Hotel berhampiran Hutan Gyerim, Gyeongju

An amazing once-in-a-lifetime hanok experience!! The place was absolutely beautiful, and our host was the kindest person ever. Their service was amazing, even providing us with a bottle of wine, and free breakfast even though it originally didn’t come with our booking. We visited Gyeongju for 3 nights during the windy winter of February, so some of the pros & cons may not be applicable for other seasons: Pros: - Amazing location: right in the heart of Gyeongju’s trendy hanok district, it is a few minutes walk from Hwangnidan-Gil street, Cheonmachong etc. Despite this district being absolutely PACKED in the weekend, our hanok was tucked in a more cozy, quiet corner, above a restaurant. It was then really quiet in our hanok, and we surprisingly didn’t have any problem of smells from the restaurant downstairs coming up into our rooms. - Clean aesthetic that perfectly balances the vibes of a traditional hanok, and a modern hotel. Suitable for those travelling with older families, for example, who may not be able to sleep comfortably on hard floors. The interior designer for this hanok deserves a raise - Floor heating was done well, and we didn’t feel cold at all despite the winds at night during our winter stay - gigantic TV - host was very kind and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp! - appreciated that the toilet and shower were very clean and modern as well! Cons: - there weren’t any wardrobes, and not many hangers were provided to hang your clothes. It’s only a minor issue, since we had more coats for our winter wear. However, since most people are booking this hanok for short stays, it shouldnt be a big issue either - as we came here via car at night, the parking lot assigned to us was a ~2min walk away from the actual hanok, so it was a bit confusing to locate the parking lot and hanok in the dark at first. - at night, the winds in the winter get quite strong, and so like any wooden house - there will naturally be quite a bit of sound like the wooden door shaking, sound of wind etc. Coming from the city, we were a bit scared and thought there were intruders at first LOL. This isn’t a big problem (especially during less windy seasons), but I think it’s just worth keeping in mind, especially if you are very sensitive to sounds when sleeping. If these cons aren’t applicable or big issues for you, then yes I would more than recommend this hanok stay!!! It’s a rare experience, and hence worth the money imho!

I stayed at this hostel and felt it had excellent value for money. The location, price, and cleanliness were all very good. It is very close to the bus terminal in Gyeongju, and I could reach the main streets within a few minutes on foot. Bus travel is very common in Gyeongju, so I especially liked how close it was not only to the terminal but also to bus stops going to the city center. The building was very clean and full of stylish and creative details. I could really feel the owner’s personality and care in the design. The rooms were divided into small sections such as 4-bed rooms, so everything was easy to understand and comfortable. The room key used a touch system, and the beds were large enough. I even had plenty of space for my luggage at the foot of the bed. The toilet and shower rooms were separated. The shower area was a shared shower room with several showers inside one large room. The changing area and entrance were together, so it could feel a little narrow when other guests were there, but everything was clean and functional. I arrived earlier than check-in time, but I could leave my luggage there. I also received clear instructions about the password and security system, so I felt safe. Even after check-out, they kindly allowed me to leave my large luggage there for a while. Overall, I received very good service and had a great stay.

Super clean and spacious new villa in Hanok style. It's a bit out of town, but main attractions easily accessible with a car. Check-in was a bit difficult as we had no Korean number and communication was only possible in Korean. In the end a friendly worker helped us by calling the owner. Thanks again for his help.

Large spacious room, with comfortable bed, good Internet. Location was perfect to access attractions, bus stops, Restaurants and shops. Front counter staff were very friendly and helpful, giving baggage storage prior to check in. Cleaning staff did a great job and always smiling. Very clean refreshing hotel

Отель в целом понравился, но цена на спа на мой взгляд завышена, аквапарк California beach дешевле и приятнее (вода теплее, да и в целом за такие деньги интереснее провести время в аквапарке).

