In room S101, our family enjoyed the window view, indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, and generous kitchen amenities. Verdict: A comfortable, photo-worthy family stay, as long as you plan on takeout or delivery meals. ## Good to know - **Address**: 18-2 Cheomseong-ro 39beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - **Check-in / check-out**: 15:00 / 11:00 - **Parking**: Parking available at Daehwa Gas Station, 150 m from the stay - **Rooms**: 2 rooms; S101 is a duplex room - **Outdoor jacuzzi hours**: 15:00–20:00 - **Distance to Hwangridan-gil**: About a 5-minute walk - **Cooking**: Cooking is not permitted in the room; use takeout or delivery *as written by the visitor on Sep 10, 2026* ![Soso Byeolchae hanok stay near Hwangridan-gil in Gyeongju](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-01-17ojk-1200.webp) On this Gyeongju trip, we spent a night at Soso Byeolchae (소소별채), near Hwangridan-gil. It was such a pretty stay with a hanok atmosphere, so I wanted to introduce it as a place to stay on a Gyeongju trip. ## Soso Byeolchae exterior and parking ![Exterior of Soso Byeolchae hanok stay](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-02-1vq73-900.webp) ![Soso Byeolchae exterior located among houses](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-03-1ff8g-900.webp) After parking, it was easy to find because it was right there among the houses. Soso Byeolchae has two rooms, so the entrance is split between the two sides. The exterior was truly full of the elegant charm of a hanok. ## Inside the S101 duplex room ![Inside Soso Byeolchae S101 duplex room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-04-1r8mz-900.webp) We stayed in room S101, which is a duplex room. Above all, I had heard the window view was so beautiful and was curious about it; the moment we walked in, it was the first thing I saw, and I gasped. 🫢 ![Room space with a sink and kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-05-18s9s-900.webp) There were plenty of slippers, and right in front was a vanity with a sink for simple handwashing and brushing teeth. Further inside was the kitchen—doesn't it feel so atmospheric? I truly loved every single interior detail. There were four people in our family, so they prepared an extra topper for us too. Sometimes, accommodations have such thin toppers that my back hurts and I am uncomfortable even when sleeping on one, but the topper at Soso Byeolchae was so plush that the kids slept well too. Robes and a vacuum cleaner are also provided. ![Atmospheric artwork decoration in the room](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-06-wude5-900.webp) There were lovely art pieces placed throughout, and our kids found this place so fascinating and loved it. ## How to use the indoor and outdoor jacuzzis ![Indoor and outdoor jacuzzi area at Soso Byeolchae](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-07-oov5m-900.webp) Soso Byeolchae has both indoor and outdoor jacuzzis. The outdoor one was just the right size for the kids to play in, and the indoor one was roomy enough for three people. There was a separate table too, which made it even more convenient. - Available from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. - Children must always use it with a guardian. - Never remove the floor drain stopper. ![Outdoor jacuzzi area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-08-accaj-900.webp) ![Outdoor jacuzzi with floats for children](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-09-11rm3-900.webp) Floats for the children were prepared too, including leg-ring floats that are great for little ones. And first of all, the view was so beautiful that I was completely happy—you absolutely have to take a million photos. There was an ice water purifier and a refrigerator that chilled and froze well, plus so many glasses in different shapes. The kitchen itself was also so neat and clean. ![Kitchen prepared with a variety of glasses](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-10-hkez7-900.webp) ![Neatly organized room kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-11-16axp-900.webp) ![Tableware in the room kitchen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-12-5ley7-900.webp) ![Kitchen with a microwave and coffee machine](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-13-2ai5z-900.webp) ![Kitchen prepared with children's tableware and dishes](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-14-zureq-900.webp) Everything was perfectly prepared: a microwave, coffee machine, mini oven, tableware, children's tableware, dishes, and more. How could all the dishes and tableware be so pretty too? ## Welcome drinks and gifts ![Soso Byeolchae welcome drinks and