“Staying at Guesthouse The Kims feels more like visiting cherished family than booking a room. The genuine warmth of Mr. and Mrs. Kim, coupled with Mrs. Kim's exceptional Korean breakfasts, creates a uniquely welcoming atmosphere. Though a bit removed from the city center, the tranquil location near Bukhansan National Park offers a peaceful retreat, making it a worthwhile trade-off for those seeking a more personal and authentic Seoul experience.”
