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.
