We were looking for an opportunity for Hanok space in Seoul for a male child interested in Korean culture, which led us to book this place. How so misleading it was in that there was nothing Hanok about in the spatial sense. The surficial patchy decoration in an extremely tight space within the ordinary high-rise urban reinforced concrete building left us much to desire. Something to be aware for those travelling with kids who are different to the parent's sex, the hotel made us to book an additional separate room for my younger son at additional exorbitant cost after refusing to accommodate us together in the double room we had originally booked as it was in the female only floor. Note that it’s an offence to leave a child alone if it places them at risk and what they suggested was leaving under 12 years old boy overnight amongst male adults unknown. Despite the refund option was refused, they offered to remedy by putting us together in the triple room at the cost we could have easily stayed in Silla Hotel equivalent.
The breakfast was rather meagre, the stale toast bread, rock hard mini croissants, water drenched salad and the only fruit of some sorts were either mushy or yet to be defrosted. We soon realised that we were surrounded by savvy travellers/hotel residents who brought bags of bakery goods from nearby shops to supplement the goodness-lacking breakfast.
Overall, highlight was the location since we complimented the lacking experience in the hotel with the grand tour of palaces and Seoul museum of Korean folk music on foot.
