Hanoks in Andong

As a female solo traveler, this was by far the best stay I’ve had in Korea. The host is incredibly kind and thoughtful—she genuinely cares about her guests. She had preplanned tours for the surrounding sights, like how to visit Dosan Seowon and Hahoe Village using perfectly timed local buses. It made everything so easy and stress-free. The house is cozy and peaceful, and I felt completely safe and welcomed the entire time. She even waited for me to return from a night stroll to make sure I got back safely. It’s rare to find this level of care and hospitality. I left feeling truly cared for. Highly recommended!

What a hotel!!! I will breakdown my review because so much to say but ABSOLUTELY LOVED MY STAY!! Location: 20 minutes from the intercity bus terminal, you can take a taxi outside if you need help the hotel can assist in arranging one. It is located right outside the Hahoe Village. Service: Amazing staff! Many thanks to Sue who made sure there was someone waiting at the hotel as we arrived at 10:00PM which is past check time. The manager who received us and was kind enough to book a taxi for the next day I cannot remember his name :( many many thanks to Jun the general manager who ensured my stay was comfortable, explained the history of every single meal provided and answered any questions. Lastly the kitchen and housekeeping staff who were great! Rooms: I cannot recommend staying in this hotel enough! If you like culture and want to experience hanok stay this is it!! The room was so beautiful, they provide all the amenities. Hygiene levels are very well maintained. I loved soaking in the spa bath 10/10 Restaurant: I had my breakfast and dinners in the hotel. They offer local breakfast-bulgogi or continental I recommend trying the local breakfast was soo good. I also highly recommend the dinner which is curated and definitely try the local wine and makgeolli you will not regret it!! As an added plus Mr. KIM who is the 'tour guide' of the hotel was able to provide a full day tour of the historical places around and we finished with the village exploration and mask performance. He is very knowledgable seeing as he is a published professor with UNESCO so I recommend highly his services. Lots of cafes too around the hotel and I think the village offers paid shuttle service to the city. Overall this was a great great stay!! I went to reconnect with nature and take a break from the city bustle and it exceeded my expectations!!! Do stay here 100%

We had a great time in Taehwa House! We came to Andong to visit Hahoe Folk Village, but weren't very lucky with the weather. So it was particularly delightful to find refuge in this nicely decorated and elegantly refurbished hanok. The owner was very friendly, welcoming and warm and swiftly answered all our questions. She even left some lovely gifts for us. We were so wet and cold when we arrived, that we just decided to stay in for the rest of the evening and enjoy the stay in the hanok. We would have loved to stay for a bit longer, but unfortunately time is always too short. Thank you vary much for a great stay in Andong!

It's a pretty hanok, with lots of daylight and plenty of space, and such a lovely courtyard garden in front. The hosts were very nice, and let us drop our bags early and leave them for an hour after checkout, and also gave us a map and guide to the mask festival, which was really helpful. It is private and peaceful and quiet, and we had a very pleasant stay here.
