Blissful house Overview

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Blissful house – I mean, the name sounds almost too good to be true, right? But you know what, sometimes these smaller three-star places really surprise you, and this one absolutely did. The moment I walked through the front door, there was this immediate sense of calm that just washed over me. It’s hard to describe, but the whole place has this warm, lived-in feeling that makes you forget you’re staying at a hotel rather than visiting a friend’s really well-decorated home.

What struck me most was how the owners (and I’m pretty sure they’re actually hands-on owners, not some corporate chain) have managed to nail that sweet spot between cozy and polished. The common areas have this perfect mix of comfortable furniture that you actually want to sink into – none of that stiff lobby seating that looks great but feels like sitting on cardboard. I spent way too much time just hanging out in their lounge area with a cup of coffee, watching other guests chat quietly or read books they’d grabbed from the little library corner. The lighting throughout the place is spot-on too, warm and soft in the evenings but bright enough during the day that you’re not squinting at your phone or fumbling around your room.

The rooms themselves are where Blissful house really shines, and I can see why they’re pulling a 9.5 rating – that’s seriously impressive for any hotel, let alone a three-star property. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen rather than just ordered in bulk from a hotel supply catalog. The bed was actually comfortable (you’d be amazed how many places get this basic thing wrong), and I loved that they had real curtains that actually blocked out light, plus those little touches like a bedside carafe for water and outlets positioned where you actually need them. The bathroom wasn’t huge, but it was spotless and had decent water pressure, which honestly ranks pretty high on my list of hotel must-haves. Check-in was refreshingly smooth too – no endless forms or upselling attempts, just friendly folks who seemed genuinely happy to have you there. I ended up extending my stay by a night because, well, why mess with a good thing? If you’re looking for a place that feels more like a retreat than just somewhere to crash, this little gem delivers way beyond what you’d expect from its star rating.

Best hotels in Seoul range from luxurious properties in the upscale Gangnam district to boutique hotels with stunning views of Namsan Tower and the Han River.

    It’s beautifully done. Great attention to detail and includes all the modern amenities one can need. I loved the hot and cold water tap in the kitchen. Great for a quick tea. The outdoor bath is such a luxurious experience. I loved the whole experience.
