Checking into Inwoohouse (인우하우스) is straightforward. The property has a simple check-in process starting at 15:00, which is great after a long journey. You’ll find the staff friendly and willing to help with any inquiries you might have during your stay.

What is the room quality and cleanliness like at Inwoohouse?

The rooms at Inwoohouse are clean and well-maintained. Each of the three rooms features a private bathroom, which adds a level of comfort you might not expect from traditional accommodations. The decor reflects traditional Korean aesthetics, giving you a genuine feel of staying in a hanok.

The house itself is about 82㎡ and located on the first floor, making it accessible for most travelers. I noticed that the communal areas are also tidy, with a laundry room available for guests needing to freshen up their clothes. This is particularly useful for longer stays or for those traveling light.

Is the location actually convenient?

Absolutely. Inwoohouse is located at 1-9, Gyedong 6-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul, placing it within walking distance of several key attractions. Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changdeokgung Palace are both nearby, along with Insadong and Samcheong-dong, popular neighborhoods for shopping and dining.

You can also find various restaurants, cafes, and convenience stores just steps away from the accommodation. The nearest subway station is Gyeongbokgung Station on Line 3, which is about a 15-minute walk — not too far if you’re up for some light exercise. Just a heads up though: if you’re relying on public transport late at night, consider check the last train times as they can be quite early.

How does the price compare to what you actually get?

Inwoohouse provides good value considering its prime location and unique setting. While prices can vary depending on the season, it’s reasonable to expect rates around ₩100,000 (about $74 USD) per night. This rate includes access to cultural activities like traditional paper crafts and knot bracelet making.

That said, keep in mind that there’s no in-room cooking available, so meals will need to be sourced from local eateries or their on-site dining options. if you want a full kitchen experience, this may feel limiting.

Who should (and shouldn’t) book this place?

This place suits travelers who appreciate culture and history. If you’re someone who enjoys immersing yourself in local traditions and doesn’t mind basic amenities, Inwoohouse is definitely worth considering.

On the flip side, those seeking luxury or modern hotel conveniences might find this accommodation lacking. There’s no parking available either; if you’re renting a car during your stay, look elsewhere. Overall, it’s ideal for budget-conscious travelers wanting an authentic Korean experience without breaking the bank.
