This was amazing! Mr Han is the best host you can find. It was my first time solo traveling, so kind of exciting. This stay made it the best start of my holiday. Mr Han is really nice. Gives you suggestions what places are nice to visit. He made me traditional korean pancakes and gave me fruit. The place is nice. You will stay in a hanok village. There is a garden which is really quit, only birds to hear. When you walk like 2 minutes you will be in a foodstreet. You are close to the palace, bus and metro station (line 3). It is a perfect place for exploring Seoul. The room is big and clean. And there is a shared kitchen where you can cook if you want to. I would really recommend this place to stay. The location and Mr Han will make your holiday special. So don't hesitate, book this place 🫶

The location is exceptional. Less than 10 minutes walk via historical district from subway station and airport shuttle bus station. A lot of tourist stuff is located nearby: palaces, museums, walking areas, food streets. The house has very nice and cozy yard. I really love having such view from my window. House has a shared kitchen with free tea/coffee/water, microwave, fridge and other cooking stuff. The owner, Mr. Han, is nice, speaks English well, provides with directions, maps and some small gifts like cookies or free water. I was afraid it could be cold in the night (we travelled in March, and temperature was below zero and there was snow sometimes) but it was fine and sometimes even hot inside.

Our room had bathroom outside, near the shared kitchen. It was a private bathroom used only by us, but someone may feel incomfortable with it. Walls are pretty thin so you can clearly hear people in the corridor. Dont forget your ear plugs.

The house is located in a beautiful neighborhood, which is quiet and safe. I had no issues walking back by myself in the evening. It is also within walking distance from the royal palaces, Bukchon village, and other traditional sites. The underground station is also just a few minutes away. There are a lot of restaurants and places to get a drink in the evening just a couple of steps away. The host is incredibly welcoming, took time to provide useful information and even gave me a map and guidebook of Seoul. On one occasion he even offered some fresh fruit and bean milk, which made for a nice breakfast. If I needed something, he would make sure to provide it asap. The room I stayed in was small but comfortable, and the bathroom had everything, from shampoo to clean towels. Just be aware of the korean style shower (which is comfortable, as long as you remember to remove anything that might get wet). The shared kitchen is always clean and tidy, and there's a lovely garden where you can sit when the weather allows it.

Nothing comes to mind, I had a lovely stay!

The location was absolutely stunning - 2 minutes walk from a street food alley, 10 minutes from the big palace; but without the hustle and bustle you would expect. The garden is a hidden gem; the room was clean and spotless; coffee and cold bottled water for free. Mr. Han provided great information how to find the location and was an absolute great host (when he saw me having a drink in the garden he returned with some salty crackers to accompany the drink). When I would return to Seoul staying north of Han-river I would choose this location again!

The location was excellent close to metro and bus stop from airport. Close to the palaces and other areas I just walked everywhere. Communication was easy and whilst I initially failed on following the photos and map sent by Mr Han I eventually made it via some nice alley ways. I have added my photo walk up food street from subway exit 2 as per Mr Hans look for the sign 181 (photo) The food street has some amazing authentic food options. I found a tiny little coffee shop yellow colouring with succulents in window I was treated amazingly. Room value for money in middle of Seoul and love fact my money was going directly to locals and I got to know them a little bit.

Nothing was an issue for me. Room was basic but it was everything I expected and needed. A tiny suggestion would be an umbrella you could borrow at front door.

- Mr Han is very helpful when asking for help/information. - Location is great, central to historical sites. - You have privacy in the ground floor and there is a kitchen where you can use a microwave oven and boil water. - One minute from the food street which has many restaurants you can try.

- Bedroom across ours does not have a washroom. It is a room for 4 people and they went to the washroom in the hall beside our room and as a light sleeper, my wife had a hard time sleeping because of the noise of closing bedroom door and washroom door. - As mentioned in the positive side of things, there is a kitchen but you cannot use it to cook.

The location was really lovely. It was quiet at the house and just around the corner from many restaurants and sights (like the palace). The owner was very helpful. The rooms are basic and the beds were super comfortable. You also have access to the kitchen for coffee and fruit.

There was nothing that we didnt like.It can be hard to find when you first arrive and the owner tried very hard to help. When you arrive on public transportation, we would suggest that you look for or google the Paris Baguette - which is right near the main road to get to his neighborhood OR to google the SEJONG VILLAGE FOOD STREET. Then the photos that Han sends are more helpful. Once you know the way, it is easy!

our stay at Hans House was absolutely amazing — the owner, Han, is an incredibly nice and caring person, he provided us with a lot of info about Seoul and the surrounding neighbourhood and gave us his recommendations. the location is even better than great — it’s a nice quite neighbourhood in Sejong village, within a really close walking distance to a subway station (around 5 minutes), a food street, a bus stop (including the airport bus), several convenience stores and, more importantly, some of the best of Seoul’s tourist attractions — Gyeongbokgung Palace (it’s around 5 minutes away), Bukchon Hanok Village, Insadong and so on. we were staying here in the summer, when it’s boiling hot, but our room had AC to help us survive, the fridge had cold water and the kitchen was equipped with everything you might need :) the room itself was quite spacious, really comfortable for three people i highly recommend Hans House to anyone coming to Seoul, be it for a few days or longer :) and can’t wait to come back here again myself!

Mr Hans was super helpful, I got lost late night because the taxi driver dropped me off at another alley and I could not see well at night. I sent him a message here and he went out of his way to find me and help with my luggage. I will always recommend this share house. It is walking distance to the train station and main road (if you will take a taxi instead). It is also near the Sejong Food alley for local Korean beef then Paris Baguette for sandwiches and if you find yourself having trouble with local shops, you can go to Chicken in the Chicken where the owner speaks good Englsh. The room is just ok for a single traveler and it has a private bathroom which was great. Amenities were good, they have a ref, washing machine, free water and coffee.

Going back late night/midnight can be quite scary since the alley is dark but I just use my phone's flashlight. Not the fault of the host though.

We stayed at Hans House for the 1st time when we visited Seoul in Dec'22. In our recent trip to Seoul in Jun'24, we stayed at Hans House again. No regrets. Location is great and the host is just as friendly and hospitable. Cosy and comfortable, a great place to wind down after a day of touring. Will definitely stay here again for our next visit!
