• Christine (10/5): - Notre hôte nous a tres bien accueilli et a passé du temps pour nous conseiller sur les visites à faire, les détails pratiques et sur les restaurants. La guesthouse est très confortable et très bien située. Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour
• Shona (10/5): Stay here, you won’t regret it! - Everything! Junny, is the most delightful and helpful host. From her welcome introduction, to our room upgrade, to the daily room clean and fresh towels, to helping us with local restaurant recommendations and bus information. She made our stay a dream. Room was incredibly spacious and the beds were the most comfortable we had during our trip. Immaculately clean throughout. Quiet. Very well located. We stayed 3 nights and loved it. We highly recommend staying with Junny and her husband :)

• Elisa (10/5): -
• Elena (10/5): Sin dudarlo volvería!! Hotel perfecto! - Todo!!! Pero en especial Junny y su marido hacen de este lugar una maravilla. El lobby tiene una decoración muy interesante y cercana y las habitaciones son cómodas y limpias. Nos hicieron un upgrade por venir de lejos considerando que traeríamos mucho equipaje, que no era el caso. Maravillosa la explicación que nos hicieron de la ciudad y qué ver! Sin duda sin la ayuda de Junny no lo habríamos logrado. Te incluye el desayuno lo que es genial para empezar el día. Nos ayudaron también a pedir un taxi a la estación y hablar con el taxista. Las recomendaciones de los restaurantes top top. Ojalá encontremos más alojamientos así en nuestros viajes. 100% recomendable. Si tengo la suerte de volver, volveré a escoger este hotel.
• junghi (10/5): - Som muy amables y nos proporcionaron las informaciones prácticas para la visita de la ciudad y la zona turística de la ciudad. El establecimiento es muy limpio y nos gustó mucho la calidad de la cama Quizá la luz de la calle que entraba por la ventana. Le propondría cortinas de tipo opaco
• Sojka (10/5): Merci pour ce séjour, tout à était parfait je reviendrais - Tout était parfait, l’accueil est incroyable Junny est adorable et aidante, elle prend le temps pour nous conseiller sur les visites à faire, les bus et les restaurants. Je reviendrais parce qu’elle me manque déjà et je recommande + + + L’endroit est idéalement bien situé pour les bus, restaurants et même les visites c’est hyper pratique.
• Yanz12345 (10/5): - Junny is such a lovely host, everything was really clean and comfortable, and the guesthouse is in a great location close to the town's main tourist attractions and bus stops. We really enjoyed our stay in Gyeongju, thank you!
• Dion (10/5): Perfect stay , the highlight of my trip to Korea! - Great hotel and excellent host. Staying here has been the highlight of my trip to Korea. I received excellent communication from Hwarang Guesthouse. I found the beds very comfortable, the rooms are very clean and spacious. Location is perfect, walking distance to many historic attractions, public transport, restaurants, shopping and convenience stores. Junhee the owner helped me plan my days in Gyeongju to make sure I was able to see all the sights. She recommended some very good local restaurants with delicious food. This place is hidden gem! I will stay here next time in Gyeongju.

• Giorgio (10/5): Posto eccellente in una cittadina eccellente - Posizione centrale e camere pulitissime. Ottima la host che ci ha mostrato con calma itinerari da seguire . Veramente un grande aiuto . Forse un arredo un po’ più ricco sarebbe gradito e la colazione con caffè non solubile
• catherine (10/5): Thank you for a wonderful stay! - The location was perfect and the staff so so helpful, with maps readily available and directions at hand too. It was lovely to have a chat and learn about the area as well and know the spots to visit. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. The space in the common area and bedrooms was spacious.

• André (10/5): A personal experience - Junny gave a real personalized check-in experience. Gave me tons of information on arrival. The guesthouse is simple but functional, it is exactly what it needs to be. Around it there are some nice restaurants and it is close to good transport and sightseeing options. Comfortable and clean bed. Good hot water. Nothing went missing.
• Maya (10/5): Exceptional - I loved everything! From the location to how helpful, kind, attentive Junny (one of the owners) was. You will get any information and even more about what to do and where to eat in Gyeongju from her. The guesthouse is located in a quiet but close to main attractions and the bus terminal place.

