Our take
Nostalgia Hanok Hotel is a hanok stay in a tranquil garden near Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung palaces, and its 9.5 rating shows how much guests value it. I should be clear that it offers a hot tub, not a swimming pool, so I would book it for the architecture and location rather than swimming. Kitchenettes and garden views make longer stays easy.
- ✓Book a room with garden views to fully appreciate the tranquil setting.
- ✓Take advantage of the hot tub in the evening for a relaxing end to your day.
- ✓Explore the nearby palaces and shrines on foot to soak in the historical ambiance.
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe swapped a tower hotel for the Nostalgia Hanok Hotel on our second Seoul trip and finally understood the hanok appeal. Evenings meant the garden hot tub under those curved eaves, mornings meant coffee from the kitchenette before walking to Gyeongbokgung ahead of the crowds. It is intimate rather than grand: few rooms, garden views, real quiet. Families wanting a big pool should look elsewhere, but for couples chasing atmosphere near Changdeokgung, nothing in the city matches it.
