"Absolutely loved everything about the property. The host was incredibly welcoming, responsive and helpful.
Great location with sites, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.
Zero negative to say. Perfect stay. ❤️"
"Good location near the bus terminal and not too far from the main tourist spots. Hotel is a bit outdated however room was big and spacious. We only wished the bathrooms were a bit cleaner, some of the glass walls were dirty. Burger King, Starbucks and McDonald's are all pretty close."
"The location was great as we also visited Gyeongju world. Options around the hotel for food outside are very limited so ended up going into the town every evening. Unfortunately the concierge were not very helpful when we asked questions on how best to see the sites, but just ended up using the internet to build our own itinerary. We had a family room for 4 but there were only 3 towels, 3 robes etc.. the first day we asked for extra, but then had to ask every other day. The buffet was good."
