“Beautiful hanok with amazing host.”

What an amazing host. We stayed 8 nights in this beautiful, well maintained home away from home. Everything has been thought out whilst keeping the hanok traditional. Great appliances, but what makes your stay unforgettable is the host. She is one of the most kind-hearted, caring people we have met.

“I would definitely stay again.”

It’s such a beautiful place in an unexpected location! The Dongmyo flea market is really nearby and the area itself has mostly been converted to businesses, but the hanok was like a little haven in the middle of all of that. The house itself is very well maintained and our very kind host Mrs. Shin provided all the amenities we needed.

“Tradition authentic accommodation”

The host was very helpful. It is authentic Korean stay. It was a traditional style room. Soul was very cold but the room was very warm and cozy. I would definitely stay and highly recommend it. The area also has flea market on the weekend

Lovely house . Renovated. Thank you.

Great welcome with a lot of information

“Traditional Hanok house in a very traditional area”

The location was great and it was a traditional Hanok as promised. The host was so lovely and kind. She brought us to the local convenience store to buy our T cards and to a local fried chicken restaurant where she ordered for us before leaving us. Most people do not speak English in South Korea so google translate is vital.

“Host is superstar. She was very kind and helpful”

Very traditional Seoul house with beautiful garden.

“Lovely place, great location, wonderful host and we wish we could stay longer.”

The host Mrs Shin was wonderful. She communicated well despite not having a native grasp of English and her sincere thoughtfulness in checking us in and settling us down and showing us the rooms, switches etc cannot be understated. She even asked us about our plans and made great recommendations and planned a route for us. On a rainy day, she texted to remind us where umbrellas were. The location itself is fantastic because it is central to other attractions, and the house is beautiful and historical. It is right near a convenience store, a lot of great restaurants, a new leather themed dessert cafe bar Gach that we believe will be the next big thing, and in a historic leather and textile town. We even bought genuine leather belts just the street across from the house and the elderly folks that we met in Dongmyo are so sweet and friendly. This is not a touristic area at all, but one where you can really observe living. The facilities are not new but incredibly well-maintained, cosy, and all worked well. We really enjoyed sleeping with the mattresses and experiencing a slice of old-school, slow living. The courtyard is perfect for photos and has a lovely persimmon tree (the namesake of this house!) where we sat and enjoyed meals and conversations. If price was more affordable for us, we would have wanted to stay at least a week and not just two nights. If you manage to book this place, I think an open-hearted traveller type won’t regret it. It is a home away from home.

“Warm and cozy place that allows you to experience Korean culture!”

Everything was super interesting and great! Cozy, warm and all around amazing experience. Thank you for taking care of our family.

“Very nice!”

The hostel's madam was extremely kind and welcomed us warmly despite our late check-in. Thanks to her, we had a very good trip. It was a memorable trip to Korea. The area has a down-to-earth atmosphere, there are convenience stores and 24-hour restaurants nearby, and it's about a 7-minute walk from the station. It's perfect.

“Awesome place.”

Beautiful property. True to the pictures and was exactly like what we had envisioned. The place, although vintage, was kept clean with modern appliances - air fryer, induction cooker, modern toilet bowl, heated flooring etc. Location was good also. And the response from the staff was also good - super responsive and helpful.

“We liked the house but the location is not good”

Nice traditional house

“A great experience before we moved into our next stay in a modern hotel. Would highly recommend this property and the o”

Stepping back in time - a beautiful house in the middle of a bustling market area. The property is peaceful with all the amenities you need. Make the most of sitting in the courtyard area in the evenings - a real bonus. The owner could not have been more helpful.

“Kind and warm host of a charming hanok in the middle of the city”

The host greeted and picked us up from the drop off point on our arrival and let us check in early. She was very kind and enthusiastic in sharing activities we could do on our arrival and gave us a tour of the hanok. We enjoyed staying at the hanok, and were surprised that inside the hanok and the courtyard how peaceful it was as the accomodation is located right in the middle of many shops and businesses. The heating was very good - maybe a tad too good. But it was on this trip that we had the lowest recorded temperature and we were never cold once. The futon and blankets were very cozy and comfortable. At the end of our trip, they offered to look after our luggage until we were leaving for the airport and allowed us to check out a little bit later. She kindly walked us to the bus stop as well to send us off to airport. Overall, a great way to end our Korea trip. We won't forget your kindness and we can look back at our stay with you with fond memories of our trip.

“Tranquil respite in bustling Seoul”

A small oasis of cultural immersion in the heart of bustling Seoul. A peaceful and tranquil respite while soaking up the wonderful Hanok architecture and within easy public transportation to the sights and sites of Seoul. A wonderful experience!

“This place made me think of my family. I hope I will return again soon with my mother next time.”

The location is great. We were near the Dongmyo temple, and Dongmyo station Line 1&6. It is surrounded by locals and a very interesting flea market. Watching the locals live their day to day life and having the opportunity to stay in a traditional hanok made me feel honoured and warm. It is a gem. For people who only saw the hustling and bustling of Seoul, I think the people who runs this Hanok in Dongmyo will change their mind. And this hanok took us back in time. I had a lot of quiet thoughts sitting in the garden, watching the little wood crafts details around the house. I think the hosts must be very romantic and poetic people to be able to run the hanok this way. They welcomed us to the place and treated us with the biggest heart. My heart instantly felt the warmth here. When we checked out, our host walked us to our cab pick-up location, and watched us leave. He even helped me carry my luggage to the main street, worrying about our heavy luggage (completely our fault from getting out of control on shopping). We were also here during Autumn, the tangerine and persimmon season. Having persimmons under the persimmon tree in a hanok will stay in my memory of Seoul for a long long time from now on.

“Overall, a great palce to have a unique experience living in a traditional house”

I enjoyed my staying in this hanok hotel. It's located in the market and there are some little hotels around. It was easy to find the hotel. The owner is a very friendly and helpful Korean woman, who knows English quite enough to communicate. She showed me around the house and also offered some snacks and beer. The hanok itself is pretty charming. It has a bed on the floor with heating. In the bathroom there is a modern toilet and simple shower. The place was quite clean, and there was a hair dryer. No noise at the night. Nice location to go from to the City Wall.

Lovely korean style house and the host was absolutely the best. We felt very welcomed and taken care off. The station was close and it was a convenient location to go exploring the city. Small convenience store close by and a bigger market wasn't too far either. Definitely recommended to book!
