Foreigner Friendly, Great Staff, Easy Process, Cute Hanboks! - This shop had a very foreigner friendly presence, with not only the signs being in English but the staff also spoke English as well. The staff are wonderful and were very helpful with guiding you and helping you with your Hanbok. This experience made going to the Palace even more special and enjoyable.

A fun experience in Chimachogoli - I was able to wear hanbok with my daughter, which I wanted to try on at one time, and the rental shop system was very easy to understand, and the staff was very friendly and handy, and I enjoyed the experience. It was a good memory.

Hugely Disappointed - This was the top thing on my parents bucket list when it came to going to South Korea for the first time. There’s numerous rental stores around this area and it was hard to find the actual store. They gave us a locker to store our valuables in but it was broken so good thing we checked if it worked first. I understand that usually in Asian countries the sizes are way smaller compared to the U.S. but I was hugely disappointed to find that if you usually wear a medium or larger that you can only pick from a small part of the rack which lacked so much in different color choices and designs compared to the many other racks We were one of the first people in line and the short collection to choose from would suck even more if we came in a later time especially if all the custom larger sizes are all rented out for a few hours to see the temple. There was one very accommodating worker but everyone else seemed to be rushing us through the experience.

Disappointing experience at Hanboknam - I had a disappointing experience at Hanboknam. The service was poor — the staff were unhelpful and seemed too stressed to assist customers. The process felt rushed, and I didn’t feel welcomed or guided properly when selecting or fitting the hanbok. For a place that caters to tourists and special cultural experiences, I expected a lot more professionalism and friendliness. I wouldn’t recommend this hanbok rental to anyone
