Not owned by a hotel chain
If you’re looking for a hotel chain, then this place is not the one. This place felt more like a family operated bed and breakfast with some hotel like features. Clean place with comfortable bed. Lighting a bit yellow though. Washroom felt a little outdated but overall clean. Would recommend this place if anyone is in the area. Hot tub didn’t work though.

My room decor was terrific with stylish furnishings. Most hotel amenities were excellent but showering towels are tiny. The neighborhood is convenient but inelegant. Definitely rent a bicycle nearby to explore city when not on a tour.

Pretty good
Good location, quite close to bus terminal and not far from lots of the must-see historical spots around Gyeongju. The hotel itself is nice, the rooms relatively spacious with decent amenities. It is family run and reasonably friendly. The complimentary breakfast was dreadful and as a result skipped out on it for most of our stay.

The staff was wonderful! The location is also at a great and convenient spot, near the bus station. It is also walking distance from a shopping/cafe street, museums, and parks.

It is an average hotel located in an entertainment district. The rooms are a bit worn down. The staff at the reception is not very attentive. However it is OK for a couple of nights if the room rates are reasonable at the time of booking.

Behind a deceiving neighbourhood and reception, lies an excellent hotel. Clean, comfortable room, with a spa, ample bathroom, good bedding. Breakfast provided. Laundry facilities can be used free of charge. Great experience

Friendly, clean, comfortable hotel
Fantastic hotel with friendly and attentive staff. We paid a little more (about £20 more overall) for the deluxe double room and it was well worth it. The bed was very comfy and the bath was huge!
Free breakfast had something for everyone and was tasty. The hotel managers and front desk staff were so nice and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely stay.

The hotel has ‘unique’ decor which is fun. The rooms are big and comfortable.
The breakfast was good with a reasonable variety for a Korean hotel. Best of all we’re the staff, the guys were really friendly with OK English and a clear desire to help, in any way they could. It is also in a great location, close to all the sights and the bus terminal. The night market is close for a great dinner option. Highly recommend.

Amazing Hotel
We stayed for 2 nights, parking was free. Service was very friendly (they speak some English). Room was very clean, bed very comfortable, we had a very large bath tub + sauna in the room (but somehow no storage). Internet worked fine, breakfast had some decent Western choices.

Central hotel with breakfast
A nice boutique hotel close to Gyeongju bus terminal, easy to go on day tours. Breakfast included which was nice. Our room was clean and nicely decorated. We loved the bath tub! There were only 4 small towels in the room, no bath towels. Maybe it was a mistake, we don’t know. My partner found the sheets a bit plastic which made him feel hot at night.
The staff didn’t speak English and one of the guys didnt answer or even look at us when ”interacting” with us, that felt quite rude.
