Guest Reviews

• 벽 (6/5): -
• Piotr (9/5): -
• Silvia (7/5): - Der Anbieter war sehr freundlich und es schien so, als hätte er für uns seine private Unterkunft gegeben. Also alles möglich gemacht, obwohl wir einen Tag später angereist sind. Toll und herzlichen Dank dafür. Es war prima mit einem Zettel vorbereitet, da keiner da war uns zu empfangen.. Der Küchenraum war komplett dreckig am Fliesenspiegel., die Schränke. Aber es kann sein, das der gute Mann noch gar nicht fertig war mit putzen oder es vergessen hat.
• Stefaan (8/5): Simple hotel close to the rail and bus stations - Simple hotel with all required comfort. It was nice to have a basic kitchen in the room. The hotel is very close to the rail and bus station. It's a bit far from the city centre
• Kyt (9/5): Better than expected. - Close to train and bus terminals. It is a futon on the floor when time to sleep, but it was comfortable. Floor heating is cosy. Free use of washing machine, powder and drying rack provided. Windows open to outside. Owner was helpful and provided self check in instructions. Kitchenette allows cooking. Daily housekeeping. Small details - a pot and some cutlery wasn’t washed cleanly, no common area with rest of hostel.
• Gilles (7/5): Parfait pour un passage. - Proximité avec la gare. Hôte sympathique. Le logement est rudimentaire, parfait pour une nuit.
• Baptiste (7/5): - Pratique, tout près de la gare entre Andong et Hahoe. Cuisine à disposition (bouilloire, micro-onde). Assez basique. Futons en mousse pas très confortables. Assez bruyant.
• Carlo (9/5): -
• isabelle (5/5): Trop cher pour le service et les équipements proposés - La localisation On ne m’a pas proposé la chambre familiale que j’avais réservée. Salle de bain vétuste, miroir salle. Je ne suis pas arrivée à faire fonctionner l’eau chaude. Le personnel n’était pas sur place.
• Thomas (10/5): -
• Samuel (4/5): -
• Edward (10/5): Brilliant service, and Excellent Location - The location! Super close to the KTX station and bus station for the shuttle to the Folk Village. Comms were beyond excellent - I had a super late train and they were super considerate about this and left me a lovely welcome note on the door with clear instructions. The room was beyond excellent, true Korean living! Shame I couldn’t stay for more days N/A
• Mitra (7/5): The value for money was good. - The location is very convenient. It is located just next to bus terminal and KTX station. The staff was very friendly. The dormitory room with 2 bunk beds suitable for 4 persons is good and comfortable. They provided small towels, toothpaste (no brush), shampoo, body wash, tissues, hair drier. The rooms have gas stove and minimal utensils. It does not have any food options within the hostel. Toilets have water leakage and lock issues. It has no lift.
• Petra (4/5): Overall disappointing - Clean towels every day. It was so dirty it looked like it had not been cleaned the whole year. I had to buy cleaning stuff and cleaned the whole place. The kitchen looked greasy and was black of dust. The bathroom had serious dark fungus and mold growing everywhere. It was disappointing to enter. There was also a smell of plastic chemicals in the room. It came out the closet, so I tried to fill the gaps with paper. One day there was no toilet paper, I bought it myself at the convenience store nearby. There is no kitchen utilities and the owner comes in every day without warning. The mattresses were hard, but I liked that and slept well on it.
• Xiang (10/5): Very nice - Not far away from train station, bus terminal and Korean restaurant No lift, expecially when you have heavy luggage
• Mary (10/5): Great value with comfortable stay - Very comfortable stay
• Mary (10/5): Great option for easy access to bus and train stations - Great location next to train/bus terminals
• Doris (4/5): Horrible stay, dirt, loud, mold - Close to bus station Easy check in and check out NO bed. Just a foldable 5cm mattress on the flor!!! Very uncomfortable. Mold smell from air condition Kitchen not usable. Dirty Very loud: loud street and you hear people next door Not a nice surounding
• Thomas (7/5): Good for a stopover because it is very close the bus and train terminals - Good location, very close to the bus and train terminals, so perfect for a stop over before or after going to Hahoe. If you stay longer in Andong it would probably be better looking for something closer to the city. I had a small aparetment for myself, everything was clean and working fine, in my case good value for money. The name hostel is a little misleading, because it feels more like an apartment block without a general meeting area. Checkin is a little tricky when the owner is not around, because there is only a telephone at the entrance. I finally managed to reach somebody that let me in and found a note on the door how to get into the hostel and the room.
