Hotels in Gyeongju

Positiv:: - Perfect location within walking distance from the center of Gyeongju (10 mins), a small train station (1 minute) and a bus stop with all the main busses that story (1 minute). - Very clean hostel with all the comforts: every bed has a curtain for more privacy, plug, light, little folding table; in the toilets there are some amenities and the showers are spacious! - Nice breakfast with coffee/tea, orange juice, toasted bread and... cereals! (I didn't have any in the other hostels I stayed in Korea). - SHARON, the girl who works there, is very passionate about her job and the city! She passionately and accurately gives you any travel info (directions, busses/trains, sights) and ensures you understand them! She is really full of resources! ^^ - I spent in the Blueboat Hostel Gyeongju 5 nights, and I was sad to leave!

Positiv:: Everything was great! It's close to Gyeongju station and the Bus terminal, it's clean and there is even a little breakfast buffet :)

Positiv:: 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!

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

Positiv:: 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 :)

Positiv:: 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!

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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!

Positiv:: Wie im Vorjahr war ich auch 2018 wieder Gast in diesem Hostel .Auch dieses Mal waren Service , Komfort und Leistung ganz ganz ausgezeichnet !

Negativ:: Alles war gut...keine Mängel festgestellt !

Positiv:: Breakfast was really good!

Positiv:: 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 :)

Positiv:: Nothing

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Durchdacht gebaut und freundliches Personal zu einem sehr guten Preis!

Positiv:: 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.

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

Negativ:: Nothing in particular.

Positiv:: Lage unmittelbar neben Gräbern. Läden + Restaurants in der Umgebung. Superschöne, grosszügige Sauna, im Zimmerpreis inbegriffen.

Negativ:: Zimmer/Fenster sind klein.

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

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: Good Situation.

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

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

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: The bed is too soft.

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: Das Hotel befindet sich zentral sehr nah am Bahnhof Gyeongju. Die innerstädtischen Sehenswürdigkeiten sind fußläufig erreichbar. Das Zimmer war sehr geräumig und modern eingerichtet. Das Personal war freundlich und half auch bei einer Tourbuchung. Frühstück für 2.000 Won war angemessen.

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

Positiv:: 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!

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

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

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

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: 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.

Positiv:: Das Hotel hat eine super Ausstattung, alle möglichen Kosmetika liegen bereit. Alles ist gepflegt. Man bekommt täglich neues Wasser. Es ist sehr nah am Busbahnhof und an vielen Bushaltestellen. Dadurch sind viele kleine Günstige Restaurants in der Nähe.

Negativ:: Unser wlan im Zimmer hat leider nicht funktioniert.

Positiv:: Mein Lieblingshotel in Südkorea! Sehr schöne komfortable Zimmer, freier Parkplatz im überdachten Hof, gute Lage, überdurchschnittliches Frühstücksbuffet (sogar mit 2 Sorten echter leckerer Marmelade im Glas).

Positiv:: Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, die auch sehr gut englisch sprechen. Schöne ruhige Lage. Zimmer super sauber. Morgens gab es ein reichhaltiges Frühstück.

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

Negativ:: 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

Positiv:: Everything so far.

Negativ:: Nil

Positiv:: Price - quality

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

Positiv:: 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!!

Negativ:: Nil

Positiv:: Location fantastic - near the bus/coach station so easy transport around the city. Also got a free lift to the KTX train station when we left - unexpected and very much appreciated - a big thank you to the owners! This service seems to be laid on if you spend more than 3 nights ta the hotel.

Negativ:: Breakfast is basic but good.

Positiv:: 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

Negativ:: 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)

Positiv:: By far, the best Hotel we had in Korea (and we had few). The first contact was not so great as the front desk guy just said that our room is not ready and we can leave the bags - then wandered off. But the evening guy was OK and afterwards we had no troubles checking-in/out. Spacious room with a big TV and a queen size bed. Toilette so you can do some make-up. Toilet separated from the bathtub - which was with a hydro massage option. Fridge with a free face mask and some small drinks. View from the window was not all that great but we didn't cared about it. Breakfast was a typical one (like in all Korea) but in addition we had a salad and some yoghurt - which was a nice surprise. Location is near bus terminal, but you don't hear any noise from it. All in all, we were sad that we only stayed there for one night. Recommended.

