Mumum Guesthouse

Overall, very good experience to live like a local in a very traditional house. Very close from Angok station and thus from Bukchon village. There are many things to do and see by walking distance (palaces, bukchon, popular shopping street,...). The street itself is very cute. The inner yard (or court) of the guesthouse is picturesque. Even though the rooms were very basic and were not something you would take a picture of, it is what we expected from hanok experience. Sleeping on a small mattress on the floor was really ok. As a young person, this did not bother me at all and I enjoyed the experience. The floor was even heated and this was very comfortable during winter. The toilets may be for western standards not satisfying. Yet, I found them totally ok for Korean/Asian standards, where it is common to have the shower just above the sink/toilet. It is definitely not as clean as in a 4 stars hotel but it definitely is in line with what I saw across Korea and at my Korean friends’ houses. The owner provided enough towels for the whole stay. When staying at mumum, do not forget to visit the cute museum and library located on the exact same small street. Both are hanok-style houses and are very beautiful: [KakaoMap] 마을서재 11-9, Gyedong 2-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul http://kko.to/DuJBpJejH

Mumum guesthouse is located on a tiny street that is very very hard to find on google maps (as google maps is very inaccurate in Korea overall; google maps doesn’t show the small street where mumum is located; I recommend using “Kakao map” instead). Nevertheless, the owner was waiting for us outside to show us the way. The owner made everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The breakfast was very basic: toasts, jam, eggs, a fruit, juice, tea or coffee. There would be another fruit everyday. You should tell the owner at what time you would like breakfast and she will prepare it for you. As the owner is alone managing the guesthouse, it was a pleasure to help her wash the dishes after breakfast. I would have appreciated to have more choices of food for breakfast. Especially since we stayed 3 nights, a little bit of variation would have been nice.

Location was amazing. A great area full of atmosphere crossing over old and new Seoul. Breakfast was hand cooked by our host in the same room - simple fare which tasted delicious. Great cafes and restaurants in the street (our favourite in Seoul) outside.

toilet and bathroom was tiny - but actually had everything you need.

Very centrally located and the Hanok village is an interesting neighborhood. The heated floors were wonderful.

Very basic facilities with futons on the floor and bathroom plumbing was marginal. Bathroom not right off the room. Breakfast basic but appreciated.

This hanok is located at walking distance to the main royal palaces in South Korea. It is traditional style, heated floor, very charming. Plenty of options for food around for affordable prices.

Room was a bit small for a family of four, still ok though as it was next to the kitchen and we used the kitchen a lot. Toilet was private but not directly accessible from the room, we had to walk through the shared living room to get to the bathroom. Water leaking from the sink in the toilet was a bit annoying.

Nice bed. Warm.and clean. With breakfast cooked and prepared every morning. Delicious. Thank.you

Traditional korean house in a preserved historical architecture area, convenient, plenty food choices, not touristy

It is just located next street to Bukchon Hanok Village 5 min walk so we could get there earlier before the crowd arrives.The care taker was really good can speak simple English and cooked breakfast for us. It was early winter and with temperature at 0 degrees it was great to sleep on the futon and heated tatami floor.

The location is a bit far 10 to 15 min walk from Anguk Station. If you are with luggages its quite difficult as the road is not flat at times going up a steeper road.

Nice evironment

The house building design

The location is very good, not far from Anguk Station exit 3. There are many cafes and minimarkets near the guesthouse. AND also near to the very hip cafe, Onion Anguk Branch! Our room is pretty huge for 5 peoples (4 adults and 1 child, and our 6 big luggages). The properties are very clean, no complaint. Mumum also very kind, provide us with early check in and late check out, thank you so much. And also cooked breakfast for us. Thank you. I will stay here if I go to Seoul again in the future.

Nothing. Everything is perfect.

The atmosphere is very calm and it’s near the anguk mrt station

Cleanness,kind staff

The private toilet is outside the room.Small toilet

The care taker, the place, the room.. The location..

Bit difficult to find the place. Toilet very small.

The lady who looked after us was charming. The location of the guesthouse was right in the center of a historic center and we found many delightful nooks and crannies in the area. The breakfast was filling and there was always easy access to hot and cold water and a fridge

The bathroom was tiny with shower water falling over the toilet and sink. I wish we could have communicated more easily with the lady who ran the guesthouse. At times she would get quite confused by what we needed. In the end, we always managed to sort things out.
