Daegu Hotels with Pools

I had to go on a business trip at short notice. Luckily, I was able to extend my stay in the same room. The breakfast was a nice bonus, and the place was clean and comfortable. I had a good rest.

I stayed at this hotel for a 3-day business trip. 1. **Location & Accessibility:** As someone traveling from out of town and relying on the subway, the hotel's proximity to Jungangno Station Exit 1 was absolutely ideal for transportation. The surrounding commercial area is bustling, offering plenty of dining options, which is great. However, it does come with some noise pollution from people drinking and chatting late into the night, making it louder than hotels in quieter, more secluded areas. With many commercial facilities nearby, including the Dongseongno Tourist Special Zone, and it being a weekend, I also witnessed a vibrant festival atmosphere with many young people, including teenagers. It was quite a fresh experience. 2. **Hotel Room Facilities:** I felt that the accommodation fee of over 500,000 won for two nights was excessively high. Aside from it being a SUITE Room and having a styler, I don't think the facilities were outstanding for the price. Disposable toiletries like toothpaste and toothbrushes weren't provided, so guests have to purchase them individually. Shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were, of course, available. I hadn't brought my personal hairdryer because the website mentioned hair dryers and curling irons were provided. To my surprise, the hairdryer in the room was tiny, only blew air without any styling capabilities, and the curling iron was so small it felt like a child's toy. I inquired at the front desk, but they said that's all they had. I ended up buying a hairdryer from Olive Young just to use it. As I was on a business trip, a good hairdryer was essential for me. Considering the hotel's price point, I believe such items should be adequately stocked and usable. On a positive note, the bedding and other items, as well as the cleanliness, were excellent. The bedding was particularly comfortable. The underfloor heating also made the room pleasantly warm and cozy. 3. **Breakfast & Other Amenities:** Since breakfast was included, I had two morning meals. The food was average, and I felt it could have been better. On the first day, I received a small cup of beer as a welcome drink. I also checked out the fitness facility, as advertised on the website, but it was much smaller, cramped, and more claustrophobic than depicted, so I just left. I didn't book the hotel myself; my organization did, so I had read the website and reviews beforehand. However, my actual experience left me with quite a few disappointments. It felt like just a small hotel. While it has the significant advantage of being in a prime transportation hub and could be useful for groups to leverage the surrounding commercial area, for a solo traveler seeking relaxation, it doesn't quite hit the mark.

I expected this hotel to be a five-star property, but the service felt more like a motel. The front desk staff were not well trained and were unable to clearly answer my questions. The hotel would benefit from renovations and service improvements to meet five-star standards. However, the location is excellent and perfect for walking around the lake.
