Fun in a traditional hanbok

5.00I had so much fun dressing up in a traditional hanbok and visit the palace. So many beautiful hanboks and hairstyles to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Hot garbage

1.00No one helps you dress - it’s like being cattle and expected to know what size will work and it’s a madhouse. Not nearly enough staff and not attentive, even had issues using our Viator booking. If you are an XL in women’s sizes (USA) or larger, this is not the place for us.

5.00This location is very accessible - right at a train stop. There are a lot of Hanbok rental location in this area - we got a little turned around but found it without too much trouble. If you book your Hanbok on an app they don’t normally work with, a little patience is required as their standard check in doesn’t work. However, the staff is extremely helpful and friendly. They walked us through everything and were kind and understanding. I wanted to change my skirt to a different style after I was dressed and they didn’t mind at all. They do check carefully to ensure you select only items in the range you paid for. The walk to the palace is maybe 10 minutes and is easy. The palace is a beautiful place to wander and take pictures. We loved our experience and would do it again.

4.00It was a bit chaotic at first because our voucher didn’t work, but we were eventually able to find someone to help us out. Once everything got sorted, the staff were incredibly helpful and made the experience much smoother. They had everything you could need—accessories, styling, and even storage. The hanboks were super cute! It was a little challenging to find options for larger sizes at first, but the staff did their best to assist us and helped us find something that worked. Overall, a positive experience.

Bribes for 5 star reviews

1.00Chaotic, they bribe for 5 star reviews in return for upgrades and freebies. Better in earlier/later hours, but peak hours leave you queueing for nothing (I got to the front of the hair queue only to be told the hairstyle I want was another queue), rushed attendance, mislabelled clothes (short hanboks in tall sections etc., and the assistants will refuse any skirts that don't fit you)
Great experience and perfekt service

4.00I highly recommend reserving the hanbok before hand. I was basically the first customer in 9 am and therefore everything went smoothly.
