Excellent hotel in Daegu
The location was convenient close to everything, there are tons of restaurants and shops around. The staff were friendly and the breakfast buffet was excellent.
I loved the huge bath tub in the room which is rare to find in Korea.

This small boutique hotel was a pleasant surprise. I gave it a 5-star rating on every aspect and need to emphasize how helpful the front desk staff were for us….. foreigners with no Korean language ability. When I return to Daegu one day, I will most definitely stay at Rivertain Hotel again.

Fabulous experience! Easy walking distance from two subway stops. Amazing breakfast buffet—one of the better I’ve seen. Friendly and professional staff. Big room with a bidet and spa tub. In a good neighborhood with shopping and dining all around. Definitely would stay again.

This place is convenient for dining & shopping. The room is spacious that I can pack my luggage easily. I was surprised that there is a jacuzzi in my bathroom. I will choose this hotel again when I come to Daegu next time.

Excellent location for easy walking access to all the bars and restaurants and a short drive to the Shinsegae Mall. Nice room and professional staff. I stay at this hotel every time I come to Daegu. The only problem is parking is extremely tight but that's normal in Korea.

Pleasant last minute hotel stay
Had to make a last minute hotel switch because the previous hotel was bad. Rivertain blew me away with their quality for the price. Enjoyed the fresh fruit and decent eggs for breakfast, appreciated the clean main room aesthetic, and the front desk staff were friendly and accommodating. For any return trips, I am very likely to stay here again.

This is a nice clean no-frills hotel within shopping and dining locations. Exceptional location within walking distance to Daegu Station. Breakfast was very good. The beds were comfy and had clean linens The only thing was there was no fridge and complimentary water bottles. The clothing UV sterilizer was a plus. Will come back.

Honestly it was a beautiful hotel located in a great spot for restaurants, bars, etc. However, if that is not your scene I wouldn't recommend as it can be loud.

Fantastic room (vip A) and great staff. The breakfast and coffee is very good. It is in an area of town where there were mostly young couples on the street. The surrounding resturants are open late so just be aware that there may be some noise from the street late into the night.

We will return
We were very pleased with literally everything! Location was great. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was always fresh and plentiful. The room was amazing and comfortable. On check out the front desk called for a cab, while waiting, the cleaning attendant found that I left my phone in the room. She called down to the front desk and brought it to us in the lobby. I can’t say enough good things.

It was a great place to stay. It is located at the center of the city and closed to public transportation stations. Therefore, it was so convenient to travel around. Nearby there are lots of good restaurants to eat and shop. Loved their breakfast. It was delicious. Gave everything 5 of 5 except one because one of the personnel doesn’t seem to have the same attitude like the others. Her face was like emotionless and her attitude was like she didn’t want to be there or something. Other than her, others were friendly and kind. Will definitely revisit the place and recommend to others.

Front Desk Staff
Everything was amazing except the front desk staff responsible for checking people in. In English and Korean, she had an attitude that I have rarely experienced from a Korean hotel staff. Seems like she may need a break. Might be worthwhile to reassess her total hours to ensure the employee can welcome guests with a warm smile and attitude. Other areas were great. My experience at the restaurant during breakfast was amazing - wonderful kitchen and table staff. Rooms were wonderful as well

Overall, it was a good stay. Spent one night on my transit to another city. Booked this hotel since it wasn't too far from the KTX train station (10 min. by taxi) and the airport (20 min. by taxi). Lots of eating options around the hotel. The hotel was very quiet although it was on a street where a lot of 20 somethings were eating out and dating. There was a faint old smoking smell in the hallway and the building, although updated, is probably quite old. The breakfast was included in my package; it was decent with a variety of fruits, veggies, hot food, and pastries available. Overall, good value.

Small boutique hotel, perfect location
Reserved the three twin beds - room in April 2025 - It's in the heart of downtown Daegu steps away from the jewelry section of town. Lots of places to shop, eat, and catch transit walking out the front entrance of the hotel. The staff are friendly, speaks English, and very helpful. The lobby is small and basic. Enjoyed the complimentary breakfast buffet which had a wide array of both Korean and Continental food and beverage options - impressive. The room is small, especially with three large suitcases to accommodate, however we made the most of it by lining up the suitcase on top of tables and chairs. Room is clean. Wet room spacious with bidet toilet. Vanity and sink were outside the wet room - full size shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and hand wash. Complimentary water and instant coffee and tea with electric hot water pot. Beds were comfortable. Daily room service available upon request. Temperature of the room was hot. AC could not be turned on during the cold weather. Windows could not be opened. We turned the heater off, and the staff provided a portable fan which made our stay more pleasant and comfortable.
