Self-Catering Accommodations in Andong

Kim was very welcoming and her place is very lovely. Everything was clean and surpassed our expectations. She gave us some tips and we could enjoy our stay in Andong even more because of our stay.

Very new, clean and amazing facilities. It was very spacious and comfortable bed .

We liked the home-like comfort and the well-done renovation and up-to-date facilities of an old hanok house in the middle of the alleys of Taehwa.

Beautifully designed and extremely clean.

beautiful and in pure korean style.

It's well maintained and guidelines are in place to ensure every guest feels comfortable. Keep it up.

Staying at the Head House of the Andong Kim Clan was an unforgettable experience. This Hanok is part of the Folklore Cultural Heritage of South Korea, and you can feel the history in every corner. I was told the home was built in 1779, though the landmark sign outside suggests it may date even earlier. The owner, who was born in the very room we stayed in, and his wife were gracious and welcoming hosts. The setting is beautifully rural and quiet—there’s no television, but instead you can enjoy the sounds of nature, whether it’s the gentle rain or the night chorus outside your window as you drift off to sleep. In the morning, we were served fresh corn cake and a crisp apple, a simple but heartfelt touch that made the stay even warmer. As with any Hanok, the sleeping arrangements are traditional: you’ll be resting on pads placed directly on the heated floor. The pads here were not the thickest, so I doubled mine, but I still found the experience authentic and comfortable. The traditional pillows were surprisingly pleasant. The bathroom facilities—a toilet and combined sink/shower—are located in a separate building just a short, covered walk away, which added to the sense of staying in a historic setting rather than detracting from it. Overall, this is not a luxury stay in the conventional sense, but it is a rare opportunity to immerse yourself in Korean history and culture. Any small inconveniences are far outweighed by the charm, authenticity, and hospitality you’ll experience. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a deeper connection to Korea’s heritage.

The host was AMAZING!! He was SO helpful in telling us about the area. He even drove us to some nearby temples and sights and gave us a tour, telling us historical information, as well as recommending dinner places to us too. He called us a taxi after our stay was done and all of this was for no extra charge. Sweetest guy ever, and he spoke great English! It was so fun interacting with him! The property was beautiful, and it really felt like we had stepped back into the past. The home was really clean, and accommodating. It was a feel of home that we hadn’t had in a while, and we loved it.
