한옥인데도 매트리스가 있다는 점, 화장실이 따뜻한 점도 좋았습니다. 다만 모든 방에 화장실이 달린 건 아니라고 하니 예약할 때 확인하고 하시면 좋으실 듯~ It was a great stay at Stay 256. Very convenient location to visit the palace and nearby galleries and museums (strongly recommend MMCA). Clean and warm even for Hanok. The owner was very kind to offer a bigger room for free as it was available for the night. Thank you again!!

초저녁엔 조용한데 늦은 밤에는 외국인 관광객들 들어오면서 조금 소란했어요! 전반적으로 깔끔하지만 침구에 먼지가 눈에 띄게 많이 붙어있어서 조금 신경쓰였어용!

Clean and fun to experience!

I recommend staying at a traditional hanok if you ever visit Seoul for an authentic experience. Stay256 was cozy and clean, with friendly staff who spoke perfect English. It's located in the heart of the Bukchon area, with a nearby shuttle that takes you to the closest metro point (otherwise a 15 min walk). The only downside was that we went during autumn / winter, so the heating was cranked up high. During the day, it was really cozy, but with little air circulation, it got really sweaty and hot in the middle of the night.

居心地良い宿です

新しく綺麗で、何より場所が三清洞ど真ん中でとても良いです‼️ 部屋は狭くダブルの部屋でもひとりでも狭く感じました。テレビ、歯ブラシはありません。でもコンセントがUSBも対応のものになっており、布団も寝心地良く家具などもかわいく、エアコン付き&寒い日はオンドルもついてとても居心地が良かったです。共同のリビングとキッチンがあり、朝食はセルフでキッチンのものをご自由にどうぞスタイル。これまた気楽で良かったです。ちなみに私バスルーム付きの部屋に滞在しましたがバスルームも清潔でした。 英語が堪能な男の子が親切に対応してくれます。又機会があれば泊まりたいです。

Such a lovely and unique experience to stay in this traditional hanok. The location was fantastic, the pricing was great and the host was so helpful and nice! Definitely recommend for those who don't want to stay in a boring, generic hotel and would rather have a more cozy, authentic experience while in Seoul.

편안한 한옥집~

욕실이 표함된 방이었고. 욕실이 생각보다 많이 작아서 당황스러웠던 기억이~ 하지만 2일 지내다보니 적응이 됐고~ 방이나 욕실이 깨끗했고 매트리스도 푹신푹신해서 편하고 잠도 잘왔습니다~ 예전에 살던 한옥집이 생각 나기도 해서 너무 좋았어요~ 2일동안 조식 잘 챙겨먹었고. 제가 마지막날 체크아웃 늦었는데 너무 죄송했고. 너그럽게 이해해주신 사장님~ 많은 얘기를 나누진 못했지만 친절하게 대해주셔서 정말 감사합니다~ 좋은 숙소에서 엄마와 좋은 추억을 만들었고~ 좋은 결실도 맺게 되어 기쁩니다~^^ 감사합니다~

This property is a renovated Hanok, it still has a traditional layout with a central courtyard in all the rooms facing the courtyard, but has been upgraded. All the rooms have their own air-conditioning, there are three shared bathrooms, and there is a kitchen that is open 24 seven as needed. The gentleman managing this property, Speaks English very well, and is very helpful. I would highly recommend staying here again.

We stayed in 4 different places during our 10 visit to South Korea and this was our favorite. It is a great central location for visiting Bukchon. Palaces, subway station, and dining are all in walking distance. The owner was amazing, so friendly and helpful. He was educated in the US, so his english was perfect. This was great for us, because he spent a lot of time with us answering questions about everything from Korean culture to where to eat. Our room was spotless, the common areas were lovely and the linens and towels were top notch. Stay here!

有特色且舒服的住宿

Stay256是老韓屋改造成的民宿，非常具有傳統韓國文化風情，年輕老闆Hyun十分親切，見面時總能聊上幾句，也給了我們一下附近店家的建議。我們住的含衛浴兩人房，雖然空間不甚大，但是簡單的佈置和清爽的空間，住起來是舒服的。民宿所在的三清洞充滿質感店家，是個人十分喜愛的區域。

11月下旬の宿泊だったので、部屋やお風呂が寒いかもしれないと思っていたのですが、シャワーも床暖、部屋も床暖、中庭を通る時だけ外なので寒いのですが、全然苦になりませんでした。画像通りの綺麗で快適でした。アドバイスは、部屋のティッシュは、固めだったので柔らかい物を持っていった方が良いくらいです。対応は、常におられる20代の英語の喋れる韓国の男性でした。タクシーを呼んでくれたり、お客様のお子様がはしゃいでる時は、さっと耳栓を持ってきてくれたり、気さくで素敵な方でした。
