Gyeongju hotellia

Plussat: I like the design of the place... Western yet tranquil and the screen that gives you privacy in your bed space.

Miinukset: The locks of the storage box for your shoes at the entrance of the property and underneath the bed for the sporage of t Your luggage... doesnt work perfectly.

Plussat: Everything, clean facilities, friendly and courteous staff, comfortable bed, good location, good breakfast, good atmosphere... this is an excellent hostel!

Miinukset: I liked everything

Plussat: The hostel is very well located, close to the historical area. The room, the restroom and the common space are clean, modern and well-equipped. The hostel was quiet after 10PM and the mattress rather good, I slept very well compared with the backpackers' hostels I went just before. The breakfast was really good and well-stocked. And special thanks to the owner, for her kindness and availability. Thank you for your advices Sharon!

Miinukset: Breakfast maybe a little late (start at 8PM)

Plussat: The good taste food and clean kitchen can be enjoyed and utilized! I will recommend this house for anyone who want to visit 경주 Gyeongju :)

Plussat: Seonhee was the friendliest and most helpful person I’ve met working in a hostel. She went out of her way to help us with information, went above and beyond to help my friend get in contact with the park office which recovered her lost camera, and showed us a great bar round the corner from the hostel. She absolutely made our stay here - thank you Seonhee!

Plussat: Sharon our host was fantastic! She has loads of knowledge of the local area and would suggest where to go each day we were here. She genuinely cared for her guests and was very interested in all our stories and background. She organised a fantastic dinner out and then we did a night tour of the bridge at night and then went for some beers after! The guesthouse was very inviting and great to meet other like-minded travellers.

Miinukset: Nothing - the place was great, beds were comfortable! Showers could be better in terms of water pressure and kept on fluctuating between hot and cold but not a big problem!

Plussat: Breakfast was really good!

Plussat: I liked my stay at Blue Boat hostel in Gyeongju, the host is very nice and takes her time to explain things in detail, and also takes good care of the place. Thank you si much Sharon for your kindness and availability :)

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: I didnt like anything. The owner is just thinking about the TV, she doesnt help you for nothing. When i arrived i asked for information and she send me to the tourist information at the station. If you dont awake soon, there is no breakfast, there wasnt hot water in the shower, everything is very small. There is not living room or so. Worst hostel i stayed in a long time. I dont use to write such a review like this one, but make you a favor to yourself and take another place.

Plussat: The hostel is near by the train station and also the bus to every main spot. Everything is clean and the staff is very kind.

Plussat: Clean, big and quiet room. Good value for money.

Miinukset: Nothing in particular.

Plussat: Comfortable large room in a great location. Definitely recommend to stay there unless you're looking for a traditional stay in a hanok

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Good Situation.

Miinukset: Small window and the clim doesn't work, it was so hot...

Plussat: The room was large. Convenient Location near a bus station and not far from the main sites by walking distance.

Plussat: Decoration is morden and lovely. The location is very close to shopping area and places worth to visit. Provide USB ports for charging electric devices in convience.

Miinukset: The bed is too soft.

Plussat: Such friendly helpful staff, the manager went out of his way to try to help us extend our stay due to being unwell, unfortunately very busy time but we were helped out to source other options. As for the room, very spacious and the most comfortable bed and pillows we have had during our trip throughout S Korea. Great location to the metro as well and plenty of dining options. Nearby to the main shopping precinct and of course most importantly the historical sites.

Plussat: Excellent hotel and one of the best value for money. Comfortable stay, friendly English speaking staff.

Miinukset: Waiting 4pm for check in i didn’t know really if the hotel was full....

Plussat: Fab hotel within walking distance to some of the best sights in the town and also close to the shopping district. It’s on a quiet road and the rooms are really lovely. Great value for money! And really lovely staff who are keen to help!

Miinukset: There’s nothing negative about this hotel - I’m just sorry we couldn’t stay for longer!

Plussat: Very convenient location! Five minutes walk from the station! The room is big, ,clean and good maintained! Price is cheap!

Plussat: the location, the room, the surroundings and also the food

Miinukset: a bit isolated - need to be prepared in advance before reaching the property

Plussat: Everything was thought of

Miinukset: Actually aside from the the road it was perfect.

