Hilton Gyeongju

A wonderful hotel to stay in. Everything was perfect from the check-in to check-out. The hotel team has done everything to address all my requests. The room was large, perfectly clean with a comfortable bed. The bathroom and shower were really nice too. The breakfast buffet was really nice, with plenty of choice. I also had dinner at the Chinese restaurant of the hotel and the quality of the food and service was very good. The fitness room is very well equipped. I also enjoyed the Executive Lounge on the 9th floor. The food was tasty and the service was again excellent.

great hotel, clean and very good service, also for diamond members or whoever has access to to executive lounge, food choices are less then other hotel but the chef Han Soo Min (yes i asked his name) makes really great dishes including pretty much full dinner, appetizers, deserts and stuff, of course they have good drinks including wine, bear and liquor. Again the hotel is located in a very nice area where there are many restaurants and cafes and very close to main downtown attraction, about 15 min slow driving.

Having stayed in a lot of Hilton hotels this was a little disappointing. The Italian restaurant was closed and we thought the other dining options were quite pricey. Breakfast was included and it was good with plenty of options. The hotel is certainly out of the way if you are wanting to visit the historical areas of Gyeongju - you would need taxis everywhere. We also found it interesting that there were lots of signs / notices in the room about what not to do eg "Don't bring food in". We would look at choosing a different option if we visited again.

The hotel itself is very comfortable. While not luxurious, it's well-appointed and the rooms are a nice size and well-furnished, including with robes and slippers. Staff was very helpful, with decent English (although not as fluent as at the 5 star hotels we stayed at in Busan and Seoul). Decent four star breakfast, eastern and western. The big problem if you're sight-seeing or like good food is location. There's an amusement park and a lake very nearby, but none of the historic sights, nor an array of good restaurants. A 20-30 minute taxi ride is needed, but at least the cost is low - under $10 U.S. The hotel's restaurant has a large buffet, but a limited a la carte menu, and is IMO overpriced.

Five-Star Price but Two-Star Service During our vacation in Korea, we stayed at a five-star hotel in Gangnam, Seoul, for a week and then spent two days at this hotel in early July 2024. Unfortunately, we had a terrible experience that is hardly expected from a luxury hotel. We booked two rooms through Chase Travel and paid total of $1118 with extra fees for free breakfast ($100 for a room with two adults and $134 for a room with two adults and one child), which we assumed would include all guests, including our child. However, upon arrival, the front desk informed us that the free breakfast was only for adults and that we needed to pay extra for our child. They didn't acknowledge our explanation that we had paid more for the room to include a child. Consequently, we ended up paying approximately $36 extra for two breakfasts during our stay. This is not the level of service we anticipate from a five-star hotel. Additionally, there is no discount on the breakfast buffet for hotel guests. The fitness room was closed for monthly maintenance during our stay, so we couldn't use it. There was also an extra charge for using the swimming pool and sauna, even for hotel guests. Unlike other five-star hotels, many of the staff members appeared inexperienced and unprofessional, resembling local young part-timers rather than professional hoteliers.

It’s an old hotel and corridor smell reminds you of that. Rooms have been renovated though and mine was very spacious. Lack of electrical outlets by the bed was strange though. Dinner buffet was overpriced for the quality (85K) and 12K for local beer was adding insult to injury.

Nice place to stay in gyeong ju, the hotel was very nice, location was superb, very near to amusement park and many great restaurants nearby and in walking distance. The room was clean, breakfast was also very nice. So far i have nothing to complaints about

Hotel booked via tour operator. Supposed to be 4 star.Arrived at the hotel around 530 pm, checked in, freshened up and wanted to eat at the Chinese restaurant at the hotel. No availability since we did not have a reservation. We were given a slot later on. Too tired from our trip & the buffet restaurant was very crowded- so we decided to order room service. Very poor options. We are in Korea & had no choice but to order pizza. Very greasy. It was the harvest festival time , hence no options for food for in house guests in the restaurant.
