8.8 Excellent experience of traditional hanok - Ang 29-11-2024

Review: The stay is exactly same as disclaimer given by the owner which is less comfy. But, overall its a good traditional hanok experience like those k-dramas. Building is pretty and the bedding is comfy! The ahjussi owner very friendly too! Location is exactly one road next to gyeongbokgong palace. Highly recommend to those who wanted to experience hanok

8.0 Decent Hanok Stay in Seoul - Samer 19-02-2025

Positive points: Hanok style of stay within close proximity to major tourist attractions in Seoul, WiFi strength & good breakfast included.

Negative points: Late check in is not preferred, access to the property and rooms are gained through codes and numerical locks which don’t work at all time, the bathroom is extremely small, the heating of the floor was excessive which made me lose sleep at night

9.6 Perfect Hanok experience near Gyeongbokgung Palace - Marielle 10-09-2024

Review: Well maintained hanok with the nicest host. The location is accessible, walking distance from Anguk station and just a stone throw away from the Gyeongbokgung palace. Breakfast was lovely. Will come back again

9.0 Lovely stay with a kind host in the perfect location! - Melissa 07-02-2025

Positive points: This guesthouse is a beautiful old traditional Korean building, with a lovely central garden.

Negative points: The bed was too warm for me, but for most it would be a luxury.

10.0 Stay at Hanok Village - Alvin 23-08-2024

Review: If you would like to feel how it feels like living in a Hanok Village, this is the perfect place to stay. The host is very responsive and gives a very walm welcome. The staff is very friendly and will surely attend to your needs. Amenities are complete. They also have free breakfast which I really liked. Will surely book the place again when I get back to South Korea.

9.0 Sweeet and cozy stay hanok stay. - Megan 14-01-2025

Positive points: Location is excellent, right near palace and walking distance to so much. It snowed in Seoul the night before and the heated floors felt soo good. I found sleeping very comfortable. Bathroom was compact but great, modern bathroom has been nicely fitted in. Having a quick breakfast option on site was very much appreciated. Would definitely have used more of shared facilities if we had stayed more than one night.

10.0 Really cool experience! - Tiffany 14-07-2024

Review: I thought it was super cool to stay in a hanok! You can tell how lovingly cared for this home is and there are so many cool details like hanboks to try on in the living room. I really enjoyed the simple breakfast because I got to try more local ramyuns. The location is excellent - walking distance from so many cool things. The 6001 drops you off very close as well when coming from the airport. I was traveling with my senior dad and the bathroom being outside of the single room was inconvenient for him, but fine for me. So if you’re traveling with kids or seniors, I recommend booking one of the larger rooms so the restroom is inside, but definitely staying here to try it out!

9.0 Nicely located Hanok Guesthouse - Brock 28-11-2024

Positive points: The host is very nice and helpful. He let us drop our luggage off before check in while we did some visits. The room was small but clean. The heated floor was very nice. The breakfast was very good. Very nicely located. Within walking distance of many touristic locations: Bukchon Hanok Village, 2 palaces, Insadong, Iksedong and about 5 minutes to the bus stop.

Negative points: We had the single room without attached bathroom. The room has its own bathroom, it's just across the courtyard so you have to go outside to get to it. We were there in November, so that was a little cold. Probably less of a problem in the summer.

8.4 Traditional Korean house near various places of interest - Johann 04-07-2024

Review: Very accommodating owner. Quiet and clean place. Walking distance from various points of interest

8.0 It was an overall wonderful stay and experience. The host was polite and helpful. - thu 19-11-2024

Positive points: It was close to a lot of places we want to see. We are happy with the host and the place was quiet and intimate

Negative points: The mosquitoes is an issue (in general in Korea) so just be prepared and get the right protection and if you have trouble sleeping on the floor (thin mattress) that you might like to consider. However the place is really close to the palace as it is in Hanok village.

9.6 Best location and local experience - Joel 24-03-2024

Review: Highly recommended for its strategic location to rest of the cultural and traditional sites. Walking distances from the guesthouse. If you want to experience local Hanok stay, this is a must! The only complaint is the thin mattress which will cause backache if you are not used to the flooring. Perhaps you can request additional mattresses from the owner.

8.0 Very good - Rui 07-11-2024

Positive points: Very clean and tidy traditional hanok house. You cannot expect the commodities of the usual hotels but everything needed was available.nThe owner is very kind. nThe location is also perfect, very close to the main palaces and one of the city hanok villages.

Negative points: Nothing in particular. Take care that you will sleep on a futon on the floor, so it may be uncomfortable for some people.

10.0 PICTURE PERFECT ! - Nikki 24-10-2024

Positive points: Absolutely beautiful ! What a wonderful experience ! Everyone who visits Seoul should sleep in a Hanok! Gongsimga Hanok is like a paradise. It’s quiet and peaceful , yet in a very convenient area ! The owner is very nice and 소영 (who works there and welcomed me at my arrival ) was so sweet, kind, and helpful ! She made sure my stay was very comfortable. I had such a great relaxing time. I hope I can do it again soon !
