I had booked a private room for 6 nights after reading very favorable reviews for the guesthouse & it's owners on Trip Advisor. The owners were described as kind & helpful by previous guests. Unfortunately my only brother died unexpectedly a couple of weeks ago. My whole family is devastated & I had to cancel my 3 week trip to Korea. I tried to contact the guesthouse to cancel my reservation but no one responded. I finally contacted Ctrip, the Chinese company that handles reservations for the guesthouse. They contacted the guesthouse several times on my behalf to request a refund or at least a partial refund of the money I had paid for the room ($439.00) which I could no longer use. They told me the guesthouse owners refused to refund even a partial amount of the money I paid them even though they were told my brother had died. I am really upset about the way my request was treated & I wrote this review to warn other potential guests: don't expect a refund in case of a personal emergency. R C Henry

Really Unsatisfactory Treatment By Guesthouse Owners

location : 
very close to Changdeokgung, easily access by 6011 airport bus, easy to find, close to tourist spots like Tteok ( Korean rice cake) museum, convenient stores, local restaurants are just around the corner
close to Isadong shopping area

room:
I stayed for one night with my mom in a room with private bathroom
very clean - room and bathroom
the floor was slightly warm - in mid April, I think it is very appropriate and comfortable
elegant decoration in the room
very comfortable and pretty bedding, even though we slept on the floor.  

Breakfast
- simple and nice Korean meal,  a lady was helping us. The dinning area was a bit crowded. That's all.  

A very nice experience that foreigners must at least try one night.

Nice and cosy tiny hanok

We stayed there for 2 nights. Pascal - the owner was very nice to us. He recommended some places for us to visit. We only managed to have breakfast one morning as we had to leave very early on the second morning. The breakfast was good and delicious. The second night, there was a gathering at the Hanok. It was very lively and although we spoke barely any Korean, it still felt warm and homely. It's not that near any train station though there are two stations in walkable distance. I would say that it is a bit expensive for what it is. The only reason why we picked it out of the many places available is because the room came with a private bathroom. The price is a little high for a guesthouse. Overall, it was lovely and we had a nice time there.

Warm, homely, traditional

Fantastic location close to historic attractions as well as the more modern conveniences of Jongno.  Despite being in the centre of the city the hanok was lovely and quiet - the rooms are small but fully equipped.  Owner Pascal is very friendly.  Stay here for an authentic taste of traditional Korean accommodation, and a varied Korean breakfast each morning.

Lovely, quiet and authentic hanok

Staying in MAMA was the most unforgettable thing in Seoul. Rooms were warm and the host was nice and helpful. MaMa will be my first choice if I travel Seoul again.
