The shower setup was the stupidest that I have ever seen. It was not enclosed, so the water went end up all over the floor. Also, there were no switches near the beds to control the lights so you would have to get out of bed turn off the lights and climb back into bed in the dark.

Room was very tidy and clean. Had underfloor heating (which can be turned down via the hotel staff as it was much too warm for us), air conditioning and WiFi controllable lighting.

Very nice bathroom also.

Plenty of amenities available and staff were very friendly and efficient.

Breakfast was simple but has all the necessities. There is also a self serve instant noodle station and also in the same floor a self serve laundry.

This hotel is very well located for main tourist attractions in Gyeongju , with plenty of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance . Convenient lockers for storing luggage prior to and after check in , which was a real benefit to us .
Rooms are compact but perfectly adequate , and overall this hotel is great value for money .

The hotel was easy to find from the train station with my phone. The location was walkable to all the tourist attractions that we wanted to visit.the shower is not enclosed so when showering the whole bathroom gets soaking wet and there is no heated floor so takes a long time to dry. Very small counter space to put toiletries onto.The best thing about this hotel is its location and very safe. Dining options are are about a twenty minute walk.

Stayed in a suite which is basically a larger room with a small seating area. Modern and relatively comfortable no frills hotel. Self service check in and not before 3pm but handy large lockers for luggage storage. Good location for both buses and all the sights. Basic buffet breakfast included. Didnt like that only small towels are provided (hand towel size) and shower is in the middle of the bathroom with no screen or curtain.

Comfortable simple stay

Overall a comfortable stay at Hotel Palace. The shower is next to the toilet but the hotel provides separate bathroom slippers. Central location next to night market, an easy walk to the Royal tombs and OAR Contemporary Art Museum and plenty of local bus lines near the hotel. It's about a 15min walk from Gyeongju Express Bus Terminal or an easy bus ride (bus right across from terminal).

Disappointing

I’ve have traveled extensively and appreciate that while hotel rooms in Korea (and Japan) are small and lack counter space and drawers, they are typically designed to be functional.

I would rank this hotel our least pleasant stay. It was as if the room was designed by someone who never stayed in a hotel. So many things could have easily been done right but weren’t.

Location - good for access to local buses; bad for anything else like restaurants and shops

Breakfast - good assortment to start the day, managed by friendly staff

Front desk - unfriendly, unhelpful, disinterested. Basic questions seemed to always annoy him.

Room- It was clean. The bed was hard, with a mattress that felt like a stack of sheets, covered in a sheet. Small couch felt like sitting on wood covered in fabric. There was one wobbly freestanding rack with four hangers. No closet. Poorly placed outlets to charge electronics. Tiny shelf on each side of the bed. Room lights were controlled by a wall switch at the front of the room, not near the bed.

Bathroom - skimpy hand towels only, no bath towels. Bathroom is one room, including the shower so everything gets wet when showering. As a consequence, there were no outlets in the bathroom. The hotel provides a hairdryer but there are no outlets near the one mirror in the room.

Stayed for 2 nights in a triple room. Room is clean, new and well maintained. Staff is friendly and helpful. A simple breakfast spread is served. Located within 3 mins walk to a bus stop that has service routes to bulguksa, intercity bus terminal and historical areas. Within walking distance to Jungang market as well. Surrounding hotel area may be a bit quiet and dark at night. Bathroom size could be reduced to provide more sleeping and storage space. Also, would be good if shower area can be kept separate to avoid wetting the rest of the bathroom.

Very well located and walking distance from the historical sites and some shops. There is a small parking for those driving into town. The room was clean but the bathroom had a musty smell and the bathtub leaked. Might have been only our room, though. There was a tiny breakfast nook that was useful if you wanted a quick bite before heading out (coffee, toast, yogurt, fruit, cereal, ramyeon, boiled eggs...) It served us well for our stay in Gyeongju with a day trip to Pohang.