Negativ:: nothing

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

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

Positiv:: Everything was thought of

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

Positiv:: 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!

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: 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

Positiv:: Schoene Appartements in einer sehr gepflegten Anlage in ruhiger Lage mitten im Wald gelegen. Ruhe absolut. Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und extrem hilfsbereit. Auf Anfrage kann man auch in die Stadt gebracht werden. oder vom Bus abgeholt werden. Die Lage bietet sich fuer laengere Waldspaziergaenge an. Fuer Kinder besonders sicher da hier KEINE Autos fahren Das Fruehstueck war sehr lecker ebenso das koreanische BBQ.

Positiv:: Leider hatten wir nur eine Nacht gebucht aber wir wären gerne geblieben. Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen, die Wohnung war sehe sauber, der Garten und die Ruhe ein Traum. Das Frühstück war sehr liebevoll angerichtet und schmackhaft! Wir wären gerne länger geblieben! Thank you!

Negativ:: Uns hat alles gefallen!

Positiv:: Das Frühstück ist lecker. Die Appartments und die ganze Anlage sind gepflegt, liebevoll eingerichtet und sauber. Wer Ruhe sucht, um auszuspannen, ist hier gut aufgehoben.

Negativ:: Für einen touristischen Besuch der Stadt, ist es ein wenig weitab vom Schuss. Für die Lage ist es auch ein wenig zu teuer.

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

Positiv:: Nice place, lovely room decoration

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

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: The location and the clean environment of accommodation

Positiv:: In der Nähe Intercity Bus Station. Können entweder zu Fuß oder mit dem Bus zu verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Negativ:: Man muss sein eigenenes Frühstück machen und sein Geschirr waschen!

Positiv:: Friendly staff, comfortable room, close to the bus terminal

Negativ:: Breakfast would be better with some fruits and non-sugared cornflakes

Positiv:: Clean, bright room, nice DIY breakfast (fry your own eggs, toast, cereal, milk, juice, jam, coffee, tea). Location OK, very close to intercity busterminal, sights and old town at walking distance.

Negativ:: Everything was fine!

Positiv:: Fine hostel in Gyeongju, very close to the bus station and central location to reach the local sights. The check in process was very quick. Our room was spacious with Aircon, TV and ensuite. It was generally OK for the price.

Negativ:: The bathroom could have been cleaner and the bed sheets were very thin and scratchy. The breakfast was just OK but could definitely be improved.

Positiv:: The location of the guesthouse is really great. It is very close from the bus terminal and you can easily visit the old historical area by walking.

Negativ:: - Staffs don't speak much english so they might seem be rude but they are not. - Rooms are a bit small

Positiv:: Schönes Guesthouse auch Nachmittags kein Problem einen Kaffee zu Machen

Positiv:: They provide to you every day clean towels and water. The position and the price are good.

Negativ:: The room isn't really Clean.

Positiv:: Das Hotel ist modern und wirkt sehr neu. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Räume werden täglich gereinigt, sind gut ausgestattet und ausreichend groß.

Negativ:: Der Herd darf nur zum Braten der Frühstückseier verwendet werden. Und auch da darf man sich nur Spiegeleier machen.

Positiv:: Good location to get around the major sights

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

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

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

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

Positiv:: Breakfast is good, nice and clean hotel, great location and large rooms. They offer free laundry service.

Positiv:: Close to bus station. Eggs for breakfast.

Negativ:: All good.

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

Negativ:: Nada

Positiv:: We got an upgrade for free! :) There was a computer for guest use in the lobby, the room was big and had many amenities (hair dryer, lotions, shampoo, conditioner, fridge...), everything was clean

Negativ:: The bathroom was a little dated and there’s no bell in the lobby area to ring for the owner, so we had to wait a little. The most annoying thing however was the harsh lighting in the room, which is kind of like neon tubes: very bright and cold. So having the lights on was not very cozy - maybe the lightbulbs could be changed to a warmer, yellow light

Positiv:: The hotel is situated within a few minutes walk of the bus terminals, a large supermarket and most of the tourist attractions  (or the buses that will take you to them). The owner is a wealth of information and provided advice and maps for us. The room was clean, quiet, comfortable and had full blackout shutters. Luggage storage is available. One of the best places we've stayed at. Highly recommend.

