Rakkojae Seoul Bukchon Hanok Village - Korean Traditional Hanok Hotel

Wunderschönes traditionelles Anwesen und tolle Lage im Zentrum des Dorfes Bukchon. Ich liebe das Gefühl, in einer lokalen Nachbarschaft zu sein. Viele Restaurants, Hanok-Häuser, Paläste, kleine Geschäfte und Cafés sowie kleine Museen sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt hier absolut genossen, aber mir ist auch klar, dass diese Art der Unterbringung nicht jedermanns Sache ist. Sie stellen Ihnen auch Hanboks zur Verfügung, die Sie auf dem Grundstück tragen können. Jeder Zentimeter des Anwesens ist malerisch und passt perfekt zum Hanbok. Das Personal ist großartig und hat viele tolle Fotos für uns gemacht. Bei unserem ersten Besuch hatten wir auf dem Weg zurück zum Abendessen ein kleines Problem mit dem Torschlüssel. Es regnete in Strömen und der Notfallkontakt sprach nur wenig Englisch. Wie sich herausstellte, muss man zuerst das Tastenfeld berühren. Es wäre für die Gäste vielleicht von Vorteil, wenn es in der Nähe des Tors eine Anleitung dafür gäbe. Das Essen ist für uns gerade so in Ordnung, aber das ist kein Problem, da es in unmittelbarer Nähe viele Möglichkeiten gibt.

I had made reservations at this hotel several months ago, even after having a friend tell me the service wasnt what it used to be and the facilities were slightly worn down. I wanted to stay in a hanok. When my plans changed, I sent an email cancelling - a reply to the confirmation that the hotel sent. The hotel sends confirmations from an unmonitored email address. I am still working with the hotel to secure even a partial refund. I should have listened to my friend in the first place! Don’t book here!

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.

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。
