This simple hitel meets the needs of a single leisure traveller. Quite a few local restaurants and homely cafes are within walking distance.

All rooms had a jacuzzi, were extremely clean and had great ambience. Walking distance to awesome small mountain town and historical sites. Beds were really firm as is common in the country.

What others say is correct.
I am at fault for ignoring the reviews and making a reservation.
The bathroom is spacious, but there is no towel rack, so I was embarrassed.
There are a lot of water stains on the floor.
I can't use the large whirlpool bathtub because I can't clean it (there is no shower on the side where the whirlpool bathtub is, so at least I can't flush the dust down myself).
I can't use the styler because it smells moldy (I use it as a mirror).
There are often no people at the counter (I know they are busy, but as a guest, I can't get help when I need it).
There are only a few parking spaces inside (you can use the front yard of the building, but it's not that good).
There is a charger next to the bed, but it doesn't work.
There is no separate place to put a do not disturb sign, so I asked the contact number on the counter not to clean it, but people came in (it's not only a risk of theft, but I left everything out, so...ㅠㅠ).
The soundproofing is really bad. I wake up every time I open and close the door to the next room, and I can hear people talking in the hallway. I can't even sleep late because they clean the room I checked out early in the morning. Except for the spaciousness, it's really not that greatㅠㅠ
The counter staff wasn't there often, but they were still friendly..

It was comfortable and clean and I had a great rest. It was good. I want to go again. It was so good. It was comfortable and close to everywhere. It felt like I had a great rest for the first time in a long time.

The room was spacious and had two beds, so I had a comfortable rest. The location was also near Bulguksa Temple, so I was able to see the sunrise at Tohamsan Mountain. Thank you.

This hotel is right next to the famous tourist attraction Bulguksa Temple. It is very convenient for transportation and nearby functions. If you come to Gyeongju, I really recommend this hotel!

I made a reservation because I wanted to warm up my body in the whirlpool bath because it was cold!!
I thought I had to wipe and fill the whirlpool bath before filling it with water,
so while cleaning, black mold and scum kept coming out,
so I wiped it thoroughly and filled it with water,
and before getting in, I wondered if the whirlpool was bubbling, so I turned it on and turned it off right away,
but in an instant, I saw black scum and mold that had been hiding in the holes come out,
so I just drained the water and took a shower ^_^
I also had a styler, so I had to fill it with water and empty it to use it, and when I emptied it, the scum inside was brown and gray...and it was fluffy like seaweed... ..
Ha...
I was planning to wake up and visit Bulguksa Temple, so the location was okay.
The cleanliness is... dirty.
The breakfast was simple, so I could eat bread, eggs, and drinks, which was nice,
and I was able to use breakfast until 11.
The floor is not carpeted, but it is wooden, and although it is said to have central heating,
it is not warm even when you walk on it with bare feet... It feels like a cold floor.
(My feet don't get cold, but it's not warm either,
but it's not cool either, but it's a bit cold,
it's just like the floor of a house without heating.)
The heating comes from the air conditioner above,
and the temperature control is inconvenient.
There was no way to check what degree I set it to,
so I just pressed it roughly and went to sleep, then lowered it because it was hot, and woke up because it was cold..
I didn't sleep well.

It's close to Bulguksa Temple.
The nearby restaurants and convenience stores are far to walk to,
but they're close by car.
The facilities are clean and nice,
but the beds were creaking,
and the water was slippery.
The staff was very friendly.
The interior is pretty.
I think it's a good value hotel.

The ceiling was high and comfortable.
The noise was well blocked, the bedding was in good condition, and the parking lot was spacious even though it was outdoors.
Overall, I was satisfied, but the shower room was not clean enough, and the water was slippery, so it was difficult to check if the rinse was sufficient.

We used 2 accommodations.
A foreign couple and my wife.
The room was clean and nice, and I was able to relieve my fatigue in the whirlpool and use the styler well.
The breakfast was simple enough and delicious.
After washing the dishes myself, I was grateful to the young owner for being very kind.
It was good value for money.
Next time I have a chance to go to Gyeongju, I will use it again.
