Great location. You can rent bikes down the street for $6 USD/day and return them at 9 pm. Bicycles can get you to all the main sites without advanced skill, though 15 minute ride-segments to reach it all. We didn't use taxis except to the Bulguksa Buddhist temple about 20 minutes outside of town, definitely worth the trip. Room is clean, breakfast gives a variety of Korean & western options, coffee machine available 24 hours/day. Don't miss the local market (Jungang), with night food stalls from 6-11 pm. $9 buys you a plastic tray with 4 options from different stalls, amazing variety of Korean delicacies. Small rooms, no facilities, doesn't matter because it's a comfortable room to sleep and you'll be out on this UNESCO museum of a city all day anyway. We've been twice and checked out other comparable hotels, nothing came close. For the average tourist, two nights covers this city well, one night is not enough.

Expect confusion in the room on light switches, lighting options, remote controls, a/c and heating settings. All the hotels near the top tourist sites are crammed into a run-down local neighborhood (added to our ambience) but the area, like all of Korea, is extremely safe night and day.

Super nice breakfast, tons of options (not only local but western as well). Staff in the kitchen was helpful and available to bring up missing items. The room was very new and clean. Super comfy beds and pillows. Location is ok, right where the other big hotels are located. About 20 min walking from historical center

Staff at the reception offer CERO advice on what to do, where to go or any other interesting information for us to visit. I guess it was also a barrier of language but still, they should be train to at least try to communicate with guest.

Great hotel, only 5mins walking to the bus station which was very convenient to arrive/leave the city (note that the train station is a bit further away) but at the same time very quiet street where you can hear anything from the road There are several places to eat around the hotel. Main tourist attractions were 15mins walking from the hotel but it's a nice walk through the main street. As a plus, the room had a LG Styler to refresh/clean your clothes which is a nice touch! Bathroom very nice as well, we had a bath instead of shower but it was still nice

Breakfast was very basic but nice. The cooks were accommodating and made fried eggs for us when required. The room was small and very congested. Inspite of booking a room for 3 adults, they still gave us a small room but that didn't impact our experience at the hotel. The hotel is conveniently situated at the bus station which makes traveling very easy. Staff were nice

The size of the rooms. For the price paid I would have expected a slightly bigger room.

The hotel was amazing clean, staff was very polite and spoke good english. The room was very big and the breakfast was good too - a mixture of eastern and western cuisine. Not sure why it was only a 2 star hotel, maybe because of no gym or restaurant but everything else was at minimum 3 star standard - it was more expensive than the other hotels nearby but I think it was definitely worth it. It was 5 mins walk from the express bus terminal. Unusual large amounts of hotels/motels around the streets nearby although I felt safe walking alone at weekend nights when I was there.

Surprisingly good hotel, probably geared to business originally, but excellent also for tourists. Short walk to all the attractions in Gyeongju, and right next to the express bus station, but no discernible noise from it. Staff were very friendly although had limited English. Breakfasts were excellent with a wide range of Korean and European foods; both hot and cold.

No real view from the room window.

Great location right next to the main bus terminal and located about 20 mins from the KTX train station via taxi. Fairly easy walking distance to the main historical sites in Gyeongju. Buffet breakfast selection was limited but was delicious nonetheless. Staff spoke limited English but were still able to assist with the help of google translate.

Hotel room temperature was very warm. We couldn't manually adjust the temperature, which was very inconvenient. To counteract this we had to use the aircon to sleep comfortably at night. The only issue with this was the aircon had a bright green light that shone almost directly over our heads.

The breakfast buffet was marvellous, with a LOT of dishes to choose from and the best part of it is that some of the dishes changed daily. The location was also great, just next to the express bus terminal and close to many shops and restaurants. One of the main highlights was the styler machine in the room. We all loved it.

Nothing really (except for the fact that the KTX station is actually a bit outside of the town, which means that it is also a bit far from the hotel).

Spotless, brand new building. Everything was new and shiny. The room was large and spacious, great linen and towels. Large bathtub and stand in shower. Excellent location for historic sites and adjacent to bus station. Solid breakfast buffet with a dozen warm dishes. Quiet and well insulated room.

The staff spoke barely enough English for checking in and out, but no more than that.

The room in the Rivertain Hotel is bigger than most hotels I stayed in Korea. It is very clean and quiet. The steam closet in the room is very useful after we had BBQ! The hotel is located in an area where you can find convenience stores and restaurants right at the corner. It's about a 15 minute walk to Gyeongju historical sites. We loved their breakfast too!
