- Junko (9/5): - スタッフの方の気遣いが感じられて、快適に過ごせました。街中ですが、とても静かです。 二階のシャワーを使ったところ、シャワーカーテンが短くて、トイレが濡れてしまうこと。
バスタオルしか無かったので、ハンドタオルもあるとよい。
- Morgane (10/5): -
- Mary (10/5): A modern take on the traditional hanok, in a great location. - I loved the location, very close to Gyeonbokung Palace and Bukvhon Hanok Village. While I did not actually meet the host, the communications and instructions were friendly and clear. Finally, the clean traditional as
Esthetic, combined with modern conveniences, delighted me - I felt I was truly in Korea. Nothing

It's very well equipped with all the necessary and modern facilities, and everything was spotlessly clean. The interior is beautifully designed with great attention to detail, which really added to the overall experience. The location is extremely strategic and convenient, so it's easy to get around and explore the city. I truly enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Seoul. Definitely a place you would feel like returning to stay again!

- Sergey (10/5): - An incredible traditional hut that also boasted modern amenities (including air conditioning, a projector, mosquito nets, portable speakers, and more). The bed was perfect (I'd especially appreciate the blankets), and watching Korean dramas at night on the project was a wonderful way to end the day. The location is within walking distance of the main historical palaces. The owner was always available and was able to prepare the room before the main check-in time, which was a great help since we were tired after a long flight. I highly recommend this accommodation. Everything was wonderful.
- Jin-Han (10/5): Warmest House! - I had the pleasure of staying at Seoul Ari once again, and it was just as perfect and comfortable as before. I truly appreciate the owner’s responsiveness and warm hospitality.

Le confort et la propreté génial également.
Rien a dire franchement nous reviendront volontié !

