Gyeongju is my first stop during my travel in Korea. I take a bus arriving here from Incheon airport directly. The hotel's location is convenient that can easily get to here following staff's instructions. Staff are friendly and quite helpful on everything. Hotel offers good breakfast. I love Gyeongju's rich Buddhism culture as it is the ancient capital city of Silla.

A proper Backpacker's, made by a backpacker. You could tell by the design and also overall set up. Very clean and the dorm ensuite is spacious and has a bathtub! That's a first. Centrally located and very social, they operate a bar right next door and that's where all the socialising happens every night. Kitchen was well equipped, and they even have a huge basement with Netflix, games, and a long table for parties. I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a postcard of my city displayed right at the reception! I haven't met the owner but the volunteers there are friendly. Totally loved the place! Well done to the owner.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    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.