Plussat: This place was the best place I have ever stayed at in Korea for a holiday break. I really was quiet, warm, comfortable and so relaxing. The hosts were excellent. We were able to barbeque by ourselves after they prepared all the food for us. It is remotely situated, about 20 minutes drive from Gyeongju, into the mountains (and in a national park), so it is the perfect get away from the busy city. It is an excellent place for families as well, as there are facilities to be able to cook for yourself. Our children could play outside, with lots of furry animals to keep them entertained! Another excellent quality was how clean it was upon our arrival. I was really surprised, the linen and bedding was freshly washed and smelled so good. The café is also one of the best deals of this pension, we were able to eat a delicious breakfast with a lit fire in the wooden cabin. Truly a five star experience!

Plussat: Very friendly owner Mr Huang and his wife. He collected us from the bus station and also took us on a walking trip up a nearby mountain which was spectacular. Although a lovely location for walking it is a long way from the sites in Gyeongjui with no public transport.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The house is located far from everything in the middle of the nature and it’s cool but is better go there with car. I suggest you to bring food to cook so you can be more free to choiche

Plussat: This place is truly a gem. It is obvious this is more than just a business to the owners.

Plussat: Nice place, lovely room decoration

Miinukset: Not good location if you want to visit Gyeoungju. If you want to enjoy nature and relax, it's a good option

Plussat: This place is a little gem, I love this place, the room are beautifully decorated with different themes, nice scenery surrounding us. The cafe served own baked bread and it was excellent. Will be back again, if I visit Gyeonju.

Miinukset: I reached the premise a little late. Will make a better time arrangement if I come again.

Plussat: The location and the clean environment of accommodation

Plussat: Very nice Host, good localisation, toilets are outside.

Miinukset: futons are very thin, and rooms are small.

Plussat: Vers good location. Clean and comfortable. Everything was fine!

Plussat: Close to intercity bus station. Can either walk or take bus to different attractions.

Miinukset: Need to make your own breakfast & wash your own the dishes!!

Plussat: Way better than what we expected based on the pictures and description. Friendly staff. Good, simple breakfast but you need to wash your own dishes which is not a big deal. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: You can hear people speaking in the corridor (or room next door?) when you’re in your room.

Plussat: Place was kept pretty clean Friendly staff Free breakfast was good enough for me and my little guy because they provide eggs that you can cook on your own, along with toast and cereal. Plenty of choice drinks in terms of juice. Close enough to walk or take bus to major tourist attractions. For the cost per night, I think G House is good value stay

Miinukset: Location was little bit confusing for cab drivers but once I got the hang of where we were staying, I was able to tell them to drop me off at sky motel

Plussat: The breakfast was very nice and overall the stay was very comfortable. The front desk had advice on buses to get to the key sites and transport hubs.

Plussat: Nice, clean room and a great atmosphere

Miinukset: If you can include more stuff on breakfast than usual one's, also TV in the room

Plussat: Friendly, clean & best bed I slept in in South Korea

Miinukset: Small towels - they were like hand towels

Plussat: Good location to get around the major sights

Miinukset: Bed was quite uncomfortable and the cleanliness of the room could have been better

Plussat: Everything was good

Plussat: I liked my room and the separated bath and toilet. The community room was spacious and nice, it was very pleasant after all.

Miinukset: There was no lockers for important things like passports or electronics so make sure to bring a lock for your bag.

Plussat: Just one of the best hostels Very clean, comfortable and nice hosts! Good breakfast and close to bus station (3-5 min)

Plussat: Quirky large rooms with everything you need. I think each of the rooms had a theme, ours was so large it had both a spa bath and sauna! Personally I think it would be better to just have the sauna available to guests but located outside of the room. Beds comfortable and clean, and massive bathroom! Very close to the bus station and easy access to the tombs.

Miinukset: Nothing accomodation was great, location wise it is surrounded by quite a few lounge/girly bars but this didn’t worry us as not out late at night.

Plussat: They are talking English, very clean room, all the facilities are available, really it was very nice experiment.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: everything was excellent! Very nice and clean room, great location, excellent staff and great breakfast!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Breakfast and location were great. Staff was very helpful. Room was amazing!

Plussat: Very friendly, English speaking staff, big, clean, sumptuous room, hearty breakfast and perfect location (close to the bus station, walking distance to the main attractions) make this place a perfect value for money stay.

Plussat: Aamiainen oli yksinkertainen, mutta toimiva.

Plussat: Someone spoke good English!

Miinukset: Not much.

