Good morning, I would like to request a refund for my stay. I had a terrible experience. The rules state that only guests over 18 years of age are allowed to stay at the hostel. Yesterday there were several children (minors) at the hostel. This completely violates the rules and common sense. Furthermore, they were causing a disturbance and making noise until late at night and were not respecting the rules of coexistence. This is absurd. I would like, at the very least, a refund for my stay, since the terrible experience I had was already frustrating and traumatic.

It’s in a very good location and the bed was clean and comfortable. The included breakfast didn’t have much variety but was nice and there was more than enough to fill up especially since it was free. The only downside I have is that the locks on the shared bathroom door meant you could use the toilet even if someone wasn’t using it and accidentally locked the wrong door.

Clean and comfortable hostel. I felt very safe here as a solo female traveller. Breakfast was simple but great, rooms and bathroom were clean for a hostel and staff were nice. Walking distance to a number of attractions and restaurants. Would stay here again if I come back to Gyeongju!

두번째 방문이었습니다. 위치좋고 10분정도 걸으면 황리단길. 중앙시장도 갈수있고 버스도 많이 다닙니다
공영주차장에 자리도 넉넉했어요.
세면대 물이 잘 안빠졌지만 관리를 꾸준히 하시는거 같습니다. 외국인들에게도 핫플인가봐요. 손님이 다국적이네요.

One of the cheapest places in the city with convenient location. The primary con was that the bathroom was smelly which brings my rating down

I booked a twin room to myself and it was great. Very comfortable and convenient. Easy to
Check in. The keys were left on the desk and I let myself in. Perhaps lacks a bit of atmosphere but that may be due to Trumps visit going on when I was there. I also just went to sleep so this didn’t bother me. I had to leave early so I wasn’t able to sample breakfast which unfortunately started at 8am just after I left.

More than perfect

(구)경주역과 매우 가깝습니다. 요즘 핫한 곳들과는 약간 거리가 있지만 도보로 이동가능합니다. 청결하고 편리합니다. 빵과 커피, 계란 등이 포함된 아침식사도 제공해주십니다. 여름휴가기간이라 그런지 유럽친구들이 손님중 과반을 차지하고 있어 유럽 여행온 듯한 느낌도 받을 수 있습니다^^ 조금 거리가 있긴 하지만 근처에 무료주차장도 있습니다. 1층에서 사장님 가족이 운영하는 맛난 빵집도 있습니다. 매우 만족스러운 숙박이었습니다. 감사합니다!

Pros:
- Accessible to all attractions (walkable)
- Near bus stops
- Dog nearby is very cute and we will visit him everyday
- Donut shop nearby is really good and friendly
- Opposite the road, there is 7-11, supermarket and snack shop, even a chicken truck at night
- Heating is good

Cons:
- We don’t use the male toilet but there is a pee smell emitting from it
- Staircase x2 (manageable)
- One of the female toilet cubicle is always out of paper (two toilet available, 3 shower room)

Will stay again if i visit gyeongju !!!

I absolutely loved the Gyeongju Blueboat! The kitchen/lobby was so nice, as were the bathrooms. The bedrooms were also super nice and my little bunk bed reminded me of like, Japanese train bed pods? Could draw the curtain, turn on the light, and have your own little cozy nook. Loved it! One thing I would have liked better is if the luggage storage under the beds actually locked; as it is, even if you turn the key the doors can just be opened.

Great location! Clean, comfy, convenient and close to most of the historical locations and tombs - most of which I was able to walk to or take a quick bus ride to. As a solo female solo backpacker, it was a great place to explore on my own as there were many local families and other travelers who had flocked to Gyeongju for the holidays. Lots of big old green trees and wonderful environment! I was even able to take an hour bus ride out to the sea through beautiful Korean back country and see the Tomb of King Munmu. I loved every bit of my stay in gyeong-ju! Having a place to just drop all of my things at such a central location as the Blueboat made my whole trip so much more easier. I might have even taken a quick trip down to Ulsan or Busan if I had had more time, as the main train station was only steps away! :)

Great location and helpful receptionist

Excellent location, stone's throw away from the train station. Receptionist was very helpful and friendly in giving advise on locations to visit and places to eat.

Place was kept very clean and homey inside.

But be aware that it is located on the 2nd floor without lifts, so you will need to lug your bags up one floor.

The location is good, right next to train station and around 20 min walk from intercity bus terminal. Wet market and lots of restaurants nearby.

Staff were helpful, hostel was resourceful, with even a file for restaurants and famous dishes with both Korean and English. Breakfast was great, esp when there's a self help station for frying eggs.

Clean room and washroom. Totally no complaints. Could be even better if there's stronger ventilation for bath area, for it was very wet during peak hours, or even the next morning.

Overall an enjoyable stay, would definitely return in our next Gyeongju trip. :)

Amazing stay!

The hostel is amazing. Great, quiet vibe with an amazing staff that is very knowledgeable about the area, so they will and are definitely willing to help you out figure out your plans for visit. The only downside was that I could hear the people in the hall when I was sleeping near the hallway. But, I was able to move beds the next night. Other than that, the bathroom and kitchen are really clean and everything about the stay was great!!

One of the best hostels ever

This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The girl on the front desk was amazing, really helpful and did my laundry for me. The room was excellent. The beds are very comfortable and each has a shade you can pull down for extra privacy. There's two powerpoints at each bed and a little shelf for your laptop or tablet. The hostel is super clean, there's toiletries in the bathrooms and the breakfast is excellent with cereal, eggs, toast, milk, juice, coffee, tea and even chocolate syrup.
