We stayed as a group of four—two adults and two kids. The room was a bit small but cozy, and overall, it was a very good experience for all of us. The kids really enjoyed sleeping on the futons. It took the adults a little time to get used to them, but it ended up being a very memorable stay. Breakfast was brought to our room, and we enjoyed leaving the door open to eat while taking in the quiet morning atmosphere. The location is great—just a short walk from Anguk Station and still manageable even with luggage. We loved being able to walk around the neighborhood, which is full of shops and restaurants. We would definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a wonderful traditional Korean-style accommodation.

It was a really cool location and experience but the room is quite small and not sound proof at all. The owners were friendly but I could hear them and other guests at night.

Not a traditional hotel by any means, but very traditional South Korean guest house. The Korean breakfast was fantastic. A bit hard to find.

Generally a good stay. Great breakfasts, friendly hosts, wonderful location. We'd do it again. Not for everyone though. Our room for 5 was very tight and the AC drained directly on to the bathroom floor. With some tidying up and care, this could really be a first rate stay, esp. given its location. If you don't mind a somewhat barebones experience with a good breakfast, go for it.

This accommodation is traditional Korean lodging style with only a comforter (some has stains) as a bedding which is hard for those not used to hard sleeping surface. The floor is heated though. Air conditioning is available. The space is small for 4 people with luggages. The Korean breakfast is great and served at 8 am. The location is close to many restaurants (even Michelin rated) and walking distance to Gyeongbokdung palace and train stations.

Interesting way to live in past history in this hundred year old home. The owner speaks rudimentary English. Not super friendly people. The morning ethnic food is tasty but no changes to accommodate with allergies or food preferences. The place could be much better if they clean up and organize the centre courtyard to be nicer. Sleeping on floor with a thin mattress was ok but not super comfortable. Very near centre of Bukchon Hanbok village. Very walkable area. Lots of restaurants, cafes and shops nearby.

This is an absolutely amazing place. It it tucked away in the middle of the Hanok village area and is within walking distance of the Changdeok Palace and Insadong. It was a perfect place for all of our activities. The hospitality of the staff is beyond amazing. From carrying your bags in, to accommodating arrival times While the site mentions their breakfast, it does not being to describe the experience. At around 8am you slide open the doors to your area and are presented loaded trays of freshly made traditional Korean foods to start your day. The soups and food are prepared in the courtyard. Our 2nd morning was chilly and the amazing gukbap soup was far better than a cup of coffee to get us started. There is also filtered water in the courtyard and the location is right beside 2 restaurants with multiple others and continence stores minutes away. On the comfort level, this is a Hanock, which means there are not beds. There are traditional sleeping mats and blankets. We were in the deluxe and a bit surprised of the actual size (about 6ft by 12ft in the main area. This may be an adjustment for some western travelers. We did have some struggles with luggage and getting settled in at night with 4 people and some large bags. We will get the larger room on our next visit. Temperature wise, we were very comfortable even though it was fairly cold. The bathroom also had a heated floor and was larger than other Korean hotels I've stayed in. Loved our visit!

방은 따뜻하고 좋았는데 화장실에서 냄새가 너무 많이났고 화장실문도 닫히지 않아서 불쾌했습니다. 방음이 잘안되는데 옆방소리때문에 잠자기 불편했어요. 주인분은 미리 손님들에게 소음에 관한 내용을 분명히 주의를 주셔야겠습니다.

安国駅からレトロな街並みを少し歩き細い路地に入ったところにあります。途中で迷ってスマホを見ていると親切な韓国人のお姉さんが案内してくれました。玄関の木のドアを開けると写真で見るより狭い感じがしましたが、韓屋にテンション上がりました！お部屋はスーツケースも広げられたし、良いお部屋でした。シャワーとトイレは一体で床は濡れますが、想定内だったので問題なし。韓国旅行時は捨てるタオル持参必須！完璧なバストイレを望む方はやめた方がいいです。このような環境を楽しむ人向け。豪に入れば郷に従えで楽しいです。景福宮まで歩いて行けるし、仁寺洞散策も出来るし、とにかく便利な場所です。オンドルが入っていて暖かかったですが、寝る時はやや暑く感じたのでエアコンで温度調節しました。快適です。朝ごはんは7時半にビビンバが来ました。美味しかった〜！ウォーターサーバーも調理場の前にあり。私たちの部屋に冷蔵庫はなし。チェックアウト後、観光に行く間のスーツケースは預かってくれました。無口なアジョシ、たまの笑顔が優しかったです。

J'avais payé une chambre pour 5 et j'ai eu 2 chambres avec 4 futons pour 5 personnes. L'épaisseur de la literie nous donne l'impression d'avoir dormi à même le sol.

여자6명이 자는데 큰 문제는 없었다. 집 자체는 옛날 한옥집이여서 추억 돋는 장소이나 시설은 좀 낡아서 (특히 화장실) 조금 불편했으나 주인 아저씨의 친절함은 아주 좋았다. 집 찾아 가는 길도 길거리 공연도 있고 예뻐서 걷는게 힘들지 않았다. 무엇보다 좋았던건아침 조식!! 기대를 안하고 받아본 밥상이라서 그런지 간만에 잘 차려진 밥상에 감동~ 너무 좋았다.

방안에 냉장고가 있어서 깜짝 놀랬어요. 저녁 먹으러 외출했다가 방에 들어왔는데 음식냄새가 나더라구요ㅠ.ㅠ 잘 때 누웠는데 반찬냄새가 솔솔 났답니다. 그것 빼고는 조식을 방으로 갖다 주시고 아이들이 편하게 있을 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 욕실도 따뜻해서 좋았습니다.
