Pros:

Très bon emplacement. Très beau logement extérieur, moins agréable à l'intérieur.

Cons:

Plus ancien à l'intérieur. Murs pas très propre, petite odeur dans la chambre. Mais ne gâche en rien l'expérience.

Una notte magica
Pros:

Sembrava di essere davvero in un kdrama, struttura pulita, servizio di deposito bagagli comodissimo, puoi indossare anche un hanbok che ti danno a disposizione nella struttura

Pros:

Location was great, right in the heart of the hanok village. The 1-hour hanbok experience was nice, we were able to take beautiful pictures in the property.

Cons:

Hanbok being free meant the quality was fairly low, but fair

Wonderful stay, great location
Pros:

We only stayed 1 night in hanok as well wanted to experience this. Was great. The location was superb. So close to eateries and on main shopping street. Walkable to all the historical sites. Definitely a great experience, they even offer free hanbok clothing for you to walk around on the hotel grounds for photos.

Cons:

Honestly could not fault anything.

Experiencia Coreana de época
Pros:

Ideal para vivir un experiencia Coreana de la época, lugar muy tranquilo pese a estar en zona bulliciosa. Dormir en futón está bien pero la almohada tipo saco de arroz no es lo más en comodidad. Puedes ponerte ropas de la época y vivír aún más la experiencia.

Amazing, authentic korean housing in the tourist area
Pros:

Positive:
- It is located in the middle of the old city - you can reach the Woljeonggyo Brigde, the National Museum or the Donggung Palace even by feet, if you are fit.
- It is on a very touristic, busy street, so you will find a lot to eat, do or try out at the area.
- The hotel itself is extraordinery - you can enjoy-explore the old korean traditional housing.
- The room was neat, clean, functional with a hint of luxury as TV, frigde and bathroom was also included.
- The garden has a small koi fish pound with a bridge, everything is nice, traditional, very authentic.
- You can try Hanbok (traditional korean clothing) on! You just write your name at the reception and then go to the small house with all of the clothes and choose what you like. Then just walk around the authentic buildings and make your photos/ or go to the photoboot and shoot some pics. Truly super idea and so much fun!
- The "Don't disturbe" Cafe behind the hotel gives you 10-20% off, if you show your keys - has some tasty bakery products and good drinks.
- The hotel has some lockers and a souvenir shop.

Cons:

Negative:
- As it is a very busy area it is loud around till late night.
- You sleep traditionally. On a tick blanket on the floor - if you have back problems or can't get up easily from the floor - that will be uncomfortable for you.
- The shower doesn't really have a designated area. So if you shower, everything gets wet. After a night it is dry again, but you'll get wet, if you need to got to the WC.

Pros:

Beautiful complex, in a good location and with free hanbok experience on their grounds.

Cons:

The bathroom smelled like mold and there was black mould on the shower tiles. The sink and shower were both clogged.
The glass windows were dirty on the inside of the hanok, full of greasy hand prints.
The room was spacious, but nowhere to sit comfortably.
