I had an very nice stay at Stay 256 Hanok Guest House! The location was perfect, nestled in a quiet and artistic neighborhood while still being close to major attractions like Gyeongbokgung Palace. My room was warm, cozy, and impeccably clean, which made it a comfortable retreat after a long day of exploring. The only downside was the thin walls, which made it a bit noisy at times. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to experience traditional Korean hospitality. 😊🌸

My stay at Stay 256 Hanok Guest House was superb overall. The room was exceptionally comfortable and offered a wonderfully quiet atmosphere, making it a good experience sleeping in such traditional accommodations. The only minor drawback was the distance to the nearest metro station, which took about 20 minutes to walk, but taxis were readily available.
