Changga-ri, Changnyeong hotel rooms at the Independent

"The hotel building is a bit older, but it's clear the owner has thought a lot about guests' confort. Everything is very clean especially the linens. The interior has also been updated as well. The owner is very kind. We felt more comfortable here than in a 4 or 5 star hotel! I don't want to say any more good things because the hotel may become too busy and we might not be able to find a room next time."

"The Hound Hotel was a pleasant surprised. We absolutely loved staying there. The staff was top notch - thank you ladies at the front desk!!! Incredibly helpful and attentive. Rooms were new, large and clean!!! Housekeeping friendly and gracious! 5 star experience at a great price!!!!"

"Based on the 9.4 (external) rating that it had at the time, we expected it would be much better. Although the price was fair. Room: The bed was good. Shower was moldy, pressure was weak. Room was small, which is okay. However, it was showing its age. Random sounds at night. Mosquitoes got in the room as there are big gaps under the doors. Breakfast: Didn’t expect breakfast, so wasn’t disappointed by it. However, it was pretty bad. Bread bin was empty, there was no butter anyway. Floor and tables were a mess. Service: The guys were fine and friendly, but the parking situation is a mess. They take your key and valet park your car, so be prepared for delays waiting to get in and out."

"The rooms are great for the price, great amenities. The hotel is on the 6th to 8th floors and my room was on the 6th floor. Keep in mind that the room are not soundproof and there is a karaoke room and a bar on the second and third floor. It is also right in the bar/downtown area of the city so people come and go for one night stand making it almost impossible to get a good night of sleep. "

"We were on a cycling trip and this was our first stay in a motel. The staff were helpful and explained how things worked. It had everything we needed for a one-night stay including a basic but quite adequate breakfast. There is a good restaurant 100m from the motel. No reason not to stay here if you are passing through.
