Goryeo Hotel

I firstly booked this hotel due to the great pictures, large rooms, reviews, price per night and location and I was not disappointed. I was within walking distance to many shops and restaurants and was able to explore Andong and the old part of Andong. I got the KTX from Seoul stopping at the newer Andong Train station. The taxi ride from the station to the hotel, was about 20 minutes and cost me approximately 10,000 won. The staff were friendly and spoke a little bit of English. They booked taxis for me and also gave me a bus schedule for my return trip from the Hahoe Folk Village. Admittedly I did catch a taxi to the village in the morning which cost 33,400 Won, however I got the bus in the afternoon back and was dropped off very close to the hotel and this cost me 1500 Won only, using my T-money card. I would stay at this hotel again, it was very nice and great value for money.

The only thing I did not like, which is not the fault of the hotel, but the distance from the Andong Train station to the hotel, needing a taxi or a bus if you want to do the research. I originally booked the hotel, thinking it was close to the train station (walking distance) but later found out that that was the old station, that had been decommission, which I confirmed when I was there and saw the tracks removed, haha. Otherwise I could not find fault with the hotel.

First of all, the hotel staff was very helpful. The hotel staff arranged three mornings with the same taxi driver for visiting the three key historical points around Andong. The taxi driver was very nice and competent (he showed us beautfiul roads through the rice fields, avoiding the most direct roads). He was speaking only Korean and we were speaking only English or French. But that was not a major problem!!! Indeed in Hahoe village he introduced us to a French speaking Korean staff from the KFCE.

The Goryeo hotel does not provide breakfast. But that is not a major problem since the hotel is located in a district packed with small restaurants, and places like Paris-Baguette, etc.

Great and quite quiet location not too far from the bus stop we used to travel to places nearby town and to and from the train/ bus stations. Plenty of places to eat nearby within easy walking distance. Huge room and bathroom. Loved the couch to sit and relax on.

We did find the bed a little too hard and usually we don’t mind a harder bed. It was also a bit difficult to cool down the room ( this was difficult in many of our Korean hotels) but finally managed to using the air conditioner to override the heater.

The hotel is in a great location close to the center and market. It has free parking that was extremely convenient. The person who received us in the reception had a very good level of English but the one who stayed there at night didn't. The bed mattress was hard - we loved it but I am aware not everyone may like it. The hotel gives a good value for the money - is clean and have big rooms but don't expect luxury

Besides the fact they provided us only one towel (in order to having the night person in the reception to understand I brought the towel to the lobby) they were old and thin.

Good location near bus stop, restaurants and park. Nice big size room with firm bed & small couch. Very good Wifi. Good size bathroom. Many food & drink choices around.

Manager didn’t provide bus directions from the train / bus station when asked via email. Though it’s rather easy. I ended up getting the info from the tourist center. No need for taxi. Take bus 210 or 212 or 410. Staff is not helpful with suggestions about places to see or eat, little English spoken.

Great hotel in the city centre. Free parking on site. Large room. Provided extra bedding and towels. Water bottles also provided daily. Excellent front desk and staff. So helpful and kind. They made our stay very easy. Fabulous location - short still to old market.

Bed was hard but we have found that in a lot of hotels in Korea so definitely not a deal breaker for us. The hotel was great value and excellent for a short stopover to see the folk village, bridge and old markets.

The location is great for central Andong. Lots of shops and restaurants around. There are 2 convenience stores close by. You can take a bus easily to hahoe hanok village. It's also not too far from the train station. The rooms are spacious and generally clean. (Deluxe twin room) I like the sofa and little table. Huge TV. The staff were pleasant and check in was really simple.

The beds are a little hard and there are no plugs near the beds.

The location is central, close to bars and restaurants and close to the bus stop for Andong hahoe folk village. The room and bathroom were spacious. I thought it was good value for the price I paid.

As other people mentioned, the beds are really hard. As I only stayed one night, that didn't really bother me. The hotel is also worn down and in need of a touch-up. But it was clean and that is more important to me.

The location is excellent, right in the shopping centre; market and restaurants just 5 minutes walk. Parking on site and free. Room and bathroom were big and clean. There was a couch, refrigerator, kettle and toiletries including toothpaste were provided. check in and out was smooth and quick.Bed is a bit hard but I didn’t mind at all. Room was cleaned daily. We would stay here again if we ever return to Andong.

We like the room. It's spacious with a big bathtub and clean. It's a good price for the quality of the hotel. If I go back to Andong, I will choose to stay in this hotel again. I highly recommend it for anyone planning to stay in Andong. However, please note that since the main station has moved to another area, it's a bit far from Andong station.