Plussat: Nice room, with a lot of comfort and a nice big bathtub. Very comfortable bed A short walk from the center

Miinukset: We asked if we could store our luggages there before the check in, they kept them in front of the reception, without any surveillance. Not the best service

Plussat: Price - quality

Miinukset: Airconditioning was a little bit loud and right above the bed (not ideal for in the night)

Plussat: Location is great and easy to navigate to all points of interest. It is located close to the Intercity bus terminal. The stay is good and lots of eateries around. We had a great stay and great breakfast!!

Miinukset: Nil

Plussat: Nice staff, I got my room at 1pm although check-in is only at 3pm, great location (street with lots of restaurants, a few clubs, close to bus terminal), very cosy and large room, comfortable large bed, fridge, toilet and bath separated, modern looking hotel

Miinukset: Wifi not working (even after a restart of the router), no toilet paper in the room when I arrived, only very few bathing products, poor breakfast, no safe deposit in the room, complicated light system (light switch shines blue and is clearing up the room all night long)

Plussat: The location, the room, the owner...

Miinukset: Nada

Plussat: Very polite and helpful hotel manager

Miinukset: As seen on other reviews beds are indeed quite hard

Plussat: Awesome centrally located accommodation. We really enjoyed our stay here as everything was within walking distance and the owner spoke great English.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Owner seems nice.

Miinukset: It was dirty, stinky and full of fungus.

Plussat: The property was extremely neat and clean, and thoughtful amenities like chargers (for people travelling from abroad, and having non-compatible plugs) were in place. The property owners are readily helpful and even printed a personalised map of all things to see and do nearby. They not only made valuable suggestions, but also ensured we had a good time!

Miinukset: Everything was great!

Plussat: Location very close to bus terminal; All the sights in walking distance; Free coffee and tea

Miinukset: Room was quite small. We were two people with backpacks and had to organize quite a bit.

Plussat: Staff was always very friendly and helpful. The place looked better than in the pictures and everything was clean. They even gave us some little supplies which I thought was a nice touch.

Plussat: We spent a very good time in this hotel. The owner was very kind and he gave us great advice to do some sightseeing in Gyeongju. The room was big and very comfortable. Everything was very clean. Also we can take free drip coffee every morning at the hotel before leaving. We definitely recommend this place. Best place for the buck that we found in South Korea!

Plussat: Good location. Very near to both bus terminals. And walking distance to the historical sites. Host is extremely friendly, he provided very good suggestions and guide on how we can spend our days in Gyeonju. Also helped us ordered dinner to be delivered to our room. Good recommendation on food too.

Miinukset: Alittle run down but clean and neat. No lift if you are concern about lugging bags upstairs.

Plussat: Location is great. And the manager is a nice attentive person who cares for small details

Miinukset: room could have a better window, however it wasn't a problem

Plussat: It has great location and beautiful surroundings

Miinukset: You pay for using swimming pool separately and it is very expensive for summer season.

Miinukset: Most of the restaurants were closed, despite advertisements on the hotel room TV.

Plussat: Very nice and helpful staff at check-in and guest service! Our family room was very spacious and offered enough room for a family of 4. Perefect place to see the Cherry Blossoms.

Miinukset: It is a little far from downtown and the sights. You have to use a taxi to go around. Breakfast was very busy.

Plussat: Kind staff, a family friendly swimming pool and comfortable beds. The hotel prepares breakfast for kids as well. Organized well for a family with kids.

Miinukset: Wating for check in and check out was not a pleasant experience...

Plussat: nice view but nothing more

Miinukset: I have never been to a Hilton that makes you pay 23 pounds per person per day to use the swimming pool. That is disgusting. No where does it state on booking.com or Hilton website that you have to pay extra for the swimming pool. The room was expensive for what you got which is an average bedroom. No breakfast, below standard shower, uncomfortable pillows. We only went for 2 nights and even if we wanted to pay 46 pounds on the second day the pool was closed all day. No compensation nothing. I would never stay there again.

Plussat: Hilton quality with Asian service say it all. Hugely popular with families. Plenty of restaurants to chooz from. This is our third time here, and still loving the hilton, except at breakfast time

Miinukset: Breakfast time is like eating in the street, so so so crowded, although the variety of food is widely offered

Plussat: Deffenetly one of the best hotels I’ve ever visited.

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: 40 minutes waiting time for check-in + extra-costs for everything!

