Location is great. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, and cultural sites. Breakfast was simple but nutritious. Host was gracious to allow us to use his local phone so we can call the airline company to cancel our upcoming flight due to change in plans.

The owner Hana is very friendly. She can come anytime to help or answer questions. The place is very cosy. I'm 1,80 and the bed was just enough and it was comfortable. Great localisation. Open kitchen.

Featuring a terrace, Doobaki Hostel is set in Gyeongju in the Gyeongsangbuk-Do region, 9 km from Gyeongju World and 23 km from Seokguram.

Super fun place. There's a bar next door and they give you a free beer when checking-in. Staff was nice and always cheerful. The place has a huge common room downstairs and has that "backpackers/travelers" vibe so you can make friends and have conversations.

Located within 8 km of Gyeongju World and 22 km of Seokguram, Blueboat Hostel Gyeongju provides rooms with air conditioning and a shared bathroom in Gyeongju.

The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, but the toilet in the men’s bathroom could be cleaner, it was smelly. The breakfast was ok: toast, eggs and cereal. The location is really good, close to all sites. The men’s bathroom could’ve been better. There are only two showers and one toilet. For all the rooms it’s not enough.

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.

    Great location, within walking distance of the old town, historic sights, restaurants and shops. At the same time the hostel is in a quiet location. Facilities of the hotel are good (seating area, coffee, washing machine) and rooms are slightly bigger than average. Friendly owner. Recommended!

    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.

    This is the best hostel I have been in Korea by far. Incredible cool areas, the owner was a traveller and he seems to know very well what backpackers are looking for. There is even a manga library and a videogame area! Quite geek everything. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, very good location and with a great ambiance, quite cheap and with a complet breakfast included, what more can you ask for?
