Below expectations
We booked a family room at Hysundang Guesthouse on Xmas eve as everywhere within our price range was fully booked out. The accomodation was unfortunately not what we expected. We thought it would be like a Japanese Ryokan and that we will get a unique traditional korean experience for the expensive price we paid but no, it was more like a backpackers. Mattresses were thin and the pillows were hard. More like a small beanbag than a pillow. The toilet/shower was shared with other guests which was rather unpleasant and inconvenient as the other guests hogged the bathroom. Breakfast was very basic korean fare.Our room was just next to the kitchen. The walls were literally paper thin. We could hear the manager scolding the kitchen staff.The nights were however relatively quiet but we could still hear the people in the next room. We only stayed a night and moved on to a family suite at the Ramada for the rest of our stay in Seoul. The rate at the Ramada was about the same as that at Hysundang.So it was definitely not value for money. The location however was fantastic. Its near Anguk station with lots of restaurants and within walking distance to the palace.

nice experience on Hanok stay
It was fairly easy to find. From Anguk Station, exit 3, you'll find McDonald right away. Follow the road, a minute on your right there's another road beside the small shop and you'll find it. However, I think the reception is not there. I arrived very late around 9.30 pm, and when I rang the door, a very old couple let me in but they didn't know about my reservation. Lucky I he speak Japanese so I was able to communicate with him. He called the person in charge which is his daughter, and she come right away. The room was small but clean, the bathroom is outside but clean. She showed me how to lock my room, and gave me a set of key. I can go out and come in anytime I want but the neighborhood itself wasn't that happening that I just stay there and rest. The breakfast is Korean style and it was good.

Very new and clean
Both of us enjoyed our stay in hyosundang. We checked in the main house and was directed to another branch few steps away. They have 3 branches and ours is the one in the middle. It's very new compared to the main house and very clean too. Toilets, kitchen all v clean and new. The breakfast is bibimbab and can be made vegetarian. It's very delicious and the serving is good. The owners are very helpful and made us feel very welcomed. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and will definitely choose hyosundang if I come korea again.

Good location but a lot of "house rules"
I've traveled to many places but this is my first review here because I feel the need to warn people. Just came back from a 2 nights stay in this guesthouse. Location is very strategic with many attractions nearby and Anguk station is just 5 mins walks away. Price wise is not cheap for such small room with no attached bathroom. The owner has a few guesthouses and we stayed at #25. There are 4 rooms altogether. We took the 2 3 pax room. There are 2 shared bathrooms so you may have to wait quite a bit if there are many guests at that time. Air-cond in the room and hairdryer is available too which is good for the ladies. Simple breakfast is included. Owner can't speak good English and stays somewhere else. What me and other guests are unhappy about this place is that the owner is quite rude with many house rules. He'll scold people out of a sudden though the guests don't know the rules before hand. He even scolded the helper every morning. Pretty much scared the other guests who are all ladies and children. Leave a bad taste at the end of our trip as this is our last accommodation in Seoul.

Convenient for Sightseeing in the Bukchon area
Overall, the location of this place cannot be beat. Even though it is relatively harder to find (you have to turn right at the first small alley), it is really close to the subway station and close to lots of sights in the Bukchon area and it has good restaurants nearby. The traditional Korean home style is not the most comfortable compared with the typical hotels as you have to sleep on the floor (with blankets) and share bathrooms (only 2 available). There is no TV in the room and the room is quite tiny. However, I would say staying in such type of place is mostly for the experience--for its ambiance and close vicinity to the Bukchon area. Plus the host is very nice--when they learned that my kids were not particularly interested in Korean-style breakfast, they prepared American style breakfast (milk, juice, and toast) the next morning instead. I would recommend it for first-timers to Korea to try it out.

