Hyehwa 1937 (Hanok), a traditional Korean house built in 1937

An old Hanok house located on a hill leading to the fortress that protects Hanyang, the old capital of Seoul.

It maintains the traditional look while adding a modern look to it.

For the convenience of modern people, OTT services are provided and free Wi-Fi, various safety devices and medical supplies are provided.

You can reach Seoul's major tourist attractions, Dongdaemun, Hongdae, Gwanghwamun, Bukchon, and Myeongdong, in about 10 minutes, and the nearest station is a 3-minute walk.

The accommodation is located on the Naksan trekking trail leading to Naksan National Park, providing you with a view of the old fortress wall as well as the neighborhood of old Seoul.

Lovely hanok next to Naksam Park. Simple and clean. Only downside was the height if the doorway to the main bedroom (if you are tall!) Hill up to house is strenous and not do-able by cab. Take Minho up on his offer to pick up your luggage. An rnjoyable stay in an an of Seoul I would not have thought to stay in. Close to subway and food. Must visit - Achemi Vegan ice cream on the main rd.
