Hostels in Gyeongsangbuk-do, South Korea

I was traveling alone, but I had booked for two adults. When I tried to cancel and re-pay, I realized that since the payment was made on the same day, I wouldn't get a refund. ㅠㅠ So I just withdrew the cancellation and stayed without much expectation. However, from the moment I went up the stairs, I saw a sign on the elevator that read ”Korea Tourism Quality Certified Accommodation,” which gave me some confidence. Haha. Once inside, I found it was a business room, so the space was exactly the size of a studio apartment. But I really liked that the floor was linoleum rather than hotel-style carpet. I requested a quiet, non-smoking room away from the elevator, so the view was of the building's interior. However, as a traveler who only needs a good night's sleep at a hotel, I actually preferred the cozy atmosphere and lack of noise. I think the booking stated breakfast was separate, but it was actually free (fried eggs, bread, fried rice, and sausage provided). They also gave a 30% discount at the cafe on the first floor, which was fantastic for me as a coffee lover. I was very satisfied because, despite being an affordable hotel, it had almost all the amenities provided. Some hotels smell of bleach when you enter, but I liked that this place was clean and didn't smell like bleach. It was a place that satisfied exactly what I needed, without any frills. Above all, I am very picky about where I sleep, but the bedding was so cozy that I woke up after a good seven hours of sleep. I will definitely stay at this hotel again if I am near Andong. I am leaving this review for my own memory so I don't forget about this hotel. Haha.

Excellent Stay – Highly Recommended! I recently had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive, making me feel right at home. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, and I truly appreciated the warm hospitality. The room was spotless, spacious, and beautifully designed, with all the amenities one could ask for. The bed was extremely comfortable, ensuring a great night’s sleep, and the housekeeping team did a fantastic job keeping everything clean and fresh throughout my stay. The view from my room was breathtaking, adding to the overall experience. One of the highlights of my stay was the hotel’s facilities. The pool area was well-maintained and perfect for relaxation, while the fitness center had everything needed for a good workout. The on-site restaurant served delicious food with a great variety of options, and the breakfast buffet was simply outstanding – fresh, diverse, and of high quality. The location of the hotel was also a huge plus. It was conveniently situated near major attractions, shops, and public transportation, making it easy to explore the city. Despite being in a central location, the hotel itself was quiet and peaceful, providing a perfect balance between accessibility and relaxation. What truly sets this hotel apart is the exceptional service. Every staff member went above and beyond to ensure guests had a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail made my stay truly memorable. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxurious, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. I will definitely be returning on my next visit! Thank you to the entire team for making my trip so special.

It was nice that I could see the ocean view to my heart's content because it was located right in front of Yeongildae Beach. There was an outdoor terrace in the room, and it even had a bathtub, so it was really nice to take a half-body bath while looking at the ocean. The only regret is that I could clearly see the room next door. ㅜㅜ Fortunately, there were empty rooms on both sides on the day we used it. It's hard to say here, but because of the outdoor terrace bathtub, my boyfriend and I made exciting memories that will last a lifetime. ^^ The bedding was also very clean and comfortable, and it was ace. The next day, I checked out at 12 o'clock because of a hangover, but since it was a weekday, I was able to use it without any additional charges. I definitely want to use this place again next time. ㅎㅎ

Large spacious room, with comfortable bed, good Internet. Location was perfect to access attractions, bus stops, Restaurants and shops. Front counter staff were very friendly and helpful, giving baggage storage prior to check in. Cleaning staff did a great job and always smiling. Very clean refreshing hotel

I stayed for two nights for a trip to Pohang and Gyeongju. The owner noticed I looked like I had a lot of luggage and kindly upgraded me to a larger room. The bed sheets were changed daily, the bathroom was clean, and the soundproofing was excellent, so I had a quiet and restful stay. One downside was that breakfast is not available on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays, which was a bit disappointing. The breakfast area looked nice as well.

The hotel is very well located, right next to the bus terminal. The room was clean and comfortable. Water is available free of charge. The receptionist was asleep behind the counter every time we came in or out of the hotel, at any time of day. So don't count on reception for information about the city. However, there are several information points in town that will answer all your questions. There were quite a few mosquitoes in the room, and the shower was small with lukewarm water, which was a shame.

The decor is beautiful, but the facilities are inconvenient to use in many ways. Perhaps the owner hasn't actually used them, as many things felt clunky during our stay. There are a lot of European and American travelers here, and everyone is very friendly. I even met new friends during meals, which was a lot of fun! 💕

Relatively clean and tidy. It wasn't quiet, but not to the point of disrupting the stay. The numerous great restaurants nearby were really good.

An absolutely outstanding stay in every respect! The property stands out for its exceptional cleanliness, attention to detail, and genuine care for its guests. The owner was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming, always making sure that everything was perfect. I particularly appreciated the room being tidied, the bathroom amenities being replenished, fresh water being provided in the fridge, and the clean towels and linens. Every detail reflected professionalism, respect for guests, and genuine hospitality. It is rare to find a place where everything is so well taken care of and where you truly feel welcome. This is exactly the standard of service every accommodation should strive to provide. Congratulations to the owner for the excellent management and outstanding attention to guests. Highly recommended! A perfect stay, and I would definitely come back.

I was staying briefly at Andong Hospital for a family visit, so I chose a place that was affordable and had good dining options nearby. It turned out to be a guesthouse, and although I didn't have high expectations, it had a private bathroom inside. The soundproofing wasn't great, but it didn't affect my stay, and the air conditioning worked well. It was just the right place—nothing too much, not too little. I stopped by Mammoth Bakery, ate Jjimdak nearby, and the Tteokbokki Street was right in front. There was also a Mega Coffee and No Brand Burger inside the market, which was great.
