Coolstay Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This was a fantastic hotel, I found it by accident but it was brilliant. Very modern, clean, complimentary breakfast which was western style with eggs, fruit, cereal, bread, croissants, donuts, hash browns and spreads such as peanut butter and Nutella. The rooms were very modern and spacious, we had 2 x superking size beds, the TV had all the streaming services and the hair dryer was a Dyson dupe. There was also a Samsung clothes styler so you could steam your clothes which worked far better than an iron, it also freshens and kills bacteria."

"경주 불국사 바로 옆에 위치한 어 호텔은 착한 가격에 비해 전체적으로 정말 만족스러웠던 숙소였습니다. 불국사 근처라 주변에서 맛집을 가거나 쇼핑하기에 아주 좋았고, 큰길에서 살짝 안쪽에 자리 잡고 있어 밤에도 조용하고 가볍게 산책하며 돌아다니기 좋았습니다. 호텔 내에 전용 주차장도 마련되어 있어 차를 대기에도 무척 편리했습니다. 무엇보다 방 문을 열었을 때 깜짝 놀랄 만큼 방이 아주 넓고 깔끔했으며, 객실 안에 월풀 기능이 있는 하트 욕조가 있어 하루 종일 여행하느라 쌓인 피로를 싹 풀 수 있었습니다. 아침 식사는 빵과 시리얼, 구운 달걀, 커피, 오렌지 주스, 망고 주스로 구성된 컨티넨탈 블랙퍼스트라 아침을 간단하게 때우기에는 무난했지만 큰 기대를 하기는 살짝 아쉬웠습니다. 하지만 이 소소한 부분을 제외하면 전체적인 룸 컨디션과 위치, 주차 편의성까지 가격 대비 너무나 훌륭해서 전체적으로 아주 만족스러운 머무름이었습니다."
