Sangju, North Gyeongsang hotel rooms at the Independent

"If you want some peace and quiet in a forest, this should fit your bill. Room itself is fine and the bathroom is functional. But aside from the restaurant on the first floor there isn’t much of anything else nearby."

"Clean and safe"

"Stayed for only 1 night while visiting Andong. The hotel is great but I found its location less than ideal. it is not really close to the train/bus station (about 20 minutes drive), nor are there any buses nearby so you have to use a car/taxi. also it is not close to the main tourist sights, again - requiring a taxi. other than that, the hotel itself is great and the staff is super helpful."

"The hotel staff are very kind and nice, friendly. Recommend to visit like retro culture looks like!!!"

"Great small hotel ‘traditional’, slightly rough around the edges, but good bed and very clean sheets etc. Friendly Manager/Owner and allowed us to store bikes in room. Ideally situated for hot spring across the street. "

"Very comfortable bed, clean room and great service. Close to lots of shops and bus services "

"They need someone who can write an email in English without any hesitations. There were difficulties in communication between this hotel staff and Expedia. Expedia needs Korean employees who can be fluent in both Korean and English."

"Exceptional in all aspects, we really enjoyed our stay...will be back!"

"This hotel has, without a doubt, the best service I experienced during a three week trip in Korea, sometimes staying at four and five star hotels. The accommodations were fantastic, the breakfast was good, the dining options were really good, the chef is excellent. But the main thing is the service. This staff is fantastic. They even showed me how to use the washing machine that was all Korean language. They went out of their way. I only wish that this were on my regular route of travel so that I could stay there again and again and again."
