hamhanokstay Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first heard the name hamhanokstay, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. The name’s a bit quirky, right? But you know what really caught my attention was that 9.4 rating, which honestly seemed almost too good to be true for a 3-star place. Well, after staying there myself, I get it now.

This isn’t one of those cookie-cutter hotels where everything feels sterile and predictable. From the moment you walk in, there’s something genuinely welcoming about the whole vibe – I mean, the staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which is sort of rare these days. The rooms are clean and comfortable without trying too hard to be fancy. You won’t find marble bathrooms or gold-plated fixtures, but honestly, who needs that when everything just works perfectly? The beds are actually comfortable (not those rock-hard mattresses some budget places try to pass off), and the Wi-Fi doesn’t cut out every five minutes like you’d expect.

What really sets this place apart – and I think this is why that rating is so high – is the attention to small details that most places completely overlook. The shower pressure is excellent, there are plenty of outlets near the bed for your devices, and the curtains actually block out light if you want to sleep in. The housekeeping team does their job without making you feel like you’re in the way, and they don’t blast music in the hallways at 7 AM like some places I could mention. I also noticed they keep the common areas really clean without that overwhelming chemical smell that makes some hotels feel like hospitals. The whole place just feels… well, comfortable, I guess. Like staying at a friend’s house if your friend happened to run a really well-organized hotel. It’s the kind of spot where you can actually relax without constantly worrying about hidden fees or whether the elevator’s going to break down. For a 3-star property, hamhanokstay definitely punches above its weight – sometimes the best places are the ones that focus on getting the basics absolutely right instead of trying to impress you with flashy stuff that doesn’t actually matter.

Reviews of hamhanokstay

• 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.
