Just go. Amazing hostel, amazing staff, amazing introduction to Korea, a country which has so much to tell us all. A family hostel, with an incredible willingness to share Korean culture. The area is rich in history, so well worth a visit.

Highly recommend to stay here.This is a traditional korean hostel with korean style hospitality. The best hostel in gyeongju.

Although the host Clint is welcoming, speaks good English and is very polite, we only stayed one night out of the 2 reserved as the accommodation made us uncomfortable: upstairs for 6 to 8 rooms each containing 4 beds. Only one toilet is available with a scrubbing brush on the floor without a pot. The sink is in the only shower upstairs. We didn't see a trash can. The room seemed patched up. No air conditioning where all the other accommodations (1/7) we did in South Korea had it.The common areas seemed unsanitary to us, as did the room with its patched-up appearance.We therefore decided to leave for another one quite close which had the same prices.For information, this accommodation is given as a hostel for young workers on Korean applications and not as a hotel or a youth hostel.Even my girlfriend who doesn't see a ball of dust at home couldn't stand it.I was attracted by the price when booking and regretted it.

It was very close to bus terminal which made it easy to travel to and fro to any place in gyeongju. Absolutely loved the interiors. It felt so warm with all those testimonials and pictures who lived previously.. it felt like home and didn't feel like just a place to live. The owner was very warm and makes you feel like he's known you for years. This is one of my best stays in Korea. As the slogan of this places goes...'if you haven't stayed at hanjin then you haven't been to gyeongju' and Its a truth.

13 years ago! Such fond memories I won’t share them. I don’t want to spoil your stay here. Our hotel just outside the Osan Base and our bulgogi restaurant across the street are gone. Next stay in the ROK we must visit our friend here.

The owner Clint is amazing, will help you out provide you a set itinerary based on your time and desires. The hostel common areas is a little dirty and needs some attention though. No breakfast but there is hot water for coffee and tea
