Bellus Rose Pension Hotel

We so much enjoyed our two night stay at Bellus Rose recently (Aug 28-29). Mr and Mrs Parks were good hosts. As the other reviewers stated, they were lovely people who gave us all the important information on how to get around. The pension is very clean. We borrowed their free bikes for a ride around the lake when we arrived and walked to the local Korean restaurants. Be sure to purchase breakfast, as the only other coffee shop around is down towards the main road. Their pension is surrounded by other pensions, which had lots of other guests, but was still a quiet location. Loved being so close to the lake and buses. We were so happy to be in a pension, and not in one of the large hotels. Gyeongju has many things to see and do. We only briefly saw a few sites before heading back to Seoul. Just book it!

We spent 2 nights at Bellus Rose in early July and it was a very nice experience. Our 7 years old daughter loved it and enjoyed the swim in the garden pool and our big breakfast in the balcony. The room was clean and cosy, big enough for two adults and a child. The owners were very nice and ready to help at every chance.

We were picked up at the train station by the owner and as we had not had dinner, she took us to a restaurant and had them call when we were done. We were taken to her house, which was very pleasant. Our breakfasts each morning were more than satisfactory. The location was a 15 minute walk to the bus to take us to town, although the owner drove us to the bus stop and back to the train station when we were ready to leave. We would recommend this pension for a Korean experience; better than a standard hotel.

The hotel was good, the room was big and with a kitchen. The bed a quite firm as others have stated. A taxi is probably the best way to get to the hotel from the train or express bus station as it is a little bit hidden. Make sure you have the telephone number for the taxi driver to call since it is hard to find. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful. We arrived very late but she still gave us an orientation about the area and how to get around. She even brought us a schedule of the KTX trains that we were going to take the next day. It was raining the next day and she lent us an umbrella to use. This hotel had the best service I've ever encountered at a hotel of any price. Thank you again for the hospitality.

The manager rents 7 rooms in her lovely home. Ours was decorated in a typical American country style with a small kitchenette and bathroom with Western toilet and Korean shower. Breakfast American style can be delivered to your room; a bit expensive for what you get. This pension is very far from town and the rail and bus stations. There is a bus stop a 10-15 minute walk from the house, but no sidewalks and ditches on the side of tje road so watch your kids and your roll aboard suitcases. Mrs. Park often offers to drive you to or pick you up at the bus stop. She speaks some English and goes all out to try to help you have a great time. The important sights are very spread out. We recommend taking the city tour. Even though most of it is in Korean, there is enough information given in English and the transport from site to sure is efficient. You can see all the important historical sights in one day and will feel that you got your money's worth. Mrs. Park will set it up for you.

The owner was extremely helpful and pleasant. She speaks enough English to help with any question, and helped us in any way she could. Breakfast was delicious. We were very pleased with this hotel.

My husband and I enjoyed everything about the Bellus Rose Guest House. Mr and Mrs Park could not have been more welcoming and our little apartment was wonderful. We would definitely stay there again. The breakfast was all that a beakfast should be. Although we didn't have a car, it was only a 10 minute walk to the bus stop and the bus service in Gyeong'ju is wonderful - it is very easy to get around..

Mrs Park made us feel most welcome. She picked us up from the station which was a great help as I would imagine it would be difficult to find. We would recommend both breakfast and barbecues - great value. Rooms large and comfortable with kitchenettes. 10 minute walk from the bus stop, where there are a few restaurants and a 7 11. We did struggle a bit with the buses, mainly when we were getting a second bus from town. I would recommend a stay at Bellus Rose.

I enjoyed staying at the Bellus Rose Pension. The location is rural, generally quiet except for the roosters, and surrounded by rice fields and a few other small hotels. It is a 15-minute walk to the main road, where there are several Korean restaurants and a 7-11 store. From the road, buses took me everywhere quickly. One day, the owner offered me a bicycle to go to Gyeongju. It was probably a 30 minute bike ride (I am not accustomed to biking), very pleasant on a bike path along a river. It is a great way to visit the sights in Gyeongju, especially if you have a good map. The owner speaks some English, and was extremely helpful. She picked me up at the train station, asked me what I had done each day and offered me suggestions of what to do, and as I said, encouraged me to take the bicycle once she learned of my plans. The hotel has both wired and wireless Internet. I only used the wired, and was very happy with how fast I could save my full-sized pictures online.

It was a good place to stay the owner was super nice and accomidating. Had some trouble with the heat but she worked feverishly to get it fixed. As with all beds in Korea it was hard but it was a cute place to stay and we enjoyed our time there.
