Room was different from my reservation, but they forced me to pay additional charge for the room I reserved. I had to wait to use hot water for twenty minutes. The worst hotel I have ever stayed.

Very little warm water but otherwise very comfortable and convenient for the town center on foot and for buses to the bus/train terminal and nearby sites.

The bed was very firm, like no give but I still slept well. Had to call for checkin which was a challenge due to international phone number shenanigans. But the staff were excellent, hotel was clean, and the location was amazing. Also the bathrooms are full wetrooms and that was a bit of a surprise!

Excellent location. Staff friendly, but very little English. Easy navigation from train station. Decor is a bit weird, but not objectionable. I will probably stay here when I return to Andong in future. I was quite happy. Nearby ice cream place, Achgara, is amazing!

Friendly place at the heart of Andong
Slightly old-ish place. The person at the reception was really helpful, making the booking for a jjim dak place for us (and the jjim dak place was not mentioned in social media but a great place nevertheless). Provided various tips about famous places nearby. The high street / mall is right next to the hotel and the traditional market and jjim dak street very close by.

3 GPS units to address and could not find hotel
I'm sure this hotel is at a different address/location than show on map, and would have been a nice place but Looking for refund. I used a korean GPS, Waze and Google maps. All 3 went to address on website and could not find hotel. I called to get directions. Ad says speaks engkish but only korean. Ended up getting another hotel. I have a large truck. Ad says RV, bus, truck parking. There is no way a RV could even get to area where gps/street location is at. Area is walking street only area with extreamy narrow side roads. Im use to that living in korea but no way an RV or person towing goes through.

Excellent Staff and Great location.
The Andong Hotel is a Grand Dame indeed but still has charm. The room has all the amenities, i.e., nice tv, toiletries, fridge etc. The beds are quite firm but I didn't find that a problem. The bathroom (and the room itself) were very clean of not a bit dated. The staff were excellent and did everything in their power to make sure you were comfortable. There is free Internet but I found it difficult to connect at times - try the other room numbers when hooking up. Laundry is available for 10,000 Won for one load, wash and dry. It's a 10 minute walk from the train station and very easy to find - there's a tourist information booth just outside the station as well to show you the way. It's very close to the market (where I highly recommend you try the Andong chicken) and all the shops and restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

Good location
I was greeted by first name and check in was quick. As others have said the decor is interesting and dated. The room is clean and had a large TV. The bed is one of the hardest I have encountered in Korea but they also had the most comfortable pillows. They didn't seem to have any large towels, but they do supply numerous hand towels. The hotel is in a great location for shopping and restaurants. It is also walking distance from the train station.

Great Hotel.
Great staff. Don't speak much English but that's expected in this part of Korea. Right in the middle of Andong. I loved Andong because it's such a traditional town and isn't so Americanized or Modernized like Seoul. Beds wer hard. But that's the Korean way lol. Wifi worked great: got to make sure you put your key in the key slot by the door for everything to work. Hotel is easy to find. Just show KOREAN address to taxi driver. They don't understand Romanized (English characters) in that city either. But yea. I enjoyed it. For reference : I am a solo traveler 28 yr old female from America.

Nice centrally located hotel
This hotel is a nice centrally located hotel within a short walking distance of both the train station and buses departing for Hahoe Folk Village and Dosan Seowan Academy which are the two must see sights in the area. Rooms are large, clean and comfortable with plenty of amenities.

The hotel was a little difficult to find as it was close to the mall. However the location is great as it is within walking distance to the mall and the market. There is limited parking in front of the hotel.

Andong, great food experience
Hotel was clean and comfortable. Had window but no view. Staff helpful. Facilities a little tired. Not much actually in Andong but did have a couple of great meals. Bus station is about 5 ks out of town Taxi is about 9000 won or you can get a bus. Locality was not as interesting as we had thought.

Happy but be cautious!
When we arrived we were told we needed a second room despite the form & website clearly saying we were 3 guests checking in. Thankfully, we were given free bedding for the floor as a solution. Location was fantastic though- very central so would recommend it overall.

오래된 건물임. 청소는 잘 하는 것 같으나 건물이 오래되서... 출장가서 그냥 조용하게 그리고 저렴한 가격에 잠만자고 갈거라면 추천. 가족 혹은 연인과 함께라면....