The accomodation has everything you need if you plan on being out for the day. The room is very clean and new towels are provided every day. The guesthouse is a short walk from the main historical site and a variety of other attractions, restaurants and bars. There are also regular buses from the end of the road.
• Laura (9/5): Superb - Junny was really a great host! She knew a lot about how to move around all the city and the surroundings and was really prepared, for example, about the exact time in which was better to take that bus. She really helped me a lot in seeing the best of Gyeongju and some things outside I didn’t know about. She also helped me a lot in finding a notebook I had lost and I really am grateful to her! The room was nice and comfortable. Everything was written down (also in English!) and all the instructions were really clear, even for foreigners, a thing I found it difficult to find in other places in South Korea.
• Emelia (9/5): Great location and host - The location of this hostel is amazing and the room was very clean and comfortable. I could walk or bus everywhere very easily. It was so nice that there was a simple breakfast available, too! Junny the host was so friendly and knowledgeable. She helped me plan out my stay so I could see everything in the time I had. Would highly recommend!
• Christine (9/5): Superb - Great location, walking distance to most of attractions , food and intercity bus terminal /stops. The host explains the attractions and advises the best time to catch the bus to the temple . Much appreciated as it saves time to connecting shuttle Just the electric powerpoints on top of bed location and would be nice to have one near the table
• Esteban (10/5): Exceptional -
• Simon (7/5): Good -
• Alexander (9/5): Fantastic staff, great location and very practical ammenities -
• Oliv_n (10/5): Excellent stay in a lovely town. - Walking distance to Gyeongju's main attractions. Located in a small alley which makes it quiet. Restaurants, shops, cafes, bus stops around. Cosy guesthouse. Very clean. Despite the fact that the guesthouse has existed for 10 years, it looks fresh and new. The room is comfortable and facilities as per Korean standards. Junny was a precious source of information and planned our entire sightseeing day with impressive precision and efficiency. Great local restaurant recommendations. I would surely stay there again.
• Naomi (10/5): Exceptional - Junny the owner with her husband truly is the heart of this place. She was so generous with her recommendations which were all amazing! She really is a great ambassador of the city and local businesses. The rooms are basic but lovely and clean. Junny was also really conscious to ask if I was warm enough with the changing seasons. For extra blankets etc.
• Melissa (10/5): Exceptional -
• Carina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Arthur (10/5): Exceptional -
• Leonel (8/5): The location was great and the host (Junny) was really helpful and polite. -
• Brian2d (10/5): Amazing. Best host ever - Amazing place. Junny may be the best host I've ever had. Nothing. Zero. Nada.
• Jeonghee (10/5): Exceptional - Location was good to go sightseeing.
• Liu (9/5): Superb - Junny is very nice and gentle, with perfect English, take time with each customer and give detailed information on the map for all the places to visit, and good adresse for restaurants. It was a pleasure to meet her Could be better to have a desk in the room
• Kandice (10/5): Incredibly friendly and helpful - As other reviews have said, the owner Junny is very friendly! Her husband is also very helpful-- if you can speak a bit of Korean. We talked for a long time, got a bunch of recommendations and it made our trip so much better. Highly recommend! The room was a bit plain, but we expected that and it had all the basics we needed!
• Alexandre (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ben (8/5): Very good - Friendly and helpful host. Clean room and good location. Nice communal space. Hosts provided eggs, jam and bread/toast free of charge for you to make breakfast yourself. Good value for money.
• Stephanie (10/5): Great place to stay - Excellent location within easy walking distance to the historical sites, local restaurants and a 7/11. The bus stop for the big temple and the museum is close by. My room was furnished very simply with two single beds and a stool and with power points near the beds. The beds are Korean style in that they are quite firm and don't come with sheets. However, they are still comfortable. The bathroom is small in typical Korean guesthouse style. Toiletries are provided. Breakfast is bread, cheese slices and eggs. There is orange juice and you can make coffee. Junny is very kind and caring and explains everything while providing a map and all the information that you need. No issues with the WiFi. I find it hard to sleep in a room that isn't dark, but that's a personal thing. The railway station is a long way out of town and you will need to take a taxi or find out the local bus number.
• Elena (10/5): Exceptional - Junny was the most helpful person since the first minute we got in the hostel. We got such a warm welcome, which we didn't expect. We got information from the town, places to eat... And she was always there to chat or ask us how our day had been. Thanks so much!
• Julien (10/5): Best hotel Gyeongju - Perfect hotel in Gyeongju : - location could not be better. Easy to reach with bus, and then you can do everything by walking. - staff is 100% friendly. They will give you all the advices and tips you need to know to enjoy your trip. - rooms are very very clean and confortable, and the common area is great. If you're looking for a hotel in Gyeongju, don't miss this one, you can't find better. Nothing !
• Huda (10/5): Absolutely lovely host! - Junny was an amazing host who was very knowledgeable about Gyeongju and was able to plan an itinerary of must-dos in Gyeongju for me based on the number of days I was staying. I particularly loved the personalised plan and treatment I received from Junny, and it definitely made my Gyeongju experience even better! The room and bathroom were clean, and the bathroom had required amenities such as toothpaste, shampoo, body wash, etc.
• Bill (10/5): Most helpful and friendlt staff ever! - Junny is incredibly proactive and helpful! She went the extra mile to check everything for us and make sure we got to where we needed to go, when we were supposed to. During check in she tried to message me a couple times, but I could not check my emails, so she left all the information at the front desk for me. Very patient of her and very bad of me! Definitely stay with her in her very cosy hostel if you get a chance!