Positiv:: The guy who checked us in was very welcoming and told us all the local sights of interest and the best ways to get there etc. Really great location so close to so many sights and the bus to get to things further out of town.

Positiv:: Owner seems nice.

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

Positiv:: I stayed only one night. But i wish I could stay longer. The host was really nice to me. Helped to reserve train ticket, and call the service center to make sure sure some imfo. And i left my luggage there for a long time. Good location. Comfort faciy. Highy recommend!

Positiv:: 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!

Positiv:: The owner is so helpful and friendly. It just makes my stay more memorable. Location is great too! Just minutes away from the express & intercity terminal bus. There’s a good korean BBQ restaurant right across the hotel too. Overall my stay experience was pleasant

Negativ:: Perhaps one small downgrade was the check in time. It’s too late, check in time was 4 pm. Perhaps if the owner would reconsider to revise the check in time earlier, it would be lovely.

Positiv:: Super-zentrale aber ruhige Lage für sowohl die historischen Attraktionen Gyeongjus als auch die eigentliche Innenstadt mit Märkten und Einkaufsstraßen. Einladender Empfangsbereich mit spontan gemütlicher Atmosphäre (Ghibli-Musik!). Sauberes, gut eingerichtetes Zimmer (Kühlschrank) mit großem Bett und schönem Bad. WLAN und technische Austtattung sehr gut. Obwohl eigentlich ohne Frühstück wurden Tee, Kaffee, heißes/kaltes Trinkwasser sowie Marmelade zur Verfügung gestellt (kostenlose Willkommensgetränke im Kühlschrank). Die Kommunikation auf Englisch war gut (auf Japanisch sogar sehr gut), man war immer sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Wir bekamen sogar eine ausführliche Einführung zu den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten und ihre Erreichbarkeit/Öffnungszeiten.

Positiv:: Der inhaber war super! Viel erzählt, gute vorschläge!!!

Negativ:: No telephones in the rooms, electronic locks nor room doorbells.

Positiv:: The host was very helpful, knowledgeable about the area, well prepared with maps showing the best places to visit. The rooms were spacious and comfortable.

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: It has great location and beautiful surroundings

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

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

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: 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

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

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

Positiv:: Große Auswahl beim Frühstück.

Positiv:: Friendly staff

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

Positiv:: Lage direkt am Convention Center, einfach für Geschäftsreisende zu erreichen. Ruhig gelegen. Pool sehr gut.

Negativ:: Der Übernachtungspreis ist einfach überteuert, auch das Frühstück.

Positiv:: none

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

Positiv:: comfort, breakfast, location

Negativ:: pricey

Positiv:: Gute Lage direkt am See, komfortable Betten, insbesondere nach einer Nacht in einem Hanok-Stay. Unsere Kids haben das Hotel sehr genossen.

Negativ:: Zu teuer für das, was man erhält. Wenigstens mussten wir für das Pool nicht bezahlen! Frühstück enorm überteuert.

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

Negativ:: 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....

Positiv:: The rooms were big and comfortable. We enjoyed having a lot of space. It was also right next to a convenient bus stop and it wasn't far to walk to the interesting parts of town.

Negativ:: It took a long time to be seen at the front desk and the staff refused to provide water for guests using the fitness centre.

Negativ:: I left clothes behind (forgot) and they were never found, when we called they said they did not have it. It was a bunch of stuff in a bag and a leather jacket.

Negativ:: Klimaanlage funktionierte nicht

Positiv:: Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichbar, sehr großes Zimmer und Bad

Negativ:: Liebloses und unterdurchschnittliches Frühstück, unfreundliches Personal

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: 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

Negativ:: 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 ☹️

Positiv:: Given the very reasonable price of this hotel, we were pleased with it. The room was spacious, and location was excellent, right next to the bus stop, and just along the road from the park entrance. The breakfast was very good too - they even had Earl Grey Tea!

Negativ:: The recliner chair in the room was old and a bit saggy, and got in the way. The scrambled eggs at breakfast were cold. And the bathroom could use a handrail and space to put toiletries. These are minor complaints!

