On my recent business trip to Seoul, I chose to stay at Hanok Hotel Daam (Anguk, Seoul) near Anguk Station. Not only was it convenient for work, but it also gave me the perfect chance to explore the city during my stay.

While the closest station is Anguk Station (Line 3), I decided to get off at Jongno 3-ga Station and take a leisurely walk through Ikseon-dong. It had been a while since I strolled along Seoseon-ra-gil, and as soon as I caught sight of Changdeokgung Palace, I knew I was close to the hotel.

From the moment I stepped through the entrance of Hanok Hotel Daam, I could feel the charm of a traditional Korean hanok, with a modern twist.

The highlight? Bifold doors open up to a serene front patio area, perfect for enjoying fresh air when the weather is nice. The hotel’s design balances both modern comforts and traditional aesthetics, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.

A small yet tranquil bamboo garden added to the peaceful vibe, making me feel instantly at ease despite being in the bustling city center.

All guests can enjoy a complimentary breakfast on the first floor, and with plenty of tables available, it’s easy to find a quiet spot to savor a leisurely morning meal.

I booked a Super Single Shared Room (similar to a capsule hotel) and spent my evening either working on my laptop or relaxing in the lobby lounge. It was surprisingly peaceful and much more pleasant than I had expected.

Booking online made the check-in process quick and easy. Plus, the hotel offers complimentary breakfast and laundry facilities, huge perks for any traveler. The staff also provided clear English instructions, making it a popular choice for international tourists.

The shared rooms are on the 2nd and 3rd floors:

• 2nd floor: Women-only shared rooms
• 3rd floor: Divided into two sections, one for men and one for women

There are three types of single shared rooms available, depending on the bed size: Standard Single, Super Single, and Premium Single.

The hotel also offers double rooms, though they don’t allow mixed-gender guests in the same room. For those who prefer privacy, the 5th and 6th floors have private rooms that can accommodate up to three people.

My room was on the 3rd floor in the men’s section, where a long hallway splits into two areas, one for men and one for women.

Having stayed in shared rooms during my overseas trips, I found this experience quite comfortable. The room was even more spacious than expected, which was a pleasant surprise.

A high-quality latex mattress ensured a restful night’s sleep, and the room provided bath amenities, bathrobes, earplugs, and bottled water. Despite the compact space, they thoughtfully included hangers, mirrors, and slippers.

Charging devices was easy with plenty of outlets and USB ports available. There was also a garbage can, a space for slippers, and a personal safe under the bed.

The hotel’s clear instructions in both Korean and English made everything easy to navigate, even for first-time visitors.

While some may feel hesitant about shared accommodations, this is an excellent option for solo travelers looking for affordable stays.

The shared bathroom was spotless, with a shower area on the right and a toilet on the left. Hairdryers were provided under the sink, and a washing machine was conveniently located next to the bathroom for guests to use.

Breakfast (07:00 - 10:00)

One of the main reasons I chose Hanok Hotel Daam was the complimentary breakfast. Whether I’m traveling for work or leisure, I always enjoy having breakfast on the go, and having it included is a huge bonus!

For breakfast, you will find everything you need: bread, rice, cereal, fried eggs, grilled mushrooms and veggies with butter, strawberry jam, salad, and more.

Enjoying a hearty breakfast in the peaceful ambiance of a hanok courtyard was the perfect way to start my day.

Hanok Hotel Daam is a budget-friendly shared-room hotel (guesthouse) near Anguk Station that offers everything a traveler could need from comfort and cleanliness to convenience and charm.
