The Gaya Mini Hotel is an excellent hotel with immaculate rooms and a fabulous location. My complaint, though, which prevents me from giving 5 stars, is that there is service at all. My room wasn't cleaned at all for the second day of my stay, and there was nobody at the front desk to request a cleaning of the room.

Room size was ample for a budget hotel. Bathroom was modern. Close to “Golden Street” (back door leads to it). Very clean with nice amenities.

Good location, clean, and check in was simple.

The room was very basic but clean. The twin beds were comfortable. The bathroom modern but the shower scream was somewhat inadequate as water spread across the bath room. But it was cheap ish and we were happy with it.

The hotel placed very close to tourists attractions.

Check in time was really late and they didn't tell us before hand that it's an automated checkin system through a machine. They didn't even have any service to hold luggage either. Very poor system they got going. The room was smelly too with no lifts. Had to carry the luggage up to the 3rd floor!

The room is decent but I personally find it slightly inconvenient that there isn’t a closet to hang my clothes. The hotel also doesn’t have an elevator so this might be something to keep in mind if you have big luggages. I had a really heavy luggage and had to carry it to the third floor myself. They are also very strict about check in time especially if you book from Expedia or any other non-Korean website. You will need help from the front desk to get your confirmation number to get your key and the check in window is only between 5pm-9pm. Other than the slight inconvenience, the room is nice and clean and honestly a good hotel option for its price. All of the main attractions and famous restaurants in gyeongju are within walking distance so it was very convenient.
