Hotels in South Korea

We were three girls traveling together and booked their only apartment on the top floor. There’s no lift, but we honestly didn’t mind at all. The apartment was spacious, spotless, and newly renovated, with everything we needed (washing machine, separate toilet/bathroom, and daily housekeeping which was a lovely surprise). What truly made this stay unforgettable were the owners, Mr. Lee and his family. From the moment we booked, they were incredibly attentive. Jason messaged us before arrival to help with directions and luggage, and throughout our stay both he and Mr. Lee were always ready with tips, guidance, and checked in on us, whether it was late night or early morning. Their kind gestures went far beyond what you’d expect from a hotel. They even hosted a small chicken gathering for us on our last night, which was one of the highlights of our trip. Their warmth, thoughtfulness, and constant presence made us feel not just welcome, but at home. The hotel also felt very safe as the entrance is only accessible with your room key, and Mr. Lee would stay awake until all the guests had returned at night, which gave us so much peace of mind. The location is also excellent. Just a minute’s walk from Jongno 5-ga station, with buses right outside that take you across the city (Myeongdong was just one bus away). Dongdaemun is also a short, scenic walk along the stream. We felt completely safe returning late at night, and there are plenty of restaurants, cafés, convenience stores, and pharmacies nearby. Gwangjang Market is only a 5-minute walk. The building itself is well-maintained and thoughtfully designed, with cooling air conditioners on every floor, a clean and spacious rooftop terrace, and a welcoming lobby where tea, coffee, and biscuits are always available. But above all, it’s the people who made this place so special. Mr. and Mrs. Lee, along with Jason and Henry, go above and beyond in a way that’s rare to find.

The Hanok was really beautiful and so different from a customary hotel. The breakfast at One Cafe was excellent. Above all the staff were charming and attentive to all our needs. The focus on guest satisfaction was amongst the highest we have ever encountered. Exceptional hospitality in a stand out location!

Everything was better than expected. Very kind staff with very good English. Amazing views from the room and room service as well.

Lovely place with beautiful view from the garden and apartment balcony. Our unit was very spacious, clean and comfortable. Thank you to Mr Jeff, our host and also staff.

The location is convenient. The facilities are great, such as the washing machine, water cooler, microwave. The space and beds were fantastic for a cheaper alternative.
