Hoeryong-ri, Suncheon 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."

"Exceptional value for money. Staff very helpful and within easy walking distance of lots of restaurants and the national garden. Large room with lovely view over the bay. Most comfortable hotel bed we have had on our South Korea trip."

"Not"

"The female staff member who handled the phone call during check-in was very rude and unprofessional."

"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! "

"Nice big room, great views of nearby farms and close to Suncheon gardens. "

"Very comfortable stay - close to transport - staff were very helpful - would definitely recommend "

"What a charming hotel in a great location! The free breakfast was modest, but adequate, the rooms were clean, and the style throughout was minimalist and modern. Loved the roof deck too. Absolutely would recommend to anyone staying in the Suncheon area. "
