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.

Great value, very clean, excellent location

Clean comfortable hotel, excellent location, walkable to the Daereungwan Tomb sites and the Observatory. Staff could be a little friendlier but overall answered our questions matter of factly.

Very comfortable , clean hotel in a very convenient location. Comfortable beds, large bathroom with shower and large tub. Good breakfast and very attentive staff. Secure lockers to leave luggage if not leaving the area at check-out time. Free bottles of cold water for the room and to take out during the day. Would definitely stay again.

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.

Small hotel but room is good size and clean, lunchroom has ramen for arrival snack, breakfast is ok, nice reception, the ladies there are friendly and helpful, although hotel doesn’t give bath towels only hand towels size for energy conservation's which it’s understandable, we made it work, there are bathrobes though.

This place feels like a 5 star hotel when it comes to cleanliness and the state of the facilities. It’s small but it’s the best hotel I’ve stayed at in a long while. The rooms are state of the art and very modern. Love it and have zero complaints about anything to do with this hotel.

Perfectly decent hotel with comfortable and well equipped rooms and friendly staff. Located away from the tourist humdrum and yet just a few steps away from the historic parks. Do avoid 2nd floor rooms due to noise from lobby and breakfast area just down the hallway.

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.

The bathtub was unexpectedly luxurious. I felt like a king every night using the jets.

Breakfast is free and the cutoff time is lenient, plus the hotel provides complimentary ramyeon and rice to cook yourself at any hour.

Five stars!

Nice hotel in Gyeong-ju

Good value, spacious, clean, modern, has at least one universal outlet. Breakfast is a little lacking, but hey, it's free and at least there's coffee and OJ.

TV remote did not work. (ran out of battery according to hotel staff) Bathroom shower switcher knob fell off (screw missing). Bathtub faucet leaking.

Limited dining options nearby for people who doesn’t speak Korean. One restaurant nearby didn’t want to serve even though there were diners inside and plenty of vacant seats.

Fint och personligt rum, dock inget säkerhetsskåp och inget duschförhänge vilket gjorde att hela badrumsgolvet blev vått när man duschade. Heller inga krokar i badrummet att hänga kläder mm på

호텔 팰리스는 20년전 팰리스호텔에 일본손님들을 모시고 자주 갔든 기억에서 가족여행에 숙박을 하게 되었습니다 또한 시내가 가까우니까요 그러나 너무 실망스런 호텔에 깜짝 놀랐군요 저의 아내와 2박3일에 경주여행이었습니다 첫째 호텔의 침대입니다 침대에서 움직일때 마다 소리가 나는 침대에 잠을 잘 수가 없었습니다 모텔이나 여관도 그런 침대는 없을 것입니다 둘째 방 청소를 신청하지 않으면 청소를 해 주지 않는다는 숙박조건을 모르고 여행하고 돌아오니 물.수건도 없는 상태였습니다 저가 숙박조건 서를 보지 않은 잘 못도 있지만 수건 물은 비치 해야 하지 않을까요?그리고 아침 조식도 좀 부실하고요
많이 개선 되어야 해서 이 글을 올립니다 아무리 시내 호텔이고 요금이 저렴하지만 후기를 올릴 수 밖에 없었습니다.
