    Enjoyed my time in the hostel and in Gyeongju.

    Gyeongju is my first stop during my travel in Korea. I take a bus arriving here from Incheon airport directly. The hotel's location is convenient that can easily get to here following staff's instructions. Staff are friendly and quite helpful on everything. Hotel offers good breakfast. I love Gyeongju's rich Buddhism culture as it is the ancient capital city of Silla.

    On the booking it is stated that washing machine is available, however that’s not true. I ask the staff and I was told that waching machine is available only from 11-3pm, but in this time no guests were allowed to be in the accommodation due to the cleaning.

    The accommodation was great, breakfast simple but enough. You could choose from toast or cereals and you could even make eggs. The room was a little bit cold but you could use heating pads in your bed.

    The place was very clean. They provided a fantastic breakfast. You can even cook your own eggs! One of the best hostels. The beds were private with black out screens to keep the light out. Plenty of showers, so you did not need to wait. The staff was very welcoming!

    I only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer. It is a great place if you want to settle in for a few days. Comfortable, clean and quiet for some quality rest after lots of walking. Close to the bus stop and local attractions. The kitchen is great and has everything you need for cooking. The breakfast was surprisingly worthwhile too.

    Personally I find the bedroom really small. I stayed in a 4 person hostel and we can barely walk.

    Cosy and modern dining area and bedroom. Love that they included breakfast - egg, toast, coffee, fruit juice. Simple and good enough. Best of all, it’s very clean!

    The walls are a little thin. It's easy to hear people outside the room. But people were quiet, and they had a quiet policy in place.

    The breakfast options were great. It was clean and had a good amount of amenities. Very friendly and welcoming hostel.

    There could be more space to put your belongings in the shower (clothes/towel etc)

    Hostel was walking distance to the main sights, and a short bus ride from the Express bus terminal. Note the train station next to the hostel on Maps is not the main train station. Pods were comfortable and spacious enough, the kitchen was the best I had in Korea, and the bathrooms were clean with plenty of facilities.

    Nothing besides someone turning the aircon in the room to 24 C at night which made it pretty hot inside but that’s just personal preference as I like to put my aircon back at home at 17 C

    Great location, easy to use facilities, free breakfast every morning, beds were comfy with privacy curtains.

    The kitchen where the breakfast is served is rather small, so it was a bit of juggling around before we could eat comfortably, but it worked out.

    The room was clean and had everything we needed. The shared bathroom was on our floor which was perfect and complete with all a girl could wish for. Breakfast was great: toast, cereals, Nutella, 2 jams, butter, coffee and tea, several juices and we could cook our own eggs.

    Cleaning might be improved. Although it was quite alright for hostel but still there are some place for improvement (for ex. the gap between mattress and the wall was dirty. Locker didn’t work.

    Good location. Breakfast, even though it’s simple one but it’s nice to be able to get some egg toast and coffee.

    Very small room, it was hard to pass each other if someone was standing in the room. We were 4 people in a 8 sqm room, so I turned on the A/C at night, but someone turned it off, so the oxygen completely left the room.

    Clean and it was easy to find. Close to bus stop to all major tourist sites. It was nice that you could cook an egg for breakfast and in general that the kitchen was clean
