I had stayed at this hotel for 5 days in Seoul and was genuinely surprised by how I had enjoyed my stay.

The one thing that stood out about this place was its location. It was situated about 15-20 minutes from most of the palaces in Seoul. The location itself was also an attraction as Bukchon is known for its hanok villages, a great place for photos and also traditional souvenirs. The nearest station is Anguk, which can be found within a 5-10 minutes walk from the guesthouse.

Keeping in mind, the guesthouse is a traditional Korean hanok, which meant that some aspects of the stay was traditional. I was thankful for the AC during the summer heat but there were some bugs, which wasn't a big issue. Sleeping was done with some mattresses on the floor and I had no issues with the room, they were generally spacious and some had their own private bathrooms.

With regards to breakfast, there seems to be some mixed reviews on this as my family and I had our breakfast prepared by the host. She was very friendly but only spoke limited English - this issue was easily resolved with the help of Google translate as she was able to respond much better to our questions!

Traditional stay in Seoul!

We booked here based on location and reviews.  I am surprised at the ratings based on our experience.  We booked a quad room with a private bathroom for three nights and was so disappointed that we checked out after one night.  When told we were leaving and why, they went into a closet a did something, came out and said the hot water was now fixed and then offered us two rooms for the price of one to stay.  They kept ignoring the other issues and just kept saying two rooms.  Some things I think you should know and can provide pictures showing this issues:

1. We had bugs in our room, not one or two but many
2. The room smelled of urine
3.  Two of the floor pads were pee stained - dry but stained
4. You had to stand over the toilet to take a shower
5. There was mold in the bathroom
4. No hot water - Two of us showered at night and two in the morning, none of us had hot water
5.  Breakfast is included but you have to make your own and they won't let you start until 8am which is too late when you have tours scheduled

There were a couple of good things:  the air conditioning worked well and the location was good.

Maybe we had the worst room in the house, I don't know, but what I can say is I have never checked out early in all my travels (30 countries) but I just couldn't stay here.
