"We've stayed at this property twice now, and it was a beautiful experience both times. I don't think I can ever stay anywhere else if I return to Gyeongju! The hanok is beautifully built in traditional fashion, which is not common as most hanok hotels are modern buildings decorated to look traditional, and extremely clean and comfortable. We slept so well there, and woke up to soft sunlight gently filtering through the paper screens. The owners are the loveliest people you can imagine, speak excellent English and are so kind and helpful that you truly feel welcome. I travel a lot and stay at many hotels, and this is one of my favourite places in the world!"

"make sure u dont arrive exactly at the checkin time as there is a huge line on the weekends and you have to wait voer 20mins to check in"

"The only room available for our stay had beds. Unfortunately these completely filled the room and you literally had to suck it in and squeeze around them. The bathroom was tiny. It was also located in the middle at the beginning of a communal hallway, so there was no privacy if you wanted to leave the breezeway doors open to look at the garden or catch some fresh air. Breakfast was interesting. You weren’t asked what you wanted, tea and coffee were just put in front of you. I don't drink either so basically a waste. It consisted of a bowl of cherry tomatoes, 2 pieces of toast, jam and a cream sandwich that again was put in front of you. No discussion or choice apart from not eating in. After that i just went to the local convenience store and bought some boiled eggs. Rooms are not made up each day but every second day. Towels are the annoying small Korean version. We had to ask for more towels each day. The Stay itself looked beautiful, the garden a delight but the wailing cat not so much. Parking is on the road out front and protected by bollards that you just move. The road is basically one way and you exit via a large car park at the end. The location of this property is excellent. Just a minute from the main road and about a 2 minute stroll to the observatory. Of all the accommodation we stayed at this was the most expensive of our trip but to me the most disappointing as i was expecting more given the price point, and although beautiful, I didn’t think it delivered."

"Nice hotel and very walkable to the city."

"Quaint and quiet place to stay. Beautiful room and kind staff"

"Nice clear room. Good location. Poor breakfast"

"A comfortable hotel close to Gyeongju's main attractions."

"Staffs are polite & helpful. Breakfast is OK. Room is clean but lacking amenities. We had to go out to buy toothbrushes & toothpaste. A/C control seems not working well. Seems like A/C is automatically adjusted by itself instead of adhering to manual settings. "

"We had a room with the lake view and it was so beautiful throughout the day and night. Room was spacious and clean. Walking around the lake was great at any time of the day. Just beautiful!! The only thing I would ask the hotel to improve is the bathroom lighting. There’s only one light and it was too dark for ladies’morning makeup rituals. There’s no other proper mirrors in the room for an alternative. We had a lunch Buffett and it was pricey but well worth it. The quality of the food options were exceptional. It was a great stay and Kyeongju is now my favorite city in Korea!"
