"경주 이재호텔 숙박 후기 (2박 3일) 2025년 5월 29일부터 2박 3일간 경주 이재호텔에 머물렀습니다. 모던한 감성과 일본 료칸 스타일이 조화를 이루는 고급스럽고 정갈한 분위기의 호텔이었고, 첫인상부터 매우 만족스러웠습니다. 체크인도 간편했고 직원분들이 정말 친절했는데, 그중 권현우 직원님의 세심하고 따뜻한 응대가 특히 인상 깊었습니다. 객실은 넓고 청결했으며, 나무 욕조가 있는 욕실과 아로마 오일 선택 서비스, 허브 티 제공 등 작은 디테일들이 숙박의 만족도를 크게 높여주었습니다. 식사는 석식과 조식 모두 정성스럽고 훌륭했습니다. 석식은 사시미, 도미 조림, 테이블에서 구워먹는 고기와 야채, 밥과 국까지 제대로 된 구성으로 나왔고, 조식은 깔끔한 전복죽과 물김치로 부담 없이 즐길 수 있었습니다. 프라이빗 독채탕도 매일 90분간 이용할 수 있어 힐링하기에 정말 좋은 경험이었습니다. 다만 아쉬웠던 점은 두 가지입니다. 하나는 위치로, 불국사와는 가깝지만 첨성대, 동궁과...

"I don't give reviews often... but I hope the property owner read my review and makes an improvement for future guest as it is located with a nice view. I think the mattress we slept on was a box spring, not a mattress. Seriously... Please consider placing mattress topper on top of the box spring at least. My husband and I kept tossing all night long as it was extremely uncomfortable to feel the metal springs on our body. We were just glad that it was only one night say. shampoo/conditioner...

"Sitio excelente! Vinimos buscando un poco de paz y tranquilidad después de unos días de mucho cansancio y el sitio superó las expectativas con creces. El entorno precioso, todo cuidadísimo al detalle. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida, en todo momento se mostraron amables y siempre dispuestos a ayudarnos. La comida muy gustosa y deliciosa. Nos vamos con muy buena sensación. Sin duda una estancia que recordaremos con mucho cariño. Les deseo mucho éxito."