Plussat: none

Miinukset: screaming from roller coaster nearby. poor poorly insulated room door and noisy corridor. terrible staff with ugly attitude picture of front desk manager

Plussat: comfort, breakfast, location

Miinukset: pricey

Plussat: Near by the convenient stores

Miinukset: Water glass in the room are not clean Korean style mattress are not really comfortable

Plussat: Close to bus terminal Nice staffs Clean and cozy room

Plussat: comfortable bed, at least there was one person who spoke english in this hotel that advertises itself as "tourist".

Miinukset: breakfast was a disaster. bad quality food, cold food, bad service and depressing atmosphere. On top of that, breakfast only available till 09.10hrs. Lights in room switch on automatically at 8.00 hrs....time to get up? Room looks comfortable at first sight, but smell of cigarettes, despite all smoking penalties and warnings. All in all, I wonder is this a hotel or a prison? Upon check out nobody asked me about my stay and I very much doubt the reliability of the relatively high "booking.com score" the hotel eagerly advertises....

Plussat: The room was big and comfortable, it came with all the necessities. The staff were helpful. I must say the location was excellent, it was close the the terminal, and some sites.

Miinukset: The washroom seems a bit dirty. But it wasn't much, so I could ignore that.

Plussat: Does everything it claims to do. Nothing outstanding but a comfortable stay and a good choice for location. Bus stop right outside and express bus station round the corner

Miinukset: It wasn’t full and we arrived at 1pm the inability to check in seemed to be part of the rules rather than I’m sorry but your room isn’t ready yet. However they stored our bag and we happily hit the tourist trail. Plastic mattress protector ☹️

Plussat: Huone oli tilava ja siisti. Kylpyhuoneessa poreamme. Hotelli sijaitsee bussiterminaalin vieressä. Samoin historialliset kohteet ovat lähellä.

Miinukset: Tiedustelimme bussiyhteyksiä Mt. Namsanille (Seonamsanin infopiste). Vastauksen saaminen kesti pitkään ja lisäksi meidät opastettiin väärälle pysäkille, josta päädyimme takaisin bussiterminaalille.

Plussat: Very helpful and efficient staff. Excellent location.

Miinukset: It would be much appreciated if all the staff at the reception were more fluent in English.

Plussat: + Sijainti. + Halpa hinta. + Huoneen toimivuus.

Miinukset: -Respan naiset hymyttömiä ja kylmiä: aamiaisella kysyivät tervehtimättä vain huoneen numeroa.

Plussat: Great location within walking distance of most sites I wanted to see. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was spacious and comfortable. Bottled water was appreciated. Overall, great stay!

Plussat: Good location, very close to and bus stops and bus terminal. staff was friendly and helpful. good price.

Plussat: - perfect mix of (non)Asian breakfast - shower, I mean, HUGE shower! - location right next to the Express bus terminal

Miinukset: - shining from the light control panels during night

Plussat: Really great location next to bus station ( 5mins walk). Really lovely rooms and breakfast was good.

Plussat: The bedroom and bathroom were large, and clean. They had everything we needed for comfort without all the extra stuff that just gets in the way. The kichenette was small but had everything needed including utensils and an electric teapot. Pool and deck looked good but we were to busy to use. Mrs. Park and her husband were as nice as they could be. They also offered free rides to and from the bus or local train stations.

Miinukset: The Pension and restaurant complex was on the bus route so that was convenient however, the pensions were a ways up the hill. Mrs. Parks or her husband picked us up and delivered us down the hill every time we needed within minutes of our call but we hated having to disturb them all the time. They never acted like we were bothering them at all so I guess it shouldn't be a negative.

Plussat: Very nice owners. Big and comfortable rooms, with equipment for cooking. Swimming pool. We spent two days there and were very well treated. One of our sons hurt himself when playing and the owner brought him to the best hospitals for making a few stitches, spending several hours at night with me.

Miinukset: It is 10 min walk from a bus station that goes either to city center or to the other tourist site. The owners were extremely helpful to bring us to the bus station and even picked us up from the KTX station Singyeongju, which is outside of the city and 30 minutes away, for a smaller fee. The best option is to have a car. If you travel by bus, you have to wait for the buses sometimes 15-30min and bus drivers are not nice at all with tourists. The central city station tourist info helped us find a car.

Plussat: Everything was excellent. A very family friendly place. Mrs. Park treats you like family. Great place. We will visit again. She also speaks English so communication was no problem.

Plussat: The host are super nice. They make us feel like home, helping as much as they can to make our stay confortable. They help us with bus, pick us up at the station as many times as we asked for (even when we didn’t ask). The room was lovely, with a big terrace and confortable equipment (bed, small kitchen, etc.). The breakfast was good as well.