• Alfred (9/5): Highly recommend hostel with staff assisting above and beyond locating my phone left in taxi 10out of 10⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - A small boutique hostel, quite, bathroom have been upgraded, great value. English naming of the hostel on site
• Héctor (9/5): Superb - Very convenient, right next to the train and bus station. The room was nice and comfy. Shower was a bit small.
• Maissam (8/5): Very good -
• Sacha (9/5): Superb - Probably the closest from the bus station which is very convenient
• Effie (6/5): Pleasant - The location is near the bus station. Beds were alright. The owner wasn't around and hard to reach. Eventually we got a code for the door but the room wasn't very clean so felt like a back up plan.
• Yuhsun (6/5): Appreciate their kindness to let me deposit my luggage in the very early morning. - The hostel's location is right by the intercity bus station and train station, and the intracity bus stop is near by the station, so it is very convenient for solo traveler. There're used tissue beside the tissue box, so I can't give a good rating.
• Mario (7/5): Good - Perfect location for one day in Andong. Really close to the train station and 20 min by bus from the center. The bed where a little bit too hard for our habits.
• Alejandro (8/5): Very good -
• Astrid (8/5): Very good - Near the station of Andong so good, the room/apartment was bigger than expecting. A bit more clean would be better
• Conrad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gaffuri (7/5): Good -
• Valerie (7/5): Good - The room itself was fine. Facilities were good. I loved that it was only a 5 minute walk from the bus terminal so access to public transportation. I was expecting a bed but there was only a mat to sleep on. No chair in the room. Never met a live person but did speak to them on the phone.
• Marmotoshi (9/5): Superb -
• Vicente (10/5): Exceptional - Close to the train and bus station. Critical for rush moments and convenient to visit the Village.
• Jeffrey (7/5): rooms are clean, hot shower available - No breakfast provided but location is near bus terminal/train station lack of cooking utensils like plate, bowl, microwave
• Thorsten (7/5): Good place if you take bus/train - Excellent location if you take an early bus or train. Very friendly owner. Appartement like equipped room with kitchen. The place is rather a combination of a stay and a motel in my perception, so the name hostel might be a bit misleading, depending on what you expect from a hostel.
• Jessica (6/5): Pleasant - Good location next to the busstation. We arrived at 4 PM and had to wait until someone was coming for check in. We got another room than we booked but the room was not ready. We had to walk around until the room was cleaned. After cleaning the room was still dirty. We arrived with our one year old baby and had to pay some extra money for the baby - we never had to pay for the baby in any other accomodation. Accomodation is okay for one night.
• Phoko (8/5): Very good -
• Nielsvanderwolf (1/5): Would not advice this - Self check in Water purifier in hallway Reserved a 2-person bedroom with double bed but got a dorm room (no other guests) Bed is very hard and uncomfortable Very noisy, walls seem to be made of paper Not very clean Very expensive for what you get
• James (7/5): Good value for money. - The owner was very friendly. Location is right next to the bus station, which was useful. The owner did walk into the room without much warning in one of the mornings. Fortunately we were up and about to leave, but it did surprise us. The location is good for the bus station, but obviously does mean buses are required to get into town. Room wasn't super clean but also not too bad.
• Tomer (4/5): Disappointing -
• Niv (8/5): Nice hostel nearby the train station - Korean style room (sleeping on the floor, nice experience). Great location just 5 min. from the train station. It was difficult to understand how to operate the boiler for hot water in the shower.
• Rania (9/5): Superb -
• Adrian (9/5): it was a good night - we stayed just one night and booked the room the evening before. the owner was still very welcoming. when we arrived everything was in order and prepared. very close to the bus and trainstation in andong.
• Guillaume (9/5): Superb -
• Silvia (7/5): Good - The position is perfect, just outside the train station and bus station. Very spacious apartment and great value for money if you just have to spend the night. Clean enough. We never met the host. We arrived at about 8:30 PM and we just found a paper outside the main entrance door of the building with our room number and the passcode to enter the room (!). Then I received a message from the host in the Booking app asking me if we managed to get in and giving instructions on how to switch the boiler on. It would have been nice to talk to someone in person.
