Let me first say that our visit to Chungju was a great success! If I ever find myself in Chungju again, I don't know that I would stay anywhere else. One of the challenges you will find is that not all the hotels in Chungju can be found online. There are plenty of other hotels, some were listed...most were not. So if you're traveling from far away and want reservations ahead of time, your choices are few. From what I saw, other hotels were not in much of a better location. I can't speak to the inside of the other hotels either. The Grand Hotel has it's pros and cons. I'll start with the staff. The staff was marvelous! With the language barrier, they did their best to make sure our needs were accommodated. From taxi rides to special requests and all the questions in between, nothing but smiles and solid effort to work with us. You work long enough and eventually what you're trying to convey comes across and they do their best to accommodate you. The location; not the best. It's in more of an industrial section of town...actually on the outskirts. Although it is within walking distance of the train station, but a taxi ride from the bus station. You will not find much in the way of restaurants or things to see close by. My son and I did take a taxi to the local soccer stadium for a game and walked back to the hotel...20 minutes tops. That 20 minute walk is awesome. When you leave the hotel, turn left and simply walk. Take a map or use your phone. Don't forget your wifi hotspot!

The room is reasonably spacious and clean. Common area may need some upgrade as property is a little old.
