Very convenient for the intercity bus station so a little further from the main tourist area (10 minute walk). Very nice to have a bath and the room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was not brilliant with little variety and very busy at weekends. A decent choice.

Second part of our family vacation touring South Korea and we chose here for the cultural heritage aspect. The free breakfast and the photo reviews we checked was a big factor in choosing this facility. Facilities were extremely modern and new. Unit also comes with a mini clothes steamer for your business needs which was a surprise. Breakfast is definitely a wow factor with so much variety and alternative options each day. Service was great and definitely will be 5 star review and return pick if coming back to Gyeongju.

Great place... Walking distance to restaurants, the tombs,... 2km away from the palace and pond. Bus station is next door. While great for travelling, it also means that you need to keep the windows closed.

High recommend hotel in excellent location

At first you may think that this hotel isn't in the right location but it really is just 2 minutes from the main street and a short walk to the rest of the city. We had a lovely room on the top floor, very clean and well appointed. Breakfast was included too. Our room had a steam cabinet for your clothes, a new experience for me!

Very nice hotel. Seems very new. The breakfast is a good value with a mix of Korean and Western food. The LG styler was interested. The main drawback is the staff's very limited English. Also, the location is next to both bus stations but not that close to the sites of interest.

Solo Traveler in Gyeongju

This is a brand new "business" hotel near the Inter-City Bus Station and it was a wonderful experience to stay here. The free morning breakfast was a bevy of Korean and Western food choices with a very friendly staff working the buffet-style breakfast. The only thing to know is that there is not a coin laundry on the premise, but there was a good Korean laundry near the hotel that would wash and dry your clothes for a reasonable price based on the weight of your laundry. Otherwise, this was a wonderful place to rest up after a long day of sightseeing in Gyeongju, and it was close to the bus terminals.
