Reviews

  • Andres from Belgium (10/10)

    The ambiance was traditional but comfy.

  • Victoria from United States (9/10)

    The host personally met us at the lodging to introduce us to the accommodation and explain how the keys work. This was an unexpected extra touch that we really appreciated. The space is wonderful, with a large shared indoor kitchen/living area plus two separate bedrooms, each with their own bathroom, and a large private outdoor area. The building is lovely – completely redone inside to feel all new and clean but with perfect historic accuracy regarding the detailing of structure. This made it feel luxurious. The towels were soft and fluffy and the bedding felt exceptionally fresh. There were comfy cushions for extra seating. The host provided complimentary bamboo tea, which was fun to enjoy. The location is very nice, towards the north end of the historic area between Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palance, with lots of nice shops and cafes close by.

  • Johan from France (9/10)

    Expérience charmante de vivre dans un mignon hanok traditionnel.
    Trois petites pièces, un futon au sol, une cuisine très bien équipée, une propreté parfaite, une hôte prévenante aux petits soins. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ! Quartier touristique charmant, à proximité de plusieurs temples à visiter, vivant jusqu'à 18 heures puis calme : pour l'agitation nocturne, il faut s'éloigner à pied ou en transports en commun.
    Meubles de grande valeur "exposés" protégés par du plastique transparent.

  • Roo-ri from Germany (10/10)
