Gyeongbokgung Palace Reviews

I booked a premium hanbok rental through Klook for me and my husband. Then I booked the makeup and photography through Instagram. Reservation was very easy and they were responsive on Instagram. We came in at a busy time so it was very chaotic at first but the staff were able to help me with the Hanbok fitting, hair, and makeup. The Chandeokgung palace is just a block away and that was where we met up with the photographer and had the photos taken. We only wore the costume for 2-ish hours due to the heat outside. It was a great experience and the photos turned out really great! Another plus is they have 2 really adorable and calm shop cats 🐱. I recommend this shop for Hanbok rentals.

We had such a great experience renting our hanboks here! The entire process did take a little while, but that was completely understandable since we had four people getting dressed, including a child, and it was also pretty busy when we visited.
Everyone working there was so kind, patient, and helpful throughout the whole experience. They also spoke English well enough that we had no trouble communicating, which made everything much easier.
We absolutely loved wearing our hanboks and had such a memorable experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to rent a hanbok while visiting Seoul! 🇰🇷

I highly recommend the full day tour, we visited Gwajang market for a lunch break. Our tour guide Ms. Sunny was knowledgeable of the history per tourist sites, friendly and approachable! We definitely enjoyed the tour.

they were extremely busy that day so it took awhile to get help, but they very excited for two girls to Wear boys hanbok. also! there wasn't a huge premium plus size boy selection so they let us use the extra money to cover the cost of our accessories. kinda worth it ngl.

What an incredible experience! The hanboks make the palace visit even more special! Thank you to the gentleman from Hanbok That Day (I apologize, I forgot his name 😢) who took these amazing photos for us. I will cherish this memory forever! 🥰

If we could give them 10 stars we would! Follow the signs for the artist hanbok on the 3rd floor. I was worried about finding a Hanbok in my size as I am 5'10" (178 cm) but they clearly had the largest store in town and I found one that fit perfectly. They were high quality and steamed. They point you to your size section and you select the top and bottom you like. We did the hair and makeup with 3 hairstyles to choose from, and loved the results! My makeup artist did the mannequin under eye makeup which I felt aged my western features but she fixed it for me. There's lockers and you can keep your clothes on or take them off under the hanbok, very grateful I didn't wear mine it was hot.
Our photographer 奈良 was incredible, efficient, professional, and spoke mandarin with my friend who translated for me but even without that I understood his gestures and posing instructions easily. Our photos are wonderful, we're so happy he captured our friendship and individual poses so beautifully.

“I had a great experience renting a hanbok near Gyeongbokgung Palace. The staff were friendly and helped me choose a style that suited me well. The hanbok was clean, comfortable, and beautiful in photos. It made exploring the palace even more special. Highly recommend trying this when visiting Seoul!”

I had such a wonderful experience with my hanbok rental and photoshoot at Ehwa Studio! The staff were friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout the entire process. I absolutely loved the traditional royal hanbok, especially its beautiful navy blue color and intricate gold embroidery. It made me feel like Korean royalty!
The photoshoot was equally amazing! The photographer was professional, patient, and knew exactly how to guide me with natural poses and find beautiful spots around Gyeongbokgung Palace. The photos turned out stunning, capturing both the beauty of the palace and the elegance of the hanbok. I especially loved how natural and vibrant the shots looked!
This was definitely one of the highlights of my South Korea trip. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a memorable Korean cultural experience!

Seoul City Tour Review: The tour was a great experience and featured some of Seoul’s top attractions. From start to finish, the tour had a dedicated group and a knowledgeable guide who spoke English throughout, which made everything easy to follow.
A lower rating on value for money only due to a discrepancy in klook vs other booking sites; I found to be charged almost double the price compared to some who had used tripadvisor; no fault of the tour operators, more so my own for not doing more research—everything about the tour itself ran well, and the team delivered a solid, fairly well-organized day given the 8hr itinerary.
A special shout-out goes to Hanki/Eugene, who was great at his job. He stayed upbeat and helpful despite the very hot weather, and his professionalism made the tour better.
Overall, I’d recommend the tour for anyone wanting to see major Seoul highlights with a friendly, English-speaking guide. just make sure to compare all options for the best value ;)