Positiv:: Location, cleanliness, spacious room and huge bathroom.

Negativ:: Check in - had to wait more than 1 hour.

Positiv:: 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!

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

Positiv:: Good location to base ourselves and get around to places we wanted to see and place to eat. Desk staff helpful with locations and taxi assistance

Negativ:: Rooms we clean but some parts starting to show age and bed was a bit hard but nothing major overall

Positiv:: Die Unterkünfte hatten eine Regendusche und eine separate Wanne. Es war geräumig und preiswert.

Negativ:: Ein schweres Erdbeben traf die Gegend und sie hatten keinen guten Notfallplan. Ich hoffe, dass dies ein weckruf für die Schulung ihres Managements in allen Situationen ist.

Positiv:: fresh air and enviroment

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

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

Positiv:: Cleanliness, space and facilities of the room

Negativ:: -

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

Negativ:: 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

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

Positiv:: Good location, clean and spacious room

Negativ:: 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.

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

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

Positiv:: Amazing location, very nice staff, overall the room was in good condition

Positiv:: Direkte Lage zu einem Teil der Königsgräber. Gute Parkmöglichkeiten. Kostenfreie Getränke

Negativ:: Bezahlung per Kreditkarte wäre angeblich mit Zusatzkosten verbunden gewesen. Kaffeemaschine in der Lobby funktionierte nicht so richtig

Positiv:: Excellent value. Good location. Huge room. Brilliant bath.

Negativ:: Definite ex-love-hotel vibe.

Positiv:: Zentrale Lage für das Stadtzentrum, alles andre muss sowieso mit Bus oder PKW gemacht werden.

Positiv:: Location is good and they had free parking.

Negativ:: 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.

Negativ:: No reception service

Positiv:: Great location

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Kein Frühstück in einem Motel, also stellen Sie keine zutreffende Frage, auf die es keine Antwort geben kann.

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: Kindly clean good location

Negativ:: Breakfast was not included

Positiv:: Die Dusche und die Betten waren für koreanische Verhältnisse sehr gut, hervorragender Wasserdruck und die Betten ausnahmsweise mal nicht hart wie ein Brett!

Negativ:: Wir hatten das Hotel aufgrund dessen ausgewählt, dass dort ein Pool vorhanden ist. Zu unserer Überraschung sollte die Benutzung des Pools dann nochmalig 11.000 Won kosten und das, obwohl keinerlei Liegemölichkeiten vorhanden waren und man im Pool auch noch eine Badekappe (back to the 70th) tragen sollte!

Positiv:: grosses Frühstücksbuffet. Gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Sauber. Sauna, Convenience Store, freundliches Personal.

Negativ:: Lage ist nicht so zentral, und vor allem im Winter gibt es wenig ums Hotel herum zu sehen. Busanbindung ok, aber meist war Taxi notwendig, da weit bis ins Zentrum mit den Sehenswürdigkeiten und Busfrequenz nicht gerade sehr gut. Das Hotel liegt in einer Tourismuszone, wo es ausser Amusement Parks und Tonnenweise Betonklötze und Parkplätze nichts gibt. Überallhin muss man 30 Min Bus oder 15 Min. Taxi fahren. Ein Shuttle der verschiedenen Hotels ins Zentrum oder zur KTX Station wäre gut. Eines der gebuchten Zimmer stank nach Rauch. Auch sonst roch man im Flur des öfteren Rauch. Entweder gibt es Raucherzimmer, oder das Hotel nimmt es nicht so streng mit der Durchsetzung des Rauchverbots. Die Zimmer sind schon etwas abgenutzt, aber sauber bis auf den schimmligen Duschvorhang. ABer für 60$ pro Nacht pro Zimmer ok.

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

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Staff vert kind Room is large Breakfast is good

Positiv:: Convenient store

Negativ:: Not yet found

Positiv:: lake view is very beautiful

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

Negativ:: Nothing

Positiv:: 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.

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

Negativ:: 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)

Positiv:: 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.

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

Negativ:: No

Positiv:: 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!

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: friendly staff, big room, clean.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: spa center and location. Breakfast buffet is very nice, good selection and reasonably priced. Children eat for free.

