10/10 Excellent

The room was huge and the room was very clean. It is a good experience staying in a hanok-style accommodation. The lady host also provided us with breakfast which starts at 8.30am. The location is extremely near to Cheomseongdae Observatory and within walking distance to Gyeongju Hanok village and Hwangnidan shopping street.
