Raon Guest House Jongno

The hoster is really nice and friendly , he speaks perfectly English and he is available at any time for any needs The place is really comfortable and you can live the experience to sleep in a traditional Korean house The location is amazing.

It was in a great location, conveniently near Gyeongbokgung Palace and Bukchon Hanok Village. Staying at the Raon Guesthouse was like staying in one of the traditional Hanok houses we had seen. The underfloor heating was a warm welcome back from long days exploring in the early spring chill, and the host was very friendly and accommodating.

A lamp in the room would be a great addition.

The heated floors were very warm; the owner was very accommodating; the sleeping mats were comfortable. It is very close to two palaces, and the area around it has lots of hanbok rentals, restaurants, and other nice places. The location is the main selling point for this property, so I was willing to be in a stark place; however, in addition to the nice location, this is a genuinely nice hostel on it’s own. For young adventurers who are really just looking for a place to sleep after a full day, this is an ideal place.

The bathrooms were not especially convenient, and the common area was not heated.

Raon was a great place to stay and unexpectedly a great base to get around the city. Being close to the palaces and Insa-dong meant easy access to great food and art, and since it was off of Line 3, that meant easy access to Myeongdong shopping and down to Gangnam. The staff was also excellent and had umbrellas ready on a rainy day. I highly recommend Raon, especially if you want a more traditional and cultural experience!
