A very cozy and value for money accommodation in the heart of Daegu with excellent, 5 star level service from the staff. Located walking distance from Seomun Market station, cozy cafés in the neighbouring hanoks, and decently close to downtown Daegu. By Daegu standards, the location of this hanok is pretty sweet as it is fairly close to both public transport as well as cafes and restaurants. The best thing about this hanok however is its service. Irene is a very friendly, and fluent English speaking staff whom gave us plenty of recommendations on where to get public transport, eat and visit in Daegu as well as nearby Gyeongju and Busan. She even provided us with her contact number and allowed us to contact her if we faced any difficulties whilst travelling in Korea. She made our stay highly memorable and pleasant, especially by going the distance to order Korean fried chicken for us at 10.30pm. It's not a boutique hotel so don't expect very grand amenities. However if you are looking for a traditional yet comfortable hanok stay in a city which is close to nearby Gyeongju, Busan, Haien-sa and Andong; this place is honestly a pretty sweet deal. Accommodation in Daegu is pricey and of low standard compared to Seoul, Busan, and Daegu. If you are adventurous and looking for a memorable traditional experience however, look no further. This hanok is equipped with modern amenities like a modern shower and toilet (albeit shared bathroom), and a well stocked pantry with toast, cup ramen, and tea which you can raid at anytime. Room is air conditioned and cozy. It's not a 5 star hotel but it will leave you 100% satisfied and comfortable.

Nous sommes restées sur Daegu 2 nuits. Une fois sorties du métro, nous avons facilement trouver la guesthouse au bout d’une petite ruelle adorable. Une fois la porte passée, nous sommes dans un autre temps. L’hôte parle anglais parfaitement, ce qui est pratique et nous montre notre chambre. Attention toutefois, soyez sûrs de vous si vous voulez restés quelques nuits dans une hanok. En effet, nous dormons sur des futons, donc quasiment à même le sol, la chambre est minuscule, et le réseau wifi pas terrible et la salle de bain/toilettes sont à part. Le confort n’est pas extra mais en dormant dans une hanok, je savais à quoi m’en tenir. Le personnel est adorable, la cuisine accessible à toute heure. L’endroit est très bien situé près du Seomun Market et du métro. Le rapport qualité/prix est bien également. Je vous recommande vivement cette guesthouse, si et seulement le grand confort et la fonctionnalité ne sont pas vitaux pour vous. Idéal pour 2 nuits.

We stayed 2 nights here in a very small Hanok. It was comfortable with underfloor heating, AC, towels and bed sheets for floor sleeping. It was big enough to fit 2 people plus 2 suitcases if you can imagine. The toilet and shower are in a separate hut, so sort of like camping. Staff were very friendly, and offered us a Korean breakfast as a welcome. Overall we were very happy with our stay! It is close to Seomum and Banwoldang stations by walking. Quiet and clean. The coffee shop Romance Papa is worth visiting nearby.

Travel date: September 29 to October 1, 2017. Room: ChinMokDang 친목당--> suitable for two persons Price: KRW 44,000 per night Stay: 3D/2N Room facilities: Airconditioned room, with Ondol (floor heater), bottled water, blow dryer, comforter, pillows, strong wi-fi signal Accessibility: 1. Take the subway from Dongdaegu Station to Banwoldang Station. 2. Take exit 18. It's 896m walk from Banwoldang station. 3. Walk straight until 미스소아과의원 /Miss Pediatrician <rough translation of the name of the building> 4. Turn right when you see 미스소아과의원. 5. Walk straight until you see a Catholic Church (천주교계산교회). 6. Cross the pedestrian lane in front of the Catholic Church. 7. Walk past a 7-eleven hill until you see an alley with a Hanok painting on the wall. 8. Enter the alley and follow the sign going towards Guam Seowon Hanok Guest House. If you want to experience a traditional Korean hanok stay, I recommend Old Guamseowan Hanok Guest House. It is located in the heart of the city. It's a 14-minute walk to the subway station. There bus stations, traditional cafe and restaurants nearby. Old Guamseowon also offers cultural activities for the visitors. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. I had a nice sleep :) I enjoyed playing traditional Korean games. GuamSeowon Hanok Guesthouse is a place of relaxation, culture, tradition and history! Here's a historical fact which you will see in front of the Old Guamseowon: Guamseowon was established as the family Confucian Academy of the Dalseong Seo Clan. Initially, a shrine called, Sunghyeonsa, was built in 1665 (the 6th year of the reign of King Hyeonjong of the Joseon Dynasty) on Yeongusan Mountain near Daegu Elementary School to honour the memory of Seo Chim, who as a renowned civil official of the early Joeseon Period. In 1718 (the 44th year of King Sukhon's reign), the shrine was moved to Dongsan-dong, and three more scholars, Seo Geo-jeong, Seo Seong, and Seo Hae, were additionally enshrined in this shrine. The shrine was promoted to its status as being made a Confucian Academy in 1778 (the 2nd year of King Jeongjo's reign), and other buildings including Gyeongnyejae and Nuhakjae were built in 1788. In 1868, the Confucian Academy was demolished under the command of Prince Regent Heungseon, but it was restored in 1924 with the support of local Confucian scholars. Sunghyeonsa Shrine and the lecture hall were rebuilt in 1943. However, members of the Dalseong Seo Clan decided to move Guamseowon because the nearby area went through rapid urbanization and was regarded as an improper site for a Confucian Academy. Therefore, Guamseowon was relocated to the vicinity of Yeonam Park in Sangyeok-dong, Buk-gu in 1996. Only Sunghyeonsa Shrine (Daegu Cultural Heritage Material No. 2), a memorial stone, and a monument house were moved to the current location, but the entrance named Gyeongangmun, a lecture hall, and Jesucheong (a building for preparing ritual food) remained at the former site of the Confucian Academy.
