    “Excellent hostel”

    Nothing but good things to say about this hostel. Great location in Gyeongju close to grocery stores, food and busses. The woman who runs the hostel is exceptionally welcoming and helpful with information about where to go and which public busses to take. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable. Cook your own eggs in the morning is a huge bonus. Not a party hostel but plenty of opportunity to socialize if that's what you would like. I had several good conversations with other travelers.

    “Exceptional”

    This place is truly amazing. If I could rate it with 10 stars, I would. It's clean, fragrant, and the manager is always cheerful and compliments me whenever we meet. I feel like I'm at school because everything is tidy and orderly. I will definitely choose this house to stay in for the entire trip if I go to Gyeongju again. Thank you very much. It was a wonderful experience.

    “Nice and clean place in a cute quiet alley”

    Stayed 2 nights in a 4b dorm. Very clean room, bedding, toilets and showers (no curtains for privacy). Full service kitchen. Toast-egg breakfast & coffee. Owner is very easy going. 4m walk to bus stop -takes 30+ mins to KTX station. #70 starts at 0500 daily for early trains. 3mins to traditional market, lots of food options. 20+mins to tourists sights Met friendly co-travelers.

    “Good place at a great location”

    It’s a pretty standard dorm type hostel. The lobby felt more like a living room of a house than a hostel lobby which is a very nice feeling. I was welcomed by a cute little puppy and the host was nice enough to let me drop my bag in my room instead of the lobby even though I was way earlier than the check in time. The location is great. 2 mins away from the bus stop and 15-20 mins walk away from most attractions. There’s a CU right next door and a lot of other stores and restaurants nearby. The only thing I didn’t like was the shower situation. It’s an open shower in a big bathroom with 3-4 shower heads. I took a shower at 4am so that I could have privacy lol. But the bathrooms are clean and there is dry space to change clothes.

    “friendly owner”

    i love how friendly the owner was and the people there are pleasant. they regularly clean the rooms and the shower/toilet area. also, it’s near the tourist spots — you can just walk. there are also several bus stops within walking distance. even though i walk alone at night, i still felt safe (given i’m a solo female traveller). i just wasn’t prepared with the communal shower — so you shower with people like going to a shower in a gym. it would take a while of getting used to. it’s something that i wasn’t able to check 😂 but i love the place and the people. would recommend the place.
