Bonum 1957 Hanok and Boutique

Very cool hotel! Loved the interior and exterior of the hotel. It was very fun to stay here, even for 1 night. We booked the Hanok Stay Suite for 7 people and it fit everyone comfortably. Air conditioning was nice, the heated floors in the rooms were a nice touch and bathroom was beautiful. The front desk receptionist was super nice and helpful. We asked her to reserve an airport taxi for us and we left the hotel before confirming our taxi number. Come to find out when we get back to the hotel late at night, she is standing outside our room waiting for us in the rain just to make sure we know our taxi number!! Her customer service and care was amazing and I cannot thank her enough for doing that for us.

The Hotel is very nice and comfortable. Easy to find and staff speaks english. The room was clean and had great views. The only “problem” we had is that left our umbrella outside (but still inside the hotel) because it was wet and someone (another guest) stole it. We complained at the reception desk but no solution was provided: at least they should have gave us another umbrella.

Great location, and the hotel does have a lot of potential. It is great to be able to stay in a traditional look hotel. The garden is lovely and from our room you can see the seoul tower. Unfortunately, the room is small. We do not have a lot of space to put our luggage. Housekeeping is dire. One of our cups is not cleaned, and teabags and coffee sachets are not refilled. The bathroom is of reasonable size, but the design is poor. The glass of the bath is just not long enough, and hence, when u turn on the shower, the water just drips onto the cupboard next to the bath. I have no problems if u let me know in advance that we cannot leave our pyjamas on the bed. As a result, the next day, the bed was not properly made up. This hotel also makes it clear if u stay longer than the checkout time ie 11am, they will charge you. Not sure I would recommend or come back again.
