Andong, North Gyeongsang hotel rooms at the Independent

"Quiet, cozy, tranquil surroundings."

"Good very reasonably priced hotel in the centre of Andong. It's a bit dated but the rooms are spacious, comfortable and well equipped. Don't be put off by the dark corridors and gaudiness - it's excellent for the price and would definitely stay here again. Great location for restaurants, shops and public transport to the main rail and bus terminals. Taxis are cheap and easy to find - cost to the main railway station was 10000 won."

"We stayed in the suite, with traditional sitting room and modern bathroom. Really enjoyed the stay in the traditional Korean house. If budget allowed, highly recommend you to stay in the suite. It is as good as the pictures in the website."

"A very lovely traditional house with a long history. It’s so peaceful and quiet just sitting outside our room overlooking a river, living out of a K drama. The property is very well run by a descendent of the Ryu clan. The owner, Seunghwan is a young gentleman who speaks excellent English, hospitable and has eye for details. We stayed for 2 nights and didn’t have a car. He drove us to the village upon check in and fetch us to the bus terminal upon check out. We enjoyed the daily traditional breakfast cooked by a Ajumma. Although there is no en-suite, the toilet is very modern and each guesthouse has their own dedicated toilet. Do stay here with an open mind, immersed yourself in the josun era and enjoy the simplicity. "

"Both Kerly the receptionist and the owner were just amazing! So so nice and helpful people. The rooms were nice and clean, very comfortables. I would deeply recommend this place!!!"

"Room was comfortable. Very warm when sub freezing outside. Good location. Staff were not omnipresent but friendly and helpful when we needed them. "

"Located close to train / bus station, what first seems to be located in an industrial zone but is actually very quiet and peaceful, the staff were very friendly and a nice calm area to sit down and relax in the cafe / library area. The place was very clean and well looked after and the rooms were spacious. If I had to pick one thing it would be the cleaning lady banging her duster on the metal railings at 0700 each morning, but overall I would highly recommend this place, I had a very pleasant stay"

"Amazing place and surroundings; we loved it "