- YYJJ (10/5): 안국역 조용하고 깨끗한 숙소 추천!! - 처음 들어가자마자 들리는 좋은 음악과 향기에 기분이 좋았고, 정성 가득한 손편지와 핸드크림까지 너무 감동이었습니다🥹 숙소 청결도에 굉장히 예민한 편인데, 식기나 침구 상태까지 매우 훌륭했습니다. 모든 사소한 부분에서 사장님의 센스를 엿볼 수 있었어요! 지금처럼만 유지해주세요.. 재방문 의사 너무너무 있습니다🫶🏻
앞 쪽 건물 공사만 빨리 끝났으면 좋겠네요 😂
- Jonathan (10/5): The place to be à Séoul – réservez vite, c’est exceptionnel !! - C’est LE bon plan pour découvrir Séoul, et de loin le meilleur ! L’emplacement est parfait, tout est pensé dans les moindres détails : de l’odeur d’ambiance aux équipements ultra pratiques. Les petites attentions des hôtes nous ont vraiment touchés, on se sent tout de suite chez soi. C’est simple : tout était génial, on n’a rien à redire. Absolument rien, tout était parfait !
- Galiya (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great! I highly recommend this place to stay ☺️
- Lanny (10/5): Exceptional - Perfection!! From the location, across the street from the palace. Easy check in, welcome soothing music and scent. The place is immaculate, every details are thought carefully. Would come back again and will recommend friends and family.
- Nissie256 (10/5): Exceptional - It was a really wonderful stay. Thank you.
- Winnifred (10/5): Simply amazing! Loved the inside and outside of Seoul Ari! - Prefect! Superb stay and we thank Seoul Ari for giving us a most memorable and comfortable stay in Seoul. Very thoughtful setup of the house for a relaxed mood. Situated in a good part of the neighbourhood with pretty sights and superb cafes to explore. Absolutely nothing at all.
- Rakshya (10/5): This stay was highlight of our trip. We are so happy we decided to spend a night at this hanok. - Such a well designed Hanok with all the facilities that you need for your family! I loved everything about this property, from the warm welcome to the design, the location and the cleanliness and thoughtfulness the host put throughout the property.
- Nguyễn (10/5): Exploring Korea - We love the tradition style of the house and the accommodations were modern subtle to not take away from the design of the house. In addition, there was heavy rain and thunderstorm that cut some power from the house. We appreciated that EY Choi was so efficient in checking on us to make sure we were safe and sending staff to help fix issues that the power outage had cause. Moreover, they were so accommodating and kind to send us food in apologies for the inconvenience that the power outage had caused to our stay. We love this spot and could not recommend more to those who want to stay more in a local area by the palace. There was nothing that I didn’t like.
- Sebastian (10/5): Fab location, quiet, beautifully designed, very clean and homey - Beautifully designed with lots of love for detail. The choice of materials etc is stunning.
The house is in impeccable condition and maintenance.
Very conveniently located in the jewelers district with lots of restaurants and bars around. Though the house is in a quiet side street :)
Airport bus 6011 is within 5 mins walk. That we disintegrate get to stay longer.
- Natasha (10/5): Best stay in the heart of Seoul - The location is fantastic. Close to the palaces and in an area where you can learn about the history of Korea.
The owner made a great effort to create a calm and relaxing space.
She went above and beyond to help us stay comfortable when my friend was injured. I can't express how great it was to have such a beautifully curated space to stay in.
I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to stay in a hanok.
There were also some really cute neighbourhood cats in the area, which was a plus. No complaints about the property, it was perfect. There was construction across the road, but the owner was very proactive and gave us information regarding the works, which really helped us
- Kelly (10/5): Exceptional - Its a very nice and beautiful place! So cozy and extremely clean, everything smell very nice! The location is really good as well, near all the subway station and bus stand, walk distance to Ikseondeong cafe and restaurants, also the changdeokgung palace. The facilities super complete too. Thank you for having us! Will definitely be back here 😊
- Richard (10/5): Such a special place! - What a beautiful home - can’t wait to come back!
- Andrey (10/5): Excellent place in the heart of Seoul - A perfect and convenient location in Central City, Seoul.
I have just finished a lovely vacation and had stayed at this stay.
I’m always looking for authentic, unique and special places to stay in Korean. This stay is lovely scenery and luxurious Korean inn with wooden outer panels, traditional Korean architecture and decor, minimal furnishings, guest slippers that come off at the entrance.
It is located west of Jongmyo Shrine, Seosulla-gil Stonewall Walkway has recently been rising in popularity. The walkway is lined with unique cafes, restaurants, convenience store and workshops, and branches spread above the walls for a natural blend.
Would definitely come again!! None
- 순옥 (10/5): Perfect example of Korean Traditional House. - The stay was excellent, everything was smooth and gorgeous in heart of Seoul.
I considered some special places to stay, such as sleeping in a traditional Hanok Village in Seoul. Then I finally selected this stay considering prime location in central of Seoul and transportation and convenient access to shopping in Insa dong and dining nearby Iksun-dong.
No doubtful that the room & facility had awesome atmosphere, super clean and an impressive combined design between traditional and modern. Also, the detailed guidebook for guest was useful for me to use all devices in the house.
In addition, all round this area are some really great cafés, traditional restaurant & bar, etc.
It was definitely a unique experience and I would love to introduce all concerned to be here next time.
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional Stay - After booking on Booking.com, I promptly received a detailed message from the owner outlining the room details, check-in process, and available facilities—a fantastic first impression!
To reach the accommodation, I took the Airport Bus directly to Changdeokgung Palace in central Seoul, close to other palaces and traditional Hanok villages. The bus ride was about an hour, followed by a 10-minute walk to the accommodation. Alternatively, you can take the subway from Incheon International Airport to Seoul station and from there take line no. 3 to Anguk station exit 4 followed by a 10 minutes walk as well to the stay.
Staying in a traditional Hanok village in the heart of Seoul was truly unique. I chose this place for its central location and convenient transportation, and it exceeded my expectations.
Everything matched the online description perfectly. The facilities were modern yet cozy, and spotlessly clean. The hot shower had excellent water pressure, and the traditional Korean underfloor heating system (Ondol) kept the room warm and comfortable. The thick, comfortable mattresses ensured a great night’s sleep.
Overall, this was a one-of-a-kind experience, and I highly recommend this trustworthy house to anyone seeking a clean, comfortable, and uniquely Korean stay in Seoul. NA
- Jin-han (10/5): Unique & Exceptional 2nd Floor Korean Traditional Accommodation - I stayed one(1) night with my family, pleasant stay at Seoulari. It was very impressed to stay Korean Traditional House (i.e. Hanok) and this accommodation atmosphere is beyond my initial expectation.
When I entered into Seoulari, the ambient music welcomed me and the warm space made me feel happier, more relaxed. Particularly, it is pretty exceptional 2nd Floor Korean House.
The location is also very close to Korean Cultural Heritages (e.g. Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palase, Jongmyo, etc.) and Hot Spots (e.g. Insadong, Myeondong, Bukchon, Onion Cafe, London Bagel Cafe and Dotori Garden, etc.), excellent & convenient access to Seoul Best Places.
Furthermore, I lovely enjoyed my time with my wife there and almost used all the possible facilities & equipment such as Smart TV, Beam Projector with high speed wifi and the state-of-the-art devices.
Overall it’s a memorable stay and definitely will come back when we visit Seoul in the future.😍
