    No elevator. Please be aware if you have luggage. While I have all female room, the other rooms are in the same floor and the bathroom for men and women are next to each other. It is not much of a concern for me, but it is good to know.

    I came to drop off my luggage around 1 PM and they let me check in instead without additional fee. Location is close to downtown and all the tourist attractions. They have locker under the bed that quite large. The bed is very comfortable.

    The hostel lay near to all sights from gyeongju - the golden city. The host was very kind, the bread was delicious. The breakfast was good and the recommandings for restaurant perfect. It was a really nice stay!

    Great hostel, I would choose it again! Clean room with enough space for luggage, well-equipped kitchen with a really nice breakfast, free water, tea, and coffee during the day. Super helpful staff (I got nice tips on how to get to the station). Clean and spacious bathroom with enough space in the cabin to change clothes. Everything was great here and it was a pity I had to leave

    We checked-in after hours and a lovely old lady from the bakery downstairs helped us get settled and was so kind! The woman at the front desk was also amazing and helped us on the check-out, letting us leave the bags there overnight because we couldn’t bring them to where we were staying. We came back the next day to collect them and they were perfectly taken care of. The facilities at the hostel were so clean and the breakfast served for all tastes. The beds were comfortable and the privacy screen is perfect to have your own stay. If we ever come back to Gyeongju we will definitely be staying here again!!

    The room is not easy to put your suitcase widely open. Better for using backpacks.

    The staff is super considerate and helpful. It’s not easy to get full control of Gyeongju’s bus system. The staff helped me to get the bus. Also recommended me the best food I have eaten in Gyeongju!

    It would be cool if we got 2 towels, some people bath twice a day. But it is a request rather than complaint.

    The beds felt like cheap spring matrasses. Although they were thick and big, I woke up both mornings a little back sore. The shower/toilet is near the common room, so you have to walk through the common room to take a shower or go to toilet.

    Location is very good, night near the tombs and palace. Also some good food options close by. The breakfast is included and has all the basic options, but with fresh eggs so you can cook your own style of eggs. Loved that! Staff is very friendly and wifi works good all around the hostel. Privacy (roll down) curtains at bed and a fold-out shelf was very useful!

    There's enough space to put the big luggage in the room corridor but it's difficult to open it given the narrow corridor. I had to open it in the corridor but that was fine for me.

    Overall experience was good and the hostel provided everything necessary for a good stay from a nice heater-blanket, locker and towel to a good breakfast including eggs and cheese. I missed the breakfast hours because I went to Bulguksa really early and came back past the breakfast hours, there's a cute auntie who was cleaning up offered me breakfast when I was back. She quickly got some new milk, bread and told me I could fry eggs and kept asking me if that's enough. She also tried to help me with the touristy stuff using google translate because she can't really speak English. But I really applaud her kind effort and really friendly attitude.

    Only a very small issue but the locker under the bed for my suitcase didn't work, and the flip down table in the bunk was broken. Not too important, just a shame they weren't working.

    Clean and tidy, lovely kitchen and dining area with lots of facilities, staff were extremely kind and helpful, overall the hostel was really great. The bed and bedding were very comfy. Bunk had a blind for privacy and was very spacious.lk

    no elevator or ramps, so accessibility may be a problem for some.

    A+ hostel through and through. The host was very nice and caring, and it's evident that they know what they're doing. It really isn't easy to find hostels of this quality in Korea, especially outside Seoul. Would definitely revisit!!! Dorm room : new, clean sheets and pillowcase on a comfy bed. electric blanket + ceiling heater + humidifier. bunks don't wobble. Lounge/kitchen : standard hostel lounge. free coffee and tea, as well as a shared computer. breakfast was eggs and toast. Bathroom/shower : shower booths were spacious and clean. shampoo, body wash, shaving cream, etc. are available. only one toilet and sink though. Misc : Wifi works well everywhere, within walking distance of everything
