    Nothing I can recall

    Well-designed,comfortable room in coolly stylish new build alongside the inter-city bus terminal and two minutes from the Express Bus Terminal (for longer distance services); loved trying out the LG Styler for refreshing and steaming clothes. Gyeongju is a delightful city around the tumuli parks, some ten minutes walk away.

    Staff was not very friendly. Was a bit surprised by the bugspray in our room. Towels had big holes and need to be replaced. Too expensive for what you get.

    Conveniently located, walking distance to major sightseeing. Our room was big, basic but mostly clean. Breakfast was good.

    Spacious and clean room. Bathroom is nice. LG Styler is a nice bonus. Bed is comfortable. Breakfast is amazing :) Location is very good! Walkable distance to many attractions. We didn't take bus or taxi during our one day in Gyeongju, we just walked everywhere. Right behind the bus terminal which takes you to Busan. Overall a good stay.

    The neighborhood of the hotel is a bit on the outskirts of the main areas due to its proximity to the train station. This did not bother me because I was with a companion, but I might feel a bit uncomfortable traveling alone at night as a woman.

    Really nice hotel in a great town with parking. It was easy to walk into the central areas of Gyeongju and the hotel was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff were very helpful, wifi worked great and the breakfast was delicious.

    This hotel was a little pricey compared to other hotels we stayed in Korea, but it was very convenient and a very comfortable stay.

    The location close to the main bus station of the city (useful for arrival and departure), and only 10min walk to the city centre. The breakfast was included in the price and offered a large range of choices. The staff was very kind.

    More fruit with breakfast; fruit ran out, but was very good when there was some.

    Breakfast was hearty with focus on Korean breakfast but enough Western food to get by if you are not into Korean breakfast food Parking was free and very convenient. People were friendly Room was spacious, quiet (despite the fact that our room was facing the bus terminal/station). Check out was late enough, so we could visit the Tumuli and Observatory in the morning, take a 2nd shower after a sweaty experience (a bit of a walk in the summer heat) and still check out on time.

    We booked a suite with a balcony for two nights. When we entered the room, there was a very unpleasant smell. We asked for a room change. We were given a room without a balcony. The new room also smelled badly, but it was not as bad as the first one. We had a very poor night due to the smell. We could not statand to stay another night at this hotel, so we cut our visit short.

    The only thing I liked about this hotel was the location.

    Breakfast is okay but not special. No real atmosphere in hotel as no social place. Laundry not working but very good coin laundry near by.

    Great location near Express Bus Terminal which means that it is also on the number 11 bus route, which goes to most of main monuments. Many similar hotels in area. It is also near the main tourist area near tumuli park which is where you will probably head for food and shopping. Rooms are good.

    We had a balcony room, it was unpleasant to sit on as it had tall, metal walls. Very claustrophobic. Our room safe was already locked, we asked for it to be opened and it didn't happen. There is no glassware for drinks in the room.

    Location, right next door to the bus interchange and taxi rank. Size of the room was excellent.
