It was a great experience staying in traditional Korean house and the location could not be beat. The room was clean and comfortable, but if you are looking for a western style hotel that you are going to hang out in all day, this may not be the place for you.

This is a very different experience so be prepared for a basic room - mattress on the floor, little in the way of amenities. But the owner is fabulously friendly and helpful, provides breakfast and advice. The location is superb, easy to walk to sights, transport, shops and restaurants.

The properties description was completely accurate. We had a wonderful stay. The owner was very hospitable and made sure we had everything we needed. I was a litter nervous about the mosquitos because of the reviews as I am allergic but the owner keeps them well under control. If you want an authentic experience close to everything I would recommend this guesthouse.

This is a traditional Korean place. Meaning, there is no bed as you sleep on a thin mattress on the floor with one good blanket. However, it is a good experience on how the people have lived and slept before modernism has taken place. It makes you appreciate the present more. The guest will wait for you at the door when you arrive. It’s a good experience overall.

建物は古いですが、掃除はとても行き届いてました。 韓国の古民家に宿泊してみたくて予約しました。 その日はとても寒い日でしたが、床暖房がぬくぬくで、部屋内は快適でした。 トイレは別棟だったのでとても寒かったですが、それも覚悟してたので特に不満ではないです。 ただ、朝6時だったか、7時だったか…息子と会話をしてる際に注意されました。 普通のホテルなら全然普通の音量での会話（シャワーをどうやって使うのかなどを息子に説明したりしてました）でしたが、古民家なのでその辺は他の宿泊者への配慮が必要なのでかなり気遣いは必要だなと思いました。

Staying at this traditional hanok in the heart of Seoul was a truly unforgettable experience. Unlike other modernized hanoks, the interior feels rustic and authentic, as if you’ve stepped back in time to your grandmother’s home. The host is exceptionally kind, offering service in both Korean and English, and even prepared a delicious breakfast for us. I highly recommend this unique experience to any foreign traveler who wants to immerse themselves in the charm of a traditional Seoul hanok. 서울 중심에 위치한 이 전통 한옥에서의 숙박은 매우 인상 깊은 경험이었습니다. 현대식으로 개조된 다른 한옥과 달리, 내부는 소박하고 정통적인 분위기를 갖추어 마치 할머니 댁으로 시간 여행을 온 듯한 느낌을 줍니다. 호스트는 친절하며 한국어와 영어로 서비스를 제공해 주었고, 정성스럽게 준비한 아침 식사도 즐길 수 있었습니다. 전통 서울 한옥의 매력을 체험하고자 하는 외국인 여행객에게 적극 추천드립니다.

景福宮に近く北村韓屋街の入口、セブンイレブンも近くにあり便利な場所でした。韓屋スタイルに近い（⁠完全古民家ではないそうです）し、朝食は自由にパンやゆで卵、チーズ、ジャム、カップ麺なども置いてありとても豊かです。シャワートイレは小さいですが、問題ありません。コンセントはCタイプ。持っていたものがうまく使えなかったら、貸し出ししてくれました。とても静かなオーナーご夫婦ですが居心地は良かったです。英語を話します。
