“Beautiful Space”
EVERYTHING. The most well thought out space I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. I did not want to leave once I got to this tranquil paradise. (So for 24 hours I didn't) It is close to EVERYTHING. The best 3 nights EVER

“Perfect!”
Viva La Vida is such a charming accomodation! It’s a beautifully decorated traditional hanok. It is very well located, in walking distance from many of the famous Seoul locations. It has a comfortable double bed, a traditional table, a kitchen and a shower. The highlight of the apartment is the garden, which gives a moment of piece. We loved just staying there and enjoying a cup of coffee. The apartment is well equipped: it has a washing machine, hair dryer and even a curling iron. The host is very kind!

“Incredible and peaceful.”
Such a wonderful quirky place. Right where we wanted to be. Great little touches - coffee tea etc and mozzie spray! A real find rather than the usual vanilla style hotel. Fluffy towels and robes. Fish in the pond and the sound of rain on the roof. Bathroom water pressure really good and lovely warm showers.

“Such a lovely & quaint experience”
It was lovely staying at the hanok for a few days in the 2nd time we were in Seoul. The host was very attentive with suggestions on WhatsApp, including an udon recipe with the ingredients already in the fridge. The location was very convenient, in a quiet street opposite the Changdeokgung Palace, which we visited and also got tickets to the Secret Garden, which was special. The hanok was also an easy walk and metro ride to many tourist sites.

The ambience was amazing. It was my last night in seoul and I really wanted to stay in a guest house and this exceeded my expectations. Tony was very gracious and gave lots of attention to detail such as skin care available to use and a beautifully laid out tea ceremony. I would stay here in a heartbeat again
