3-Star Review: Average Experience at K Hotel:
I recently stayed at the K Hotel with a group of four, and our experience was, overall, average.
Positives:
1. Efficient Check-in and Check-out_: The staff handled our arrival and departure quickly and smoothly.
2. Nice and Open Lobby: The lobby area is modern and welcoming, making a good first impression.
3. Comfortable Traditional Korean-Style Room: Our group of four stayed in one room, sleeping on the floor in traditional Korean style, and found it surprisingly comfortable.
Negatives:
1. Less-than-Ideal Location_: The hotel's location is not particularly convenient or scenic.
2. Outdated Building: The hotel's building is old and shows its age, which detracts from the overall experience.
3. Dirty Storage Area for sleeping pads and pillows: Unfortunately, the area where the hotel stores its pads and pillows was very dirty, which raises concerns about cleanliness.
Other Notes:
The hotel's spa is a highlight, offering an excellent experience that would warrant 5 stars on its own. However, as a hotel guest, we didn't receive a significant discount, which felt like a missed opportunity.
Overall Assessment:
While the K Hotel has some positive aspects, its average rating is due to its outdated building, less-than-ideal location, and cleanliness concerns. With some renovations and improvements, this hotel could reach its full potential.
Rating: 3/5 stars
Will we return? Maybe

This hotel looks good from the outside but it's actually kinda old.
The rooms are spacious but the design is definitely not as modern or up to date. If you don't mind that, then great because that's the only downside.
Going to places will definitely require a car.

One of the nicest places to visit in Korea in my opinion (Gyeonju)... very quiet and not a lot of tourists. This hotel had great food available, so it's completely worth booking here for the weekend (or weekdays) to fully explore this area!

Not too great. Rooms are furnished as if its 40 years old and beds are hard spring beds. Shower was big and spacious, but moldy was growing between a significant amount of tiles. The view from the rear hotel rooms is not good with a massive green roof blocking the view. The outside bathing facilities were closed due to season, and use of the hot springs werent even included in the hotel room price.
