Hôtels près de Temple Mangwolsa, Gyeongju

I had such a wonderful stay at this hanok-style hotel that I’m already dreaming of coming back. From the moment I arrived, everything felt calm, welcoming and thoughtfully prepared. The traditional architecture, the soft lights in the courtyard at night and the view over the tiled rooftops created a very special atmosphere that you just don’t get in a “normal” hotel. My room was cozy, bright and spotlessly clean. I especially loved the little wooden platform by the window with the cushions – it became my favorite spot to sit with a book, drink a coffee and look out over the rooftops and mountains. Waking up to that view in the morning and seeing the same roofs softly lit at night made my stay feel almost magical. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive. You can feel that they really care about their guests and about sharing Korean culture. The small details, like the beautiful traditional bookmark as a gift, made me feel genuinely appreciated and added a personal touch I will not forget. Overall, this stay was one of the highlights of my trip. If you are looking for a place that combines comfort, authenticity and a peaceful atmosphere in the middle of a hanok neighborhood, I can only highly recommend this hotel. I would definitely love to stay here again.

An amazing once-in-a-lifetime hanok experience!! The place was absolutely beautiful, and our host was the kindest person ever. Their service was amazing, even providing us with a bottle of wine, and free breakfast even though it originally didn’t come with our booking. We visited Gyeongju for 3 nights during the windy winter of February, so some of the pros & cons may not be applicable for other seasons: Pros: - Amazing location: right in the heart of Gyeongju’s trendy hanok district, it is a few minutes walk from Hwangnidan-Gil street, Cheonmachong etc. Despite this district being absolutely PACKED in the weekend, our hanok was tucked in a more cozy, quiet corner, above a restaurant. It was then really quiet in our hanok, and we surprisingly didn’t have any problem of smells from the restaurant downstairs coming up into our rooms. - Clean aesthetic that perfectly balances the vibes of a traditional hanok, and a modern hotel. Suitable for those travelling with older families, for example, who may not be able to sleep comfortably on hard floors. The interior designer for this hanok deserves a raise - Floor heating was done well, and we didn’t feel cold at all despite the winds at night during our winter stay - gigantic TV - host was very kind and easy to communicate with via WhatsApp! - appreciated that the toilet and shower were very clean and modern as well! Cons: - there weren’t any wardrobes, and not many hangers were provided to hang your clothes. It’s only a minor issue, since we had more coats for our winter wear. However, since most people are booking this hanok for short stays, it shouldnt be a big issue either - as we came here via car at night, the parking lot assigned to us was a ~2min walk away from the actual hanok, so it was a bit confusing to locate the parking lot and hanok in the dark at first. - at night, the winds in the winter get quite strong, and so like any wooden house - there will naturally be quite a bit of sound like the wooden door shaking, sound of wind etc. Coming from the city, we were a bit scared and thought there were intruders at first LOL. This isn’t a big problem (especially during less windy seasons), but I think it’s just worth keeping in mind, especially if you are very sensitive to sounds when sleeping. If these cons aren’t applicable or big issues for you, then yes I would more than recommend this hanok stay!!! It’s a rare experience, and hence worth the money imho!

Les chambres hanok (maisons traditionnelles coréennes) sont uniques, petites mais raffinées et d'une propreté impeccable. Une cuisine commune est également à disposition. Nous avions réservé une chambre double, mais elle ne disposait que d'un seul matelas double, contrairement à nos attentes : nous pensions avoir deux jeux de couvertures séparés, ce qui fut un peu décevant. Cependant, l'emplacement est idéal, en plein cœur de Hwangritan-ro, à deux pas des attractions touristiques, toutes accessibles à pied. Le petit-déjeuner est offert, mais il faut en informer le propriétaire du hanok à l'avance. Ce dernier est même venu nous demander le lendemain matin si nous le souhaitions, une attention très appréciable.

J'ai tout aimé. La réceptionniste était très aimable. Je suis arrivée trois heures en avance, mais elle m'a fait visiter les lieux et m'a permis de laisser mes bagages dans ma chambre pour que je n'aie pas à les porter toute la journée. Le ménage commençait tous les jours à 11 h. La cuisine au rez-de-chaussée est entièrement équipée. Les lits sont spacieux et très confortables. Du haut de mes 1,90 m, j'y étais parfaitement à l'aise.

L'hébergement était super. C'était propre et semblait neuf. Le hall d'entrée était décoré avec beaucoup de goût ; j'ai adoré. Dans la chambre, le lit était un matelas, mais il était confortable. Cependant, le chauffage au sol était un peu trop fort. La salle de bain avait des zones sèche et humide séparées, ce qui était très pratique.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment ici à l'hôtel Palace. L'hôtel lui-même est proche de toutes les attractions (accessibles à pied) et également facilement accessible en bus. Autrement que prévu, nous avons pu nous enregistrer avant 17 heures (ce que j'ai trouvé assez tard) sans rien facturer ! De plus, toutes les installations étaient super propres et la chambre elle-même était assez grande. Comme d'autres l'ont déjà mentionné, tout le monde peut utiliser la cafétéria pour préparer des ramen, du café et obtenir de l'eau GRATUITEMENT - cela a beaucoup plu. Le petit déjeuner était simple mais bon (pain grillé, confiture, beurre de cacahuète, yaourt, fruits) et je pense que si vous venez avant que les invités prennent tout pour eux, il y aura suffisamment de tout aussi pour vous. Je recommande pleinement cet endroit - la seule chose qui serait géniale serait de grandes serviettes pour la douche.

Bien situé dans le centre ville. Accueil correct

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.

Parfait et côté village ! Plus pratique !

C'était propre et agréable, mais il faisait trop froid dans la chambre quand je suis entré. C'était le seul point négatif.
