Daegu Central Area hotels & places to stay

The Hanok & Spa was really difficult to find because actually, its also associated/under the same owner as "The Style" hostel. On naver maps they listed the Hanok & Spa as being in the same location as the style. I didn't know the 2 were associated, so I was walking around at night aimlessly. By chance I decided to go into the style and ask for directions--apparently CHECK IN and CHECK OUT is at the Style. The staff member led me to the Hanok & Spa which is located down the road a bit down some dark alleyway that would've been impossible for me to find without the staff member. Its about a 10-15 minute walk from Jungangro station, which is a bit far. Other than that, my stay was great. It just so happened that I was only staying 1 night, and no one had booked in the 4 person female room I chose. They upgraded me to a single room with a double bed. There was also only 1 other couple staying that night, so I pretty much got the entire hostel to myself. It was very clean, and the bathroom was very nice, spacious, and they even provided body wash, shampoo, conditioner, a towel, and a hair dryer. You need your own tooth brush and toothpaste. My stay there was very comfortable, and the staff member was very sweet and helpful. She was very talkative and sweet. She was Korean and claimed she couldn't speak English very well, but the staff there actually do have good English. In the morning breakfast is served at the cafe in The Style hostel. It's a simple toast and jam breakfast, and they also provided instant Korean mixed coffee and tea. They also have eggs that you can cook yourself on a mini burner. Overall, I had a great experience and definitely recommend anyone traveling to Daegu to stay here!

I was in Daegu for a conference and the location from The Style to the conference locations were 10-15 minutes walking. Access to public transportation was also very easy. The staff at The Style were very kind and helpful and always greeted you with a smile. My bed was large and comfortable, all the basic amenities one might need was provided for, they even gave us a simple but filling breakfast every morning. I would stay here again if I do find myself in Daegu in the future.

The Guesthouse is only a couple of minutes of walk from the subway station and the downtown area, making it a very convenient place for sightseeing/traveling. The price is cheap but the atmosphere of the place definitely wasn't cheap at all! The best part is the very helpful staffs. They helped with everything from recommending places to eat to sightseeing, to just generally being nice! I would definitely come here again next time! :)

I had a really good stay here. Great location in the middle of Daegu with many things around the corner or within walking distance. The beds are soft, I repeat, the beds are SOFT. Everything is clean and there are plenty of toilets and showers. The free breakfast includes eggs, toast, bagels, juice and peanut butter and jam +more. The staff are friendly and all speak good english, from what I heard. The owners are also the nicest people I have ever met. The man gave me ice water when I said I was going on a hike and ice cream. The woman gave me so many good suggestions about where I could go in Daegu and Gyeongju, with extra inside information I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere, which made my visit to those places even more special. And as promised (I hope you see this) To the owner: I got my exam results and they were very positive, so I was accepted into the school I want to go to.

First of all the place was really difficult to find and for some weird reason google map could not locate it, so I had to ask shop owners from around the place for the location. The sign for the guesthouse is really small (quiet easy to miss if you're not looking) and the guesthouse itself is on the 3rd floor of the building. I only stayed there for a night and from my short experience, it was a good place to stay; great value for money. The lady who runs the place was nice. I arrived early than the check-in period and she was kind enough to store my bags inside the guesthouse so that I can explore Daegu a bit. Breakfast was also served on time and was lovely. I also had the chance to use her foot massage, which was really good since my feet were hammered from all the exploring I did around Daegu. Location wise, in general, the guesthouse is really close to a lot of shops, restaurants, bus stops and the subway station. There's a lot going on in the area to keep you busy. I would recommend this guesthouse to any ladies who are planning to visit Daegu and are looking for a no-frill, cheap place to stay.

