Doobaki Hostel, hotel in Gyeongju

Featuring free WiFi and complimentary breakfast, Doobaki Hotel is located just under 5 minutes’ taxi ride east from Gyeongju Station.

The bunk beds are not good, but fine. Bottom bunks have a curtain, top bunks do not. Each bunk has its own outlet and lamp. Air conditioning was great - maybe too much. Shower was fine. Fifteen minutes by foot from the bus station (If Google maps and the busses aren't in conjunction and you end up walking like I did. Get the Naver app). Five minutes from the burial mounds. Right next to the bus to Bulguksa Temple. The breakfast was ok: two choices of cereal, cheap bread for toast, a couple of jams, peanut butter, orange juice, and coffee. WiFi is available on each floor and I had no issues. Shower pressure was a bit weak, but the water was hot. You get one free beer in the adjacent bar. This allows for easy socialization.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    Great location, within walking distance of the old town, historic sights, restaurants and shops. At the same time the hostel is in a quiet location. Facilities of the hotel are good (seating area, coffee, washing machine) and rooms are slightly bigger than average. Friendly owner. Recommended!

    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.

    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?
