My room decor was terrific with stylish furnishings. Most hotel amenities were excellent but showering towels are tiny. The neighborhood is convenient but inelegant. Definitely rent a bicycle nearby to explore city when not on a tour.

The first thing to remember is that Sugar Hotel is an inexpensive option for those wanting to experience the amazing history of Gyeongju. Our room was large and clean, the bathroom well fitted out and we slept well. The staff were also welcoming and friendly, although their English was limited. As other reviews have pointed out, the Sugar Hotel likely had a former life as a 'love hotel' and this is reflected in the decor. It also has some interesting amenities, including a functional dry-cleaning cabinet! But this makes it interesting and quite a contrast to the Silla Dynasty tombs of Gyeongju. The hotel is an easy walk to the bus terminal, one of the main markets and some of the historic sites, including the Hanok village. The only downside was the breakfast. While everything was fresh and properly presented, it was also very limited and not always hot.

Good value and convenient
Located very close to the intercity and local bus terminals and walkable to the start of the tomb area and Hancock village. The area was populated with motels, small restaurants, pc bangs and hostess bars - but hardly the red light district as others have suggested. We felt very safe and it was quiet at night. The hotel had a 1970s vibe with dark devour in the corridors but the room was brightly lit, huge and included a pc, clothes steamer and huge TV. There wasn't a plug for the jacuzzi bath and we weren't there long enough to request one so don't know if it worked. Breakfast was basic but filling - bread, fruit, yoghurt, salad, fries, sausage and scrambled egg. BHC opposite and plenty of nearby convenience stores nearby.

It is an average hotel located in an entertainment district. The rooms are a bit worn down. The staff at the reception is not very attentive. However it is OK for a couple of nights if the room rates are reasonable at the time of booking.

Pretty good
Good location, quite close to bus terminal and not far from lots of the must-see historical spots around Gyeongju. The hotel itself is nice, the rooms relatively spacious with decent amenities. It is family run and reasonably friendly. The complimentary breakfast was dreadful and as a result skipped out on it for most of our stay.

Great for the price paid
Clean and huge room. Huge TV and even a very large bath. For some reason though, they only provide medium sized towels, and not bath-sized ones. There's free Netflix shows included, but the interface is in Korean so I gave up quickly. Welcoming staff, they checked me in ahead of time at no charge. Bed is ok, Korean style (hard), but all pillows are made for people who sleep on their back and as reported by others there's a plastic sheet between the mattress and the mattress cover - made me sweat a lot while sleeping. When I arrived they had underfloor heating on - I really dislike that in Korea as unluckily it seems it can't be regulated. The room for me was way too warm. The window opened on a fried chicken restaurant so you can't keep it open overnight for fresh air. There's AC but it will be working crazy loudly against the underfloor heating - better surrender and pretend it's Summer. 2 laundry machines free to use if you stay for 2 nights or more which is very nice - but bring your google translator app as they provide usage instructions, but they're incomplete. Basic breakfast included - yogurt, eggs, small sausages, fries, salad, some grapes, bread and butter/jam. I just wish they used warmed up food holders, as both the eggs and the sausages were almost cold. The location is great as it's just a few steps away from the two bus stations and the information office for tourists. Several restaurants nearby as well. Overall very good for the price paid.

Hotel was older style but clean. It’s near the bus station so easy to arrive from the KTX or by bus, but needed to walk 10-15 min for any nicer restaurants. They offered free use of laundry machines which was appreciated on a long trip! Breakfast was good (eggs, toast, salad, yogurt, fruit), but we had to pick a time slot to eat the day before which didn’t allow for flexibility. This was fine for us but something to note. All the towels in the room were small hand towels - larger towels for showering were not offered, nor were robes. Again not a big problem, just something to note as unusual for a Westerner. :)

Country side love hotel standard. Sign shown:3 star hotel! Upon entry oily smell. Too much frying, kitchen behind registration counter. Aircon sticky dust stains and not functioning properly, plus bedsheet has semen stain. Paid extra for room at second photo but was given cheaper room at first photo. Hotel manager refused to transfer us to second room in photo. After my spouse quarrelled with him, then he decided to change a cleaner room. Bathroom shower and sink old, no lighting. Sinking into toilet seat, as compartment so tight, door in front of face. We were in discomfort, as we are tired, and it was late, no choice, didn’t shower and went to sleep. Free breakfast not true. We came in 5 mins before nothing left and manager in charge cleared everything in front of us! Morning we requested refund for second day, turned us down. Assistant says will get Owner to call us, but nothing!

The hotel is within walking distance of the bus stations, which is extremely convenient. Breakfast (toast, salad, sausage and eggs, coffee/tea vending machine) is offered every day. Lots of toiletries and drinks are provided in the room and are replenished daily. Staff are very friendly. Cons: my shower had a slight leak and my air conditioner produced a significant amount of condensation, to the point where I had to put towels/trash can underneath to catch the water. Netflix is available on the TV but you'll have to log in under your own account as the hotel's is a shared one and doesn't allow multiple users to watch at the same time. Overall, I think this is a good value for money if staying in Gyeongju.

Fantastic hotel with friendly and attentive staff. We paid a little more (about £20 more overall) for the deluxe double room and it was well worth it. The bed was very comfy and the bath was huge! Free breakfast had something for everyone and was tasty. The hotel managers and front desk staff were so nice and welcoming. Thank you for a lovely stay.
