Hotels near Anapji Pond, Gyeongju

I had such a wonderful stay at this hanok-style hotel that I’m already dreaming of coming back. From the moment I arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming and thoughtfully prepared. The traditional architecture, the soft lights in the courtyard at night and the view over the tiled rooftops created a very special atmosphere that you just don’t get in a “normal” hotel. My room was cozy, bright and spotlessly clean. I especially loved the little wooden platform by the window with the cushions – it became my favorite spot to sit with a book, drink a coffee and look out over the rooftops and mountains. Waking up to that view in the morning and seeing the same roofs softly lit at night made my stay feel almost magical. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. You can feel that they really care about their guests and about sharing Korean culture. The small details, like the beautiful traditional bookmark as a gift, made me feel genuinely appreciated and added a personal touch I will not forget. Overall, this stay was one of the highlights of my trip. If you are looking for a place that combines comfort, authenticity and a peaceful atmosphere in the middle of a hanok neighborhood, I can only highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely love to stay here again.

Beautiful hanok and a simple 3-mins walk from main road where the taxi will drop you off to the actual hotel. Host was very helpful, allowed us to check in earlier at 1pm and helped us to check timing and called a restaurant to book for our dinner. Also, free breakfast was provided although timing is fixed at 8.30am. Overall, a very pleasant stay and definitely recommended for anyone who wants an authentic experience!

Totally recomend, great experience, nice facilities really clean, friendly owner. You have the breakfast option as well. Definitly recomend!

The staff was lovely and the accommodation was beautiful!

The Hanok was so beautiful, and it was very spacious and comfortable. The temperature was well-controlled. There was a small outdoor pool, though it seemed to be only available in the summer. To the right, there was a barbecue area with tables. We also had a campfire, but since we only stayed one night, we weren't able to fully enjoy it. It was the best accommodation I've ever stayed in. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Gyeongju.

I wanted to visit after it was remodeled, so I went and found it clean inside and out. It was a great place to watch the sunset and take a morning walk along the lake. The breakfast menu was varied and delicious. The ocean views and sauna facilities were also nice.

It was clean and spacious. Like I've mentioned before, this hotel does not have an elevator, so there's a lot of walking the stairs. They have a dumbwaiter to take your bags to the designated floor. The staff were friendly and cheerful. I didn't use the fridge or the hair dryer or the toiletries. However, I don't like to carry shampoo, shower gel, and conditioners, which they had provided, and the best thing was the bathroom slippers. I am looking forward to buying one and taking it home.

Beautiful chalet-style place for staying! The bed is very comfortable. The room is clean and organised. A few chairs and a table to do work or eat. Very spacious area for watching tv. There’s a bbq pit outside each unit. The host brought fresh towels for my second night, thank you! I love the beautiful decoration and swimming pool downstairs, even though it’s cold at night. It has a charming atmosphere, with an outdoor screen, swings and nice music. Sound insulation is ok, although you can hear the frogs croak outside from the bathroom. The place is about 20 mins’ walk from the bus stop with restaurants, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Theres a emart24 about 10 minutes away. There’s a restaurant next door that sells fried chicken till 11pm. It’s a must-try! Host and his wife are extremely helpful people. Thank you for your warm hospitality! Highly recommended for people who want privacy and lots of space to hang out.

Nice traditional hotel with friendly staff, facilities so traditional.

It was clean and nice, but it was so cold when I entered the room. That was the only downside.
