"Very comfortable hanok stay, very close to the historic sites or Gyeongju. Walkable to Hwangnidan-gil means rest breaks are just a short walk away. Breakfast were simple but nice, with staff serving you with bread, jam, tea, and coffee. Always a warm start to the day from here. And 3 cute kittens to entertain you while waiting."
"The property is beautiful both inside and outside - very esthetic. Everything worked, bed was comfortable, instructions sent prior to check-in were very helpful. All questions were answered (thank you, Sue!), and I was also allowed to store luggage on the property after check-out time, which was very convenient. Highly recommend this hanok."
