What locals say

Korean guests describe a calm, carefully run hanok: welcome tea and snacks, thick bedding on heated ondol floors, cypress tubs and a Korean breakfast that many call the highlight. The Bukchon annex sits higher up with Namsan Tower views. It is expensive, walls are thin so nights are quiet by rule, some rooms are cold in winter or have no window, the sauna is booked in 30-minute slots, and there is no parking.
