Pick Your Hanbok Shop by Its Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise the friendly staff, who pick out hanbok that flatter each visitor, along with the wide range of sizes and designs. Satisfaction runs high — 'I felt like a princess' is a common refrain — and with few complaints beyond the location, ratings are impressively strong. Having accessories and an underskirt included in the price is another crowd-pleaser.

Around 100 house-designed hanbok, free hair styling and accessories, and an in-house snap photo service are the big draws here. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly staff — the photographer even coaches you through poses — and many note the hanbok are in beautiful condition. That said, English-language reviews are still fairly thin on the ground.

Reviewers keep coming back to the 500-strong hanbok selection, free basic hair styling, accessories and luggage storage, and staff who handle English, Chinese and Japanese. Friendly service, quick fittings and the short walk to Gyeongbokgung all earn praise, though a few mention the steep stairs up to the second-floor shop and some accessories looking worn.

A rental shop near Gyeongbokgung with its own photo studio — though online reviews are genuinely scarce. The handful we could find are positive, mentioning plenty of helpful staff, a wide choice of colors and designs, and convenient luggage storage, but the sample is far too small to call a rounded verdict.

The headline draws, reviewers agree, are a stock of over 1,500 hanbok and sizes running all the way from XS to 9XL. It's a big, heavily booked operation and overall satisfaction runs high — but that popularity has a flip side, with crowds and waiting times a recurring theme in reviews.

Across more than 1,500 reviews, the same praise keeps surfacing: kind, attentive staff, hanbok kept spotless and free of wear, and a free photo-print service. Overall satisfaction runs very high; the main gripe is location, with some noting it's a bit of a trek from the key photo spots.

Reviewers repeatedly praise what's included — hair styling, accessories and a bag — along with clean hanbok and staff who quote prices transparently with no hard sell. It does run a touch pricier than nearby competitors, and one practical tip crops up in reviews: card payments carry a surcharge, so cash works out better.

A hanok-studio concept shop whose big draw is shoots with a professional photographer. Early reviewers loved the friendly staff who coach you through poses and the atmospheric hanok backdrops, but recent write-ups grumble about lighting, framing, and retouching quality, slow turnaround, and a hanbok lineup that's showing its age — so opinions are split. With very few reviews on record, treat the verdict as provisional.

Reviewers love the location — directly across from Gyeongbokgung — along with free palace admission when you're in hanbok and quick, friendly service. That said, the shop is small and gets packed in high season, a few guests found the final bill didn't match the quoted price, and some felt rushed while choosing, so the service style divides opinion.

This shop touts hanbok made in-house, with hair styling, accessories, and petticoats all included free, and it's barely a minute's walk from Gyeongbokgung. The catch: it has almost no reviews on the major platforms yet, so there's little to go on when it comes to recurring pros and cons.

With a Japanese-language website and LINE bookings, this shop enjoys a strong following among Japanese travelers, and several Japanese travel blogs cover it in detail — mostly on how to reserve and what comes free. Hard numbers like star ratings and review counts couldn't be verified, though, so its reputation rests mainly on those blog write-ups.

One of the more thoroughly reviewed shops near Gyeongbokgung, with plenty of praise for staff who pitch in with warm, hands-on hanbok recommendations, a wide range of sizes and styles, and the flexibility to take same-day and last-minute bookings. On the flip side, the shop can be tricky to find, and extra charges — hair styling, men's traditional gat hats — come up repeatedly as a gripe.

Sitting right at the entrance to the palace museum at Gyeongbokgung, this shop wins points for its range of themes — king, queen, traditional, modern — clean, odor-free garments, and kids' sizes that make it a solid family pick. Downsides in the reviews: prices run high, swapping pieces in your outfit is limited, and one guest called the service rude. With just three reviews on record, take it all as a rough guide.

Reviewers keep coming back to the value here — rentals from ₩10,000 with hair styling, basic accessories, and a bag thrown in free — and to staff who stay warm and friendly even at their busiest. It's a one-to-two-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Station, and the hanbok quality earns solid marks too. Worth noting: the shop sits on the third floor, which can be awkward for older visitors and kids, and expect peak-season crowds plus extra fees for premium accessories.

