Host is excellent and responsive, she made our stay comfortable and pleasant. The property is spacious, clean and in an excellent location, within walking distance of the main palaces, restaurants and cafes. We only stayed for two nights but could easily have stayed longer.

“Wonderful experience. Great location, near to cafes n good food but yet a quiet area away from the crowds.”
Host was very responsive before and during stay. House was very clean and comfortable. We also asked for recommendations on Korean bbq place in vicinity for which we were suggested a very accessible restaurant with great quality and value for money. We experienced first snowfall in Seoul and were mesmerised by the snow falling into the garden. Such a wonderful and enjoyable experience and stay overall!

“We feel so lucky to be able to stay at such a beatiful traditional hanok. We will definitely stay again in our next trip”
We really love the traditional hanok experience, with its cosy living room and outdoor set of chairs. Its very clean and full of character. The location is great, very close to Insadong and there is also a park nearby, with cosmos flowers still blooming. Very pretty. The host, Suji is very responsive and waited to welcome us although we arrive almost at midnight.

Nice and cozy hanok. Great location. The house is well equipped with washing and drying machines, water filter, dry sauna, kitchen etc. Has everything you can need for a longer stay. The host is very nice and helpful. She answered all of our questions and helped us with storing our luggage for a couple more hours after the checkout. Very nice experience of a traditional house.

“Strategic location, easy access and superb communication.”
This was our first time in South Korea and Seoul, and it was so easy. From coming from Incheon airport to the property on public transport, to finding it when there. It has everything you want and more, located in a most wonderful neighborhood. The hosts always have your back, but when you are there not much is needed. Everything is cared about and nice. Everything you need is just around the corner, if it you need a nice place to eat or transportation. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who are travelling in a group and want to stay at a place that is authentic and cozy.

“Wonderful hanok experience!”
Beautiful and spacious hanok. The hanok owner was so kind to let us check in slightly earlier. Location is superb. Near to many landmarks and cute cafes like cafe onion. If you are a k drama buff, it will fulfill your fantasy of staying in a korean house.

Location was really good. Only about 150m from Anguk station and in the heart of Bukchon. The accomodation was clean and well equipped. They also provided many amenities including filtered water. The host Suji was thoughtful and very responsive.

“Lovely stay at a traditional hanok with modern amenities”
It was an eye-opening experience to stay at a Hanok for the first time. We stayed during winter, but the flooring for the whole place was heated (even the washroom), so we felt very cosy the whole time. Suii was very helpful - suggested breakfast place when we asked, but basically left us to have our privacy. We really enjoyed our stay!

A nice cosy place with 3 bedrooms and 2 toilets that was more than sufficient for our party of 7. One hair dryer provided for each room. Very well equipped with washer / dryer, air fryer, microwave, grill pan and foot Sauna. Walking distance to Bukchon Hanok Village and Anguk station was just a few minutes away. Would definitely recommend this place !
