Goodstay New Grand Hotel

Simple and basic hotel with spacious clean rooms and daily housekeeping. Toiletries and amenities provided are very adequate and complete. The place is managed by old efficient folks and check in is a breeze. Very near the Daegu Train and Metro station and many eateries and convenient stores around.

Although it is located conveniently located next to public transportation this was the worst experience in a hotel of our 3 week holiday in South Korea. We had stayed at this hotel 10 years ago, it was owned by an older couple then and the check-in was on the first floor. For our stay in 2022 it really didn't live up to the good memories we had from that time. The check-in is now at the ground level, seems the owners have changed. The rooms have remained largely the same, they have just worn down over time.

Check-in went fast, after showing our reservation and ID we got a key. The room was spacious and had a functioning AC. It smelled like tobacco smoke everywhere. There were holes and stains in the bedding. The bed frame and other furniture had drips and stains on them. The bathroom mirror was covered in scale. The bidet's controls were also covered in scale. As pictured below.

The matresses are hard.

The rooms seem to be meant to be rented short-term. There was a package in the room with c*ndoms, lube and such. My room had two packages, one with items missing. There are items around the room advertising various 'massage' services.

We booked multiple nights, but left after 1. Although perhaps for 1 night this is sufficient if you need to catch a train. Keep in mind that this style of accomodation is a love hotel.

The hotel is classic but so complete. The bathroom has bidet, thats so important for me. The bed is nice completed with warmer. The room is spacious. There is large smart TV with channels. Refrigerator with drinks. And the most valuable thing for me that day was theres computer and high speed wifi. The location is near to Daegu station. This place is really recommended.

Friendly staff, possibly they are the owner and her son. The room rate is relatively low considerng it's location(just less than one minute walk from the exit of metro line 1 Daegu station) and large room space. The staff are very friendly and willing to answer any questions. We arrive at the hotel very late and very hungry. We just simply ask the front where to find a restaurant. The staff didn't just tell us where to find one but brought us directly to the nearby restaurant.

Something the hotel has to improve, the air conditioner is not effective enough.

I can not give to this place negative starts, otherwise I would! We have booked 3 nights stay. It was really dirty - old toothpaste in the bathroom, hair everywhere, stink. On the small tea table in the room (yes the room was well equipped) were some small parts of the food of the previous visitor. But, however, we decided to stay here as planned. At the second day the room was cleaned (the sheets were folded) and our T-shirts were made as a ball and dropped on the sofa (yes there is a tiny sofa). But, however, we hoped that the people here are doing their best. BUT on the third day we found the door unlocked (happily nothing was missing) and a dirty, stinking rag, forgotten by the cleaning lady on the desk - the only place that we suggested was clean. We have never tried the breakfast (you can guess why). I recommend to the other visitors - just stay away. On top of everything you will be able to hear clearly every train that pass by Daegu station and you will have the opportunity to meet all the homeless people that lives in front of your window.
The only positive thing was that there are unlimited free water bottles on the 2nd floor.