Miinukset: Nothing :)

Plussat: We travel from Busan to Gyeongju by bus and the day before we receive an email from Ms Park, the owner of the Pension, asking at what time we would arrive because the transfer from the bus/train station to the Bellus rose was included. Once we were in the Pension, Ms Park explain us what we could do in the city and asked us to call her in case we had any troubles. I have to say that Ms Park is a very lovely person and made our visit to Gyeongju very delightfull.

Miinukset: The Pension is not in the center of the city but there is a bus that takes only 10 minutes to arrive. From the bus stop to the pension, it takes around 10 minutes walking. It was not really a problem for us. Actually, the Bellus Rose is in a national park and if you like nature, you will love this place.

Plussat: Mrs Park is a wonderful host! She's the most friendly, kind and helpful host we have ever met, and we wouldn't be able to make it to the train station on time without her helping us by bringing our bags to the bus stop! The room is super cute and spacious, very warm and clean, and it has everything you'll need!

Plussat: The owner of the guesthouse was friendly and welcoming. She went out of her way to be helpful, even picking us up from the bus stop. We travelled with our per dog and she was as welcomed as we were.

Plussat: The host and owner was very kind and wellcoming

Miinukset: It was difficult to find on MapsMe

Plussat: Lovely host - very attentive to our needs and spoke English. Clean with large balcony and quite location but close to all sites.

Miinukset: Deco not fully to my taste a little too much but partner liked it!

Plussat: Nice size room but rather expensive compared to another we stayed in in the area. Host was very friendly and helpful. They pick up from bus station for free if needed.

Plussat: fresh air and enviroment

Miinukset: One of the front desk staff has poor English.

Plussat: The accommodations had a rain shower and a separate tub. It was roomy and reasonable in price.

Miinukset: A major earthquake hit the area and they didn't have a good emergency plan. I hope this is a wake up call for training their management for all situations.

Plussat: Nice room (Korean style, no bed). Nice and large bathroom. Good view to the golf course.

Plussat: Cleanliness, space and facilities of the room

Miinukset: -

Plussat: The room is great and clean. Staff is friendly

Miinukset: There was a problem with the air conditioner. Too hot in the room.. The pool is nit in the hotel, it is near and it's not comfortable

Plussat: the landscape around the hotel is peaceful and quiet!

Plussat: Good location, clean and spacious room

Miinukset: The swimming pool was not tourist friendly--there was only one lane open, and it was mostly for people having lessons. The room was also too warm and the thermostat did not work.

Plussat: Very helpful staff. Flexible to change room type.

Miinukset: Traditional Korean room type was uncomfortable for us. Thin Futon on hard floor did not provide a relaxing night for us. More details in description would be helpful.

Plussat: Good location in walking distance to sights and bus station

Miinukset: Breakfast was slides of toast with jam in the entrance lobby

Plussat: Location is good and they had free parking.

Miinukset: While checking in we were told that we have to pay an additional fee (16.000 Won) if we wanted to pay with card, when I took out my phone to check the booking details they changed their mind really quick. The heating was very insufficient and the room cold. We had blood stains underneath the pillows.

Miinukset: No reception service

Plussat: Large rooms. Coffee and bottled water for free. Clean. Close to main attractions.

Miinukset: A bit outdated and strange decorations. Not very responsive reception.

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Was very difficult to sleep because every 20 minutes a very loud humming noise was coming from somewhere, maybe from a boiler or other electrical system, extremely annoying. Also no toilet roll and the sheets on the bed kept sliding off the duvet as they were not attached. Uncomfortable.

Plussat: The staff was amazing and felt very comfortable. Very clean and lovely spacious room. View of the royal tombs from the room, so stunning!

Plussat: The location is excellent! Just a 5 minute walk through the tombs to great cafes, restaurants, and shops. Check in and check out were very easy, and it was nice to not have to rush on our last morning, as the check out time is noon.

Miinukset: The room was dingy, and although the A/C made it too cold, if we turned it off for too long, the room became very stuffy. As a westerner, I prefer my bed be a little softer, and I really missed having a comfortable pillow.

Plussat: Location is good, short walk to some of the historical sites and to the city tour bus stop... loads of places to eat out at walking distance.

Plussat: The bed was so unbelievably big. I've honestly never seen such a big bed in my life. Wow.

