    There wasn't a lot of natural light in the rooms since the windows were small

    The location was perfect since it was right next to the station. The place was clean and neat

    Perfect location just few steps far from main bus station, near of historic district. Nice self-service breakfast (eggs, bread, butter, jam), but you can use kitchen until 11p.m. and cook own self. Receptionist was such kind and borrow us kettle into the room. AC was working well.

    It's not a hotel but more of a hostel place. It was a bit odd having to cook breakfast ourselves (when the hotel provides it) and clean all our dishes afterward.

    The location is great, within walking distance from main tourist places. The beds were very comfortable. The room is very basic and small, but enough for a short stay.

    The kitchen and common area is in another building, if you wanted to talk on the phone in the middle of the night then you had to go outside the building. In addition, the doors of the showers were semi-transparent. I showered in a bathing suit because these were mixed showers.

    The beds were comfortable and the room spacious. There is privacy. There were plenty of showers and toilets and the location was a few minutes walk from all the main sites.

    No elevator for bringing up luggage - not that big of a concern for us as we were on the second floor but might be something to consider if you get placed on a higher floor with a lot of luggage.

    Clean and comfortable room and bathroom. Nice to be able to use kitchen to make a light breakfast.

    The cubbies have some gaps where light comes through, was a bit annoying because the overhead lights also have no shade so if you are on the top bunk it shines into your eyes. But you can just turn the light off! (as long as everyone is ok w it). The towel was not the cleanest and I saw some faint marks on it.

    The location is great and close to the coach station and train station. The cubbies are pretty spacious and not claustrophobic, I could almost stand up and I'm about 5'11. The bed was comfy and I had a quiet night. They have free lockers available for your stuff before and after check-in which was a lifesaver. Really nice lobby area with free wifi, was great for taking call or getting ready to leave. Breakfast was nice, just fry your own eggs, some toast, butter, jam and orange juice and coffee.

    the shower is nonexistent- the whole bathroom gets wet. lucky i was staying only three nights so i didn't have to shower too often! the bed sheets had a few stains but were otherwise clean.

    the location was very convenient, close to the city's busiest streets and bus/pullman station.

    Could be cleaner, the common areas don't seem to be cleaned every day, like the benches or the ground in the dining area. The doors of the showers in the dorm only go half way which is a little weird.

    Good breakfast. 2 towels provided everyday. Good location.

    No lift, so luggage had to be carried up the stairs.

    Fantastic location, close to both the intercity and express bus terminals, as well as bus stops for buses going to major tourist attractions in Gyeongju. Owner was very friendly and explained how to get around town in detail. Simple but satisfying breakfast of toast with jam and eggs is provided every morning as well. Room was clean and all the necessities were provided.

    There is a no lift so if you carry big luggage then this place may not be suitable. For backpacker like me should not be problem to walk up & down 4 floor.

    The hostel is very near to the bus terminal and bus stop to all sights. The owner self-made a very useful map that come in handy. The room is clean and the self-service breakfast is good enough.

    Staff is there only at check-in and before and after that nobody is there. It is confusing when you arrive as there are only signs (mostly in Korean) at the reception.

    The location is good, you can leave your baggage in the lobby if you arrive early. The female dormitory looked quite new and the mattress was comfortable. Wifi was pretty good.