I had a delightful stay at the Mama Guesthouse. The house is in a quiet neighborhood; the room, although a little tightly-packed with beds, was well-kept; and the hostess was very sweet. She speaks only a little English, but if she needs to she pulls out her smart phone and uses a translator. The bathroom facilities are adequate, though I couldn’t figure out how to work the shower. (There’s only a faucet on the floor with a shower nozzle attached; without the shower I sort of crouched down to rinse my hair under the water.) Most of all, I was pleasantly surprised by the full breakfast: toast, eggs, coffee, a hot dog, part of an apple, and a glass of milk. For an overnight stay like the one I had, it was perfect. My only complaint is that the information about the guest house listed on Agoda is completely false. The map makes it look as though this guesthouse is located near the Jungangno station on the red line. In reality, the Mama Guesthouse is about a ten-minute walk from the Myeongdeok station, which is one station south of Banwoldang on the red line. Get out at exit 2 and stay on the left-hand side of the street heading straight (East) from the exit. You’ll be following the route of the blue line (currently under construction). You’ll reach a large intersection. Keep going straight on the side of the road where you were. At this point, you’ll pass a station on the blue line. At the end of this block, on the side of the road where you are walking, is a church. Immediately BEFORE that church is a small alley. The Mama Guesthouse is down that alley, marked with a small yellow sign. Ring the doorbell at the gate. There will be a bus stop right just past this alley, next to the church. The stop is called Daebong Cheonju Church (대봉천주교회). It looks like buses 400, 402, 509, 704, and 730 all ride to this stop. When the blue train line is finished, the Mama Guesthouse will be a two-minute walk away from one of these blue line stations.

In Dec 2016, I have stayed at Onna for 5 nights that was definitely a great deal!!! :))) I traveled alone and came from Hong Kong. I have been Korea for 4 times. I stayed and experienced almost 10 guesthouses in Korea before and I highly recommend Onna for anyone who travels in Daegu, no matter how long you stay, it's absolutely your choice! The location is 15 mins walking from Jungangro Station, 25 mins walking from Daegu Station, 25 mins walking from Dongseongro there are many stores selling fashion items, coffee shops and restaurants. There are very crowded during weekends and you can see the nightlife of Korean. It's very convenient. The landlord of the guesthouse is nice and helpful. The environment and equipment are very clean! They provide breakfast; you can cook by yourself, but since my schedule was too tight and kept rushing I couldn’t enjoy the breakfast. It’s very important to have hot water during shower and it was good with that! I wasn’t disappointed and felt satisfied with my stay.

The Good: The best thing about this guesthouse is that it's located in the center of downtown. You can walk to many of the main attractions. Also, it's on the Daegu Tourist map. The host is very friendly also speaks very decent English and can help you with attractions. The Bad: This place is a bit hard to find and Taxi's won't go down it's street. It's also on the third floor of a building. Furthermore, there is no real privacy. The owner/host is rarely there. When we arrive we had to call her to let us in and check us in. The Ugly: This Guesthouse is very much like you are crashing at someone's house. The place was messy in some parts and dirty in others. The bathrooms are disgusting. I'd recommend you bring your own slippers and wet wipes if you are sensitive. We stayed on the second floor and there were no lights up the spiral staircase. I am a pretty relax and understanding guest. All I really need is a nice, clean, safe place to crash in a central location. Unfortunately, the unclean state of the guesthouse overshadows the positives.

In Seoul we went to a guesthouse so it felt like heaven when we entered this hotel in Daegu. The rooms were really luxurious and had everything you needed: BIG TV, cozy beds, clean bathroom, airconditioning and even a PC! Daegu station is just 1 minute away from the hotel which is great because there isn't much around the hotel area. The staff of the hotel is really nice and helpful but doesn't speak english. it wasn't a problem for us since we arranged everything we wanted. I'm also really satisfied with the housekeeping of the hotel. They're really fast and the rooms are always clean. They changed the bed sheets daily which I was not used to at all! The reception staff even did our laundry for free. Overall: Great staff.

