This is honestly one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at. It's cheaper than most hostels in South Korea too, which is good since hostels in Korea can be pretty expensive. Clean, hot showers, clean beds, super nice and fun staff who want to make sure everybody has a good time, lots of helpful information about stuff to see, and lots of free breakfast food. The only complaint is that the free wifi didn't extend all the way to my room very well, but it worked fine in the common areas.

Nahbi is really a great place to stay and make friends. Staff are very helpful, the location is highly accessible, and wi-fi is available which connects backpackers with the world. Highly-recommended! Don't miss the lounge party! It is fun, and allows backpackers to make new friends!

I had a fantastic time at Nahbi guesthouse, all the staff made me welcomed throughout and helped immensely with my plans around town. They made my stay memorable and gave me an authentic Korean experience that I'll never forget. If you're a true backpacker this plans will be right up your street. The dorms are well equiped, clean and comfortable plus the communal showers were some of the best I've seen on my travels. I loved my stay here and really felt like one of the family.

Nahbi was a great place to stay overall! The staff was super friendly and there was even a little social gathering each night that I stayed. It's a short walk from the bus terminal and other sights around Gyeongju. However, the bathroom smelled terrible and the showering room was freezing cold. Overall, though, a great place to stay for a good value!

we stayed in a private room on the 4th floor. staff were extremely helpful and friendly as stated in other reviews, there was however a foul odor in one of the restrooms and a slight odor in the kitchen area. perhaps it was temporary? otherwise, it was a good and convenient place to stay and would return in the future

This place was a good spot to stay. We were there in January, so it was a bit cold in Gyeongju, but there was a heated floor mat in the room, and a heated mattress topper, so it was warm enough. The staff was really helpful, and provided lots of information on how to get to Bulguk-sa and anywhere else we wanted to go. Most things are close enough to walk to, but it's fairly easy to take the bus as well. The showers left something to be desired, but that was partially due to my own ignorance.

Best place I stayed in Korea, so I extended my stay - other guest houses could learn a lot from this place's attitude. Great place to meet Koreans and other travellers, especially with the encouragement to socialise every night. Great permanent and voluntary staff, a good price and easy to get anywhere in Gyeongju (which is well worth visiting). Staff respond to all problems efficiently.

Really enjoyed our stay here, stayed in a private room- good size and very clean. Breakfast included which was great. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Only niggle is that if you stay in a private room you have to go downstairs for a shower through the stairwell. But would most definitely stay there again.

Great location and lovely and helping staff! Keep in mind, if you are staying there during the winter months, that the rooms and the showers may be extremely cold! However, Nahbi guest house is probably the best option for such a low price.

Best guesthouse we had so far =)

We had a great experience at the Nahbi. It has such a cool vibe! Also, supplying the ingredients for breakfast in the kitchen is a fun idea - we cooked for ourselves! The room was clean and quirky. The staff were really nice as well. It's a little more than a short walk from the train station, so if you've got big bags I'd take a cab. Within walking distance of some cool parks and the bus station. Also close to ATMs. I'd recommend staying here.
