Overall: We enjoyed our stay in this little hanok run by a very friendly and helpful elderly couple. Our 1st two nights were spent here, and our younger daughter enjoyed it so much that she wished we didn't need to leave.Location: good as it was near the two palaces - Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung - and in the Bukchon Hanok Village, so you can easily visit these areas. Bus stop just in front of the hanok. Only issue is that it is up a very steep slope, so if you plan to walk there from the subway with big luggages, you will find it tough. Also, not so easy for those having walking difficulties.Room: family room for quad was just enough for us to put our luggages beside the beds. Nice beds on the floor with extra comfy blankets (duvets). Slept well on them. Room has aircon. Very cosy. Adequate hanging for clothes in the room, but toilet was rather small and cramped. Not enough places for hanging clothes and towel.Service: the elderly couple was very hospitable and friendly. Very cheerful people. They helped us with locating places nearby, explaining transportation nearby, calling for a taxi to get to the Seoul Station. The landlady was kind enough to also speak to the taxi driver to help us get our luggages into the boot. We were worried he would reject us as we were 4 pax with 1 large luggage, and 3 cabin luggages plus our own daypacks. She spoke to him nicely, and said it is possible, and he managed to squeeze them in. Traditional Korean breakfast was also prepared by the landlady and it was delicious. We had to leave early to catch our train, so she packed the kimbap nicely and put them in a bag with bottled cool water, with chopsticks and serviettes. Was so kind of her!

Beautiful traditional Korean stay. The location is perfect between the two palaces. The family is extremely helpful and friendly. We really loved the home cooked breakfast. We were initially worried about language constraints but it was no problem. Their daughter (Jane) speaks English, and we could easily communicate with Auntie too. They guided us with recommendations for food, places to visit, subway and bus routes, took care of our meal preferences and also helped us get a taxi while leaving. I would highly recommend this place for a unique traditional experience. The location is perfect to visit most of the spots around on foot. Thank you for hosting us. We hope to visit again.
