Maran, Gongju hotel rooms at the Independent

"I really enjoyed my five night stay. The room was spacious, the staff were lovely, the buffet breakfast was really great value, and it was close to the historical places I wanted to visit. It's not five star luxury, but it's excellent value for money. And I felt completely safe as a solo female traveller."

"Room was spotless and they offered free ramen and snacks in the snack room. "

"The staff was very kind, let me store my luggage there and even moved my luggage to my room for me! The bed was very comfortable, and I appreciated the water bottles and kettle for tea."

"Pleased with our stay. Easy checking, clean room, good (included) breakfast featuring “self-service” sandwiches. Nice bathtub. The place seems very popular with local families (a good sign). Would come again "

"Very unfriendly and rude"
