My room decor was terrific with stylish furnishings. Most hotel amenities were excellent but showering towels are tiny. The neighborhood is convenient but inelegant. Definitely rent a bicycle nearby to explore city when not on a tour.

Easy access to buses and downtown sights. No sidewalks, gambling and clubs around but hotel itself was quiet and wellmana

The first thing to remember is that Sugar Hotel is an inexpensive option for those wanting to experience the amazing history of Gyeongju.
Our room was large and clean, the bathroom well fitted out and we slept well. The staff were also welcoming and friendly, although their English was limited.
As other reviews have pointed out, the Sugar Hotel likely had a former life as a 'love hotel' and this is reflected in the decor. It also has some interesting amenities, including a functional dry-cleaning cabinet!
But this makes it interesting and quite a contrast to the Silla Dynasty tombs of Gyeongju.
The hotel is an easy walk to the bus terminal, one of the main markets and some of the historic sites, including the Hanok village.
The only downside was the breakfast. While everything was fresh and properly presented, it was also very limited and not always hot.

Good value and convenient
Posted 9 May 2024 on HotelsLocated very close to the intercity and local bus terminals and walkable to the start of the tomb area and Hancock village. The area was populated with motels, small restaurants, pc bangs and hostess bars - but hardly the red light district as others have suggested. We felt very safe and it was quiet at night. The hotel had a 1970s vibe with dark devour in the corridors but the room was brightly lit, huge and included a pc, clothes steamer and huge TV. There wasn't a plug for the jacuzzi bath and we weren't there long enough to request one so don't know if it worked. Breakfast was basic but filling - bread, fruit, yoghurt, salad, fries, sausage and scrambled egg. BHC opposite and plenty of nearby convenience stores nearby.

It is an average hotel located in an entertainment district. The rooms are a bit worn down. The staff at the reception is not very attentive. However it is OK for a couple of nights if the room rates are reasonable at the time of booking.

Pretty good
Posted 22 Apr 2024 on HotelsGood location, quite close to bus terminal and not far from lots of the must-see historical spots around Gyeongju. The hotel itself is nice, the rooms relatively spacious with decent amenities. It is family run and reasonably friendly. The complimentary breakfast was dreadful and as a result skipped out on it for most of our stay.
