What to do in Gyeongju
Gyeongju Silla Heritage with Seokguram Grotto Day Tour from Busan
"The property manager/owner greeted us as we walked in. The place had a great atmosphere and was extremely clean. The staff was so accommodating and sweet. The breakfast was served in the common area, which gave us a chance to mingle with other people. The room we stayed in was the only room without a bed, the traditional heated floor called “ondole.” Of course, it was too hot a season for us to experience that. Check-in and check-out were quick, and they held our luggage until we picked it up...
"Hotel Centrally located to tombs, markets, museums, bridges and gardens stay in this area instead of the lake away from the hoards of tourists. Modern quiet and just off Main Street. No gym or pool but still a great respite from the heat. Great cafes nearby, easy walking- just taxi to temple and Buddha grotto. Nearby cafe Nerd had great breakfast food. Check out cafe Seollokwon too."
"Little bit strange that at times there was no one at the front desk. But not a major problem unless you needed someone because only one towel for 2 people was supplied. "
"Beautiful traditional Korean house with lots of charm.
Very accessible to most of tourist attractions and plenty of restaurants nearby.
Definitely recommend for anyone who is visiting Gyeongju!"
"Great location right in the heart of the area of Gyeongju near all of the tomb complexes and shopping streets in old city. Breakfast every morning was tasty and the coffee was made fresh. The room was clean and spacious. Staff was very helpful in drawing on a map for us to explain transportation options and favorite dining locations."
"Fantastic location, walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. The owners were lovely and helpful. It's a traditional hanok so expect some bugs. There's also a friendly dog and cat living in the garden"
