We stayed on the first floor and we were unable to change the temperature in the room. Normally we would just open the window, but the window was locked and we could not get any air flow in the room. Also, there was no staff around to inform of this issue.

Run down love motel needing upgrades
I am surprised as to all the glittering reviews of this place as it is an aged old love motel needing to be refreshed and upgraded. There are plenty of more modern places near by for a slight more money. It is however spacious, in a great location and the owners are very service oriented and friendly.

Excellent location close to the Bus Terminal
I did this trip as a solo traveler so the location was very convenient bc of being so close to the Bus terminal. The owner has been very friendly. I came at 8:00 am to drop my bag and he was very helpful and kind. He also gave me a very nice room.

The owner was very hospitable. Even though we arrived really early (near 11 am), he let us check in early, and gave us tips on what to see and where to dine. The property itself was a little outdated, but it was very close to the terminal and thus, convenient.

This 2-story hotel is in a transition period. It is in an excellent area for transportation, food, access to historic sites. Owner is very personable and helpful. Next project is to upgrade bathrooms, so be aware that, while servicable, bathrooms are not new. Mattresses are very firm. Rooms are large enough. For the price this is a worthwhile choice. Next time I am in Gyeoungju I will be happy to return to this hotel.

Fantastic place in a fantastic city!
Fantastic accommodation for a good price! Edward, the host is very pleasant and friendly. Helped with providing recommendations on the local sites, even provides you a map of how to get around and what to do. Can also exchange USD to Won if needed. Room is well accommodate, the bathroom is HUGE. Even had a different charging ports for your devices so you don’t need to use your own. Overall a fantastic value in one of the most beautiful places in Korea. If you want to go to Gyeongju, book this place! A couple of blocks away from the express bus terminal, there’s a coin laundry a block away, and a bus stop nearby that can take you to the train station. Local bicycle shops nearby for you to rent one and tour the city.

The location was convenient-close to the bus terminal station and relatively near popular tourist areas. The room was clean, had nice tv and amenities, and large bathroom. Few downsides were that the bathroom door has few lines where it is transparent, so you can see the inside of the bathroom, and the bed might be a little uncomfortable and hard for sensitive people (but my friend slept well!). But overall the hotel has nice service and it is a cost efficient place to stay.

Nice hotel with helpful owner
We arrived the hotel earlier than the check-in time and the owner let us leave our luggage there. Although the owner was busy with the housekeeping works, but he gave us great explanation on places to eat and visit in Gyeongju without hurry to make sure that we understand. The room was really spacious and comfortable to stay with a very reasonable price. No regret for choosing this hotel.

A great choice
I'm really glad that I stayed here. The owners were really wonderful and incredibly helpful. Their English is very good, they gave me a map of the area and explained which buses to take to get to the sites that were more than walking distance and they checked in with me to make sure I didn't need anything. The room was very clean, quiet and comfortable and the motel itself is walking distance from a lot of sites and local attractions. Overall a wonderful trip and I would stay there again.

A nice place
At first, the hotel was hard to find. It is tucked away in a little backroad. Once I got there, I met a lovely staff member who spoke perfect English. He brought me towels, water, and showed me the controls in my room. There is also a cute little cat who sleeps in the lobby. He will purr if you let him. The hotel location is wonderful. I was able to walk to many of Gyeongju's historical spots. They also provided me with a great map for getting around. It was really great to have such kind staff members making sure my experience was a good one. I'd use this place again if j go back.

Perfectly Central
We choice based off of location and hit the money on the head. This is easy access by walking for all of the major sights. Its three block access to the city bus system was a huge benefit. In the day this is easy to find. We arrived at night and were happy we came by taxi as even the driver was a bit stumped. The owners were very helpfull and gave us some great tips. The decor and accomidations were typical of Korea. Do not expect western style or you maybe dissapointed.

가성비와 친절한 서비스에 만족합니다.
출장으로 이용을 하였습니다. 가격적인 면이나, 서비스에 대해서는 매우 만족합니다. 주차장이 있어서 차를 이용하는 투숙객이 숙박을 고려 하겠지만, 주차장까지 도달하는 주변 도로 환경(도로 주차 차량 등)에서 접근이 용이하지 않을 수 있습니다. 내부 시설은 최신식은 아니지만, 관리를 잘 하시어 꽤 청결한 상태 입니다. 다만, 해바라기 수전이 동작 안한는 문제나, 샤워 거치대가 일부 파손되어서 약간 불안한 부분이 있을 수 있습니다. 황리단 길까지 가깝기도 하고, 바로 인근에 농협 하나로 마트가 있어서 간단한 요기거리 장만도 쉽습니다.
