  Everything! The owner is so accommodating and so nice.

• Anna from United States (9/10)

  Our stay at NamHyunDang was exceptional. We had a whole house and a outdoor patio to ourselves. The house is a traditional hanok and is really beautiful. I could not imagine a better place to experience Seoul and traditional Korean lifestyle. It was great to sit on the patio and enjoy the sound of the rain.
  
  The rooms are very comfortable, if you are ok with sleeping on a matres on the floor. The bathrooms are small but very clean and have all what you would need. The host is very friendly and helpful and let us use the kitchen when we arrived hungry and tired from the trip. We felt very welcomed there and I wish I can come and stay there again at some point.

  Very traditional stay and clean

• Amanda from United States (9/10)

  The hanok was absolutely precious! The feel of being in a traditional setting while being in the middle of the city was so refreshing. Everything was well stocked and welcoming, from the manager meeting us at the road to the snacks on the table, the basket of games for the kids to play! It's been thought out well and we felt right at home away from home.
