    My one disappointment was that our room was in a back-of-the-property corner, so it did not offer any of the charming views we had seen on the fotos and had expected.

    The place is beautiful and centrally located amidst charming restaurants, cafes, stores and attractions.

    We wanted to try the futon experience in Korea, and two nights really was our maximum, but that is a personal feeling.

    Absolutely well located in the heart of Gyeongju, the staff was incredibly friendly and the place gorgeous.

    The location is quiet, although just off the main street with its many shops and restaurants. The site itself is very pretty, especially when lit up at dusk! Close to many sites of cultural interest, there's plenty to do on foot in the surrounding area! The staff are very friendly and helpful when needed.

    I think it was worth staying here for the overall experience and location! The grounds were lovely and clean, and the accommodation is directly in front of a cafe with a nice view and salt bread. The futons were a little firm, as expected, and there was some noise from neighbouring rooms in the mornings but everyone was respectful in the evenings. The rooms were very comfortable and had heated floors and good air conditioning and heating. It’s very easy to access all the attractions in the area from here, and we also found it easy to walk to and from the intercity bus station.

    Bit small, walls are also very thin. But good value for money, can't complain too much!

    Super cool to stay in a Hanok during our trip. Wouldn't stay here for more than a night though as the bedding is traditional style floor futons and very rigid pillows. The bathroom is also Korean traditional style where the shower, toilet, and sink are all one wet room. Loved the location, is right in a great walking neighborhood and super close to the tombs. Easy to get a taxi or uber to elsewhere in Gyeongju for other site seeing. They also have Hanboks for you to try on and wear on the property if you wish.

    Bathroom had a weird smell - Sink was a little mouldy - The lack of a proper table & couch made it a little uncomfortable to relax at the end of a long day—everyone just lay on the hard floor and huddled around the small table to eat our food

    Room was toasty, floor was heated, beds were AMAZINGLY comfortable - Free bottled water was really nice! - Staff were really friendly and helpful—they pointed out places to visit on a map and allowed us to keep our bags in the lobby till we had to leave! - The location is great, really near a street full of shops and things to eat and see - Place was really quiet, we couldn't hear anyone else

    Drainage in Toilet shower not good. It ‘floods’ just after a 5–10 mins shower. Booked the family room that can accommodate up to 8 persons, but 1 toilet. We have a large group, thus taking turns to use the toilet can be very long.

    Facilities are basic. Good experience with Hanok. They also have free hanbok rental. But I didn’t use it as I am out during the operation hours.

    Lovely historic property up dated with modern comforts.

    Coffee in the room would have been great, there was only tea. Also the little beanbag pillows were certainly more historic looking and worked okay for sleep, but it would have been nice to have some big fluffy ones to be able to prop up in the bed to watch TV.

    This beautiful and historic property is right in the heart of the area of preserved tombs of kings. It also is beside the busy tourist area of restaurants and shops so it's easy to walk to everything. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they even offered to take pictures of me in my hanbok on the property. You can rent hanbok there as well and for a small fee buy food to feed the koi in their little pond. They do have some English capabilities which was so helpful.

    Lovely stay in traditional Hanok style village

    If you are not used to the futon style bedding you may find it a little uncomfortable. I found it was good and the family slept well. The towels provided in the bathroom were more like hand towels than a bath towels. When I asked for larger towels they were provided one night but not the available the next. These are apparently typical sized towels in Korea though. It would have been great if they offered breakfast as nothing much opened locally until 9.30am-10am.

    This accomodation is in a traditional Hanok style village and it was central to many of the tumuli, transport and main shopping street. The staff were lovely. We were accidentally given a room for 3 which was smaller than what we booked but they quickly remedied this. They helped by giving a map and an orientation of good sights to visit as well as calling a taxi for us to get to the train station. The heated flooring was really nice to come back to after a cold day out and made sleeping on the futons very snug.

    Staff seemed a little unhelpful, flustered or annoyed at times when requesting a taxi, asking to store luggage on checkout and when lugging our luggage to the suite. The paths are more like stepping stones or cobbles so not easy for heavy large luggage

    Beautiful accomodation. Large suite with 1 large bed and traditional floor sleeping for 4. Pillows were little and felt fairly hard with beans, but were surprising comfortable to sleep with. Was a lovely way to have a more traditional experience. Location was great, within walking distance to all the major tourist spots