Plussat: Kindly clean good location

Miinukset: Breakfast was not included

Plussat: Staff were friendly but did not provide recommendations or solutions to room with no air-conditioning.

Miinukset: No air-conditioning in the room. Room stayed 30 degrees Celsius all night. Too hot to sleep comfortably. Walls were not sound proof and heard all noises through out the night. Lots of distraction and disturbing noises from outside near the hotel in the morning too. Very uncomfortable. More like 1 star rating than 3 stars.

Plussat: Staff vert kind Room is large Breakfast is good

Plussat: Convenient store

Miinukset: Not yet found

Plussat: lake view is very beautiful

Miinukset: The front desk staff need pay more patience to the guest and know clearly what he wanted.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: This hotel is very suitable for family trip with children and they provide a good buffet for a dinner with reasonable & discounted price. The location is also good for traveling around Geongju city.

Plussat: Good standard, slept really well, nice views, a quite boring restaurant but with really good food. Karaoke in the hotel (!)

Miinukset: Its not really near anything except for McDonalds and stuff like that. So you would need a car to get around. But its quite near lots of attractions (with car)

Plussat: Very friendly staff and efficient check-in/check-out. The room was modern and spacious with a nice view of the lake. Excellent breakfast buffet with a very wide range of selections.

Plussat: Staffs are really friendly. Location is great! Room is exactly as in the picture

Miinukset: No

Plussat: + location is very good, near by bus terminals + wifi worked well + the histess was kind ( but she didn't speak englush) + common kitchen where was possible to make breahfast (therd were i.g. eggs, toasts, coffee/tea available). + traditional korean style accommodation.

Miinukset: - the room was shabby and small. There was not enough shelfs or tables for goods and hooks for towels - water was icecold or boiled hot, it was difficult to get a shower.

Miinukset: Low water pressure, no hot water No working wifi

Plussat: Nice Korean style interior

Miinukset: Since it's traditional house, bit weak to prevent bugs. Also, I was in the room 2, and we can hear people in room3 clearly becuase there was internal door btw room2and3. It's cheap, but bit noisy

Plussat: Well, it is a traditional Korean house, so the level of comfort of the room can not be expected as in a regular hotel, not even a motel, you are going to sleep in the floor, and have a little room, but that is what the experience of sleeping in a place like that is about.

Miinukset: There is not an actual reception there, so a very nice person, would show up eventually and open the room for you at check in time. It is not very convenient if you expect to leave your bags before the check in, start visiting places, and check in later.

Plussat: - love the garden and the kids spent a lot of time outside - we love the attached bathroom and self service kitchen. The owner got us eggs and we loved having breakfast at the garden - we loved the ondol system (heated floor) and experience in the traditional hanok - amazing location near bus terminal and walking distance to sights

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Location is close to Express Bus Terminus & scenic spots. This is the 3rd time I stay Sarangbang. Friendly lady owner

Miinukset: Mosquitoes

Plussat: Place with great location, nearby bus station, very cozy room. Host is kind woman, thanks for keeping our luggage! Sleeping on the floor, traditional bed and small pillow. Space enough for 4 people and that's the limit.

Plussat: The hotel makes a good first impression, it is just a few minutes away from the Hwabaek International Convention Center, and the hotel is good for large groups. It first annoyed me that I had to book the sauna to visit the fitness room, but a visit to the spa is absolutely worth 14000 won!

Miinukset: I have no idea how the hotel got the 5 stars on booking.com. As far comfort and attention to details are concerned, it's more like a 3-star hotel. Given the price I had to pay, it wasn't very surprising though. Do not book the traditional Korean room unless you know what you are doing! It's not about adding some local flair to your experience. Instead, it's just about not having elementary conveniences that an average european takes for granted: a chair, a desk, and some kind of a mattress.

Plussat: Room size is quite big and staff is very friendly at the front desk. But that’s actually all there is to say

Miinukset: Mirror was dirty and hasn’t been cleaned in 2 days. There was some other people’s hair in the bathroom and sorry to say, but the breakfast buffet was not worth the 20.000 KRW. Can’t say anything about the sauna and the gym, as we didn’t use it. Bottom line, I wouldn’t book it again.

Plussat: Very good spa and pool (with additional charge, but really fair price (30,000 KRW for 1 adult + 2 children; <20,000 KRW for spa only)). Staff is veryfriendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Restaurants quality: average and limited offer in low season. Ondol rooms are on 3rd and 4th floor and have no view. And too hot. Rooms are a bit old and should be refurbished. Like many hotels around the lake, K-Hotel is designed first for weddings and congress. Makes it a bit impersonal. But ok for the price.

