We stayed in Hotel Taegu (Daegu) during the 2011 World Athletics Championships. The hotel was under a lot of pressure from the organisers of the event to provide extra rooms at short notice, but Mr. Cho, the manager, was really good with us overseas visitors who had booked a long time in advance to attend the event. The hotel is very smart and has a steak restaurant where breakfast is served, a basement beer-hall-style restaurant, and a branch of Angel-in-us coffee shop by the reception. The staff were always helpful and friendly; although they don't all speak English they will always get someone on the telephone who does. Mr. Cho seemed to be never far away to help too. The hotel is 5 minutes walk from Duryu metro station, which is on the west side of the city and four stops from the central interchange. Rooms are air-conditioned and a decent size.

We had a great stay at Taegu Hotel. The rooms are comfortable and clean. The buffet breakfast provided a large choice of items - both Korean & Western. The staff were fantastic. They looked after us really well and made our stay in daegu a real pleasure.
