At Doobaki Hostel, guests can use personal lockers of request free luggage storage. The staff here offers ticket service and tour suggestions around the historical city of Gyeongju. Daily breakfast is available between 08:00 and 10:00.

Nice vibes, don’t hesitate to choose it. Location is perfect, near terminal station and main spots. There’s a bus stop just by 2mins walk, easy to travel. For the breakfast, it’s simple but really worth the price. Female Room is quite big including 4 beds and a toilet, which is convenient.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great location near Express Bus Terminal which means that it is also on the number 11 bus route, which goes to most of main monuments. Many similar hotels in area. It is also near the main tourist area near tumuli park which is where you will probably head for food and shopping. Rooms are good.

    We stayed in a private room which was clean and sized to the budget. There were free laundry facilities, which we were delighted to use. There was a good breakfast included. The bus station is nearby. The guesthouse / hostel was excellent and I would recommend it to anyone spending a few nights in Gyeongju on a budget.

    The hostel is really close to the tombs. It is just a few walking minutes away. You can also reach it easily via bus. Sleeping Was confortable, but in the first night it was way too hot. Showers were also fine, but only two where not enough for all the people. With the community room in the center of all rooms no real "Hostel atmosphere" was created. Small point deduction for that, as well as one of two hosts not being very friendly.

    This is the best hostel I have been in Korea by far. Incredible cool areas, the owner was a traveller and he seems to know very well what backpackers are looking for. There is even a manga library and a videogame area! Quite geek everything. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean, very good location and with a great ambiance, quite cheap and with a complet breakfast included, what more can you ask for?