아기 낳고 처음으로 가족 벚꽃놀이를 하러 경주 힐튼에 갔습니다. 벚꽃하면 보문단지이고 보문단지 걷다 들어갈수있게 힐튼에 갔구요! 처음 체크인 할땐 삼십분 넘게 대기했는데 대기하는 공간 마저도 브리저튼 영화속에 들어간것처럼 기다림에 지치기보단 설레임을 주능 공간이였습니다. 체크인 할 때에도 직원분이 너무 친절하셔서 아 여긴 정말 여행 온 기분을 내게 해주는 곳이라 생각하였고~ 1층에 인생네컷이 있어 사진도 한장 찰칵^.^ 아기가 놀수있는 키즈카페가 바로 옆에 있어 한참을 놀다 가려는데 아기가 더놀고싶은지 울더라구여^.^,, 저녁엔 레이크사이드 뷔페를 갔는데 저는 어느 뷔페에 가서도 그런 친절을 받지 못했어요.,! 랍스터를 먹는데 제게 집게를 드려도 될가요~? 물으시고 디저트를 고를때에도 실례가 되지 않는다면 추천해드려도 될가요 하시며 한 디저트에 대해 설명을 해주시는데 ., 아기가 아기컵을 떨어뜨리니 다시하나 가져다주시고., 정말 친절에 끝판왕이였습니다., 뷰는 말해뭐해고 아침 산책으로 보문단지 걷고 들어와서 정리하고 체크아웃했습니다. 정말 저희 가족의 첫 벚꽃놀이를 잘 즐길수 있게 경주 힐튼 선택을 잘한것 같습니다^.^ 다음에 또 꼬옥 갈거에요. 직원분들 정말 감사했습니다.🫶🏻🌿🌸🩵🫧🌌

Wonderful Guest house, very quiet and calm. Rooms are very basic and minimalist, but clean and comfortable with all equipment you may need. Staffs were very friendly. Breakfast was little poor. Great value for money

This place surpasses expectations. It's location is convenient as it's a direct bus line to/from the ktx station. Bus stop's 30 second away. The rooms are like what I'd expect in a very fancy, 4-5 star hotel wow what an unexpected treat. It's very nice, bright, massive tv (seriously big), huge room and even bigger bathroom with a bathtub. The outlets have international outlets, they provide a rather fancy dyson-like hair dryer too. Laundry is available at 1000krw/2000krw a load, hours apply 9am-9pm, and they will provide you laundry pods at the front desk. There even a 24hrs CU convenience store next door. Really enjoyed my short stay. Very comfy. Walking distance ~15 mins to the main street and tombs.

Beautiful chalet-style place for staying! The bed is very comfortable. The room is clean and organised. A few chairs and a table to do work or eat. Very spacious area for watching tv. There’s a bbq pit outside each unit. The host brought fresh towels for my second night, thank you! I love the beautiful decoration and swimming pool downstairs, even though it’s cold at night. It has a charming atmosphere, with an outdoor screen, swings and nice music. Sound insulation is ok, although you can hear the frogs croak outside from the bathroom. The place is about 20 mins’ walk from the bus stop with restaurants, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Theres a emart24 about 10 minutes away. There’s a restaurant next door that sells fried chicken till 11pm. It’s a must-try! Host and his wife are extremely helpful people. Thank you for your warm hospitality! Highly recommended for people who want privacy and lots of space to hang out.

Excellent Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I truly appreciated the warm hospitality. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed, with all the amenities one could ask for. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the housekeeping team did a fantastic job keeping everything clean and fresh throughout my stay. The view from my room was breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel’s facilities. The pool area was well-maintained and perfect for relaxation, while the fitness center had everything needed for a good workout. The on-site restaurant served delicious food with a great variety of options, and the breakfast buffet was simply outstanding – fresh, diverse, and of high quality. The location of the hotel was also a huge plus. It was conveniently situated near major attractions, shops, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. Despite being in a central location, the hotel itself was quiet and peaceful, providing a perfect balance between accessibility and relaxation. What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure guests had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay truly memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. I will definitely be returning on my next visit! Thank you to the entire team for making my trip so special.
