Location was close to Hwangnidan-gil, the tombs & Jungang Market - all within walking distance! There are buses that goes to Cheongseomdae, Donggung Palace/Wolji Pond, Kyochon Hanok Village & Woljeonggyo and it takes less than 20 mins to reach these attractions. Hostel was incredibly clean, well-maintained, quiet & the bed was comfortable - I had the whole room to myself. Was pleasantly surprised (and somewhat relieved) to find that the bathroom was located within 1 dormitory room itself rather than a communal space-type. Breakfast was simple - cereal, eggs, milk/juice & toast, enough to get you started for the day. As I had to extend my stay in another city, I missed my first day of check-in and staff was understanding of my situation. Added bonus of free use of washer & dryer!

Lovely place to stay in the beautiful city of Gyeongju. The staff is really friendly and helpful. The owner is really doing his best for you to have a nice stay at his place. The dorm was comfortable, the terrasse was perfect to chill and the location is great, from walking distance to the bus station, the Silla tumbs and a local market. Just great! Thanks again for everything!

Everything in the room was great! Well equipped (mini fridge, ac, tv, electric kettle), clean, perfectly working internet and well supplied with soap, shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, hair brush, etc. The receptionist, since the moment I arrived, was always willing to help and super friendly. The shared area was also excellent.

All hostels in Gyeongju

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

We stayed in a private room which was clean and sized to the budget. There were free laundry facilities, which we were delighted to use. There was a good breakfast included. The bus station is nearby. The guesthouse / hostel was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone spending a few nights in Gyeongju on a budget.
