10/10 Excellent
"We stayednights to visit Bulguksa temple and Kyongju city ​Location: Excellent location, only a 10-minute walk to Bulguksa ​Facilities & Service: Fairly brand new facilities. Received a room upgrade that was much bigger than expected. Everything was excellent. ​Atmosphere: Felt more like a mix between a motel and a hotel. Have a big TV and hot tub. ​Transportation: Visited many royal tombs, which cost about $15 for a taxi ride each way."
