Coolstay Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel's location was close to most of the sights and the bus station. Their manner of distributing water and amenities worked great, and reduced our need to request items.

10/10 Excellent

"We did not bring a dog but a total hoot (bark) to be among devoted dog owners and their pets at the hotel. Great concept and just fine for just humans. Loved being in the lake during our visit. All good!"

Benikea Swiss Rosen Hotel

8/10 Good

"Was very nice. All the staff where super helpful and is very close to many beautiful viewpoints."

Gyeongju H Avenue Hotel Bulguksa

10/10 Excellent

"경주 불국사 바로 옆에 위치한 어 호텔은 착한 가격에 비해 전체적으로 정말 만족스러웠던 숙소였습니다. 불국사 근처라 주변에서 맛집을 가거나 쇼핑하기에 아주 좋았고, 큰길에서 살짝 안쪽에 자리 잡고 있어 밤에도 조용하고 가볍게 산책하며 돌아다니기 좋았습니다. 호텔 내에 전용 주차장도 마련되어 있어 차를 대기에도 무척 편리했습니다. 무엇보다 방 문을 열었을 때 깜짝 놀랄 만큼 방이 아주 넓고 깔끔했으며, 객실 안에 월풀 기능이 있는 하트 욕조가 있어 하루 종일 여행하느라 쌓인 피로를 싹 풀 수 있었습니다. 아침 식사는 빵과 시리얼, 구운 달걀, 커피, 오렌지 주스, 망고 주스로 구성된 컨티넨탈 블랙퍼스트라 아침을 간단하게 때우기에는 무난했지만 큰 기대를 하기는 살짝 아쉬웠습니다. 하지만 이 소소한 부분을 제외하면 전체적인 룸 컨디션과 위치, 주차 편의성까지 가격 대비 너무나 훌륭해서 전체적으로 아주 만족스러운 머무름이었습니다."

Kolon Hotel

8/10 Good

"경주는 30번 정도 간 것 같은데 늘 즐거운 시간이 되는 것 같아요. 음식이나 물가도 제주도 처럼 비싸지 않고 (슬러쉬 2천원!!), 무엇보다 시끄럽게 떠들고 공중질서를 해하는 외국인은 거의 없고, 질서를 잘 지키는 조용한 외국인들이 많고, 젊은 커플들이나 유아동반 가족들이 많아서 안전하다고 느끼고 여행한 것 같아요. 저희 식구 요즘 제주도 대신 경주에 가요."

Commodore Hotel Gyeongju

10/10 Excellent

"Location of this hotel is very conenient to reach every interesting and historical points. Room was clean, Staffs are kind and smiling, Breakfast is good. Lot of parking spaces."
