Tongmae-ri, Hadong hotel rooms at the Independent

"The owners were incredibly kind and helpful. When I arrived, they recommended some places to see within walking distance and made sure that I had transport for my trip to the local festival the next day. The room was small but cozy, exactly what I had booked and it was one of the most comfortable rooms (of this size) that I've had in Korea so far. If I'm ever in the area again, I am definitely coming back to this hotel."

"The hotel owner was amazing. Not only did he introduce us to traditional Korean tea in their little cafe, but he and his wife fed us fresh persimmons and baked sweet potatoes in the wood burning stove. Had the best night and would stay again! "
