    This hotel offers great value for money. It is located off a quiet street, next to a vibrant market, making it convenient for exploring and experiencing the local culture. The basic amenities provided, including free "Egg" WIFI, add to the convenience and comfort of the stay. Moreover, the rooms are spacious and well-equipped, with options for different bed configurations.

    I recently had a satisfying stay at a hotel in Gyeongju. The hotel offered great value for money, with affordable prices and attention to detail. The location was fantastic, nestled on a quiet street just a short walk from a bustling market. The staff were friendly and accommodating, providing basic amenities and even free "Egg" WIFI, which was a nice bonus. The room itself was spacious, with comfortable beds and a well-equipped bathroom with a shower. Additionally, the hotel offered breakfast, providing a convenient start to the day.

    All was well during my stay.

    Great Location near express terminal and lively market. Easy transport for visiting the attractions. Comfy and clean rooms with sufficient facilities. The staff offered us a free Wi-Fi device to stay connected.

    We spent our Christmas at this hotel and we were quite unhappy about it. The worst aspect of our stay was that the hotel was extremely difficult to find.

    I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The location is fantastic, situated near a bustling market where I could easily shop and grab some delicious food. Plus, the hotel staff provided me with a mobile wifi router, allowing me to stay connected wherever I went in this city. Additionally, the hotel provided free canned fruit juice and had a great coffee machine in the lobby-- a great perk! Lastly, the cleanliness of the hotel facilities was impeccable, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

    Can't fault anything about it.

    The room was spacious and had a private bathroom which was great. the hotel was located near some nice restaurants and it was easy to access public transportation. the staff was friendly and welcoming.

    The AC unit was not working properly, making the room uncomfortably hot. the power in the room turned off every time we left which made it difficult to charge our devices.

    The hotel is conveniently located within a walking distance from restaurants and markets. the rooms are clean and equipped with modern facilities like LCD TV, kettle, and fridge. the Ondol room offers a comfortable sleeping arrangement with its hard mattress. the bathroom is spacious and stocked with toiletries. the free portable WiFi works efficiently. the air conditioning system is effective and keeps the room cool. the neon lights in the corridors and room add a unique touch to the hotel's decor.

    The hotel staff has limited proficiency in English, which could be difficult for non-Korean speaking visitors.
