"Good amenities and fine breakfast option, nothing spectacular. The rooms are tiny, not recommended for families travelling with children. It was pretty tight for us. The amenities were available on the first floor and breakfast is available till 10am-note you need to clean up after yourselves; the table and the dishes and utensils that you use. There is a sink where you can do the dishes right by the breakfast bar."

How can I get cheap hotels in Gyeongju?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Gyeongju

  1. If you're looking to travel to Gyeongju on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $24. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $127. Staying a short amount of time in Gyeongju is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Gyeongju, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Gyeongju, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Gyeongju, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.
