Sleeping in a traditional Hanok! A great experience which I recommend. Would I stay here again? Yes. But only for one night.
This is a small traditional Korean guesthouse with four rooms run by a Korean family. The service is very good, and they are very kind, but also strict, like most Koreans, hehe.
Unlike the Ibis hotel, they didn't let us do an early check-in, even though the room was ready. (I don't know, maybe it's a Korean mindset thing. Rules are rules, I guess…)

Overall, the experience is good because it's a very beautiful and peaceful place with a small garden (don't worry, they have stuff to protect you from mosquitos), and it's just 5 minutes from the main tourist spots.
I recommend it whether you're traveling with kids or as a couple, as it's something different that you'll enjoy and remember. But I wouldn't recommend it for more than 1 or 2 nights.
And if you do book it, don't save it for your last day. Book it for your first night or somewhere in the middle so you can rest well before your flight back and have time to visit the palaces and traditional houses in the area.
The peaceful garden atmosphere you can enjoy during your stay.
