The property manager/owner greeted us as we walked in. The place had a great atmosphere and was extremely clean. The staff was so accommodating and sweet. The breakfast was served in the common area, which gave us a chance to mingle with other people. The room we stayed in was the only room without a bed, the traditional heated floor called “ondole.” Of course, it was too hot a season for us to experience that. Check-in and check-out were quick, and they held our luggage until we picked it up for the train ride. I strongly recommend the place for anyone who wants to explore Gyeongju. It’s a stone's throw from the main tourist spots. Unlike the place near Hwanglidangil, it was quiet—only a ten-minute walk to the main strip.

The room was huge and the room was very clean. It is a good experience staying in a hanok-style accommodation. The lady host also provided us with breakfast which starts at 8.30am.
The location is extremely near to Cheomseongdae Observatory and within walking distance to Gyeongju Hanok village and Hwangnidan shopping street.

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.

This place was absolutely adorable. It was quaint and quiet, but also in the best location. It’s in the middle of everything in the best way. Convenience store on the corner and an amazing park across the street that I kept finding myself going back to. Almost everything I wanted to see was within walking distance, but there was a very close bus stop for all the place that were farther away. Breakfast was simple with tea/coffee, pastries, and fruit, but delicious. The ladies that ran it were so nice and attentive, as well. I was also able to leave my bags after check-out. The bus station was easily walkable or only a few dollars by taxi if you have heavy bags. I really enjoyed Gyeongju and will definitely stay here the next time I’m in the area.

This is a beautiful quaint Hanok property. The exterior is historically picturesque while the interior is modernized. It’s super clean and very conveniently located to the historical sites, and the main strip of local shops and restaurants. A stone throw away is a 7/11. A lovely Starbucks is nearby. About 20 steps to the right from the entrance is a wonderful restaurant that looks like fine dining but the food costs is inexpensive. I wished I booked more nights here. It’s a very relaxing place to be.

The owner is lovely and the room was ready even we arrived a little early. While a light breakfast is available, if you want something more substantial, Gyeongju is very accessible from this location with plenty of options. Like most places we stayed in Korea, the towels were small but surprisingly absorbent. Overall, wonderful stay.

This place was amazing. The couple that run the place were so nice and even if they don’t speak English, they tried so hard to be helpful, specially the man. He ordered us a taxi and was very involved until the taxi arrived the next day.
The rooms are a typical Korean house but they are so clean and spacious. They have a TV, WiFi and outlets.
The bathroom was very clean and size appropriate.
The guest house is in a perfect area to walk to the castle and museum or to find something to eat. There is a convenience store around the corner.
There is a bus station close so it’s easy to go to other places that aren’t as close to the guest house.
I was really surprise that despite it being close to a garden, trees and stuff, there weren't insects inside the room. I was a little scared that by sleeping in the floor, that would be a problem, but it wasn’t at all.
I would recommend this place without a doubt.
