Wiyeonjae Hanok Stay

Wiyeonjae Hanok Stay

10/10 Excellent
"Very close to the historic site. Well kept Hanok and the owner was friendly enough and did her best to communicate with us. The room was neat and toiletries were provided. Breakfast was provided but if you leave early morning to start your sightseeing then you miss out on the breakfast. A stone throw away from a convenience store, though there are eateries a few blocks away. Very safe to walk around at night as there are always a bus load of tourists out and about."

"We stayed at Soi Hanok for our 1st anniversary and it was amazing. We last minute had to add a night because we didn't realize we stayed during Chuseok. We booked one additional night before we stayed in a different room and they made the transition to the larger room the next day so easy. Room was beautiful, they provided breakfast during our first morning which was amazing. The host was very responsive and helpful to all the questions we had over WhatsApp. Definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants a great experience being in the heart of Gyeongju."

"Great value for the price. The location of the hotel is perfect for walking to most sites. The breakfast was okay and cereal is available after breakfast hours. Free ramen and rice were available until the cafe closed for the night. Purchasing detergent and using the laundry machines was seamless. I huge plus for me was netflix being available on the TV. I wasn’t a fan of the bath towel situation. They give you four hand towels in the room, but you have to get a bath towel from the front desk. Why not just stock them in the individual rooms? Overall it was a good experience and I would return."
