Hilton Gyeongju

1 Night Stay (Diamond Member) Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hilton Gyeongju! The hotel has been beautifully renovated — it looks completely refreshed and elegant compared to a few years ago. As a Diamond member, I received complimentary breakfast, access to the Executive Lounge and fitness center, and even a lovely welcome gift (chocolates 🍫). I was also upgraded to a suite room, which was in perfect condition — clean, modern, and very comfortable. The Executive Lounge cocktail time was impressive, with enough variety to enjoy it as a full dinner. The breakfast buffet offered a wide selection of dishes, all delicious — even the local Gyeongju specialty “Hwangnam bread”! The coffee was excellent, too. The hotel grounds are beautifully landscaped, perfect for a morning or evening walk, and it’s a great place for families to relax. Few small downsides: there was no tissue box in the room, and the toilet paper holder placement could be improved. And this location may not be the best for those who want to be near the main tourist area. Still, I would 100% return — a truly relaxing and enjoyable staycation experience!

Was great! Room had good view, and service was excellent! However location is a distance away from the royal tombs (where there's also a long street of nice cafes and restaurants)

You can eat Trump cheeseburger set at the lobby lounge of Hilton GeongJu. President Trump stayed at Hilton GeongJu during APEC in Korea. Now it is November and Autumn season. Leaves of trees are changing their colors to red and yellow, It's making so amazing view. Visit here and you never regret it.

We stayed at the Hilton Hotel and were honestly very disappointed. The place is completely outdated and absolutely not worth the price. We paid around €300 per night for a room with a lake view (and prices can go even higher), but the experience was far from 5-star quality. The hotel itself is huge, ugly, and has no charm or coziness at all. The soundproofing is terrible — you can hear every single noise from the rooms around you. Our balcony had mold on the walls, showing how poorly maintained the property is. The shower flooded every time we used it, leaving water all over the bathroom floor, and instead of fixing it properly, they just provided an old plastic mat, which was very unpleasant. On top of that, the bathroom products (shampoo, conditioner, etc.) were very low quality, definitely not what you expect from a supposed luxury hotel. Overall, the entire place felt run-down, badly maintained, and overpriced. This is certainly not a 5-star experience, and we would not recommend it.

Overall mid quality Hilton franchise. 3.5 stars. The most lacking is friendliness and warmth from the staff. Very little eye contact, Lack of smiles and greetings. Breakfast team feels mid quality, slightly disorganized and lacking "order". Some appear to look busy but disorganized. Coffee protocol is poor. Team feels stiff and stressed out due to lack of training. Big difference from top tier Hilton locations. More eye contact, smiles, and respectful acknowledgements to guests would go a long way. The staff is not likable due to cold personality to no personality, esp with the senior staff members. As a gold and diamond member, I felt nothing special. The staff did their jobs, but felt uneasy.

I had a great sleep in this hotel. We were here with the family, and they are situated next to a lake, and the lake boulevard is very good for taking long romantic strolls. They have a huge kids play club house and manicured gardens. Large, expansive breakfast buffet and 7 on-site restaurants. Very close to the KPop Museum. Around 30 minutes to Seokguram and Bulguksa Temple. Very conveniently located.|The hotel crew is warm, pleasant and accomodative. |The best experience is taking a walk alongside the lake, with great views and greenery.

Respectfully, this is probably the stingiest 5 star hotel i’ve ever stayed at. Everything has an extra charge. You want good wifi? An extra charge. You want to use the pool? An extra charge (and you can’t even use it the whole day because there are different sessions you have to pay for). I asked for 6 bottles of water because we’re staying in a family suite fit for 4 people and they said “that’s too much”, i didn’t know there’s a cut off for water, and even if there was, why would they ask me “how many” if they’re going to refuse to give more than a certain amount? Overall, just poor quality of service, the lobby was also quite deserted when we arrived, it made us wonder if we were in the right place. Not sure what gave it its 5 star but personally, i would rate it a 3 star at best, though our overall experience is no more than a 1. P.S. The room is dusty and the bathroom has a pungent fishy smell after you flush the toilet.
