Gyeongju GG Tourist Hotel

8/10 Good
"Good location near the bus terminal and not too far from the main tourist spots. Hotel is a bit outdated however room was big and spacious. We only wished the bathrooms were a bit cleaner, some of the glass walls were dirty. Burger King, Starbucks and McDonald's are all pretty close."
