    A bit farther than I expected to the main areas to visit, but still within walking distance. The breakfast was very good, but the breakfast room is small.

    Good size room, wifi, and good breakfast. Very convenient lockers for leaving our luggage. All the advanced information from the hotel was useful and appreciated.

    That we only stay for one night 😔

    Absolutely Fantastic – A Perfect Stay! This hotel was an absolute gem from start to finish! The rooms were incredibly modern, spotless, and beautifully designed — a real treat after a long day of exploring. The bathroom was spacious and luxurious, complete with a relaxing bathtub that felt like a mini spa experience. The staff truly went above and beyond. Everyone we encountered was warm, professional, and eager to help with anything we needed — from local recommendations to assisting with transport. You can really feel they care about their guests. One lovely surprise was the complimentary noodles available in the evening — such a thoughtful touch, especially when you're too tired to go out again. Breakfast was excellent as well, with a wide selection that covered everything you could want — both Western and local options, all fresh and delicious. Best of all, the hotel is just a short walk from the historical district, which made it easy to explore without needing transport. I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended, and I would absolutely stay here again!

    Breakfast was nothing special. More fruits would have been nice.

    Good location and excellent cleanliness. Complimentary ramen was excellent. I liked their lockers that could be used before and after check out. It was very quiet as well.

    The toilet seat is not separated from the showering area which make the area wet when we shower.

    The breakfast was amazing and the lounge had cup noodles and drinks at night where you can take it for free and enjoy the food. The room was of high quality and the bathtub was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful too. The hotel is near place of interest in Gyeongju.

    There wasnt a cup for the toothbrush and the matrassas with the plastic Cover was a little bit uncomfortable. For a few nights its okay.

    The room was big and a big TV. The bathroom was nice with a bathtub. And they provided Slippers, which was very nice. The breakfast was good.

The staff were great, super friendly and helpful A buffet breakfast included Large room, spotlessly clean as was the whole hotel.

    If there is a way to use to shower without getting the bathroom floor wet, we have not found it.

    The location is pretty good. You need to walk a bit to some attractions, but you are literally walking through parks. The staff was really nice. And (for once) the actual rooms are nicer, than the pictures.

    We arrived about 1pm. Still this strict policy, without any discretion, to be fixed on check in time. I get it but as a traveller you loose a whole day.

    Location (although 35min bus ride from KTX), roomy, good enough breakfast, obliging friendly staff ( removed plastic mattress protector at my request due to skin problem). Note that most of the tombs and places of interest are still quite a walk away. Food market just down the street and convenience CCU store next door.

    Sheets on the bed are plastic backed, which made sleeping somewhat uncomfortable especially when it was a bit warmer. Breakfast was fairly basic.

    Great location - very close to the tombs, excellent coffee shops, a wonderful cocktail bar and good bus links. Staff very friendly. Laundry machines easy to use. Room and bathroom were much bigger than the average for Korea. Plenty of bottled water available too.

Great included breakfast: plentiful ramen choices, eggs, fruit, croissants, packaged baked goods. Big clean room; but glass door/walls for bathroom and only hand towels for bath towels. Plastic sheet on mattress Lockers to store suitcases before and after checkin/ checkout

    There was no closet, only clothes rack with four hangers, but that is usual thing in Korean hotels. This hotel was above our expectations, we have no complaints! We were very satisfied!

    The room looked exactly as on photos, large and clean, with a lot of light, with nice smart tv and mosquito nets. The bathroom was very nice, spacious and with separate bathtub. The location was great, 2 minutes walk to the main road with bus stops. Breakfast was as described by previous guests: cornflakes, tost, butter, jam, cheese, eggs, warm croissants, fried rice, noodles, some fruit, milk, juice. There is a microwave if you like warm milk. We didn't expect buffet breakfast so we were very satisfied especially when compared to other hotels in Korea that we visited. Everything was clean, the staff was friendy.

    The hotel is well located for visiting the historic area with the Silla barrows and the Silla tomb information center a leisurely 3min walk away. The hotel is modern & very clean. The rooms are spacious and the bathroom had a shower & a jacuzzi. Breakfast was good, but places in the 2 breakfast rooms are a limited. The rooms were surprisingly warm for April & the remote for the Airco was not in the rooms. Which is not an issue in April , but hopefully they make it available in summer.
