    “Pretty good!”

    It feels like a guesthouse, and I was honestly worried. The cleaning status is very good, the room is pleasant, and I really liked that I could cook my own meals. It seems like you have a shop on the first floor, so thank you for preparing food for us.

    “I have a willingness to revisit~”

    In fact, the accommodations in Gyeongju were really expensive, so I chose a 2-person guesthouse that my husband and I could use. I didn't have high expectations when I first saw it on the street, but I was very comfortable and used it well. You can park at the parking lot of the old Gyeongju Station or in the public parking lot next to the makgeolli house behind the accommodation. I was a bit confused because I didn’t know this, but when I took a morning walk around the neighborhood, I saw that there are many cafes and public parking lots. Sungdong Market is also nearby and tourist sites are close, making it easy to walk, and the facilities were quite decent.

    “A great experience!”

    Location: Very close to the scenic area, you can walk there. Room: The mattress is very comfortable, and the detergent used has a nice fragrance! The quilt is very enjoyable to cover with, and the lighting and heating are very warm. Service: Breakfast is provided in the morning, frying your own eggs is a great delight! The owner's responses are very prompt and the attitude is excellent! Highly recommended if you come alone!

    “Best cost performance!!”

    This facility is the best for the price!! I stayed for 2 nights in a 4-person dormitory. Due to the nature of the dormitory, it's not as comfortable and pleasant as a 4-star hotel. However!! Considering the price, it’s excellent. Each bed in the shared room has a blind for privacy~ I had a personal towel in a basket pocket, which made it convenient when going to and from the bathroom! They also provide breakfast~ Of course, there are many items that aren’t available~ But there are plenty of light snacks~ Eggs, bread, butter, jam, nuts, milk, juice, coffee, etc. are all available^^ The advantage of this guesthouse is that there are many things missing~~ But what you need is all there!! The host seems to have traveled a bit~ They really pay attention to hygiene, and it's a guesthouse that has everything you need. The location is somewhat away from tourist attractions as it is near the old Gyeongju station, but just over a decade ago, this was the center of Gyeongju. It still has its old hot spot vibe so public transportation to tourist spots is convenient. I’ve been visiting Gyeongju for almost 20 years now. Every time I come, the shops, cafes, and restaurants that I liked have changed, which is disappointing. I hope this guesthouse stays around for a long time. That’s also why I’m leaving such a long review. ^^

    “A comfortable place to rest at a good price.”

    The location is great as it is within walking distance to most places like Cheomseongdae, Gyeongju Museum, and Geumridangil. There are many foreign travelers, so if you want, you can talk with them. All the staff members are friendly, and there’s also a nice sweet rice bread shop on the first floor that I enjoyed. I would like to come again next time.
