2-Star Hotels in Chungcheongbuk-do, South Korea

Regarding the facilities... I felt the shower pressure was weak, and the refrigerator had a unique design... I wish the furniture doors opened a bit more smoothly. I recommend mentioning ”non-smoking room” again when making a reservation. I wish the windows would open wide. The cafe on the first floor seems to open a bit late. It is a shame there is no convenience store. There is a separate way to watch TV. The scenery is nice and the surroundings are wonderful. The staff are very friendly. The parking lot is pleasant and the air is fresh. The atmosphere of the restaurant on the first floor looks nice. It is fairly clean. There are many places to explore nearby.

Elderly woman who manned the front desk ruined the hotel experience for me. Although i had booked online, she said that she was not told of my reservation and said i had to contact the owner on my own. When i said that I was unable to make calls from my phone, she refused to lend me her phone and also did not want to help me locate the korea tourism agency for assistance. Was unwilling to help call a taxi either. Eventually, she relented and when contacted, the owner confirmed my reservation. When i returned at 4pm, there was again a checkin delay and she had to call the owner to ask which room I should be given. It was a harrowing and haphazard experience. When the lady boss finally arrived back at night, the lady boss was nice and pleasant, but the experience had already been ruined.

Loved the private car parking included. Loved the pleasant, responsive host/owner. Stayed 2 nights and staff topped up our supplies, towels and emptied our bin. Our room was spacious. The rooms seem separated by thin walls only and we could hear the next door neighbours late at night. Enjoyed the free coffee near the reception desk. From the photos of the room on the website, however, we expected to be able to cook in our room.....stove top shown in the photos. But the hotplates were not plugged in, nor were there any cooking utensils, pots or pans, cutlery, plates etc. This was disappointing and the hotplates should not be shown in the photos of the room as it isisleading. Overall, we enjoyed our stay in this Hotel which has a great location on the waterfront.

The room we stayed in was very spacious. The entrance to the bathroom was covered by a curtain, and the inside was all frosted glass. The glass doors to the toilet and shower were shared, which might be scary for people who are very concerned about privacy. We recommend using the overhead shower head in the shower room, otherwise water will accumulate outside after you finish showering!

The location was close to the business trip location, and the accommodation was clean. The breakfast was delicious, and it was even more delicious because it was free. I'll visit again next time~

Cheapest option, in a seedy rundown area, not allowed to check in until 4:00pm which is very unusual compared to other hotels. However if you get past the weird old exterior and interior the room is actually ok, it’s been refurbished, there’s a soap, the shower gets hot, there’s refrigerator, tv and even a computer. The bed is good, pillows aren’t great but I had a travel pillow with me. I’d recommend it if you wanted the cheapest option that’s ok to stay in.

Places to stop to go to Cheongju Airport On the first floor, ramen machines, ramen vending machines, etc. The room was not able to go to Cheongju Airport early in the morning, if not here, until the TV with a big view of YouTube

The room is huge and the bed was very comfortable. There is also comfy seating in the room. The bathroom was very clean and good quality. The staff were very helpful and friendly and it’s near to the bike path, I was able to store my bike safely inside. It’s a novel looking building outside but very smart inside. Highly recommend, excellent value for money

I stopped by while looking for a good value for money hotel, but the bedding was so clean. The location is not very good, but it wasn't a big problem because it was moving by car anyway.

Great hotel with breakfast Pros: - location, in the center of Suanbo - European breakfast (eggs, toasts with jam, cornflakes with milk) - really non-smoking room! - the discount price for the nearby onsen - helpful staff Contras: - the only one - no hot water in the bathroom
