Top Gyeongju Hotel Reviews

Lahan Select Gyeongju

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and new facilities."

Sono Calm Gyeongju

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my business stay at Sono Calm Yeoju, so this time I chose Sono Calm Gyeongju. First of all, I really liked the location, and having a hot spring within the resort made it even more appealing. I still don't quite understand why hotel guests only receive a 20% discount for using it, but I suppose that's common in Korea, where pools and spa facilities are often charged separately. That said, the breakfast was excellent, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, which made for a very pleasant stay. While rushing to check out in time for my train, I accidentally left my jacket behind. When I contacted the hotel the next day, they kindly shipped it to me that very same day. That was truly impressive service. I was very satisfied with my stay and will definitely return with my family next time. I was also happy to learn that pets are welcome."

Soi Hanok Stay

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely overnight retreat during our trip to Seoul. We were met at our taxi upon arrival, walked to our room, and briefed on everything important. The next day we received a traditional, homemade Korean breakfast of the highest quality. The room was authentic, charming, clean, and well equipped with plenty of fresh towels, tea and coffee, a microwave and refrigerator. The air conditioning worked well too. Beautiful views from every window. And, the location was perfect for exploring the ancient treasures on foot. Surrounded by many cafes and shops too. Perfect stay!"

Rivertain Hotel Gyeongju

6/10 Okay

"Location of the property is good for public transport as the express bus terminal is very near and the intercity Bus terminal is next door. The area right around the hotel isn't very nice. Some grubby restaurants but not much else. You'll have to walk 10 to 15 minutes to get to the area with nice restaurants."

Coolstay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. The rooms were immaculate, spacious, and very comfortable. One thing I really appreciated was that if you arrive early, they offer free secure luggage storage lockers where you can store your bags, lock them, and take the key with you while you explore. They also offer free laundry as long as you have your own detergent, but if you don’t, they have detergent available for purchase for only 2,000 KRW. The location was also perfect with so many restaurants, convenience stores, and attractions all within walking distance. Everything made the stay easy and enjoyable. I will definitely be coming back and staying here again on my next trip."
