Viva La Vida - Jongno Hanok Private House

서순라길과 북촌, 익선동까지 근접해 있어 뭐 먹고 마시기에 참 좋습니다. 아늑한 한옥이라 낭만적이고 분위기 좋고 특별한 느낌이 들었습니다. 오랜만에 모기향도 피워 보고 날씨가 더워 샤워를 자주했는데 수건이 충분히 많아 좋았고 땀에 젖은 옷 매일 세탁했는데 세제 향 좋네요. 침대에서 커튼을 살짝 열면 보이는 마당이 아름다워요.

화장실과 샤워실이 본채와 분리되어 있는 것은 좀 불편하긴 합니다.

Lo stile e l atmosfera dell hanok

poco o niente

Our stay was absolutely perfect and one of the highlights of our time in Seoul. The owner contacted us in advance and provided many helpful recommendations, which made planning our trip much easier. Throughout our stay, Tony continued to share useful information and regularly checked in to see if we needed anything, making us feel genuinely welcomed and well cared for. The hanok itself is beautiful, traditional and full of character, while also offering all the modern comforts needed for a relaxing stay. The peaceful courtyard garden at the center of the property created a wonderful sense of tranquility and was the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring the city. The location is excellent, situated in a quiet residential neighborhood while still being close to many of Seoul’s main attractions, great restaurants, and convenient subway stations. It offered the perfect balance between experiencing local life and having easy access to everything the city has to offer. We would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic, comfortable, and memorable stay in Seoul!

It’s located in a relatively quiet area. And I really like the fact that the whole house was for ourselves.

It’s quite small. I’d read lots of reviews prior to and so I expected it to be small but I felt it was smaller than I imagined. The ceiling was quite low since it’s an old traditional house, there’s no proper chairs to sit down. I mean there’s a table and chairs but you need to sit on the floor. I used outside Maru to feel more comfortable. Lastly the cleanness, the cleaning lady seems to ignore cobwebs, dust on corners and closet. They really can do some serious wipe down.

All good, very beautiful

If it is your first time travelling to Seoul I believe this is one of the most special stays you could ask for. The owner has built a beautiful home and has every amenity and facility you could ask for. We checked in late at 12am, and the moment we walked in it all sprung to life, which was a lovely entrance to our trip. The location is perfect since it is close to the palaces, bukchon village, insadong and other great spots. But also not crowded and busy like the more touristy locations. And finally, the Owner has great communication and provides guides and recommendations for everything you could ask for.

We went during summer and it was very humid and hot. So the airflow made it difficult to sleep some nights. We tried all the fans in the home and even the aircon (which was only in one side of the home), but all blew just air rather than anything cold or comfortable. The only additional thing is that it can be a bit cramped for more than 2 people, or if you're taller than 6 foot.

EVERYTHING. The most well thought out space I have ever had the pleasure to stay in. I did not want to leave once I got to this tranquil paradise. (So for 24 hours I didn't) It is close to EVERYTHING. The best 3 nights EVER

Viva La Vida is such a charming accomodation! It’s a beautifully decorated traditional hanok. It is very well located, in walking distance from many of the famous Seoul locations. It has a comfortable double bed, a traditional table, a kitchen and a shower. The highlight of the apartment is the garden, which gives a moment of piece. We loved just staying there and enjoying a cup of coffee. The apartment is well equipped: it has a washing machine, hair dryer and even a curling iron. The host is very kind!

Nothing! It’s not a negativity, but people has to bear in mind that the place is small due to the traditional setting.

L’emplacement idéal. La décoration Le cachet du Hanok

Un peu à l’étroit, peu de rangement, et peu de lumière.

Lits chauffants ! L’ambiance zen, avec beaucoup d’équipements

Système d’éclairage complexe

super cozy and in a great neighborhood

it's a bit tight for two who each have a fullsize suitcase, but it works

위치가 매우 좋았고, 시설도 엄청 좋았어요! 특히 작은 연못이 너무 귀여웠어요 :)

Casa tradizionale ed ambiente molto affascinante. Cercavo esattamente qualcosa con questo mood ed atmosfera

Perfetta per una coppia o per un viaggiatore solo forse un po’ stretta per tre persone come lo eravamo noi con tante valigie

Location

Obiekt nie ma 130 metrów!!!! Oferta jest błednie opisania na bookingu - dom ma w rzeczywistości ok. 50 metrów kwadratowych i jest zbyt mały dla czterech osób. Dodatkowo pokoje oraz prysznic oddzielone są zasłonami lub roletami. Nie polecamy - na zdjęciach obiekt wygląda pięknie, a w rzeczywistości jest to mały dom, który nie daje żadnej prywatności. Sprawa zgłoszona do serwisu, natomiast właściciel oraz Booking uciekają od odpowiedzialności.

garden with complete ecosystem very comfortable bed helpful host

nothing

Such a wonderful quirky place. Right where we wanted to be. Great little touches - coffee tea etc and mozzie spray! A real find rather than the usual vanilla style hotel. Fluffy towels and robes. Fish in the pond and the sound of rain on the roof. Bathroom water pressure really good and lovely warm showers.

