HanokInn

Mrs. Kim’s hospitality was what stood out most. She was a wonderful host and cooked us the best Korean food we’d had on our whole visit. We also enjoyed chatting with her in the mornings and hope to return soon. Hanokinn was a wonderful place to stay, right in the center and within walking distance of all the sights. It was lovely to experience a traditional hanok.

The breakfast was delicious, with a chance to try different traditional Korean dishes. We had beef bulgogi, chicken and chive dumplings, tofu with seaweed, and seafood pancake. Staying in a traditional hanok was a great experience. The host told me this is the only hanok in the area built with traditional methods, using clay walls and paper windows instead of cement and glass.

Right inside the city, Hannokin is ideally placed for visiting Gyeongju and still feels perfectly calm. The place has plenty of charm, but its hosts’ personalities are what make it special. They’re warm, full of advice, and make the best breakfast in Korea!

The owners made us feel at home from the start. They gave us a few pieces of fruit to keep in the fridge for the evening, and showed us traditional musical instruments and how to play them. The garden and room were beautiful, and the place was quiet and warm, right in the center of Gyeongju. They made fresh traditional breakfast every day, and it was delicious. The dumplings were the best we’ve ever had! The owners were the most welcoming people I’ve met. I hope we get to meet again someday. This is an experience you shouldn’t miss. Thank you for everything!
