I highly reccomend this hotel! The staff was super helpful and kind, the room was spacious, clean and comfortable and breakfast gave a lot of options to choose from. The hotel is right next to both bus stations and tourist information, as well as several convenience stores, and most atractions are near by.

Expect confusion in the room on light switches, lighting options, remote controls, a/c and heating settings. All the hotels near the top tourist sites are crammed into a run-down local neighborhood (added to our ambience) but the area, like all of Korea, is extremely safe night and day.

Great location. You can rent bikes down the street for $6 USD/day and return them at 9 pm. Bicycles can get you to all the main sites without advanced skill, though 15 minute ride-segments to reach it all. We didn't use taxis except to the Bulguksa Buddhist temple about 20 minutes outside of town, definitely worth the trip. Room is clean, breakfast gives a variety of Korean & western options, coffee machine available 24 hours/day. Don't miss the local market (Jungang), with night food stalls from 6-11 pm. $9 buys you a plastic tray with 4 options from different stalls, amazing variety of Korean delicacies. Small rooms, no facilities, doesn't matter because it's a comfortable room to sleep and you'll be out on this UNESCO museum of a city all day anyway. We've been twice and checked out other comparable hotels, nothing came close. For the average tourist, two nights covers this city well, one night is not enough.

Great hotel, only 5mins walking to the bus station which was very convenient to arrive/leave the city (note that the train station is a bit further away) but at the same time very quiet street where you can hear anything from the road There are several places to eat around the hotel. Main tourist attractions were 15mins walking from the hotel but it's a nice walk through the main street. As a plus, the room had a LG Styler to refresh/clean your clothes which is a nice touch! Bathroom very nice as well, we had a bath instead of shower but it was still nice

The room in the Rivertain Hotel is bigger than most hotels I stayed in Korea. It is very clean and quiet. The steam closet in the room is very useful after we had BBQ! The hotel is located in an area where you can find convenience stores and restaurants right at the corner. It's about a 15 minute walk to Gyeongju historical sites. We loved their breakfast too!

Room not too big. Too much smelly air freshener.

Very good hotel for a three stars hotel. Good location with a parking in relatively walking distance from most sites. Clean equipped room. Satisfying breakfast.

The step-up to the bathroom is sth to beware for senior citizens. A non-slip mat provided for the shower area will minimize accidental slips & fall

Location was gd, easy to get to various places of interest and lots of food stuff nearby. Breakfast was top-notch with spread of Korean food and western food - really enjoyed it.

Very good business hotel next to the bus station, yet the nice rooms are very quiet. Convenient location walking distance to many places - and buses or cheap taxis right downstairs. Great town with lots of history, hiking and good food!

Nothing really (except for the fact that the KTX station is actually a bit outside of the town, which means that it is also a bit far from the hotel).

The breakfast buffet was marvellous, with a LOT of dishes to choose from and the best part of it is that some of the dishes changed daily. The location was also great, just next to the express bus terminal and close to many shops and restaurants. One of the main highlights was the styler machine in the room. We all loved it.

The staff spoke barely enough English for checking in and out, but no more than that.

Spotless, brand new building. Everything was new and shiny. The room was large and spacious, great linen and towels. Large bathtub and stand in shower. Excellent location for historic sites and adjacent to bus station. Solid breakfast buffet with a dozen warm dishes. Quiet and well insulated room.

Staff at the reception offer CERO advice on what to do, where to go or any other interesting information for us to visit. I guess it was also a barrier of language but still, they should be train to at least try to communicate with guest.

Super nice breakfast, tons of options (not only local but western as well). Staff in the kitchen was helpful and available to bring up missing items. The room was very new and clean. Super comfy beds and pillows. Location is ok, right where the other big hotels are located. About 20 min walking from historical center

Located right next to the intercity bus station, plenty of small supermarkets around including restaurants and even Burger King. Spacious rooms, super clean, great customer service & consierge, the largest television yet (55 or 65") with Netflix, all the amenities necessary in the room (including a special ironing machine). And all this at a great price, so super value for the money, double thumbs up!

No real view from the room window.

Surprisingly good hotel, probably geared to business originally, but excellent also for tourists. Short walk to all the attractions in Gyeongju, and right next to the express bus station, but no discernible noise from it. Staff were very friendly although had limited English. Breakfasts were excellent with a wide range of Korean and European foods; both hot and cold.

I'd love to have had teaspoons and black tea/milk available in the rooms. I can't function without tea in the morning!

This was a great find! Huge and varied breakfast, spacious and stylish rooms and a good bed. And it was right next to the coach station which was super convenient.