Storage can be a problem but you just have to think outside the box a little. Not great for large suitcases but smaller cases and soft luggage fine.

Le lit était incroyablement confortable. Le propriétaire était adorable et plein de bons conseils. Le logement est beau, authentique et offre une expérience dépaysante. Il y a en plus tout ce dont vous pourriez avoir besoin. Le petit jardin est magnifique. L'emplacement est parfait : proche des temples et à 5mn du métro. Nous avons fait beaucoup à pied. Merci beaucoup !

The hanok was in a quiet area close to cafes ,restaurants, the palaces, ikseondong and two metro stations. The decorations are nicely done and the kitchen set up was great. The courtyard was very pretty but really became unusable space due to its openness to rain, heat and mosquitoes. The host was very responsive and sent daily sightseeing options.

It is really small and not suitable for more than 2 people. We were 3 so the sitting area was converted to an extra foam bed. There was little option to actually unpack or keep luggage open. Unfortunately, the beautiful decorations and artwork took away useful floor space. The hanok living space is small, and you must be prepared to sit and sleep at ground level. Low ceiling with beams which is a challenge if you are taller than 180cm. The toilet / shower is fundamentally outside and not climate controlled or screened so it was hot and humid and had mosquitoes.

It was lovely staying at the hanok for a few days in the 2nd time we were in Seoul. The host was very attentive with suggestions on WhatsApp, including an udon recipe with the ingredients already in the fridge. The location was very convenient, in a quiet street opposite the Changdeokgung Palace, which we visited and also got tickets to the Secret Garden, which was special. The hanok was also an easy walk and metro ride to many tourist sites.

If you find compact spaces challenging, this may not be for you. Note that there’s not a lot of space for big suitcases. Similarly, if you mind crossing the little courtyard to go to the shower. These things didn’t bother us too much. Also, there are a lot of switches and it took some time to work it out, and also how to cool the space - August is hot & humid.

Le due notti passate nella casa tradizionale collocata in una posizione eccezionale sono state perfette per immergersi nell'atmosfera della Seoul tradizionale, ogni dettaglio perfettamente curato e nulla lasciato al caso, a partire dal the e gli snacks fino agli articoli da bagno. Emerge chiaramente il grande amore e cura che il proprietario ha messo nell'organizzazione dell' alloggio ed è stato disponibile per consigli e raccomandazioni. esperienza magica

The host was very friendly and the location is extremely good. It was very convenient to get around and the house in itself was very beautiful and tastefully decorated.

It's just a tad too small for three people and the bathroom is outside which was a minor inconvenience. However, the host was very kind in notifying me of probable minor issues that we may face and helped us overcome these issues.

Authenticity of the area and stay.

The bathroom setup was a little awkward, but manageable.

The ambience was amazing. It was my last night in seoul and I really wanted to stay in a guest house and this exceeded my expectations. Tony was very gracious and gave lots of attention to detail such as skin care available to use and a beautifully laid out tea ceremony. I would stay here in a heartbeat again

Location

There was some noise early in the morning from the business across the lane

The vibe in the house was really nice, it was an experience on itself. It was super cosy, there were a lot of amenities, the bed was really nice and the host Tony was really accommodating!

It is a bit on the small size for 3 adult people. So there is not a lot of room to put luggage. But I knew this beforehand so it was not a problem for us!

Everything. I was searching hanok, but a genuine one. This brought so much peace.

The design, the genuinity, a tiny garden, and how costly it turned out to be

Excellent location. Charming place, well equipped. A real immersion into traditional Korean housing, and culture! Lovely details,

The place, was very lovely! I really enjoyed the mini garden that was located in the resting area.

Hanover style

Very very small

It's just so beautiful. The garden, the tea waiting for you, everything is truly beautiful and it makes for a great atmosphere. Location is great too, close too many of the sights but also to various public transport means. Host was very friendly and sent lots of advice and information.

Location is nice and next to palaces, Insandong and Iksandong, other places. Airport bus stop is around the corner. Manny busses.

The place is small, ideal for a couple or small group, max 3, as there is not much place for luggage. For us it wasn’t a problem for two persons with one check-in and two carry-on luggages. Can be difficult for tall persons. Some fotos can be removed as they do not reflect todays situation :).

The host was very accommodating and flexible with check in times to suit our schedule. They were also very responsive to messages and ensured we had all our questions answered. Instructions were clear and helpful to our stay. The property was also well stocked and provided a very comfortable atmosphere. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The host did everything he could for our confort and for us to have a great experience. Thanks again Tony.
