"以前より、韓屋に泊まってみたかった私でした。 存分に雰囲気味わえました。 チェックインはセルフでしたが(事前に詳しいやり方が知らされるので)問題なかったです。 私が泊まった部屋は超コンパクト(TV無し)で一瞬戸惑いましたが、すぐに慣れて、時間がゆっくり流れる癒しの空間が帰る頃には心地よかったです。 備品は、十分に補充出来ますし、軽食もフリーで頂けました。 あと、立地が最高です!電車もバスも乗り場は近いし、東大門のショッピングセンターにも徒歩ですぐ行けるし、都会ソウルの癒しスポット「清渓川」もすぐそこです。 韓国にはもう何回も行ってますが、今回のステイはその中でも上位に来るくらい魅力的でした。"