the hotel was minutes walk from a nice park which had an excellent library in the grounds. it was also within easy walking distance to the metro and daegu station, there was also a bus stop about 10 minutes walk away where you can catch a local bus to the mountain area. the area was very quiet at night which would suit singles or couples not after clubs/bars. the main shopping area was only 10 minutes walk away

I booked at this location because I wanted to stay at a hanok-style hotel, but for a good price. It was a little expensive for me, just because I was on my own, but if you're traveling with another person and can split the room cost I doubt you could find a better deal. The hotel has nicely upgraded modern facilities (like the bathroom and kitchen) while still feeling charmingly historic. I went in winter, which I was a little worried about, but the floor heating worked brilliantly. Still, I'd warn you to think about it if you're a person that's sensitive to cold-- that quick trip outside to get to the bathroom might be rough. The building was beautiful, and despite being walking distance to the center of town it was quiet and peaceful. The staff was super friendly and helpful too, can't recommend this place enough!

Our stay at 2x Hotel was what I expected. The hotel is in a nice central location of Daegu city, about a 3 dollar taxi ride to downtown. There were two computers in our room with internet and a large TV. The only negative thing was the Jacuzzi bath tub in the bathroom was broken. We were looking forward to letting our daughter splash around with the jets on, but the whole system didn't work at all.

Stayed here overnight November 2018, it was a last-minute booking. I was not expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised by the location, decor, room amenities, and free breakfast. My stay was somewhat ironic in that the hotel location is right in the same building and floor of a language school I worked at ten years ago. Buffet breakfast was OK, however I would make one suggestion: the breakfast chef prepares an 'egg toast', which contains ham, fried eggs, toast, and jam. Westerners don't like jam with ham or eggs, and if they are going to offer something like egg toast, they might as well go ahead and offer scrambled eggs as well. Other than that, I enjoyed my stay and will certainly stay there again if I am in Daegu.

Crystal Hotel was an excellent choice. After arriving late at night, the hotel was immediately outside of Bangogae Subway Station. This also made it easy to get around the city as most other sights, restaurants, etc. are less than 3 stops away on either side of Bangogae. The hotel staff spoke limited English, but they were very helpful when at all possible. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Daegu! Note: Bring your own toiletries, they are not provided.

we changed hotels in daegu - before we were at the exco, which was completely out of the way, when we moved to the eldis regent, it was so nice to be close to downtown, to one of the markets as well as other attractions and shopping. this hotel's selling point is location, location, location. the knowledge of english of the staff was not great, but they were smiling and eager to please. this hotel caters more to asians then english speaking clientele. the bathroom was missing a shower door, which was a bit of a negative. we did not eat at the hotel (they only offered breakfast buffet i think).i rated food dining as poor as there was no option to say n/a.

I stayed here for 2 weeks. Location wise - it is great. Less than 200 meters from the nearest train station; screen golf/baseball right next door; various restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Catholic church 400 meters away. Good neighborhood to jog around. Another plus - visiting baseball teams playing against the Daegu team stayed at the hotel while I was there (mid-late August). Gym is sufficient unless you're trying to get huge while you are staying at the hotel. There is a small indoor golf driving range at the back of the gym. My only complaints are that my room did not have a bidet, the safe was broken for the first couple of days, and that it is relatively overpriced. Daegu isn't known for its luxurious hotels, but for $150 a night over there, I expect more. It could at least include breakfast.

Fantastic location. Only a few minutes' walk from the main shopping area, restaurants and cafes and the Oriental Medicine Museum and market. We really liked the room design and décor. Beds were very comfortable. The breakfast buffet is excellent, with a huge variety, including a good selection of fresh fruit, something which is often in short supply in other hotels in Korea. A vegetarian sandwich snack option would be welcome in the bar. Other than that, our only other criticism relates to the Wi-Fi in the room, which was very slow and kept dropping out. From what I've seen, Novotel is easily the best hotel in Daegu and we will definitely go back again.
