    Great and peaceful hostel, close to main attractions of the city. The manager of the hostel and staff were very helpful and kind. Everything was clean and part of the hostel seemed to be brand new or freshly renovated. Beds were comfortable with huge lockets under them so even very big luggage could fit in. Breakfasts were delicious and everything you needed was provided (huge plus for possibility to make your own scrambled eggs).

    I think for men just one toilet is not enough.

    Mattress is a bit though. You feel the strings. Towels could be a liiiiitle bit bigger.

    Good location, near buses and bus terminal. Hostel was clean and the staff helpful.

    The bed was a tad too hard for my liking.

    Convenient location, good and simple breakfast. Clean and tidy rooms. Received very warm and hospitable service as well with an upgrade provided to us when the service staff saw my group squeezed into one of the smaller rooms.

    If I had to pick something the room was maybe a tiny bit stuffy. Oh and no lift, only stairs. Struggled a bit with my bad back but not too bad as it's only 1 floor.

    Loved this hostel. Charming, quiet, welcoming and calming. Much like the town of Gyeongju. Big and comfortable beds, clean and fresh everything including showers and toilets. Good location to access all the good bits of town. Great breakfast of eggs(which you can cook however you like), cereal, bread, nuts, etc. But my favourite was the lovely and kind man behind reception who went out of his way to organise a way for me to watch a golf tournament!

    Common bathrooms are quite small, so it can be quite crowded in the morning.

    Beds are comfortable, breakfast delicious, on a convinient location near the main park and tombs.

    Personally, checking in was really easy although I missed the chance to chat with someone at the reception on arrival. but that's no reason to down grade my stay. It was perfect.

    Blueboat was the perfect guesthouse place to stay and spend time in Gyeongju.. close to local cultural areas and a local bus away to the express bus station and museums.. although I walked everywhere with no problem..nothing is that far, including the main town. Breakfast was great and everywhere was very organized and clean.

    Nothing really. They could add a towel to use. Maybe the fact that it's self check in, because you can't ask questions about what to do, but they reply to messages, so no problem.

    Fantastic little place. Clean, beautifully designed, good location, easy check in. Super nice place. Recommend 100% ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    Only one toilet per sex, so sometimes you had to wait for tour turn. Also not really any space to hang your clothes and towel in or out of the shower.

    A good location, comfortable beds and a nice common area. Everything was clean. There's leg massagers available, which are nice to use after a long day.

    We stayed in a private room with 3 people. We had an amazing stay. The staff was very friendly, and the property had everything you needed. If you come by KTX, the bus stops at a 2 min walk from the hostel. It’s a 5-10 min walk from the Daereungwon-tombs, from where you can start your walking tour, seeing all the highlights of Gyeonju. There’s also a 7/11 right across the street. Even if the host was not at the reception area, you could reach him by WhatsApp, opened on a computer on the counter. The included breakfast was wonderful as well. After check-out, you can store your bags (for free!) in the bakery on the groundfloor.
