Pohang, North Gyeongsang hotel rooms at the Independent

"Enjoyed the hotel retreat from the city. It’s a nice resort hotel and upscale from the local hotels in town. We appreciated the quiet, clean retreat. The gym was excellent except for the broken bike. The pool was very relaxing but for a fee/ charge. The food selection is a good and while not the best, good given the convenience of not Traveling out. We had the breakfast buffet and it was expansive. "

"None"

"One of the MOST comfortable bed I have slept on! The staffs were very friendly, calm spirit. Homemade breakfast was good too! Do recommend this place, thank you! "

"It's great property. Amazing room and facilities. Keep in mind this on bit pricey end."

"Clean and well updated hotel. "

"Overall, we had a great experience during our stay. We arrived around 11am, planning to just drop off our luggage before heading out, but the owner's son kindly let us check in early and even lent me an umbrella. The building had a pleasant peach scent throughout and was clean. Our twin room was spacious and well-kept, equipped with a hairdryer, TV, mini fridge, and a box of basic care items including face cleanser, skincare products, hydrating mask, a razor, and aftershave. The bathroom was roomy enough to keep the sink and toilet areas dry, which was great! The breakfast area was cozy and welcoming. The owner personally prepared eggs and ham for us and took the time to chat about the city, which made the experience feel even more personal. After checkout, the hotel also stored our luggage for us since our departure to Seoul was later that evening. There’s a convenience store nearby and a laundromat right across the street, which added to the overall convenience. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return."

"Kolon Hotel was remodeled in 2023, so the beds and facilities (air conditioning, bathroom, amenities, etc.) were excellent. However, perhaps because it was only a renovation, the window frames are still a bit outdated. There weren’t any major downsides, but it wasn’t perfect either. It offers great value for money, and the breakfast in particular was outstanding and delicious. What I liked the most was the Time After Time exhibition. If you’re Korean, I highly recommend getting tickets. The program was great, the facilities were well maintained, and there was a lot to see. Both the kids and the whole family were very satisfied."

"Clean on a quiet street. Thought it was weird that there are dozens of hotels and motels nearby but the streets are pretty empty. But it is a very nice stay.. nice hotel and clean."

"Good "