• Dave (10/5): Excellent!! - Hwarang is simple, clean, and comfortable. The location is excellent. And the best thing is that the host, Junny, is so helpful and friendly. She really cares for you to have a great experience in Gyeongju, and offers much advice for getting around and seeing the things that this city has to offer!!! Thank you!!! When I return to Gyeongju I will definately come back to this guesthouse! Ps. I only spent one night in Gyeongju, but I quickly realised there is much beauty here. I would recommend 2-3 nights at least.
• Lena (10/5): Exceptional - We really enjoyed our stay at Hwarang Guesthouse! The host Junny took a lot of time to explain where all the sights were that we wanted to see and she marked all the spots on a map. She was always super helpful and kind. Breakfast is simple but good (toast, eggs, sandwich-cheese, jam, coffee and juice). Our room was clean and the towels were changed every day. The location of the hostel is great since you can walk to almost all tourist attractions (you have to take a bus to go to the main temple but Junny will give you the bus schedules for that). Would definitely come here again The bathroom is small so everything gets wet when you shower but that's pretty normal here.
• Simon (8/5): Very good -
• Lara (10/5): Amazing guesthouse! - The hosts, Junny and her husband, are amazing. Junny is very available and takes good care of you. I was sick during my stay (bad case of the flu) and since I don’t speak Korean she accompanied me to the doctor and helped me get the meds that were prescribed to me. (Thanks again Junny 💜) The main areas and my room were perfectly clean and I liked the atmosphere of the guesthouse. I would definitely stay there again. It’s also well connected to the different sights in Gyeongju and to the bus stops for Bulguksa.
• Ioannis (10/5): Highly recommended. - Very friendly and helpful people. Everything was fine. If I had to add something I would recommend to improve the breakfast variety including milk .
• Brett (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent stay. From the through welcome and city orientation through to the comfortable facilities and tasty breakfast.
• Lynn (7/5): Bright and modern - Good size twin room with very comfortable beds. Guest house is clean and well run with large communal seating area. Access to a fridge, hour water and microwave . Good location close to buses, market, tourist area. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Limited breakfast options (bread, jam, eggs, ham, tea and coffee) especially for people allergic to eggs. No butter or milk but these are readily available at local convenience stores if you need them.