Negativ:: No coffee making facilities in room, just two bottles of water. Rated as five star but it actually is only 3. Nothing bad about it but definitively not a five star room or facility. Prices match a 3 start hotel and guests get a 50% discount for pool and sauna.

Positiv:: Breakfast buffet was good

Negativ:: Room was little bit small

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

Positiv:: Such nice staff! I felt very welcomed when i arrived and whenever i needed help they were there and just so accomodating. The room was big and clean, so was the bathroom. Heat blanket in the bed was so cosy. Bulguksa temple was right around the corner.

Negativ:: Really close to Bulguksa temple but not much else. I suppose i arrived off season, but i had trouble finding open restaurants. In fact, I walked around for like 20 minuts and only saw like 3 people.

Positiv:: Cost and cleanliness

Negativ:: Old computer software. Hard bed.

Positiv:: + 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.

Negativ:: - 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.

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

Positiv:: Nice Korean style interior

Negativ:: 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

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: - 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

Negativ:: Nothing

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

Negativ:: Mosquitoes

Positiv:: It's near to landmarks such as Cheongsomdae and other tourist attractions nearby this ancient observatory. If you want to go to Bulguksa Temple and Seokguram Grotto, there's a bus stop directing to those two locations near the hotel. Staying at Sarangbang makes you experience a little bit of how to live in Korean traditional house.

Positiv:: 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.

Positiv:: Gute Lage, freundliches Personal und saubere Zimmer

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: Quiet, fresh air, good breakfast

Negativ:: People drunk outside late at night on a weekday

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

Negativ:: Nothing.

Positiv:: geräumige Zimmer

Negativ:: Frühstücksbüffet mit beschränktem Angebot

Positiv:: 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.

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

Positiv:: Nichts.

Negativ:: Die Lage war ausgesprochen schlecht. Man musste zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten häufig ein Taxi nehmen, das dann zwischen 11-20 Euro einfach kostete. Damit erhöhte sich der Zimmerpreis immens. Das Personal war gelangweilt, desinteressiert. Das Zimmer war für den Preis zu klein. Der Teppich wurde nicht gesaugt. Die Zimmer waren sehr hellhörig. Am Wochenende war die Hölle los und an Schlaf nicht zu denken. Wenn man das Fenster aufmachte, roch es nach altem Fett. Als wir den Nachmittag am Pool (ohen Wasser) verbrachten, wurden wir nicht bedient und bekamen auch auf Anfrage kein Getränk.

Positiv:: 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

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Clean

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

Positiv:: Everything is good

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

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

Positiv:: Everything

Negativ:: N/A

Negativ:: Smoking in rooms comes through vents and is extremely unpleasant

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: Staff were amazing

Negativ:: Hard mattress

Positiv:: Die Lage war gut

Negativ:: Kein Service keine neuen Handtücher keine Reinigung bei 3 Nächten

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: The facilities offerred.

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

Positiv:: good location

Negativ:: no breakfact

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

Negativ:: Everything was perfect

Positiv:: 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.

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: The hotel has great facilities such a kitchen with a common area and a gym. The double room was spacious with a clean bathroom and tube.

Negativ:: Far from the central part of the city.

Positiv:: 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.

Positiv:: Fast alles

Negativ:: Das Reinigungspersonal war ein bisschen unkonzentriert, einmal fehlten die Handtücher, am ersten Tag die Sanitärartkel wie Seife, Duschgel usw.

Positiv:: Lage

Negativ:: An der Rezeption war es diesmal ziemlich schwierig sich mit Englisch zu verständigen. Handtücher zum Duschen fehlten erstmal

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

Negativ:: 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.

Positiv:: 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.

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

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

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

Negativ:: The hotel looks a bit older

Positiv:: Food is great!!

Positiv:: Perfekte Lage. Preisleistungsverältnis in Ordnung.

Negativ:: Parkplätze schwierig zu ergattern. Personal unbeholfen und nicht hilfsbereit. Fenster nicht geputzt. Renovierungsstau. Heizung nicht herunterregelbar.

Positiv:: Location was great, walking distance to Bulguksa and Seoguram temples

Negativ:: The hotel seems quite old, internet was not working neither in our room nor in the lobby

Positiv:: Location close to Temple

Negativ:: Hotel badly needs renovation
