At Doobaki Hostel, guests can use personal lockers of request free luggage storage. The staff here offers ticket service and tour suggestions around the historical city of Gyeongju. Daily breakfast is available between 08:00 and 10:00.

Despite extremely low price, the accomodation had everything I needed for 1-night stay. I especially value the breakfast - in addition to the usual bread, jam, orange juice and coffee, you can also have cereals (cornflakes and the chocolate balls) with milk. Otherwise it was clean, silent.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    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.

    The hostel is close to a lot of sightseeing spots and bus stations to reach sightseeing spots that are a little bit further away. The price was really cheap and there is coffee, tea and toast with strawberry jam in the morning as breakfast. The shutters of the window made it really dark in the room, for good sleep. There was curtain in the bathroom, so the toilet wouldn't get wet while showering.

    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?
