    We stayed in a private room which was clean and sized to the budget. There were free laundry facilities, which we were delighted to use. There was a good breakfast included. The bus station is nearby. The guesthouse / hostel was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone spending a few nights in Gyeongju on a budget.

    The hostel is close to a lot of sightseeing spots and bus stations to reach sightseeing spots that are a little bit further away. The price was really cheap and there is coffee, tea and toast with strawberry jam in the morning as breakfast. The shutters of the window made it really dark in the room, for good sleep. There was curtain in the bathroom, so the toilet wouldn't get wet while showering.

    Excellent location, it was a 2 minute walk from the Silla Dynasty Tombs information centre, from here you can walk down to the Daereungwon Tomb Complex, then the 7th century astronomical tower Cheomseongdae, then on to Donggung Palace and Wolji Pond, etc... all the stuff you're told to see in Gyeungju is in one place and right near the hostel. Staff were extremely helpful and welcoming, met some really nice other backpackers here, highly recommend.

    This is the best hostel I have been in Korea by far. Incredible cool areas, the owner was a traveller and he seems to know very well what backpackers are looking for. There is even a manga library and a videogame area! Quite geek everything. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, very good location and with a great ambiance, quite cheap and with a complet breakfast included, what more can you ask for?
