Rakkojae Seoul Bukchon Hanok Village - Korean Traditional Hanok Hotel

A beautiful tranquil hanok in Bukchon Hanok Village. Very kind, responsive and accommodating staff. Loved the amenities and breakfast delivered to my room. Close to a number of cafes and restaurants yet very peaceful. Such a unique experience, especially for a Westerner first time in Seoul.

We stayed for three nights and loved the experience of being in a traditional Korean house. We were slightly concerned before arriving that we might find the beds too hard and would have difficulty sleeping. Once we tried them we realised this was not a problem at all - it seems there are specially-designed foam layers underneath the traditional mats. You do need to be able to get down to floor level and back up again. For us, this was not a problem and we slept very well every night. The place is really peaceful and the service on arriving and for meals was of an exceptionally high standard. We ordered traditional Korean food for breakfast and dinner (two nights only) and it was always delicious. This was all perfect for us, but it might be the wrong choice for some people. You have to remove shoes while inside, which can be uncomfortable if you are used to orthotic support. The furnishings are traditional and therefore not as plush as a regular hotel. The buildings are raised and the steps up and down are steep (as they are in all old areas of Seoul). A few concessions were made for the modern traveller - coffee machine with extra pods on request, small TV hidden in the cupboard, face masks, modern bathroom - all of which we appreciated (though did not use the TV). On the whole, this is a most interesting traditional experience, much more than a hotel, and the staff were wonderful and extremely helpful. Our only regret about staying here is that we were out seeing the sights every day and did not have more time in the quiet and beautiful environment, and did not take advantage of the sauna and other options available on site.

increíble hospedaje; tal como lo muestra la publicación, el personal es sumamente amable y servicial. Te proporcionan un hanbok para que te tomes unas fotos increíbles dentro del Hotel; además de ofrecerte un desayuno típico coreano que está delicioso. Una experiencia que vale la pena. Lo recomiendo ampliamente

スタッフのサービスはとても良いです。サウナ吧、ひとくみ30分の時間で，希望時間を聞かれます。水回りなどは改装されて綺麗です。また，１０月に利用したせいかオンドルは少しあたたかすぎで，夜中何度か目が覚めました。
