The facility was one of the cutest place I experienced. The place was operated and run by mother and daughter team. They were both very friendly and courteous. The hotel was nothing fancy nor state of the art place, but the deco and the atmosphere were excellent. Their breakfast options were also unique and healthy. Only problem was that they don't have an elevator, but the cuteness and the uniqueness and friendliness compensated for the lack of the elevator.

This hotel js family-run type of business and the host can speak fairly good english. The rooms are big & clean as shown in the pictures. We book a room for 2 person but the room can accomodate 3 as there were 2 queen size beds plus there is a dining area with tv. This property is not by the beach area but still.have many eating options around the hotel. The main mode of public transport are buses or taxis. There is a bus terminal next to the hotel & it's approximately 10k won taxi ride from Pohang Station. All in all we love the cosy place.

Nice place to stay
It was nicer than I expected. The hotel was very clean with modern taste. I stayed alone for 2 nights. The room was small but cozy. Simple breakfast was included. The bean porridge and cup noodles were also available with no charge. I needed a taxi. They kindly made a phone call and arranged a taxi service for me. A little bit of street noise at night, but it is not bad and I was able sleep well. I will go there again if I need a place to stay in that city.

Newly renovated and spotlessly clean. Conveniently located right next to the Express Bus Terminal and near restaurants. Most importantly, the couple running this place are among the nicest and kindest people I've met in Korea. They seem like they've poured their heart into designing and operating the rooms, and it really shows! We felt really taken care of during our stay and we hope to return in the future.

24년 12월에 투숙하고 어제 2번째 투숙했습니다. 늦은밤 체크인했지만 미리 메세지로 호실, 비번, 주차방법을 알려주셔서 수월하게 체크인할 수 있었습니다. 편안하고 안락한 침대 덕분에 꿀잠 잤습니다. 아침 조식도 간단하지만 정성을 다해 마련해주셔서 맛있게 먹었습니다. 퇴실시 마중까지 나와주셔서 또한번 감동했습니다. 감사합니다.
