Beautiful Hanok but only from the outside especially the night you will make nice pictures! Room Onden was clean, simple and small but I knew it before booking so thats ok. Only problem was this is not a real shower but just a shower handle who goes directly to the floor so if you shower the water will go everywhere on the floor and on the toilet. Except that great location close to many cute shops and coffee..

It is a fun place to stay. Korean families come to share with their children a Williamsburg type experience. Traditional dress is available for photo sessions. Traditional games for children to enjoy. Close to lots of historic sights.

Experience of an Hanok stay was great. The staff, particularly the ones at the frontdesk were unfortunately not very helpful. We asked for restaurant recommendations and we were told to look it up on the web. Also, all restaurants close at 8PM so if you're late eater, you can end up with cup ramen in your room, like we did - would have been nice to have been warned about this at check in. The hotel location is very convenient in the center of all the sites and very quiet. Also has plenty of parking. Overall good stay.

Charming, squeaky-clean, a great place to try the traditional Korean way of sleeping on the floor. Hanbok rental on site to take lovely photo's in the garden. I was sad to leave and would totally stay here again next time.

Very thin layer wall, the property manager have known since the building was built, I guess. But, there is no way of solution like insulation or limited age or else. Between two loud ( or just normal kids banging and jumping sounds & kicking) had really hard night to having sleep. Without earplugs or earbuds , I do not recommend the beautiful & laud place strongly.

Friendly staff but the room condition was so bad. Spider webs in every corner of the room, mold in bathroom, refrigerator not working properly. I know it's a replica of a traditional korean house so i didn't expect it to be like other hotels but cleanliness is the major issue.

Le rapport qualité-prix n'est pas au rendez-vous. J'ai trouvé le prix trop cher par rapport a ce que nous avons eu. Par contre, l'hotel est très bien situé et c'est vrai que le soir les lumières sont belles. On peut faire les principaux sites touristiques à pied. Attention pas insonorisées, on entend tout dans les chambres.

Clean, comfortable, but not sound proof
Hotel is very pretty and management is friendly. Cons are that rooms are right next to each other and not sound proofed. This would not have been had except for my neighbors were two loud groups. But they eventually quieted down about 10pm. Otherwise the stay was clean and comfortable.

하룻밤 한옥을 경험하기에는 좋아요.
외관은 너무 너무 만족이지만 건물의 틀어짐이라고 해야하는지... 천장 부분 틀어짐도 있고 화장실도 그렇고... 화장실은 곳곳에 검은 곰팡이가 많아요. 청소 관리의 문제인거 같아요. 옆방의 문닫고 여는 소리가 밤에는 더 크게 들려서 계속 깨고 화장실에서는 다른 방 소음이 더 잘 들리구요. 하룻밤 한옥을 경험하기에는 좋아요.
