2-Star Hotels in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea

The hotel is located right next to the liveliest souvenir street, yet it's quiet and cozy because it's not directly on it. At the same time, most of the attractions are nearby. The room has everything for convenience: disposable slippers, shampoos, soap, and even locally produced drip coffee. As a bonus, there was a complimentary bottle of champagne, which was a nice touch. This is a standalone hanok (traditional Korean house) with one room, a shower+toilet, and a small entryway. Downsides: There are 3 such hanoks on the property, and the soundproofing is very, very poor. We rented 2 hanoks, which was convenient. We didn't see anyone from the 3rd hanok, but if you're only renting one, you might have issues with neighbors. Since the house is wooden, it gets very drafty. We turned on the floor heating, and once it warmed up, it was comfortable; otherwise, it could be chilly. There's no parking right next to the place; it's a 10-minute walk away. However, it's included in the hanok's price, so there's no additional charge. They didn't allow us to check in an hour early. The staff member was a bit rude. But, overall, it's a good place to stay for 1-2 days.

I didn't expect much, but it was really great! ^^ It was a business room, so it wasn't very big, but it was very clean. The facilities were also nice. They provided breakfast, and the food was delicious. This hotel is truly great value for money. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Andong. ^^

We had the most incredible experience staying at this beautiful hanok in Gyeongju!! It exceeded every expectation and then some. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and truly special. First of all, the location is unbeatable! It’s perfectly situated right by the market street, making it so easy to explore local food and culture, while also being within walking distance (or a short ride) to all the main attractions. Even better, it’s incredibly convenient for transport, just a short distance from both the express bus terminal (from Seoul) and the intercity bus terminal (onward to Busan), which made our travel stress-free. The hanok itself was simply stunning! Our room was surprisingly spacious, with gorgeous traditional design details and beautiful views from the windows that really made the stay feel serene and authentic. It struck the perfect balance between traditional charm and comfort. Speaking of comfort, the bed was fantastic, which was especially important to us since I’m 6 months pregnant. We were a bit nervous about sleeping arrangements beforehand, but it turned out to be incredibly comfortable, and we slept so well every night. The host was also incredibly thoughtful and gave extra yo (bedding) and an additional pillow, which was so sweet. What truly made this stay unforgettable, though, was the host’s kindness!! She was so warm and attentive throughout our visit. She kindly allowed us to check in early, which we really appreciated after travel, and each morning she brought us a delicious homemade breakfast, such a lovely and personal touch that made us feel completely taken care of. Everything about this stay felt genuine, peaceful, and full of heart. We left feeling rested, happy, and so grateful we chose this place. We genuinely couldn’t recommend it more highly. If you’re visiting Gyeongju, this is the place to stay!

Large spacious room, with comfortable bed, good Internet. Location was perfect to access attractions, bus stops, Restaurants and shops. Front counter staff were very friendly and helpful, giving baggage storage prior to check in. Cleaning staff did a great job and always smiling. Very clean refreshing hotel

Wonderful Guest house, very quiet and calm. Rooms are very basic and minimalist, but clean and comfortable with all equipment you may need. Staffs were very friendly. Breakfast was little poor. Great value for money

I stayed in a standard twin room with my brother. The room was quite spacious, and the location was great – we could walk to Hwanglidan-gil and there was a market nearby. The hotel front desk staff were incredibly friendly. For smokers, the rooftop is beautifully decorated, so it would be perfect to enjoy a cup of coffee and relax when the weather is nice, especially from April to June. If I ever come to Gyeongju again, I'd definitely revisit, 200%! Parking is available on the first floor, but if it's full, you can use the nearby public parking lot for free. Coffee machines and water were also provided for free on the 1st and 7th floors, which was a nice touch.

Great place for solo travellers, couple and families Great food and cafe around the area and a lot of places that is exclusive in gyeongju like Miffy rabbit merchandise and also butter salt bread. Also many nice scenery and views It feel very peaceful and calm and relaxing for solo traveller to explore and experience the nature

Stayed at room 208 which was super spacious and clean. Toilet was huge and came with a decent bath tub. Bed was comfy and the staff changed our towels every day! Location is pretty near the gyeongju intercity bus terminal too (6min walk). However, the toilet light was on a timer and will automatically switch off after about 30mins even if theres someone in there. It is quite inconvenient to have to walk back outside to manually turn on the lights while you are dripping wet. Also, pls note that the aircon control is at the bottom of the TV remote control.

Very nice people. Room was ready early, it was clean, well equipped and the area was super close to the temple complex. Walking distance. Food options also nearby. However there is no lift, so request low room if you have heavy bags, very short walk to temple area where you can take some great photos

It's a modern, clean place. The rooms have large windows and air-con, and the pot-noodle breakfast is a nice touch.The only problem: there is never anyone at the front desk. The light in my bathroom was out, and there was no way to convey this message: no English spoken on the phone, and messages bounced back. I didn't have a problem with it, as there was enough light coming in from the room, but it's not ideal if there was a real issue
