Gyeongju Hostellit

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: 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.
