Went in the low season, but staff were absolutely fantastic, so I enjoyed my stay. Close to everything. Recommended, thanks Hanjin!

First time in my life, I have to sleep on mattress placed on boxes, very uneven & uncomfortable. Not a single hook or railings is found in the bathroom as well as the room. the only mirror found in the room is 2 x 3 inches The sitting room & the garden & the kitchen is cluttered, not conducive for socialising

More like a hotel. There was a common room not that big, more just a sofa and a TV. And the owner can be a bit weird sometimes, nice in his own way but we thought it was a bit weird...

close to railway station, the owner is helpful and easy to start Gyeongju.

The hostel has a perfect location in the most central area of the town. The unique interior and cousy atmosphere make you feel home - but at the same time you feel like a true guest. The staff is very helpful and gives practical advice on the surroundings, connections, and places to visit. I would highly recommend this hostel for anyone seeking a combination of good location, uniqueness, and very economical price. I also think that everyone who visits Korea should spend some time in Gyeongju.

The hostel is in a good location and the staff was friendly. The dorm room is not in traditional bunk bed style and cramped. There was also a hint of poo smell in the air and nothing was really that clean. Only stay here if you don't care about cleanliness, otherwise it's passable.
