I was worried because there weren't many reviews for this newly built hotel, but it was clean and really nice. It had an ocean view and was really pretty!! It's close to Daegae Village and the cafe street, so it was easy to get around, so if I visit Yeongdeok again, I'll come back to this hotel!
This is a review of a one-night stay during an early vacation for office workers. It's a 1980s-style accommodation that feels like it's back in time. The tile floors were sticky due to the heat and humidity, which was a bit of a hassle. The Western-style food is a bit pricey for the service and quality. I had to visit before peak vacation season, as the outdoor fountain tables weren't open, which made it feel a bit like I was on vacation. So, I searched for a good restaurant nearby and went. Thanks to this, I was able to buy some local melons. The weather can be quite unpredictable.
Lahan Hotel had a great view of the East Sea and Pohang Space Walk and was very clean and well furnished. Shower amenities (shampoo, soap and body lotion) have a stronger scent than most hotels (tabacoo scented) and may be a hit or miss for travellers. Location was also convenient, with just a short walk to Yeongildae Beach and eateries along the beach street. Many buses also have routes along the Main Street which made it easy and convenient to explore Pohang. The reception staff were also very helpful and gave us helpful advice for our itinerary and plans based on their local knowledge (:
Good service, friendly staffs, clean room. Very satisfied over all. I was traveling Gyeongju, so the hotel was a bit far from the city. However it is located near the beautiful beach. I would stay here if I travel the city again!
I arrived about 30 minutes early, but they helped me check in early. The room was more spacious than I expected, and as a newly built hotel, the interior and bedding were very clean, making for a comfortable stay. The generous supply of towels was also a plus. Some reviews were disappointing about the lake view, but the view of the mountains behind us and the quiet surrounding roads gave us the feeling of being in a quiet rural village. The bakery on the first floor offers a 50% discount after 6 p.m., and the bread was delicious and reasonably priced, making it a satisfying breakfast. The location was also convenient, with a Starbucks nearby and close proximity to Andong Hahoe Folk Village. I would definitely return if I get the chance.
Location a little off. Buses take ages to come, so we travel around by Uber Taxi. Hotel room was clean but a little dated, guess ok to stay just for a night.
My husband had some free time, so we made a reservation during the week. I referenced another review when making the reservation, which was helpful. It said floors 6-8 were undergoing renovations, and we were assigned a room on the 5th floor. We arrived early, and the staff was very helpful and helped us check in quickly. We made a dinner reservation, went to the sauna to freshen up, and then had dinner right away. We had a comfortable, clean, and refreshing day.
I booked this room based on the advertised 32m², but it frankly felt more like a refurbished motel room. While overall satisfaction was good, aligning with many other reviews, the stated room size is significantly incorrect. Please investigate and clarify the actual dimensions.
First of all, parking is convenient and the front desk staff are friendly!! There is a Starbucks and a convenience store nearby, and the view is absolutely beautiful. It is also great that breakfast is included.
We traveled with our three children. The facilities were clean and great, the beds were comfortable, and the marble ondol (heated) floors were wonderfully warm. It was also convenient to do some quick grocery shopping at the Hanaro Mart next door, which had Gyeongju local produce. We briefly used the indoor pool, but it seemed a bit unkempt, probably because it was winter, which was a bit disappointing.
Very Good

AAnonymous UserIts a pity that the upper floor rooms got occupied so we were assigned to lower floor and the room was facing n pretty close to a construction next to the hotel and so we were worrying abt the dust and noise and a bit disappointed with the ‘seaview’ outside the terrace… luckily the front desk lady offered us another room on the same floor facing the carpark instead so the sea is really just one car away and it feels so much better :] she even offer us to check the rooftop family that comes with jacuzzi but we didnt bring out swimsuits so its out of our consideration.
The room is huge and the view is superb, except 1. it d be better if theres a door/curtain for the toilet/bathroom area for privacy and also noise isolation; 2. The fridge and rubbish bin are a bit too small for a family-sized guests; 3. Lacking racks/hooks to hang clothes and towels when u shower, a bit inconvenient…
However everything else is awesome, they hv clothing disinfectant machine provided in the room, a giant size tv which is good for family, amenity kits come with most of the things u need including facial cleanser/toner/moisturiser. Theres a coffee machine and ice making machine at the lobby so u can het ur everyday coffee free. Also the public terrace on 10/f is super nice n chill with the sea view, its both nice both day n night, highly recommend!
There are tons of restaurants mostly grilled meat/seafood dishes in the neighbourhood as its right next to the famous beach where ppl comes here for the yeonglidae pavillion, which looks nice at night! Space walk is also nearby. The locals all do their morning exercise walk by strolling along the seashore bare feet! Theres a shoe rack storage and feet washing facilities provided so u can come enjoy bare-foot walking in empty hands and leave clean and dry!
