Tagok, Hamyang hotel rooms at the Independent

"Cozy place and good value for the money"

"Helpful owner"

"It was extremely dirty everywhere except for the room which was ok. Barely adequate. The bar/kitchen area looked completely abandoned as though some disaster had hit the place and everyone had run away. The basement area, where we eventually found out we had to make breakfast with mouldy bread was disgusting. There was a large dead cockroach in the sink and the walls were crumbling. We’re not fussy people but this was really bad and we left after one night. The only communication we had was through Instagram with the manager. Not a common thing for people in their 60’s. The photos are from many years ago and the promises in the text are just not available. In summary, one to avoid.."

"Staff were efficient and the staff person in charge of the breakfast buffet was friendly. Hotel was clean but the towels and bed linens were old and had holes. Carpet had seen better days. However, the room was comfortable and good for one night if you just need to crash after spending time at Jirisan. It's a bit far from city center and the more lively area but is decent in a pinch."
