Bellus Rose Pension Hotel

We stayed for 6 nights. The pension is in an area with a group of similar pensions. It is not in the main tourist area and is about a 15 minute walk to the food village and bus stop. The owners are very attentive and offer to take you to the bus stop or tourist attractions in close proximity. However taxis are cheap and we got to know a local taxi driver who also turned out to be a good guide.

Reviews should not just be based on the friendliness of the owners. They are very helpful, but this should not be a reason to overlook the major issues related to this 'hotel?' and location. To start the rooms are very uniquely decorated, but are not very functional or clean. For example they have massive tvs, but you can not see the tv from the bed due to hanging decor and small sofa pointing in wrong direction. There is also a lot of wasted space that can be used better. The room was not clean, stains on the sheets, weird stains and marks in the bathroom and kitchen area. Dirt in the kitchen cupboards. The bathroom is a full wet room which cause water to flow everywhere including around the toilet. The bed is very tough like sleeping on a floor, not a comfortable sleep for the challenging day ahead. The location is in the middle of nowhere, even our taxi driver laughed when we gave him the directions from the KTX station. Its a 15 minute walk to the main road to catch the relevant buses, but you have no bus timetable, so be careful not to miss the late bus. The area in general is remote and difficult to navigate. Its difficult to stay in this area if you don't have a car, its not really enjoyable by foot to get around to the sights. The local restaurants are all traditional Korean not much variety. We decided to make a break and leave early in the morning for the next KTX. We also did not get the room we booked. READ THE REVIEWS VERY CAREFULLY AND READ BETWEEN THE LINES.

Bellus Rose was the perfect fit for our family stay. The owners were very attentive and so very nice. We were personally greeted by the owners and shown to our room. She took the time to go over the tourist map and give us driving time to major attractions. The room was very clean and spacious with a balcony. The room had various amenities such as a large flat screen tv, private bath, fridge, kitchen sink, stove and kitchen utensils. We are a family of five and we had plenty of room for our kiddos' cots. I do believe that you can request roll away beds, but we brought our own. The pension also has an outdoor pool area. It was in the back garden area, very clean/relaxing. Our kids loved it! Breakfast can be purchased for an additional charge. It was delivered to our room and was yummy! It was a great stay and we highly recommend Bellus Rose!

Bellus Rose was a lovely peaceful place whose greatest asset is the landlady Mrs Park. The rooms which were cheerful and comfortable, look out onto a pleasant garden with a swimming pool that was wonderful in the hot weather we experienced. It is situated in the Pension Village in the area known as Buk gun Dong. Although out of the main area of the city it is well serviced by the No.700,10 and 11 buses. The Bellus Rose is about a 12 minute walk from the bus stop but Mrs Park will drop you off and pick you up if you want her to. In the same area is a food village with a wide variety of places to eat. Mrs Park speaks English and will help you plan your day, make bookings for you and lend you a bicycle to explore the area on. We spent four most enjoyable days here and highly recommend it.

Just as advertised, this hotel is beautifully decorated with easy access to restaurants and tourist attractions. Ms. Park went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our stay (provided maps and valuable information about the area. We enjoyed our stay and will definitively return if we are in the area.

The hotel is very far from civilization. if you own your own transport it would perhaps be better. For the amount paid it was really not worth it when you can get a downtown hotel with full amenities. The room looked pretty enough like the advert but I am very sure the sheets and bedding used were not freshly laundered. It feels it has been used before.. For a room with kitchenette facility the least they could do was provide free tea and coffee as the place was too far from convenient stores even if I don't mind paying for it myself. Overall disappointing except the place was nicely country and you get to enjoy the fresh air in the morning.

The pension owners were very friendly and helpful. The bus stop was a distance from the pension. We went there in winter and it was rather cold so they offered to drive us to the bus stop and back to the pension when we return. They also gave us information about the attractions in Gyeongju. The whole stay was comfortable and pleasant.

Rooms are big and clean with kitchenettes, the owner is very friendly/helpful, and the western breakfast is actually decent (a rarity in Korea). The owner will also pick you up from the bus station and drop you off at the bus stop when leaving, which is the only reason why the location is okay. It's a solid 15 minute walk (probably more with luggage) to the bus stop, and the buses in in Gyeongju don't run frequently. That being said, once you're there, it's a good base for exploring the Bomun lake area. They have bikes (old but useable) available for free so you can bike around the lake.

Very clean and spacious rooms. Foremost Mrs. Park who runs the place was awesome!! Helped us with renting a car to pointing out the sights to visit and all her recommended restaurants were great!

best service experience I have had, Ms Park is so lovely and really goes the extra mile. One night my wife and I was asking back to the hotel from dinner and Ms Park drove past and then stopped and pick us up. The rooms are very nice and cute, it is a very peaceful and beautiful location. the breakfast for KRW10,000 is very good. We would stay there again.
