Traveling to South Korea? Find Chungcheongbuk hotels

I have never seen a 4-star Ramada. This place was equipped with everything I desired. Luxury bedding and bathroom appliances are always at the top of my list. I excepted a small gym like most hotels; however, the hotel had more of a sports complex. I was thrilled to be the only one enjoying the large Jim-Jil ban, which is a Korean public bath and spa; it is basically a Korean style country club. Additionally, there was a large movie theater connected to one side of the hotel and a large HomePlus (like Walmart with groceries) connected to the other side. I did not like that had to pay a little extra to enjoy the gym. However, I did like that it discouraged hotel folks from participating in gym activities. This made the all the gym and spa amenities very available to me with no children in sight.

I stayed for a night for my Seoul to Busan cycling trip. Hotel owner very friendly, although he can't speak well English but he is doing his best to communicate with me and tried to make me fell like at home. This hotel provide almost all cyclists needed, washing machine, dryer, bicycles box lock, bicycle self fix station, out door cooking area and simple self service breakfast. I found my bicycle rear tyre flat just after I check out, bicycle self fix station really help me alot. Highly recommended this hotel.

Location at entrance to Sognisan National Park is great. Built in 1968 it feels like some things were never renovated (bathrooms!, furniture, ceiling), but ok for spending the night. Breakfast starting at 8am only, thus we never tried it as we were always out hiking earlier. Somehow this Hotel does not match the portrayed splendor of all the other Lake Hills resorts...

This hotel is little far away from the city and there is not much around it. However thinking that taxis are cheap it can easily be used as a base. It is the closest hotel to the airport. The manager of this hotel is also excellent. When i enquired at the reception about dining options around the hotel he came back from home and he drove me to one of the restaurants. The hotel also provides free transport to the airport. I quite enjoyed and it fit my purpose.

Great location on a hill with great view. We book ondol room that can fit 4. Room with floor heating but unable to control the heater. Floor was too hot at night and we have to open window. Hotel has great outdoor hot spring and enjoy the most every evening. A nice and small ski resort 3km away also good for whole family. Less than a km downhill is Suanbo town which serves wild bird (pheasant) and rabbit in most restaurant; a local cuisine. Hotel staff very attentive and helpful but need extra effort to communicate as they don't speak too much English. One can go Forrest trekking or walk nearby as well. Overall great hotel and service.

Danyang is a small, quaint town that has a lot of sightseeing treasures. We came as a family of five (husband, myself, teenager, elem student, and toddler) on the off season and received a family room for a huge discount. The room was large with 1 double size bed and a separate ondol bedroom (Korean traditional room with bedding only). It was perfect for our family! It also had a kitchenette with fridge, sink, stovetop, rice cooker, and dishes so we could cook breakfast before we headed out each morning. The people at the front desk spoke decent English and were very helpful at showing us a map of the area and recommending sights to see. Downtown Danyang is a little bit of a walk but the front desk will call a taxi for you for free. From the hotel to the garlic market was less than $3.00 in taxi fair. One of the major draws to this hotel was the indoor Aquaworld - which we enjoyed for an entire day of our stay. It cost a bit to get in - $44 for all five of us - but there is a Korean-style sauna, huge indoor pool, indoor and outdoor hot spring tubs, steam sauna, small and 2-person water slides, a snack bar, and much more. There is also an outdoor water park during the peak summer season. Overall, the hotel was super clean with restaurants and a convenience market, game room, computer room, and more. We were super impressed with the entire stay and ended up staying an extra night just to see more sights! I would recommend going to the Gosudonggul (cave) and seeing Guinsa - the large buddhist temple north of Danyang. In town the garlic market was interesting and there were plenty of gorgeous views from the river walk.

Didnt have much time to explore but a nice place and cheap, comfortable hotel. The tv has alot of programs to choose and wifi is fast as well. Location is rather good. The only downside is there is no contacts(phone, email, website) to contact the hotel for more location information. I actually find my way by searching in details on google map. Staff cant really speak english cld be a problem for tourists

Stayed here for 3 nights whilst visiting friends in Cheongju. Hotel is in a great location, only about 200m from both bus terminals, express and inter city. Room was very comfortable and I really have no complaints. Staff were friendly but do not speak any English whatsoever. Hotels in Cheongju seem to be more expensive than other cities, so this hotel is comparable in price. When I next visit Cheongju, I will probably stay here again.

The reason i booked this hotel is because 1 of my itineray was to visit the Cheongnamdae Presidental Villa in south of Cheongju. So based on the location, this is the only hotel i can get. I know hotel standard check in is in the afternoon. But i came to cheongju from another city, all i expact is to drop my backpack, so i can start exploring. When i reached the hotel, the staff seems unfriendly (or maybe was caught by surprised that i reached in the morning). After some simple communication, i managed to drop my bag, and i proceed with my days. When i came back in the evening, the same staff, seem impatiently to pass me back my backpack, pass me a pack of toiletry & key, and that's it. No further explaination was given on breakfast n etc. I personally will not recommend this hotel if you are like an international backpacker like me, or do not speak korean, or just need a shelter to shower and sleep.

Not far from the bus terminal, easy to catch city and intercity buses. Also the traditional market with many restaurants and all kind of foods available. The hostel was very cozy and everything was prepared when we arrived although we didn't meet the owner in person first but later in the evening. Next day we were advised how to take the bus to go hiking in sobaek mountains. The room and bath was very tidy and comfortable to stay I wish a simple breakfast would also have been included
