4 buddies grab a room for a 10-day Olympic stay and were so thankful that the best part of their stay in Korea was this Hanok.  Host Nam Kyu Lee is truly a great host and a wonderful person.  We had the good fortune to get a ride from Nam to Seoul Station or otherwise he contacted a taxi to fetch us from this beautiful hillside location in Bukchon, which is about 4 blocks from the S. Korea "Blue (White) House" and one of the cool comfortable and a little Euro section of Seoul.  It's off the usual hectic pace of the rest of the city and a nice respite each night and day.  We enjoyed walking the hillside streets of the Bukchon district.  The breakfast is tasty: sausage, egg, coffee, fresh juice, fresh fruit, toast, w/jam butter or cream cheese and you can enjoy it in your room or similarly on the floor of the adjacent breakfast room.  No shoes in the rooms please.  Love the hazelnut coffee and I don't usually like flavored coffees, but everything from the food to the hospitality is exquisite.  I brought no toiletries on my trip because I knew that most hotels or inns provided such things in Japan and Korea.  There are adequate supplies for showering. The Hanok traditional inn in Korea is a must do experience, unless you are not a floor sleeper at all so be aware that you will enjoy a sleep on a warm heated floor emulating the traditional Korean home, and a comfortable futon with pillow and comforter.  Best sleep I've had in 10 years, ok, just best sleep!  The private restroom is all inclusive which means you shower and use the restroom in one room off of your traditional wooden floored room.  This is something I was very familiar with from my years in Japan, and the Korean Hanok does it very nicely in my opinion.  The breakfast room is off of the traditional courtyard which allows you to step out of your room for some air, although there are wonderful sliding doors and windows to give fresh air to the room.  We had some storage area for our clothes and there is a key for security to the room and the front door to the lodging is always locked with the same key.  On the corner is a little snack/liquor shop, about 10 square feet which is run by an older woman who actually speaks a little English probably from the old days.  Try the Cass beer and a tasty snack, or get some water or juice, but in any event, how convenient, and a relic from the old style Seoul where small shops prevailed.  You'll love the location, the area is very safe and there is a police substation about 2 blocks away, basically for the affluent residents and inns of the area.  If you decide to hike up to the hotel after dinner you will get some good cardio and quad work in each day, otherwise the taxi drivers will be happy to drop you off right in front despite the winding terrain.  Find the secret staircase to descend to the restaurant and coffeehouse district which is along the outer rim road overlooking Bukchon and you will save some time, but watch your step!  Finally, if you forget anything for your trip there is a 24 hour EMart down on the main road about 10 minutes walk.