Plussat: friendly staff, big room, clean.

Miinukset: complete lack of charm, for from everything you want to see in Gyeongju- but that is true for all of these major hotels in this area.

Plussat: Breakfast buffet was good

Miinukset: Room was little bit small

Miinukset: Breakfast not up to the international standard, more to local style. Interior are more to local style. wooden furniture .

Plussat: The location is near Gyeongju amusement park in Bomun Resort. Quite far (15 mins with taxi) from the town but it has cinema and other convenient stores around. The hotel itself is quite remote so you can have your peaceful sleep in silence.

Miinukset: The beds are quite hard and the room was slightly cold. I wish that they have warmer rooms for us.

Plussat: Quiet, fresh air, good breakfast

Miinukset: People drunk outside late at night on a weekday

Plussat: The parking lot was huge (in comparison to other hotels in Korea) and the staff has been very kind and professional.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Overall, it is quite good. The bed is comfortable, air conditioning is working. Breakfast is good, there is a lot of options for everyone taste.

Miinukset: Something stinks in the bathroom. The humidity is quite high at the bathroom.

Plussat: Clean and tidy. very nice balcony. even faced a blossom tree right outside my room! Nice location near the lake, only a few minutes' walk from the bus station where you can easily get a bus to city center

Miinukset: The balcony was obviously never cleaned...had to wipe out all the dust on the chair before sitting down. Not a big deal though, probably it was never used in the winter that just passed.

Plussat: Clean

Miinukset: The design of the shower, every time after shower, the bathroom is all wet

Plussat: Everything is good

Miinukset: Doesn't like what i thought before Hotel looks smaller, room looks smaller than that i see on website

Miinukset: Some shelves should be provided. The swimming pool is much smaller than it seems to be from the photo.

Plussat: Everything

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: The staff is super kind and nice. They checked me in early without extra payment. There's a small gym near the lobby. The room has all the necessary facilities. Instead of one big bath towel there are four small napkins, but they are very absorptive.

Miinukset: There's no curtain in shower, so you're essentially showering quite above the toilet which is getting wet, even if you put the lid down.

Plussat: Staff were amazing

Miinukset: Hard mattress

Plussat: The property is clean, with sufficiently large rooms, and all the basic facilities (but no kettle - although there is a hot water dispenser on the floor and a free coffee machine in the lobby). The bathroom was very nice, and had a generous supply of shampoo and body wash (which is a consideration if you need to shower more than twice a day due to the high heat and humidity). Staff were very nice and helpful. Finally, the price was great - very much worth the money.

Miinukset: There is no sidewalk access to the property from the front - you have to walk along the road (this is a motel, after all). There is a pleasant path going to the back of the property, but it is not terribly well sign-posted, and is not suitable for those with reduced mobility or with luggage (you need to jump over a little stream and take some irregular stone steps). There is nowhere nearby to have an early breakfast - you need to walk for 15 minutes or so to the nearest place which opens before 9.

Plussat: The facilities offerred.

Miinukset: please provide english speaker at any time. It is a little harder to communicate. Amenities like tea or coffee sachets were not available.

Plussat: good location

Miinukset: no breakfact

Plussat: Good access to attractions and restaurants. Staffs were very kind and provided really good services.

Miinukset: Everything was perfect

Plussat: I stayed here as it was close to the conference centre, HICO. Room and toilet was clean and decent size but hotel is run down - carpets in corridors were old with large stains

Miinukset: No bath towels. Only hand towels were provided. WiFi was not the best. No tea/coffee making facilities in the room or in the hotel. No breakfast provided in the hotel. No wardrobe to put clothes, no safe. Just a few hangers and pegs for clothes. I wouldn’t stay here or recommend this hotel.

Plussat: Price, staff

Miinukset: Good value, nice stay

Plussat: We liked the location. A lot of buses that connected you to different attractions was brilliant. The hotel staff let us drop off our luggage at the hotel after check out so we could sightsee.

Miinukset: When we arrived the first lady at the front desk was trying to argue with my friend regarding the price. She was asking why was it so cheap? We had the booking.com to prove I would be paying the Korean won equivalent of £25. She was not happy. This was really awkward as we never set the price. The air conditioner not powerful. I couldn’t sleep with the heat. We only had small towels that would only fit a baby. When we called for actual human size bath towels the guy at the front desk was arguing with my friend. They kind sent up 4 bath towels but only because my friend wouldn’t give up.

