Hotels near Anapji Pond, Gyeongju

Excellent stay. Hanok was bright, clean and spacious. Location was just off the Hwangnidan-gil main street where the shops, cafes and restaurants are. It’s also just behind lovely park which is one of the key sights. Owner was very friendly and made sure we had the instructions for smooth check in, always ready to answer any questions and also provided lovely breakfast bag for us. Will highly commend.

Beautiful hanok and a simple 3-mins walk from main road where the taxi will drop you off to the actual hotel. Host was very helpful, allowed us to check in earlier at 1pm and helped us to check timing and called a restaurant to book for our dinner. Also, free breakfast was provided although timing is fixed at 8.30am. Overall, a very pleasant stay and definitely recommended for anyone who wants an authentic experience!

We had the most incredible experience staying at this beautiful hanok in Gyeongju!! It exceeded every expectation and then some. From the moment we arrived, everything felt warm, welcoming, and truly special. First of all, the location is unbeatable! It’s perfectly situated right by the market street, making it so easy to explore local food and culture, while also being within walking distance (or a short ride) to all the main attractions. Even better, it’s incredibly convenient for transport, just a short distance from both the express bus terminal (from Seoul) and the intercity bus terminal (onward to Busan), which made our travel stress-free. The hanok itself was simply stunning! Our room was surprisingly spacious, with gorgeous traditional design details and beautiful views from the windows that really made the stay feel serene and authentic. It struck the perfect balance between traditional charm and comfort. Speaking of comfort, the bed was fantastic, which was especially important to us since I’m 6 months pregnant. We were a bit nervous about sleeping arrangements beforehand, but it turned out to be incredibly comfortable, and we slept so well every night. The host was also incredibly thoughtful and gave extra yo (bedding) and an additional pillow, which was so sweet. What truly made this stay unforgettable, though, was the host’s kindness!! She was so warm and attentive throughout our visit. She kindly allowed us to check in early, which we really appreciated after travel, and each morning she brought us a delicious homemade breakfast, such a lovely and personal touch that made us feel completely taken care of. Everything about this stay felt genuine, peaceful, and full of heart. We left feeling rested, happy, and so grateful we chose this place. We genuinely couldn’t recommend it more highly. If you’re visiting Gyeongju, this is the place to stay!

Super cute hostel right next to the bus express terminal! It is nicely decorated and very clean and they even have a room to do your make up. The included breakfast is also wonderful! It‘s toast and eggs you can fry yourself :) Just one thing to be aware of, the owner is cleaning the rooms at 11 am and you can‘t stay during cleaning. So it‘s no place for sleeping in, I was super tired one day :,)

Super clean and spacious new villa in Hanok style. It's a bit out of town, but main attractions easily accessible with a car. Check-in was a bit difficult as we had no Korean number and communication was only possible in Korean. In the end a friendly worker helped us by calling the owner. Thanks again for his help.

The room far exceeded my expectations in every respect! I loved the decor inspired by traditional Korean aesthetics. However, there was a slight issue with flooding, as water sipped through the cracks from the shower onto the wooden floor of the bathroom area even with the shower door shut. Although this did not cause much discomfort, I am concerned about the long-term effect this may have on the beautiful wooden floors! The light switch for the cupboard was genuinely hard to find; I had to call the front desk after 11 p.m. to figure out how to turn it off so I could go to sleep. Since I was on a conference trip, I spent most of my time in the room preparing my presentation, and the tables and chairs were clearly not designed with business travelers in mind. Finally, I found the pillows surprisingly flimsy and regretted not bringing my own. For casual travelers looking only to relax, however, this is a truly outstanding hotel. These are minor blemishes on an otherwise great experience, and I'm leaving these comments only in case the staff is interested in making an excellent stay even more exceptional.

The hotel was overall okay for a short stay. The room was reasonably clean and had the basic amenities needed. The staff was polite and the check-in and check-out process was straightforward. While nothing stood out in particular, everything worked as expected. It is a suitable option if you are looking for a simple and practical place to stay.

The hotel is located outside the city; the nearest bus stops are 1.7 km away. A car is essential if you're traveling with children. Otherwise, the hotel itself is very clean, the rooms are spacious, and it has a spa and pool – ideal for family holidays. The location is also very quiet, with plenty of countryside. The owner is incredibly kind and friendly.

Lovely hanok in a great location. Had under floor heating which was really nice. The rooms are kitted out with a tv, mirror, kettle, tea and mini fridge. Staff were really nice and helpful. The hanok also has free hanbok rentals if you want to take pictures but the selection is quite small and some of the hanboks are ripped/old. The walls are slightly thin so can hear your neighbours but luckily I was with family so I just told them to be quiet 😂. The hanok is really beautiful and right next to a bustling street and ample restaurants. Would definitely come back again and stay for longer.

Excellent Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I truly appreciated the warm hospitality. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed, with all the amenities one could ask for. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the housekeeping team did a fantastic job keeping everything clean and fresh throughout my stay. The view from my room was breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel’s facilities. The pool area was well-maintained and perfect for relaxation, while the fitness center had everything needed for a good workout. The on-site restaurant served delicious food with a great variety of options, and the breakfast buffet was simply outstanding – fresh, diverse, and of high quality. The location of the hotel was also a huge plus. It was conveniently situated near major attractions, shops, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. Despite being in a central location, the hotel itself was quiet and peaceful, providing a perfect balance between accessibility and relaxation. What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure guests had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay truly memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. I will definitely be returning on my next visit! Thank you to the entire team for making my trip so special.
