stanloonaAn amazing once-in-a-lifetime hanok experience!! The place was absolutely beautiful, and our host was the kindest person ever. Their service was amazing, even providing us with a bottle of wine, and free breakfast even though it originally didn’t come with our booking. We visited Gyeongju for 3 nights during the windy winter of February, so some of the pros & cons may not be applicable for other seasons:
Pros:
- Amazing location: right in the heart of Gyeongju’s trendy hanok district, it is a few minutes walk from Hwangnidan-Gil street, Cheonmachong etc. Despite this district being absolutely PACKED in the weekend, our hanok was tucked in a more cozy, quiet corner, above a restaurant. It was then really quiet in our hanok, and we surprisingly didn’t have any problem of smells from the restaurant downstairs coming up into our rooms.
- Clean aesthetic that perfectly balances the vibes of a traditional hanok, and a modern hotel. Suitable for those travelling with older families, for example, who may not be able to sleep comfortably on hard floors. The interior designer for this hanok deserves a raise
- Floor heating was done well, and we didn’t feel cold at all despite the winds at night during our winter stay
- gigantic TV
- host was very kind and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp!
- appreciated that the toilet and shower were very clean and modern as well!
Cons:
- there weren’t any wardrobes, and not many hangers were provided to hang your clothes. It’s only a minor issue, since we had more coats for our winter wear. However, since most people are booking this hanok for short stays, it shouldnt be a big issue either
- as we came here via car at night, the parking lot assigned to us was a ~2min walk away from the actual hanok, so it was a bit confusing to locate the parking lot and hanok in the dark at first.
- at night, the winds in the winter get quite strong, and so like any wooden house - there will naturally be quite a bit of sound like the wooden door shaking, sound of wind etc. Coming from the city, we were a bit scared and thought there were intruders at first LOL. This isn’t a big problem (especially during less windy seasons), but I think it’s just worth keeping in mind, especially if you are very sensitive to sounds when sleeping.
If these cons aren’t applicable or big issues for you, then yes I would more than recommend this hanok stay!!! It’s a rare experience, and hence worth the money imho!

JP_in_SeoulReally convenient to be near lots of restaurants, there is a really good bakery cafe in the same building & coupons for the bar across the road.
Breakfast included in the stay is basic with eggs, toast and fried rice. There is juice but no coffee.
Rooms are huge as is the bath. Only minor thing was the light switches are meant to be remote controlled but that didn’t work so you have to manually go to the switches on the wall near the door.
Would stay again.

Its a pity that the upper floor rooms got occupied so we were assigned to lower floor and the room was facing n pretty close to a construction next to the hotel and so we were worrying abt the dust and noise and a bit disappointed with the ‘seaview’ outside the terrace… luckily the front desk lady offered us another room on the same floor facing the carpark instead so the sea is really just one car away and it feels so much better :] she even offer us to check the rooftop family that comes with jacuzzi but we didnt bring out swimsuits so its out of our consideration.
The room is huge and the view is superb, except 1. it d be better if theres a door/curtain for the toilet/bathroom area for privacy and also noise isolation; 2. The fridge and rubbish bin are a bit too small for a family-sized guests; 3. Lacking racks/hooks to hang clothes and towels when u shower, a bit inconvenient…
However everything else is awesome, they hv clothing disinfectant machine provided in the room, a giant size tv which is good for family, amenity kits come with most of the things u need including facial cleanser/toner/moisturiser. Theres a coffee machine and ice making machine at the lobby so u can het ur everyday coffee free. Also the public terrace on 10/f is super nice n chill with the sea view, its both nice both day n night, highly recommend!
There are tons of restaurants mostly grilled meat/seafood dishes in the neighbourhood as its right next to the famous beach where ppl comes here for the yeonglidae pavillion, which looks nice at night! Space walk is also nearby. The locals all do their morning exercise walk by strolling along the seashore bare feet! Theres a shoe rack storage and feet washing facilities provided so u can come enjoy bare-foot walking in empty hands and leave clean and dry!
Its a nice stay and i would recommend to others!

Guest UserThe hotel was overall okay for a short stay. The room was reasonably clean and had the basic amenities needed. The staff was polite and the check-in and check-out process was straightforward. While nothing stood out in particular, everything worked as expected. It is a suitable option if you are looking for a simple and practical place to stay.

步行 | TravellerI was really surprised by how good the location was. It is next to a fantastic Chinese restaurant frequented by many locals. The hotel has above average amenities for its price point. Big bedroom and hot tub with jet massage. The breakfast was a nice touch. The self service locker was also amazing add on. There are some slight downsides. First of all I found a long hair inside of the bed sheet (I do not have long hair). Second of all, the checkout time is 11 am and I received phone call at 10:50 am telling me to hurry up and check out or they will penalize me for being late. This might be a communication issue but this just comes off as very rude and avaricious on the part of the owners. There does seem to be many mini-surcharge here and there in the hotel, but luckily I didn’t bump into any of them.

규름This guesthouse was absolutely satisfying, allowing me to truly experience the traditional Hanok atmosphere. I usually stay in regular hotels or pensions, but this time, staying in a Hanok guesthouse definitely offered a unique charm.
From the moment I stepped in, I felt the tranquil and warm ambiance characteristic of Hanok, and it became even more enchanting at night. It's such a beautiful Hanok guesthouse that even passing foreigners stopped to take pictures!
The room was neatly maintained and well-equipped with everything I needed (Styler, Airwrap, Dyson vacuum cleaner, toaster, etc.). Thanks to the owner's thoughtful and meticulous attention to detail, I didn't even have to use any of the items I brought and could relax comfortably!
I was tired from traveling, and it was wonderful to soothe my fatigue in the warm jacuzzi!
With Daereungwon view right from the kitchen, and a Hwanglidan-gil food tour starting right outside the guesthouse!
The convenient location is truly amazing~~ And I'm grateful to the owner for thoughtfully helping with parking on a rainy day, which made moving my luggage much easier!
Most importantly, it was so, so good to take a break from my complicated daily life and quietly rest here~~~~
If you're looking to spend a night in a Hanok during your Gyeongju trip, I highly recommend experiencing this place. The guesthouse's atmosphere is great, and being able to relax comfortably made my trip even more satisfying. I had a pleasant stay at this wonderful guesthouse. If I'm in the area again, I'd love to visit again. Thank you!

Anonymous UserFrom check-in to check-out, all the staff were friendly. The room's interior with a raised platform was unique and surprisingly practical, which I really liked. Overall, the room was spacious and clean. Choosing a lake view room was a great decision, as I could see the outdoor pool below and Bomun Lake from day to night – it was fantastic!

Guest UserIt seems they don't really have Japanese-speaking staff, but since it was just a stay without meals, I figured getting the key would be enough. I was so happy that a lady who could speak a little Japanese explained everything so kindly. Be aware that being a Hanok (traditional Korean house), it can be a bit noisy. Luckily, my neighbors on both sides were quiet this time. One night wasn't enough to fully enjoy Gyeongju.
