Hotel itself is good but the staffs were not very friendly. We had many instances where they were not very welcoming. One of the lady staff in reception said something rude and inappropriate in korean. We understand korean so it was really bad experience and ruined our stay. Also, they start cleaning rooms early in the morning and are very loud like banging stuffs. It ruins the calm looking vibe very quickly.

Great Hanok accommodation which included dressing in hambok for 1 hour to get photos in the Hanok. Staff were super helpful and friendly, salt bread cafe right next door and centrally located for shopping, dining and most major sites! We really enjoyed our experience in the Hanok and wearing the hanbok too made us really experience Korea!

We loved the experience of the traditional room but the bedding was a bit more limited than we anticipated.

A great experience to stay in a traditional Hanok House. We did choose the bed option but the space was wonderful as we had two spaces plus a bathroom. We had everything we needed and fresh towels were provided daily. They also offer free Hanbok rentals but we didnt get time to use this.

It might be unfair to criticize a hotel for offering traditional levels of Korean comfort--it provides what it says it will--but what I've learned from this stay is that the traditional way of sleeping in Korea is uncomfortable. Sleeping on a thin futon on a rock hard (though heated) floor is not something I want to do again. The tiny rooms are uninteresting and feel like prison cells (anachronistically there is a small TV in the room). Bathroom is extremely basic. The buildings are pretty from the outside, but only from the outside. For the price, one could stay with much greater comfort almost anywhere else in Korea. Staff are nice.

The whole property area is unique, with traditional houses and a small inside yard. The room we had wasn't clean enough considering we were going to sleep on a futon. The staff did not speak English

I didn’t expect the hotel to be so basic that you need to sleep on the floor with a futon. It was a very uncomfortable stay and the bathroom facilities was also very basic. Felt like a hostel. Anyway, I would say it’s a unique experience and something I would not do again!

This is the place to be if you want to stay at a traditional hanok. Beautiful grounds to take perfect photos. In the center of nghtlife and restaurants. But be aware that it's not that clean. They need to do a better job of cleaning the rooms and bathrooms as well as cleaning the sheet covers. Really enjoyed the stay but will only come back if they pay more attention to cleaning the interior.
