good place to relax and great sushi

I had a suite for a day. Rooms were clean, and the view was excellent. However, I cannot recommend this place to non-Koreans as there are very limited choices for activities and restaurants. All the restaurants are seafood places. Mostly sushi places, if you enjoy sushi, this place would be a great choice. We had live fish sushi for about 40,000 won per person, and it was excellent.

Very nice place,

Had an amazing time. The room was big, bed comfortable and clean and it had everything needed for a 3 day or more stay. Hot tub was clean and perfect temp, pool area was nice. Water was just right. Restaurant on site was welcoming with very sweet staff. We will definitely return and bring our family along.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I had a truly disappointing and frustrating stay at this hotel, despite booking one of their so-called “premium” suites. • The shower was dangerously slippery with poor drainage. I almost fell during my first use, which is completely unacceptable for guest safety. • The suite was advertised as having a full, functional kitchen — yet the stove had been removed without any notice. This is outright false advertising. • Guests are told to throw out their own trash, but no plastic bags were provided, making a basic task unnecessarily difficult and unhygienic. • The breakfast was one of the worst I have ever encountered at any hotel: minimal, low-quality options and inattentive, unfriendly staff. • Furniture throughout the suite was poorly maintained — everything squeaked loudly, clearly showing a lack of upkeep and care. • To top it off, housekeeping entered my suite without knocking, violating my privacy. Later, my door code was changed without my knowledge because hotel staff mistakenly thought I had checked out after just one night — a careless and completely avoidable mistake. Overall, this stay was a huge letdown. For the premium price I paid, the experience was far below even basic expectations. I would strongly advise others to think twice before booking here.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We booked a suite at this hotel for two nights based on the information provided on Expedia, which stated that it was a 1-minute walk to Gyeongju National Park. However, upon arrival, we discovered that it was actually a 1-hour drive away. The hotel is located at the edge of the city, making it inconvenient to access many places, with travel times ranging from 45 minutes to 1 hour. The master bathroom was a complete nightmare, reeking of sewage. It was utterly repulsive! If that wasn't bad enough, there were strands of hair on the bath towels. Is it too much to ask for basic cleanliness and decency in a hotel? Our discomfort led us to check out early next morning after just one night. I approached the reception to inquire about a refund for the second night, but they refused. It's disheartening that the hotel's misinformation caused so much inconvenience, and they were unwilling to rectify the situation. I also contacted Expedia for assistance, but unfortunately, they couldn't obtain approval from the property manager. It's beyond infuriating. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this hotel. It's a pit of misinformation and filth.

불친절 하고 청소가 잘 안되어있습니다.

난방이 재대로 안되서 추웠고 컨트롤이 따로 없습니다 . 젤 큰 문제는 내가 사진을 보고 선택한 욕조가 거실 창문앞에 있고 , 화장실에 욕조가 있는걸 선택 했는데. 멀리서 와서 늦게 체크인 했다고 내가 선택한 구조로 방을 주지 않았어요. 앞에 일하는 여자분은 너무 불친절하고 설명도 안해주었습니다. 신경질적인 써비스에 돈은 더 주고 스위트 룸을 구했는데 춥고 창문도 깨져 있었고, 거실은 더럽고 침구에 과자가 떨어져 있어서 놀랏습니다. 벌레인지 알고 . 메인침대 베드는 좋았습니다. 그러나 남은 방을 주는건 너무 기분 나쁜일입니다
