    Lovely hostel within walking distance of key attractions

    lights were turned out in all communal spaces (including the bathrooms at 11pm). You were able to use the bathroom but kitchen felt out of bounds (understandable as the rooms were around the kitchen but worth knowing). Also, you weren't allowed in the hostel / your room between 11am-3pm, I didn't notice this information when booking but again worth knowing as it was impacting some people's travel / we weren't able to come back to the room to freshen up when we wanted. Bed was a bit lumpy, so not the most comfortable, but was fine for a few nights!

    Really lovely and clean rooms and communal space. Had a really lovely vibe to it so people got chatting over breakfast / when they were in the kitchen. Rooms being around the kitchen kind of made this happen. Calf massagers were fab! Breakfast was really lovely, having eggs was really nice addition and facilities were great / clean so we didn't have to wait. Nice to have an ice maker alongside the water machine! Hostel was within walking distance to the tombs / hanok village / lots of restaurants and the bridge and palace which was fab! Also lots of public transport nearby and super easy for the bus to Seoul / busan!

    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!
