Amazing experience, friendly english speaking staff and so helpful. Hair was done so well and I felt like a princess. They made sure my hanbok fit correctly and was the right size. Great price!

The front desk clerk wasn’t very helpful and didn’t look happy to help us. The ladies who helped us dressed up and did our hair were very helpful.

Great palace Well preserved It retains some of its splendor. The recommended Cancio de Guàrdia. The fabulous and very large gardens Although they have largely disappeared with the wars and invasions of neighbouring countries

I rented a hanbok from Hanboknam Changdeokgung branch on Tuesday 31 Oct. The store had a good selection and the young woman assigned to assist me was very helpful and kind. The manager of the store however was something else. When I came back to the store, I opened my locker and went to change up. When I came out a few minutes later, my locker was locked and the key on my locker door was gone. So I told the manager that one of her customers must have taken the key and used the locker. She didn’t bother to listen to me and talked over me and insisted I pay for the “lost” key. I tried again to explain to her that I did not lose the key as I had opened it to get my clothes out but to no avail. One of her staff tried to explain to her but she told her off and then a Korean customer tried to help me by explaining to the manager. She retorted “How do I know the customer would return to open the locker?”. I gave up and paid her 10,000 KRW as she refused to give me back my ID unless I pay her. It was a very bad experience. She is not fit to be a manager as she treats her customers with not just disrespect but disdain.
Good experience
