Good for an overnight - all you need in this city
Pros:

Location is ok, quite close to bus stops. The room was compact as expected, but clean and the bed was comfortable. The really cheap laundry is an excellent option. I didn’t try breakfast during my stay.

Cons:

There is a window in the room but it’s a few centimetres from the wall of the adjacent building, so no natural light in the room which I personally dislike a lot.

Pros:

The staff was nice

Cons:

This is not really a hotel, but a backpacker-style hostel priced like a hotel.

Most rooms have no real external window, a crucial fact that was not made clear on Booking.com. In our room, what appears to be a window actually opens onto a wall, with the air-conditioning compressor mounted directly outside. The resulting noise was extremely disturbing.

The towels provided are another indication of the standard: instead of normal bath towels, guests receive tiny towels approximately the size of face towels.

Breakfast is equally misleading. You are given basic ingredients such as eggs and milk, but must cook your own breakfast and then wash your own plates, cups and utensils.

We have travelled extensively and have never encountered this in a property marketed and priced as a hotel.

The staff are friendly, but that does not compensate for the lack of transparency. There is nothing wrong with running a hostel — but it should be described honestly and priced accordingly.

Future guests should know exactly what they are booking. At the price we paid, this was extremely poor value and a very disappointing experience.

Pros:

Hotel jest czysty, przyjemny i ma bardzo przystępną cenę. Jeśli przybędzie się przed 15, można zostawić tu swoje bagaże i zacząć zwiedzać Gyeongju zanim się zameldujemy.
Obsługa zna język angielski w stopniu podstawowym, ale z pomocą translatora, jest w stanie wszystko przekazać i odpowiedzieć na pytania.

Cons:

Dla mnie nie stanowiło to dużego problemu, ale może inni chcieliby to wiedzieć zanim przeżyją rozczarowanie: "mini" w nazwie hotelu mówi o nim wszystko. To jest mały hotel, gdzie standardowe pokoje są małe, więc jeśli masz dużo bagaży, rozważ większy pokój, lub inny hotel. W moim pokoju było też małe okno, które wychodziło na ścianę sąsiedniego budynku.
Jeśli lubisz duży wybór podczas śniadania, ten hotel też nie jest dla ciebie. Jest chleb tostowy, ser żółty, jakaś wędlina, itp. Można sobie samemu usmażyć jajko, ale ja trafiłem podczas śniadania na panią, która smażyła kilkanaście jaj dla całej swojej rodziny i nie udało mi się, bo dostępna jest kuchenka gazowa z jednym palnikiem. Po śniadaniu należy po sobie pozmywać.
