Holiday hours, published rates, photos and CCTV, and large-dog policy at Meongpa, Cheongdam Uri Animal Hospital, Bauraum, Starmong and Gaereria.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;All five state holiday operation in their own notices. Meongpa, Bauraum and Cheongdam Uri Animal Hospital list 24-hour operation, Starmong lists open year-round, and Gaereria is the one where a waiting list builds up every holiday.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Two publish a nightly rate on their own site: Starmong (₩60,000–₩100,000) and Gaereria (₩50,000–₩90,000, from a 2022 interview). The other three give the figure over the phone.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Gaereria streams the room&apos;s CCTV to your phone; Bauraum and Starmong send photos. Meongpa and Cheongdam Uri Animal Hospital say nothing about photos or CCTV.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;For a dog over 20kg, start with Meongpa (large dogs OK) and Gaereria (large dogs accepted). Starmong&apos;s rate table stops at 15kg.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;5 picks · researched Sep 17, 2026&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category>Pets</category><category>Gangnam-gu</category><category>Gangnam dog hotel</category><category>Gangnam Chuseok holiday dog hotel</category><category>Seocho dog hotel</category><category>Nonhyeon-dong dog hotel</category><category>Gangnam dog boarding</category><category>Gangnam 24-hour dog hotel</category><category>large dog hotel Gangnam</category></item><item><title>Yangpyeong dog cafes, from off-leash yards to a riverside lawn</title><link>https://top5korea.com/en/columns/yangpyeong-dog-cafe/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://top5korea.com/en/columns/yangpyeong-dog-cafe/</guid><description>Five dog-friendly cafes in Yangpyeong compared on indoor rules, where the leash can come off and weight limits — from off-leash Pet Republic to riverside Cafe Mur and Moonlit&apos;s outdoor pet zone.</description><pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;Five dog-friendly cafes in Yangpyeong compared on indoor rules, where the leash can come off and weight limits — from off-leash Pet Republic to riverside Cafe Mur and Moonlit&apos;s outdoor pet zone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pet Republic in Yongmun is the only one where the leash comes off right inside the cafe. No weight limit, no belly band, and a 45-tonne pool beside 300 pyeong of lawn.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dyumeon Cafe and Brickyard let dogs loose in the yard. Dyumeon takes large dogs; Brickyard takes only dogs under 20 kg and charges ₩8,000 to enter.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cafe Mur keeps dogs leashed even in the yard, and indoors you hold them. In return the Namhangang sits beyond 300 pyeong of front lawn, which suits a day when the owner wants to rest.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;At Moonlit dogs cannot come inside and play in the outdoor pet zone. It fits a group that mixes dog people and non-dog people, or a late evening outdoors.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;5 picks · researched Sep 15, 2026&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><category>Pets</category><category>Yangpyeong</category><category>Yangpyeong dog cafes</category><category>Yangpyeong dog cafe recommendations</category><category>dog-friendly cafes in Yangpyeong</category><category>Yangpyeong dog yard</category><category>Seojong dog cafe</category><category>Yongmun dog cafe</category><category>Yangpyeong off-leash cafe</category></item></channel></rss>
