Great for the price paid
Clean and huge room. Huge TV and even a very large bath. For some reason though, they only provide medium sized towels, and not bath-sized ones. There's free Netflix shows included, but the interface is in Korean so I gave up quickly. Welcoming staff, they checked me in ahead of time at no charge. Bed is ok, Korean style (hard), but all pillows are made for people who sleep on their back and as reported by others there's a plastic sheet between the mattress and the mattress cover - made me sweat a lot while sleeping. When I arrived they had underfloor heating on - I really dislike that in Korea as unluckily it seems it can't be regulated. The room for me was way too warm. The window opened on a fried chicken restaurant so you can't keep it open overnight for fresh air. There's AC but it will be working crazy loudly against the underfloor heating - better surrender and pretend it's Summer. 2 laundry machines free to use if you stay for 2 nights or more which is very nice - but bring your google translator app as they provide usage instructions, but they're incomplete. Basic breakfast included - yogurt, eggs, small sausages, fries, salad, some grapes, bread and butter/jam. I just wish they used warmed up food holders, as both the eggs and the sausages were almost cold. The location is great as it's just a few steps away from the two bus stations and the information office for tourists. Several restaurants nearby as well. Overall very good for the price paid.

Hotel was older style but clean. It’s near the bus station so easy to arrive from the KTX or by bus, but needed to walk 10-15 min for any nicer restaurants. They offered free use of laundry machines which was appreciated on a long trip! Breakfast was good (eggs, toast, salad, yogurt, fruit), but we had to pick a time slot to eat the day before which didn’t allow for flexibility. This was fine for us but something to note. All the towels in the room were small hand towels - larger towels for showering were not offered, nor were robes. Again not a big problem, just something to note as unusual for a Westerner. :)

Country side love hotel standard. Sign shown:3 star hotel! Upon entry oily smell. Too much frying, kitchen behind registration counter. Aircon sticky dust stains and not functioning properly, plus bedsheet has semen stain. Paid extra for room at second photo but was given cheaper room at first photo. Hotel manager refused to transfer us to second room in photo. After my spouse quarrelled with him, then he decided to change a cleaner room. Bathroom shower and sink old, no lighting. Sinking into toilet seat, as compartment so tight, door in front of face. We were in discomfort, as we are tired, and it was late, no choice, didn’t shower and went to sleep. Free breakfast not true. We came in 5 mins before nothing left and manager in charge cleared everything in front of us! Morning we requested refund for second day, turned us down. Assistant says will get Owner to call us, but nothing!

The hotel is within walking distance of the bus stations, which is extremely convenient. Breakfast (toast, salad, sausage and eggs, coffee/tea vending machine) is offered every day. Lots of toiletries and drinks are provided in the room and are replenished daily. Staff are very friendly. Cons: my shower had a slight leak and my air conditioner produced a significant amount of condensation, to the point where I had to put towels/trash can underneath to catch the water. Netflix is available on the TV but you'll have to log in under your own account as the hotel's is a shared one and doesn't allow multiple users to watch at the same time. Overall, I think this is a good value for money if staying in Gyeongju.

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.
Budget spa bath, didn’t try it!

This was a wonderful hotel. Large room. Very comfortable. Friendly and pleasant staff. (Though communication largely restricted to Korean.). Very close to express bus station. (Only a 5 minute easy walk.). Not far from some of the must-see sites - the principal concentrations of the royal and noble tombs. (An easy 10 - 15 minute easy walk.). All this and a (simple) breakfast included too! Unbeatable value! Highly recommended.

Decent hotel
Good- location for seeing the touristy things and for restaurants and cafes. Shower was hot. Very clean room. Could open the window to regulate the heat. Breakfast was very good. Bad- breakfast was AT 8. Had to be there exactly at 8! Reception staff spoke very little English which I didn't mind as they don't get that many foreign guests. However, when I came back to collect my bag they wouldn't let me use a toilet before i went to get my train. Not very helpful.

Clean, from the lobby to the room everything was clean. In the room everything was clean and major things had English translation. Hot tub worked, steam room worked, exhaust fans worked. Bed was super comfortable probably my best nights sleep in 3 years. Breakfast ends kind of early but no big deal. Pay attention to the signs in the parking garage.
