Habitación amplia, limpia, cerca del centro y del bus para ir a la estación. El sitio estaba muy bien con bastantes cosas que hacer . Nos dieron una cerveza de bienvenida, eso nos encantó. Volveremos sin duda
La chica de la recepción nos vio llegar y ni se levantó del sofa a atendernos, pensábamos que era una huésped. Ni dijo Hola, muy poco educada. Las toallas para ducharnos eran se manos, enanas, tuvimos que pedir 3 .

Located five minutes from the city center and comfortable beds without curtains unfortunately. Staff is friendly and they offer free breakfast
There was a drunk person in the common area disturbing several guest which was quiet uncomfortable and staff didn’t said anything or removed him from the hostel whilst he was clearly not staying there

Excellent, quirky hostel in the historic town of Gyeongju. The owner has created a wonderful environment for travellers and backpackers, with a seriously well-equipped common area/kitchen and a chill-out basement that is just so cool. Rooms are basic but tidy and clean, bathrooms likewise. Plus there are two cats! No complaints.

Great place for backpackers. It is good value, lovely owners and located near bus stops and the bus terminal. The decor is dated and breakfast is basic (but there's peanut butter!) however these help keep the costs low. The volunteers working at the hostel were also nice. The kitchen was well-equipped and there will never be a shortage of plates there. Spacious basement lounge area.
It's on a main road so be prepared for traffic noise.
Wifi was temperamental.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Doobaki Hostel in Gyeongju for three nights, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. The host, an amazing person with a wealth of stories, made me feel incredibly welcome from the moment I arrived.
One of the standout aspects of Doobaki Hostel is its sociable atmosphere, making it easy to connect with fellow travelers and make new friends. The common areas provided the perfect setting for engaging conversations and shared experiences, fostering a sense of camaraderie among guests.
Cleanliness is crucial for me when choosing accommodation, and Doobaki Hostel certainly didn't disappoint. The facilities were spotless, and the attention to detail in maintaining a clean environment was evident throughout.
Located in the heart of the town, the hostel's location couldn't have been better. I was within walking distance of many attractions, restaurants, and shops, which made exploring Gyeongju a breeze.
Another highlight was the delightful breakfast served at Doobaki Hostel. Starting my day with a good meal set the tone for an enjoyable day of sightseeing and adventure.
I highly recommend Doobaki Hostel to anyone visiting Gyeongju. The warm and welcoming host, sociable atmosphere, cleanliness, and excellent location all contributed to making my stay truly memorable. I can't wait to return in the future and create more cherished memories at Doobaki Hostel.
Motorcycle man! Thank you again!!!! 🇲🇦🙏

This was a great hostel, with a very helpful staff, free coffee, and free breakfast. It was also the cheapest hostel in the area. Most importantly, it felt like a real hostel and I met other cool travellers there.

First of all, they changed my bed and threw all my stuff on it . crazy But I didn't complain...
At night after a small problem in the dorm, the owner became very agressive and immediately called the police
He wanted also to call my embassy, block my passeport. Etc
When the police came he pushed too much to try to fire me.
At the end the police understood and i had a private room for free.

Excellent interior, vibe, theme and location.
Doesn’t really operate like a traveller’s guesthouse. The host isn’t flexible at all, services are of a guesthouse but the rules are like those of hotels.

The boss is so lovely! He's a traveller himself and has lots of interesting stories to tell. We have drinks together at night and it seems like he really built this place to create somewhere with this conviviality vibe where travellers can meet and exchange stories. He's also consciously keeping his prices low so that backpackers like himself can travel low budget. He's such a nice person!

Breakfast was good, the room was clean, staff are very kind and friendly. Location is great as it is walking distance from the express bus terminal and also the main historic areas and tourist attractions in the city.
The cold and hot taps in the bathroom were separate which was a little uncomfortable.

We stayed one night in the triple room and this place was great. Breakfast is toast, cereal and juice and there is a full kitchen available for guests and the hostel has cats!!!! Amazing stay and good vibes. Location is also in the middle of town and just up from the tomvs, and main street of shopping and food. Perfect.

International and welcoming atmosphere, free breakfast (just cereals and toasts but still a nice addition), big space to hang out with lots of board games and game machine, possibility to leave luggage after check-out and very friendly cats!
Another group of people was partying till 4AM one night, so it was difficult to sleep

Friendly staff, comfortable room, good breakfast, and nicely located to the must-see spots.
A bit of a walk from the bus station.

Nice location, helpful host, big breakfast, good price
If you have cat allergy, there are two cats. A bit of an old structure, not perfectly clean but doable.

Real backpacker place in Korea, with high standards and friendly staff!

the location was perfect
The beds should be oiled regularly. they’re made of wood and make a very bad creaking sound. Now, I don’t have any problem but for the other 3 travellers sleeping in the same room, it can be quite bothersome, especially if you’re in the top bunk and they’re on the bottom one. but overall VERY GOOD stay.

Good location close to the busstop, friendly staff, clean room. Friendly cats were walking around in the salon , so if you are allergic to cats, keep this in mind. Good quality for the price. 10 minutes walk to the mainstreet
