Hanok Dream

The host is a lovely person and he goes out of his way to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The location is great and everything in within a walking distance.

The room was a quite small and a bit basic.

The owner was incredibly welcoming - I arrived a little early with a plan to just leave my bag and come back later, but he checked me in immediately and gave valuable tips about the hanok village area. Staying at this place is like staying at a friend's home - the toiletries don't match, takes a few minutes to figure out the shower, borrowed slippers too large for your feet - the "imperfections" are completely charming and make you feel like a real guest, while your "friend" fusses around, trying to make everything perfect. Overall, the room was functional more than comfortable: the "bed" is a traditional style very thin mat on the floor - just think of camping, but with better linens (he seemed very concerned that the bed would not be comfortable enough) - and it did take some effort and creativity to get comfortable enough to sleep, but this was a choice I made (vs a hotel) to have a more authentic experience. The room was small, but perfectly fine for one. The bathroom was wet room style. I was out exploring (and eating) most of the time so none of this was a problem. The location is exceptional with the hanok village outside your door and 90% within a 13 min walk. I love the garden, which is flowing with gorgeous plants, flowers and butterflies! I sat outside a few times just watching the monarches flutter around.

My only complaint (and something the owner mentioned when I checked in) is that the walls are very thin, so you can literally hear everything, including your neighbours using the bathroom or people talking as they walk nearby. I always carry earplugs, so it wasn't a big problem, but not ideal either.

An extremely helpful host who took plenty of time to answer all of our questions and accommodate our requests. A traditional stay with clean rooms in a quiet and beautiful location.

La posizione è ottima in quanto posizionata nel villaggio Hanok e vicino a tutti i centri d'interesse

Le stanze sono troppo piccole per ospitare famiglie. Si dorme a terra sugli Yo tradizionali ma non è tanto questo il problema quanto gli spazi angusti. Non c'è macchinetta da caffè, non c'è lavanderia. Insomma è giusta solo per una notte se proprio non trovi nulla di simile in zona. Infine, fate attenzione perché l'host accetta solo contanti quindi siamo dovuti andare a prelevare per fare il check in
