Grand Hotel

For a city like Daegu, it was a relief to find a hotel that feels like a proper upscale option. Daegu Grand Hotel stood out to me right away compared with many of the more basic choices around the area. It gave a much more comfortable and polished stay, and I would gladly choose it again when visiting Daegu.

Nothing grand about this 4* hotel but tired looking hotel. It definitely needs to have refurbishment as the bathroom still contains a long bath tub which is quite dangerous for old folks have to "climb" in order to get into the shower. The rooms are big and comfortable but old furnishings. One night the row of rooms were blacked out without electricity and the phone wasn't working and had to go downstairs to inform the reception. The front desk staff had to go to the circuit breaker room to reset the circuit breaker (it shows as well the wiring needs to be replaced as well!)

It's said to be a hotel with a long history, but it lacks any unique character. A Starbucks Reserved store on the first floor is convenient. The hotel's bathroom facilities are lacking in cleanliness and are in poor condition. The shower and bathtub are covered in hair from previous guests. Without anything else nearby, it's not a convenient location.

Stayed her for 2 nights. Hotel has a pretty good location, right off the main road about 12 minute drive from the KTX train station. The rooms (we had 2) are pretty dated. Felt like we were back in the 1980s as the lights are controlled by this phone like device. Carpet and bathroom tile are showing their age, and there was a lack of counter space in the bathroom. The overall size of the room was decent and had plenty of room for luggage. Bed was OK, a little firm but I slept OK on it. The air con in one room worked much better than in the other. We had breakfast booked with the room rate and it was pretty good. They had both western and Korean dishes. I'd recommend it if the cost isn't too expensive. Hotel also has a nice gym and both men's and women's saunas. It really seems like it's just the rooms that are lacking and in need of refurbishment. Staff were also very nice but spoke limited English.