Plussat: super clean, decent value for the price, lots of space, free wifi, free toothbrushes, at least some of the front desk staff spoke english. The whole town is geared towards young couples escaping for the alone time, and this place was no exception--softcore channels, odd images of lingere all over the place and weird poorly translated romatic poems. The difference is that in america such a place would be filthy, but Time Motel was squeaky clean. If you need a clean place to stay with good access to central gyeongju, you won't be disappointed with time motel.

Plussat: The lobby and the view from the restaurant was great.

Miinukset: The hotel is in a need of remodeling. You can tell the hotel is very outdated, the room smells of an old hotel, and the walls are pretty thin.

Plussat: Beautiful location with stunning country views, about 20 mins away from the main sights of gyeongju, and a short walk from the temple complex. Large comfortable room. Pleasant sauna/hot spring bath. Decent western breakfast.

Plussat: the room was spacious, and comfortable, nice view.

Miinukset: the lighting in the room is`nt good, very week.

Plussat: Good location to visit Bulkuksa and Sukgulam! And surrounded by nature.

Miinukset: The hotel looks a bit older

Plussat: Food is great!!

Plussat: Location close to Temple

Miinukset: Hotel badly needs renovation

Plussat: Location everything was close by. Room was nice

Miinukset: We saw a Staff member only ones. Breakfast was quite disappointing.

Plussat: Free parking, easy check in / check out. The rest...ugh! (see below)

Miinukset: The breakfast room has a really nice view but is dirty, breakfast is made out of cheapest stuff - we skipped it. Rooms are REALLY small, no bed linen. Bath was ok but more thai quality. The hostel is REALLY hard to find by car and not really in walking distance of the main spots...overall an unpleasant stay.

Plussat: They accepted my request of a bottom bunk bed and they let me check in late at night. Also extended the check-out time for one hour for free. Spacious rooms, clean and comfortable beds with its own power source, light and courtains. There is an elevator to all floors, a big kitchen and also other common rooms. You can leave your luggage during the day after you check out for free in a locker. In general it is a spacious and comfy place. Beautiful views!!!

Miinukset: I arrived at night after a long trip, I needed to take a shower, but the body wash bottle was empty. The next morning it was the same. I went to the front desk twice to ask someone to refill it, but no one was there. They sell shampoo and conditioner (in booking.com it says it is included in the price). In any case, I couldn't buy them because they only had conditioner and again no one was at the desk. Luckily, a lovely guest saw me there struggling and gave me her shampoo, so I finally managed to get a shower, but it wasn't a proper one. The heater was too high, I sweated all night (I tried to lower ir but it was locked). The shared bathroom of the kitchen was dirty. The worst was the "included breakfast" which was none. I went to the kitchen almost an hour before the closing time for breakfast, and the only thing I could eat was a slice of bread that someone left untouched on its plate and the leftovers of jam. There was no milk (only 4 boxes for the whole hotel). They should provide enough amount of food according to the number of guests they have per night.

Plussat: The short walking distance to the train station and many convenience stores + a supermarket. The view from the roof terrace was very nice. The breakfast was decent if you came early enough.

Miinukset: The matress was extremely uncomfortable and hard. The bathroom was a bit dirty when we checked in. There were hairs on the toilet lid. Breakfast time was self-service from 8:00-9:00. They did not refill anything, so if you came around 8:15 nothing was left. We never saw anybody from the staff. There was always a sign saying "I will be back later.".

Plussat: The lockers were good.

Miinukset: Poor value for money compared to other hotels in Korea. No bottled water in the rooms. Was disturbed by hotel staff late at night.

Plussat: The location was fine.

Miinukset: There wasn't any staff at the front desk (we had to call to chek in). Breakfast was laughable (better bring your own). The whole hostel could be cleaned better. You needed to run the water for a long time first to be able to shower with hot water.

Plussat: So clean, free breakfast, free laundry!!

Miinukset: No real host although thats normal in Korea

Plussat: It was good for families

Miinukset: The breakfast area while had a good view didnt feel as clean.

Plussat: When he cleaned it the bathroom was nice.

Miinukset: Miserable reception man. Breakfast items had to be asked for instead of being out for us to use.

Plussat: Comfortable room. Nice breakfast. Very close to the Train station.

Miinukset: The shower took ages to warm up.
