The staff was incredibly friendly!!!! Even without knowing English, they do their best-efforts using Google translate and really helped us with a local call we had to do.

“Comfortable, professional and centralised.”
Super friendly and helpful staff. Close to the bus station. Not noisy at night. Not too far from the main sightseeing street, just a few bus stops away. Very clean. Spacious room. Dry cleaning machine in room! Excellent view to the river.

Good hotel in Gyeongju, very close to the bus terminal. Comfortable room and everything worked nicely. Very good location, in town and overlooked by mountains. Cheomseongdae within walking distance (and other sites nearby). Bus stops nearby allowing easy journeys to sites within Gyeongju.

“Wish we could have stayed longer”
Absolutely exceeded our expectations! The staff was wonderfully helpful, the room and facilities were amazing and the location was superb, near both the intercity bus station and the express bus, ideal if you want to travel to other cities like Andong. It's also just a 20 minute stroll away from major sights and restaurants.

“Beautiful 😍”
This hotel was so close to the bus stop terminal which was helpful. There were a few local eateries around. I walked to the observatory, it was an easy walk. If I am ever in gyeonju I will stay here again. Only thing this time I will include breakfast.

“Very comfortable stay in a great location”
Excellent hotel in a great spot. A quiet, very comfortable room serving an excellent breakfast. Walkable to the bus stop for arrival and onward travel. We managed to also walk to nearly all the tourist spots or catch a local bus. Gyeongju is an amazing place and we’re so glad we allocated 3 nights here. Thank you

“Return visit to Gyeongju”
The Rivertain Hotel was well located for our staty, a 10-15 min taxi ride away from the KTX station, the Intercity bus station was a very short walk away, handy to a large supermarket, local restaurants and attractions on foot. We had minimal interaction with any staff, reception spoke no English at check-in but no difficulties. Our room was well appointed, large enough for our luggage, comfortable mattress with 4 pillows, bottom sheet with thick quilt, small table and 2 chairs, facing a local street but double glazed windows provided us with a quiet night's sleep with air-conditioning. We enjoyed the large Smart TV with access to our Netflix account. There was a LG Steam cupboard in the room. The bathroom was a separate toilet and shower configuration with plenty of nice smelling toiletries. The included breakfast buffet was a real hit with the two of us, a good selection of Korean and Western dishes, no yoghurt though. The tariff was very reasonable, I highly recommend the Rivertain Hotel.

“good allrounder”
hotel was in a older area, but right nesr the intercity bus terminal, making a transfer to Busan very easy (recommended). Also close to river and main attractions (tombs and palace) as well as local bus to out of town attractions. Heaps of local restaurants but not a great deal of English. Highly recommend little bossam diner 80m up the road. superb (see pic) not a lot of English at reception but all good. breaky included.... simple and interesting, making it all very good value. smallish room bit clean and simple

The location close to the main bus station of the city (useful for arrival and departure), and only 10min walk to the city centre. The breakfast was included in the price and offered a large range of choices. The staff was very kind.
