Popular points of interest near the guest house include Anapji Pond, Cheomseongdae and Three-story Stone Pagoda of Goseonsa Temple site. The nearest airport is Pohang Airport, 33 km from Yettle Hanok Stay.

The house itself had everything you need for a pleasant stay, even if the hanok is very traditional. The owners preserved the beauty of the house well. It is located further from the hustle and bustle of the touristy area, hence you get a good night's rest. The owners were incredibly accomodating, explained what we should see in Gyeongju, recommended a great local place for dinner and even arranged a taxi to come and take us to the train station in the morning. A wonderful experience!

A spotlessly clean Pension in a lovely location with a dedicated, fantastic host. A very quiet location for those looking to unwind or experience a slower side to Korea, or a break after time in the bigger cities. Our room was large, and very well equipped, including small kitchenette, fridge, large TV, well equipped wet room, dinning table etc. It was spotlessly clean. The rest of the building we experienced (outdoor areas, garden etc) were also maintained to a very high standard. Outside at the property is a large decked area with seating overlooking a lovely wooded valley. There is a large parking area for those arriving by car. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend for travellers looking for something on the slower side for a few days. A couple of notes for potential guests: the property is in a more rural location, and so ideally needs a car or taxi for access. We used a taxi from Gyeongju which took 15/20mins and was reasonably priced. The Pension does not serve evening meals and so guests should either bring supplies or be prepared to travel to a local restaurant. These are not complaints! Just notes. The advert describes the accommodation well. We saw the pool, but travelling out of the summer season so this was not in use at the time. I’m sure it would be an excellent additional facility in the hot Korean summers! We would highly recommend this Pension!

    The property was basic but very clean. We were welcomed by Junny - a great host. She was very helpful, especially with recommendations for the area. The guesthouse had a communal area with a kitchen and dining space.

    It's a great little hostel in the centre of Gyeongju. All the attractions are within walking distance, but the area is still quiet at night. The hostel is new and modern. All the amenities like soap, shampoo, hairdries (even hai straightner) were in the room. The breakfast is a big plus - some toasts, fresh fruit, tomatoes and eggs.

    I loved my stay here at the momojein guesthouse. The hosts including the cute doggie were extremely helpful, welcoming and made sure I was comfortable. Great location nearby shops, restaurants and local buses. Also within walking distance of the historical sites. I stayed in the Korean traditional room and the futon for the floor was extremely comfortable. Room was spacious for one person and was nuce to have the private bathroom. Cannot highly recommend enough.

    Room in a traditional hanok, the guesthouse is just next to main city attractions. It is located in a very quiet area. Very pleasant garden. The staff was very friendly and saved a parking space for us just in front of the guest house

    Very nice and accommodating host who was very helpful for all questions we had. The house and the room we stayed in is lovely and very clean. You really notice that a lot of thought and care goes into preparing the room so that guests feel comfortable. The surrounding area is very quiet and beautiful. A car is definitely suggested to reach the pension though. I would definitely come visit again when going to the Gyeongju area.

    Great location, walking distance to the Observatory and other sites, also good for restaurants and handy for transport. The breakfast was fantastic and the hostess very helpful and charming. Her English is very good. I particularly appreciated her helping me book a taxi to the station.

    What a lovely guesthouse in the centre of Gyeongju! A stonethrow away from the tombes and in the restaurant and shopping area. Yet very quiet, could not hear a thing in the rooms. Good breakfast with fresh fruits! And very nice owner who seems to be an incredible dancer looking at the pictures
