Unwelcome feeling
Pros:

Hotel itself is good but the staffs were not very friendly. We had many instances where they were not very welcoming. One of the lady staff in reception said something rude and inappropriate in korean. We understand korean so it was really bad experience and ruined our stay. Also, they start cleaning rooms early in the morning and are very loud like banging stuffs. It ruins the calm looking vibe very quickly.

Expérience typique hanok
Pros:

Endroit typique et charmant, vous dormez dans un hanok typique. Au coeur d’un petit jardin à l’ambiance apaisante.
Le personnel parle très bien anglais et est accueillant. Possibilité de louer des hanbok gratuitement s’il ne pleut pas.

Le confort reste rudimentaire, c’est une expérience de dormir dans un futon, matelas très fin, couverture et petit coussin de riz. Une nuit c’est ok, au bout de deux nuits on ressent le mauvais sommeil et la fatigue.

L’insonorisation peut être un peu léger, on entends l’air conditionné des voisins. Je recommande d’y aller en basse saison. Pour le reste le bruit de la rue ou du quartier ne s’est pas entendu.

Un séjour mémorable et charmant
Pros:

Notre séjour à Gyeongju était incroyable ! L’hôtel est sublime et très bien situé près des monuments à visiter et des restaurants. Nous avons été correctement installé dans notre petite hanok, une expérience à faire et refaire ! Vraiment, ils ont été adorable et très serviable, je reviendrai !

Pros:

Great Hanok accommodation which included dressing in hambok for 1 hour to get photos in the Hanok. Staff were super helpful and friendly, salt bread cafe right next door and centrally located for shopping, dining and most major sites! We really enjoyed our experience in the Hanok and wearing the hanbok too made us really experience Korea!

Hanok très bien placé pour visiter Gyeongju
Pros:

Très joli site. Hanok Très bien situé. Parfait pour visiter la très belle ville de Gyeongju avec ses tumuli.
En revanche il faut s'habituer à dormir quasiment au sol. Dur dur.
Pas de petit-déjeuner et nuit un peu chère pour la Corée mais Gyeongju est touristique.

Flott Hanok opplevelse
Pros:

Koselig Hanok hotell, akkurat det du bør forvente 😊 Koelige rom og et nydelig hotellområde. Selvbetjent gratis Hambok utleie for hotellgjester og en nydelig karpedam. Gode rom, selv om kanskje ikke Hanok stilen passer alle 😊

Pros:

한옥 숙박 체험하기에는 좋았습니다.
단, 룸컨디션은 한옥 특성상 쾌적한 느낌은 다소 적게느껴졌습니다. 목재.창호지등 특유의 향이 나서 적응이 좀 필요했습니다.
황리단길과 인접해있어 편의성은 아주 좋았습니다.

We enjoyed it!
Pros:

Very nice hotel in a very good area, a little bit far from the station but with the Korean public transportation being very efficient is not going to be a problem to reach the location. The whole establishment is amazing and the STAFF is friendly and helpful. Room was immaculate we book again if back in Gyeongju for the great experience!

A opportunity for a traditional stay
Pros:

A great experience to stay in a traditional Hanok House. We did choose the bed option but the space was wonderful as we had two spaces plus a bathroom. We had everything we needed and fresh towels were provided daily. They also offer free Hanbok rentals but we didnt get time to use this.