Its a nice stay and i would recommend to others!
GGuest UserThe hotel was overall okay for a short stay. The room was reasonably clean and had the basic amenities needed. The staff was polite and the check-in and check-out process was straightforward. While nothing stood out in particular, everything worked as expected. It is a suitable option if you are looking for a simple and practical place to stay.
GGuest UserStayed with friends on a 3D2N trip.
Location was generally good, close by to main shopping area, easy to get on buses and/or to call for uber.
We really loved the breakfast that was included as well as free noodles being provided (cooked in a bowl). Water, coffee and teas was provided throughout the day (pantry and a separate cafe that was right beside the main entrance). There was even washer/dryer, laundry pods to purchase from them also available however we can’t comment much because we didn’t use them.
Service was a hit/miss. Was greeted enthusiastically by an older gentleman, explained everything well and was very willing to share nearby eats and things to do. However, while I tried to use delivery app (that they advertised in the room, even for international travellers), the young man was not very proactive to solve our problem (unable to input Singapore number). However overall their service I will say is still very polite.
Room is generally clean. However as my legs are more sensitive to bedding’s fabrics, I could feel “things” on my legs that was in contact with the beddings. That being said, we didn’t experience any skin reaction or bites.
To add on, they had self service luggage locker outside of their entrance where we stored our luggage after checking out. However, to note that there is limited number of locker so would advise to store earlier in case it’s fully used.
Would definitely come back here next time!
SSamyThHostel is very near to Gyeonju Express Bus terminal and Gyeonju Intercity Bus terminal by 5 minutes walk. GS25 is on the corner of alley. Enter alley for.10 meters and turn right then look on the left side you will see. The owner is very friendly, speak English and very kindly advise travelling.
MmaggieyuFirst off, the front desk staff couldn't speak English, which made communication really difficult. If they can't speak English, why are they hosting international guests? It's inconvenient for everyone. Also, all the power outlets in the room were Korean standard. When I asked the hotel for a universal adapter, I had to pay a 10,000 won deposit. Plus, the light by the room entrance is a motion sensor, so it automatically turns on if you get up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, and the toilet flushing sound is very loud. When I checked out around 7 AM, the hallway outside was completely dark. There were no coffee or tea bags provided. Other than that, it was okay; the cleanliness was pretty good.
GGuest UserThe hotel staff are v friendly and helpful. The breakfast options are superb. Hotel is also v spacious and my room view is amazing. It's on 10min walk to gyeongju world.
I will definitely come back again if I can.
GGuest UserIt was my second time staying here. The hostel is walking distance from places like Daereungwon. Gyeongju Golden Street is also nearby with lots of restaurants. The hostel provides an electric blanket. There are indoor shoes to use, as well as separate slippers for the shower inside the bathroom. There was shampoo and bodywash, but no conditioner. It was self check-in, with names written on a note with a keycard and instructions. Other guests were also polite. The bedding was clean, smelled normal.
PPinky DerpsMy review would've been a lot better if there wasn't a promised breakfast. (A box with cup noodles on the floor under the microwave, in the reception area)
Most of what made my stay uncomfortable were other guests, they made a mess of the kitchen and during the weekend I actually felt unsafe with the yelling, banging on walls and running through the hallway.
The room was clean and comfortable with a large bathroom. Towels were fluffy and bedding clean.
The coffee machine was empty but immediately refilled when I mentioned it. The cleaning staff did amazing cleaning up the mess in the kitchen every time!
Usually there was no staff at the front desk so some instructions on ”breakfast” and where to find staff (in the office next to the elevator) would've been nice, as well as where to find certain shared areas.
FFeihuangThe hotel's facilities are excellent, with a picturesque garden and uniquely designed rooms, making it perfect for a relaxing vacation and experiencing traditional Korean culture. The breakfast features authentic local dishes and is definitely worth trying, demonstrating the hotel's attention to detail.
However, there are some issues. First, the hotel's address is incorrect. The actual lobby address is 186-20 Jeonseo-ro, Pungcheon-myun, Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, near the Hahoe Village Visitor Center parking lot. The currently listed address is actually for a detached house, requiring check-in at the lobby before being taken inside. Going directly there during the off-season results in no one being able to assist. I suggest the hotel and Ctrip correct this immediately. I've included a screenshot of the address in my review. Also, the actual phone number is +82-1088603410, while the current number is for the Seoul branch. I recommend this also be corrected.
GGerhard EdeKorean room with sleeping on floor Korean mattress. Very hard for European not easy. Location very good, in walking distance sight seeing, restaurants and shops. Price/Ok
