"Second part of our family vacation touring South Korea and we chose here for the cultural heritage aspect. The free breakfast and the photo reviews we checked was a big factor in choosing this facility.
Facilities were extremely modern and new. Unit also comes with a mini clothes steamer for your business needs which was a surprise.
Breakfast is definitely a wow factor with so much variety and alternative options each day. Service was great and definitely will be 5 star review and return pick if coming back to Gyeongju."

"A great location within walking distance of historical sites in Gyeongju. Staying here made the experience even better. The staff are great and welcoming. Sleeping on a heated floor was a first for me. It won't be my last - I felt like I was sleeping on a full length heating pad - wonderful after a long day of walking!"