This big shop near Gyeongbokgung earns steady praise for its wide costume selection, included hair styling and handy location. That said, reviewers also flag afternoon crowds, hit-or-miss staff service and the occasional worn-out outfit — so your experience can hinge on when you go and how the shop is running that day. It has one of the largest review counts of any shop we surveyed.

A short walk from Anguk Station, this shop makes a handy base for combining Bukchon, Changdeokgung, Gyeongbokgung and Insadong in one outing. The roughly 230㎡ space stocks everything from traditional to modern styles, with hairbands, underskirts and digital lockers free of charge — shoes, bags and premium hair accessories cost extra. One caveat: the page we reviewed lists no star ratings or review counts, so there's little hard data to gauge its reputation.

The shop touts a wardrobe of over 1,000 outfits, including themed and queen-style hanbok, with eight hair-styling options, accessories and in-store lockers all free of charge. Note that it closes on Tuesdays. That said, the page we reviewed shows no star ratings or review counts, so there's limited real-user feedback to weigh the pros and cons.

Across review platforms, the most consistent praise is for spotless, well-kept outfits. Reviewers also rate the fabric and color quality highly, along with the friendly staff, the convenient spot near the station, and the helpful posing tips during snap shoots. Negative comments are rare, and overall satisfaction runs high.

Some reviewers love the pretty designs and the extras — hair styling, bag rental — while others voice sharp complaints about staff service and quality or damage issues with certain garments, underskirts included. With such a small pool of reviews, though, it's too early to call the shop's reputation either way; check the latest feedback before you go.

This shop keeps a lively presence on TripAdvisor, where reviewers rave about the hanbok designs, colors, and detailing. That said, the same gripes come up again and again: peak-season crowds and waits, and if you arrive late in the day, your size or the popular designs may already be gone. Overall a solid choice — just give yourself plenty of time.

Right next to Gyeongbokgung Station, this shop earns repeat praise for its location and for friendly staff who steer you toward styles that actually suit you. Reviewers highlight the wide range of hanbok types, colors, and patterns — and the refreshing lack of pushy upselling — though a few petite visitors note the skirts can run a bit long. Ratings on booking platforms are among the highest around.

Independent reviews of this shop are scarce, so there's little to go on. Price-comparison blogs mention budget rates like ₩10,000 for 2 hours and a high Google rating, but that comes from a single source — treat it as a rough reference at best.

A large shop with a huge volume of reviews on booking platforms, praised for its wide selection of designs and sizes, with accessories included in the deal. The recurring caveat: at peak season and peak hours, expect waits, and snagging the hanbok you had your eye on can be tricky. Ratings hold steady overall.

Billed as a large-scale operation a one-minute walk from Gyeongbokgung Station, with roughly 330㎡ of floor space, 100 free lockers, plus styling services and other amenities. It has racked up over 10,000 sales on KKday with high ratings to match, and reviewers gush about the 'Korean princess' styling. On the downside, the walk to Gyeongbokgung, the crowds, and extra charges for styling all come up.

A ground-floor shop billed as having over 1,000 hanbok in sizes from XS to 4XL, kids' options included, so choice is not a problem. Free hair styling, a self-service powder room, and free lockers are cited as strong points, and there's positive word about the friendly staff and seasonal new arrivals. One caveat: we couldn't verify any hard numbers on ratings or review counts.

This shop leads with its own hanbok designs and operates mainly through Instagram and DM enquiries, so there's little to be found on the usual review platforms. With no reliable review base to draw on, there's effectively nothing to summarize — pros or cons.

The shop keeps an active official Instagram, but you'll find virtually no reviews or ratings on Klook, KKday, TripAdvisor or Google. With so little firsthand feedback to go on, it's hard to weigh the pros and cons — best to contact the shop directly before you visit.

Online searches turn up no reviews or booking pages clearly tied to this shop's name. With no ratings or review counts to go on, double-check the location — and whether it's still open — before making the trip.
