We wanted to stay in a traditional Hanok and were very happy at the Hanok1957. A small oasis between more or less typical (uninteresting) city buildings. We found all we were looking for: From a calm garden you can enter your rooms (with bathrooms) and you can even use a kitchen room. Of course, every guest has to be quiet, as the walls are thin, and you are sleeping on the floor, but on (thin) mattresses (so no problem at all). From Hanok1957 you can reach Daegu center with shops and restaurants by foot, a night market is close (Seomun) and a bus stop is nearby as is a really excellent bakery. And the staff was very kind and helpful. Simply a great hanok stay.

Only a 5 minute walk from Seomun Traditional Market and bus stops only 300m away from Hanok. Buses can take you into the heart of the city or to other tourist locations you may want to explore. The Seomun Market also has a night market with lots of food stalls open, and a lovely vibe. The staff at the Hanok always responded to queries quickly and were very friendly. The bed is traditional Korean futon, so we found it a bit hard, but it's all part of the experience.

Only thing we could fault was the futon bed. But, that's all part of the traditional hanok experience. If you don't like hard beds or sleeping on the floor, then don't stay in a hanok.

Such a lovely place: beautiful little garden, cozy room, tidy common kitchen. The bed was very comfortable and bathroom was also nice and spacious.

I thought the travelers staying in a hanok would want to live quietly and enjoy the serene atmosphere. Quite on the contrary there were young people watching tv until 2 am. The walls are very thin. Perhaps you could remind everyone to really stay quiet after 23 o'clock?

The staff was amazing! So helpful. So accommodating. It was such a quaint little get away in the middle of the city. So much charm. We could walk to the markets and the night market was a very fun family activity.

The only thing we found difficult was the pillows. They may have been authentic but they weren’t comfortable.

this is a must do in daegu. it’s really central, within walking distance of the catherdral and mission museums and downtown. we walked to everywhere From here but it’s also really close to the overground metro. the place is exactly as in the photos, the host is friendly and really kind and there is everything here you’d need. you sleep on heated floors, with sliding paper doors and the rooms are huge and have their own spotlessly clean shower and bathrooms. family room has two rooms and is enormous. there is a kitchen and garden for guests use. there is a padlock for your door but you don’t really feel like you need it - the energy here is just warm and lovely. a real must do stay.

I think older westerners like me might struggle with our backs in the morning after sleeping on the floor but it’s still worth the experience!

Its a beautiful heaven in the middle if the city. Close to all transport and very easy and safe to walk around. The market is really close too. The hanok itself is full of plants and beautifully decorated. The bathrooms are fully renovated and very clean. I would love to come back. The host was really friendly and helpful

We were warned beforega d that due to it being a traditional hanok walls were very thin. The last 2 nights there were other guests that were a bit loud after 10pm. But that is not the place's fault

Very nice host who gave lots of suggestions to do in Daegu. The building is fantastically beautiful and offers Lots of amenities like coffee and tea

The surrounding region seems top be a bit run down and you would think made a wrong turn somewhere

The pictures do not do it justice. I traveled from New Zealand. I am used to sleeping at Marae. Hanok is so beautiful. Just stunning to be immersed into korean culture like this and Daegu is a fabulous city that is easy to navigate. Staff were lovely and welcoming. Floor was lovely and warm. Excellent location and superb Hanok. I'd say it's a must do in Korea, even for 1 night 🙏🏽🇰🇷

Having to leave.

Wow, what a lovely place. We only stayed 1 night but really loved the experience of staying in a hanok. The courtyard is very pretty, everywhere is spotlessly clean, the bedding looks beautiful, the shower was powerful and it's tranquil & quiet. It's also only a short walk to the metro station. The owner was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend.

Such a lovely, clean, and cosy place. The staff is wonderfully kind and helpful. The hanok is located in a very quiet place, and is equipped with many modern gadgets that help the whole experience being resting as well. At first, I thought it would be a bit hard to sleep on the futon in the ondol room, but these were my best sleeps throughout my whole trip in South Korea! Would definitely go back there if I have the occasion in the future.
