The properties description was completely accurate. We had a wonderful stay. The owner was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. I was a litter nervous about the mosquitos because of the reviews as I am allergic but the owner keeps them well under control. If you want an authentic experience close to everything I would recommend this guesthouse.

This is a traditional Korean place. Meaning, there is no bed as you sleep on a thin mattress on the floor with one good blanket. However, it is a good experience on how the people have lived and slept before modernism has taken place. It makes you appreciate the present more. The guest will wait for you at the door when you arrive. It’s a good experience overall.

Staying at this traditional hanok in the heart of Seoul was a truly unforgettable experience. Unlike other modernized hanoks, the interior feels rustic and authentic, as if you’ve stepped back in time to your grandmother’s home. The host is exceptionally kind, offering service in both Korean and English, and even prepared a delicious breakfast for us. I highly recommend this unique experience to any foreign traveler who wants to immerse themselves in the charm of a traditional Seoul hanok. 서울 중심에 위치한 이 전통 한옥에서의 숙박은 매우 인상 깊은 경험이었습니다. 현대식으로 개조된 다른 한옥과 달리, 내부는 소박하고 정통적인 분위기를 갖추어 마치 할머니 댁으로 시간 여행을 온 듯한 느낌을 줍니다. 호스트는 친절하며 한국어와 영어로 서비스를 제공해 주었고, 정성스럽게 준비한 아침 식사도 즐길 수 있었습니다. 전통 서울 한옥의 매력을 체험하고자 하는 외국인 여행객에게 적극 추천드립니다.

景福宮に近く北村韓屋街の入口、セブンイレブンも近くにあり便利な場所でした。韓屋スタイルに近い（⁠完全古民家ではないそうです）し、朝食は自由にパンやゆで卵、チーズ、ジャム、カップ麺なども置いてありとても豊かです。シャワートイレは小さいですが、問題ありません。コンセントはCタイプ。持っていたものがうまく使えなかったら、貸し出ししてくれました。とても静かなオーナーご夫婦ですが居心地は良かったです。英語を話します。

昔ながらの韓屋を体験したくこの宿に決めました。 宿の方は、日本語はほとんどできませんが、全く問題はありませんでした。 部屋はオンドルで、暖かく心地良かったです。 お風呂は洗面所についてるシャワーだけなので、チムジルバンに行きました。それは予定してた事なので、それも問題なしです。 日本から手土産でちょっとしたお菓子を持って行ったら、留守の間に部屋の前に韓国のお菓子が置いてあり感動しました。 心遣いに感謝します。 ありがとうございました😊

不錯

韓屋很美，我們入住時更遇上下雪，拍照一流！來韓國住傳統房屋也是個特別的體驗。 位置不算很易找，但去參觀景福宮非常近，離地鐵有點距離，但近巴士站的。 房間比較昏暗，床舖挺舒服的，但有些微味道，可以接受的，地板暖暖的很舒服！比較意外的是，洗浴用品品質不錯，洗完頭，頭髮感覺很輕盈。 這次是包簡單早餐的，主要就是泡麵和麵包，還有些小菜和飲品，普通吃一吃挺方便的。 屋主很愛護房子，我們也用得小心翼翼的，也是能理解的，始終房子都有一定歷史了，要小心使用。屋主很常在家，有點神出鬼沒的感覺，我們在使用廚房時會突然出現😅