gifts](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-15-1pc60-900.webp) ![Welcome set prepared according to the number of guests](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-16-1fccm-900.webp) ![Welcome set including tea and coffee](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-17-1mueb-900.webp) They prepared various teas, coffee, welcome drinks, bread, and Gyeongju cherry wine according to the number of guests. ![Salt bread and Gyeongju cherry wine gift](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-18-1t0em-900.webp) They gave us salt bread and Gyeongju cherry wine as gifts. But seriously, the bread was soooo delicious. Even after eating it, I wanted to buy more. The cherry wine, which you can only find in Gyeongju, was excellent too. ## Separate bathroom and amenities At Soso Byeolchae, the toilet and shower room were separate. That made it so convenient to use; normally, the floor is wet after every shower and that can be uncomfortable, but it was not like that here, so it was comfortable for both my child and me. ![Separate bathroom and amenities area](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-19-1n1ap-900.webp) There were plenty of towels and amenities—foam cleanser, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and everything else in such generous supply that we did not even use the things we brought. Most of all, I was surprised that the hair dryer was a Dyson. A Dyson at a pension stay! That is probably why doing my hair was so nice too. ## Upstairs bedroom and thoughtful touches for children Upstairs, there is a spacious king-size bed. The bedding had no smell and was really clean, and there was a separate air conditioner installed too. Safety is what I value most when I am with the kids, and one detail that showed the owner's thoughtfulness was the head-bump protectors installed like this. So no one bumped their head! ![Bedroom head-bump safety protector](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-20-own63-900.webp) There is also a drying rack, so if you need it, take it out from the storage space beneath the towels! ![Drying rack stored in the storage space](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-21-yqmfe-900.webp) There was a StandbyMe screen, so we played atmospheric music and the kids watched it sometimes too. The amazing part was that Netflix was available, so I watched it after getting the kids to sleep. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ![Room relaxation area with a StandbyMe screen](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-22-otbl2-900.webp) We had coffee with the generously supplied coffee capsules, and as someone who only drinks iced drinks, I was beyond satisfied with the ice water purifier. ![Coffee capsules and ice water purifier](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-23-pa2ig-900.webp) ![Atmosphere of the stay lit up after sunset](https://img.superchart.com/images/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae-24-p62hu-900.webp) It was also so atmospheric and beautiful after the sun went down. The lighting was cozy yet bright, which made it even better! ## Window photo spot and overall stay review Honestly, every space was so pretty in photos that you could call the entire stay a photo spot, but the window area is an absolute must. Our kids woke up in the morning saying they wanted to look outside, and even after getting ready, they watched together for quite a while. When I took their photos, they were so beautiful even without a filter. For anyone traveling to Gyeongju, I really want to recommend Soso Byeolchae. It is about a 5-minute walk from Hwangridan-gil, so it was very convenient to leave the car parked, explore Hwangridan-gil, and come back to the stay. The property itself was clean and well maintained, and with indoor and outdoor jacuzzis, it was great for staying with children. The kids had a fun time playing in the jacuzzis while we relaxed at the stay and recovered from the fatigue of our Gyeongju trip. > Please note, though, that you cannot cook separately at the stay, so you will need to use takeout or delivery. If you are looking for a Gyeongju hanok stay close to Hwangridan-gil where you can stay comfortably with children, I would recommend Soso Byeolchae, which has both atmosphere and convenience. 👍🏻 ## Where it is - Soso Byeolchae (소소별채) - 18-2 Cheomseong-ro 39beon-gil, Gyeongju-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea - 경상북도 경주시 첨성로39번길 18-2 - 35.8346775, 129.2066819 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%86%8C%EC%86%8C%EB%B3%84%EC%B1%84/@35.8346775,129.2066819,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@quiet-stay-journal/gyeongju-hanok-jacuzzi-sosobyeolchae/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
