Great location. 5-20min walking to all the major attractions. Walking and taking bus is the way to go. Good experience with a hanok stay that had a mattress instead of traditional thick blanket/bedding to getting a good sleep. Very hospitable hosts of husband and wife. They even made us breakfast the day we checked out! There were 3 other rooms with guests when we were there and everyone kept the quietness during our stay. So, not a place for folks who like to chat during the nights. We were there Sunday, a holiday weekend (Buddha’s birthday), so there were way too many locals in addition to foreign tourists. I’d highly recommend visit on a non-holiday.

The owner of the home was incredibly hospitable and what's some might perceive as abrasive was just him being really helpful and wanting his guests to experience the area as he's obviously very passionate about where he lives in the history surrounding it, which it is very rich in. My friend and I loved our experience here, and we felt really safe. The one thing to be mindful of is given is traditional Korean house, there is not a lot of sound insulation but fortunately for our stay the other guests were really respectful and mindful of their noise level. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to be in a more traditional environment and be welcomed as family and not a sterile hotel environment. The location was really beautiful too and we spent the whole day walking around, it was a beautiful evening walk along the river to get back. Also very convenient for buses.

The owner was so friendly and helpful! The bed was very comfortable. The location was great—so close to the historic center—walkable to the beautiful park, Wolji and bridge, all of these are awesome to see at night. Just walk, don’t take a taxi tour.

Incredible Host!

Our stay here was lovely. The owner was kind and incredibly helpful — he gave us a map and directions on the best ways to see all the sights we were interested in. The rooms were spotless and the beds had heating pads, which were so cozy, as we were traveling in the fall and it was getting cool. All around a great stay — highly recommend for anyone looking for a more authentic experience unlike those you get at a regular hotel.

Excellent stay in a traditional hanok home — very cool experience and you cannot beat this location. Walking distance to all the main sites and the host is extremely helpful and friendly. We were able to meet other guests and hang out in a friendly atmosphere. Early wake up for breakfast but that did not bother us. We really loved the city and stayed 2 nights.

My family and I had a WONDERFUL stay at Yettle Hanok. Jung and his wife were lovely hosts who welcomed us, showed us a map so we could get our bearings and even offered suggested activities for the day so that we would be able to experience all the sights and experiences. We rented the entire home and found it be spacious, comfortable and clean. It was such a unique experience to stay in a traditional hanok-style home. The home is walking distance to the Gyeongju National Museum and a bus stop with buses that will take you right into town. My family loved every minute of our stay and are so grateful for the hospitality and warmth of our hosts!

This was a great experience in traditional Korean housing. It was a lovely stay near the ponds and museum. The owners were very friendly and welcoming. There are a few rules and quirks to staying here and it can be noisy depending on who’s staying.

The Hanok is easily walkable to all the historical area sites to see. Host is so bubbly! He gave a good introduction to the area showing us on the map so we could get the most out of our time here. The rooms are gorgeous. Even though breakfast is not included the host prepared a light breakfast for everyone with coffee at ~8am. Perfect to start the day as nothing opens early.