옛스런 한옥집
아이들과 한옥체험을 위해 서울 인사동근처 한옥 마을로 숙소를 찾던중 예약한 시설입니다. 침구부터 옛스러운 분위기가 아주 만족스러웠고 숙소내부도 예전 한옥집 분위기여서 좋았습니다. 방도 아주 따뜻했습니다. 아침식사도 할머니께서 정성스럽게 차려주셨구요 온수도 콸콸 나와 샤워하는것도 좋았습니다. 다만 예전 한옥집이다보니 옆방 손님이 새벽에 들락날락하는 것은 조금 신경쓰였습니다만 조금만 조심스럽게 다니고 서로 이해해준다면 좋을거 같습니다. 전반적으로 아주 만족스러운 경험이였습니다. 제생에 2018년 마무리 가족여행으로 최고였습니다.

交通很方便的韓屋
這間韓屋為至於仁寺洞地鐵站附近，而且巷口就有往機場巴士的站牌，交通十分方便。韓屋的男主人可以用英文溝通，人也頗為親切。我們只有2人，但住的是3人房，所以住起來部會太擁擠。因為我們是跟韓屋的一家人住在一起，但不同房間，衛浴共用，但是打掃得很乾淨。他們很早就睡了，所以回來要小聲一點，以免吵到他們。

該旅店的工作人員不會講英語，該傳統韓屋免費取消是7天前(依我的案例是7/4是最後取消日)，因颱風緣故，出發前一天7/7才被通知飛機停飛，已經錯過取消的機會，但是到韓國後的行程，我是預定7/11才會入住，請HOTELS客服打電話去通知旅店，旅店沒有人會講英語，從7/7-7/24號，大約請HOTELS打了5-8通電話，也請HOTELS寄送電子信件跟停飛證明，一直沒有人可以回覆我的爭取，直到今天7/25終於有一位積極的客服人員，幫我請會講韓語的同事打電話去，已經過了那麼多天，詢問的答案當然是不能退費或改日期，我也心裡有數，也是自認損失，沒有關係，但是傳統韓屋沒有人會講英文，7天前才算免費取消，算是旅行中有可能造成困擾的因素，要入住的人請依自己的情況斟酌旅程。

一度は体験したかった
毎年語学サークルのメンバーと韓国に来ていて、一度はハノクに泊まってみたいという希望があり宿泊。交通面に関しては最高。リムジン乗り場も駅もすぐ近く。それだけでも十分利用価値はあるが、プラス韓国の文化に触れられたのがよかった。けれど、一度利用したので次回のリピは恐らく無いと思う。やはりシティホテルに勝る快適さはなく。元々床に座る生活をしていないので寛げないのと、シャワーやトイレが使いにくすぎた。朝食はハルモニが美味しいピビンバを毎朝出してくれ楽しみだった。部屋の掃除に関しては、3日間の滞在中一度もされなかった。ゲストハウスは部屋の掃除もセルフなんだろうか？まあでも貴重な体験だった事は間違いないです。

special, traditional,convenient,nice hostess
It is just 1 minute walk from Anguk Station to the hotel. And it is not far from many scenic spots by feet. The hostess is very kind and the room is very clean. As a traditional building, the room is a little small but is reasonable. In the morning, the hostess will offer the traditional Korean breakfast and wake up us to enjoy the morning. I think passengers should go to experience this kind of accommodation at least once.

韓国の伝統的なスタイルの建物に宿泊でき、食事もついていますしオーナーの方も親切でした。 ですが、やはりこういうスタイルゆえの不便さも感じ…。例えば、トイレ兼バスルームが狭く、部屋によっては一度外に出る必要があります。 そういうリアルさも楽しめる方なら、周辺も伝統文化たっぷりなエリアですしとても満足できると思います。ただ快適さだけを求めるなら同じ値段で他のところに泊まったほうが良いかなという印象です。

Interesting, but not for more than a few nights
Interesting to experience an exotic stay at a Hanok homestay, but would not recommend it for more than some nigths. We stayed for a whole week, and it took some time to get used to the ultra-hard futon beds (which we were totally not used to). The rooms were locked when we were out, so no cleaning as long as we had stuff in the room. All in all, if you don\t mind sleeping on a hard futon bed on the floor, can eat Korean breakfast, and like to experience something different, then I would recommend this. Nice smiling staff, generally very clean in the bathrooms and very central, just around the corner from Anguk station and Insadong.
