Reviews

• Criza from Guam (9/10)

  The location was great. Just a couple of minutes away from Gyeongbokgung Palace, bus station and the food alley. The owner was awesome, very nice and very helpful. Highly recommended! We spent Christmas Eve at the house and Mr. Han gave us rice cake and fruits. A sweet gesture that we really appreciate. My kids enjoyed playing at the garden as well especially during the snowfall on Christmas Day.

• Tsjmex from Mexico (9/10)

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Mr. Han's place. Our host is a lovely man who went above and beyond for us. He met us on the street to ensure that we didn't get lost, served us fruit and snacks on two separate occasions, recommended places to visit, and even lent us equipment to help with my husband's injured knee.
  
  We were welcome to use the kitchen, though we didn't need to except to store leftovers in the refrigerator and boil water for the instant coffee (and tea) that was ready available. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, and toothpaste, as well as towels were provided.
  
  The share house is in a quiet neighborhood and is 2 small blocks away from a food street, so we only had to take a short walk to get food. In fact, we had dinner here everyday for the duration of our stay.
  
  My husband especially loved sleeping on the tatami mattress on the floor.

• Thorsten from Germany (9/10)

  The location was absolutely stunning – 2 minutes walk from a street food alley, 10 minutes from the big palace; but without the hustle and bustle you would expect. The garden is a hidden gem; the room was clean and spotless; coffee and cold bottled water for free. Mr. Han provided great information how to find the location and was an absolute great host (when he saw me having a drink in the garden he returned with some salty crackers to accompany the drink). When I would return to Seoul staying north of Han-river I would choose this location again!

• Simon from Canada (9/10)

  Relaxed and quiet, great location, friendly and helpful owner.

• Nur from Singapore (9/10)

  We stayed at Hans House for the 1st time when we visited Seoul in Dec'22. In our recent trip to Seoul in Jun'24, we stayed at Hans House again. No regrets. Location is great and the host is just as friendly and hospitable. Cosy and comfortable, a great place to wind down after a day of touring. Will definitely stay here again for our next visit!

• Jiaxin from United States (9/10)

  The location was amazing. So close to the place and Buchon Hanok village. Lots of good food around. 5 min to subway and bus station with express bus to the airport.
  The host was very friendly and helpful and let me drop my luggage off in the morning.

• Yi from China (9/10)

  Boss is very nice，his english is good. The room is clean and quiet.It's convenient to go anywhere. There are also many restaurants around.

• Astrid from Italy (9/10)

  The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood, which is quiet and safe.
  I had no issues walking back by myself in the evening. It is also within walking distance from the royal palaces, Bukchon village, and other traditional sites. The underground station is also just a few minutes away. There are a lot of restaurants and places to get a drink in the evening just a couple of steps away.
  The host is incredibly welcoming, took time to provide useful information and even gave me a map and guidebook of Seoul. On one occasion he even offered some fresh fruit and bean milk, which made for a nice breakfast. If I needed something, he would make sure to provide it asap.
  The room I stayed in was small but comfortable, and the bathroom had everything, from shampoo to clean towels. Just be aware of the korean style shower (which is comfortable, as long as you remember to remove anything that might get wet).
  The shared kitchen is always clean and tidy, and there's a lovely garden where you can sit when the weather allows it.
