Gyeongju Poverta Hotel

“Für das Geld in diskutabel. Wir sind leider sehr enttäuscht gewesen.”

The location was pretty central, but the staff were unfriendly, didn’t speak any English, were not very helpful, ignored us, and then in the pouring rain told us check‑in wasn’t until 16:00. We booked a room for four people – two adults and two children – yet only three beds were set up, and when we asked for an extra pillow and blanket we were told we’d have to pay for the sofa bed. A blanket and pillow arrived without any covers or sheets, so we had to argue again, using a translation app. Finally, after a lot of back‑and‑forth, the hotel manager came and spoke to us in English. The room itself was completely dark, painted in dark colors, with tiny windows covered by thick grilles. The bathroom had no shower divider, so everything got wet afterward. Breakfast was okay, but they used plastic spoons and paper coffee cups.

“Une réalité différente de l'annonce”

The neighborhood isn’t great at first glance but is close enough to walk to the first tumuli. The front desk person was anything but friendly and didn’t speak a word of English. A surcharge was demanded upon arrival even though we had already paid everything through Booking: 10,000 won per night for the three nights we stayed. Additional car fees (not advertised) of 20,000 won per night for parking on the adjacent street were also charged. Breakfast was served from 7 h to 9 h and wasn’t replenished as it ran out. There was no staff, the service area was dirty, there were few choices and no tea. No elevator or assistance for carrying luggage. The room was suffocating because the underfloor heating turned on at night, spoiling food and medication left in open suitcases on the floor. The underfloor heating is controlled by front‑desk staff (who were absent at night) who suggested we use the AC if we felt too hot. Night photos, wide‑angle room shots, and the listing text give the impression of a higher‑end hotel than it actually is. There’s no lobby, the corridors have old stained carpet, and the rooms are poorly sound‑proofed.

The name sounded fresh, and because it was built recently it was clean and suitable for APEC 2025 visitors. I had to search for a heating facility for a long time. The TV remote had an air‑conditioning button but the heating didn’t work, so I was cold all night. Calling the front desk didn’t get a response. The wall‑mounted TV was good, but the domestic channel selection was difficult, so I ended up watching no news and only YouTube and Disney channels.

The central location and comfortable bed were positives, but the room was too small, the bathroom smelled like a sewer, the sink was broken, and breakfast was poor.

The central location was good, but an extra 20,000 Won was charged at check‑in, which was disappointing because the price I paid should have been final.
