    Best stay in Gyeonju, amazing hotel

    Our room was wonderful, spacious, clean, new and extremely confortable. Amazing private swimming pool that was a big plus after a hot summer day. Free breakfast was included (a tasty sandwich and a baverage) in the cafè nearby. Top location close to main attraction of Gyeonju. Highly raccomended.

    That I had to leave it at the end of my stay.

    Everything: clean, spacious, modern, comfy as hell, great staff anticipating needs before I even had them, good location, luxurious, nice bath tub and shower. Awesome breakfast sandwich. Would go back just for that.

    Pro tip - they will ask you if you want a sandwich for breakfast. Make sure you tick it only if you plan to eat it. We were late for our tour so we left without picking it up and received a text saying that we made it for you and since you didn't eat it, we have to dispose it, asking if they should cancel our order for the next day.

    The room had an exquisite hinoki bathtub inside it, as well as a steam closet. The room was very comfy. It even came with a complementary bottle of wine.

    The water in the swimming pool was very cold, so we could not enjoy it as we wanted. All the windows in the room were facing walls, so no air ventilation at all (but the aircon was good)

    The room was as spacious as it looks, including the swimming pool. Everything was clean and comfortable. Very good position near to main attractions in Gyeongju.

    The location was perfect if your goal.is to see the museum.withiut walls. The staff were very concietentious and friendly. They ensured we had everything we needed and connected with us on what's app in English to ensure our stay was perfect. The pool annex was incredible as the heat topped 35 degrees and so it was very welcome to be able to cool down after walking around the sites!

    Very spacious, stylish room with wooden bathtub. Small breakfast was included in the price. Accommodation is close to the sights and various restaurant options.

    Somewhat rule bound staff. Silly restrictions on amount or type of coffee included in little breakfast in a so-called cafe. Hard to see why.

    Well located yet entirely away the tourist saturated area which was a relief. Very commodious room.

    The hinoki tub, while nice and hot, was sort of uncomfortable, since it’s basically a block of wood without a headrest, but I guess that’s how they are designed. Green exit sign in doorway kind of bright at night

    Very clean, fancy room, nice and spacious, friendly staff

    Breakfast option didn’t cater for gluten free.

    Love the location, very close to the centre of town- hwangridan gil is a very fun street nearby with lots of restaurants and souvenir shops. Good restaurants nearby and market not far away. I loved the hinoki bath tub which was great for relaxing after a long day walking around the sights of Gyeongju. Amazing town and amazing hotel.

    Mostly details, as we really appreciated the room and hotel. The room would have been perfect for two people. However, our 15-year-old daughter had to sleep on a thin mattress on the floor, which we hadn’t anticipated. Another issue was the very bright emergency exit sign in the entrance area of the room. While my wife and daughter weren’t bothered by it, I had trouble falling asleep due to how illuminated the room was. We ended up covering it with a towel on the second night to reduce the brightness.

    Very central, very clean. The room was very large, with a traditional bathtub (that we didn’t use). They offer a delicious sandwich in the morning. Great value for money.

    We had a room with an annex pool - it was annoying to hear running water sound all the time. And to ne honest, we didn’t see much value of the swimming pool, as it is very shallow. Relaxing Jacuzzi with warm water would be much nicer :) In the beginning we did not find large size towels, they brought them only when we asked for them.

    Good location, very modern, clean, helpful staff.

    It was not a problem - but just a note for other visitors, the jacuzzi rooms have a luxurious large wooden bathtub, not what we would call a jacuzzi in the UK.

    We loved the style of the room and how spacious it was. Also had an excellent coffee from the ground floor cafe.

    Very comfortable and spacious room. We didn’t use the pool as it wasn’t very warm and it was quite cool in the evenings when we were in Gyeongju. Close enough to walk to the sites but without being in the super busy area.

    Staff was friendly and communicated in advance via WhatsUp, which made the experience go smoother. Room is new and clean. Amazing location to the major sites walkable from the room. Also main bus line for temples is only a few meters away. The bath was also a nice touch Bed is a little firm as other reviewers mentioned. Also one other nit picky item is the windows don’t have a great view which explains the covering. Overlooks some mess between buildings
