Hotel Wawa

The room was large, clean, and good value. It’s in one of Daegu’s busiest areas, so you can hang around late into the night.

The room felt roomy, and everything was clean. The staff were friendly, and the price was very affordable.

The owner was so kind, and the room was quiet and spacious. Parking was roomy too. Weekday rates were 50,000 won, Fridays cost 60,000 won, and Saturdays were 80,000 won. I got 5,000 won off on both a weekday and Friday. I really hope I can finally sleep tonight. I haven't slept for three days.

I paid 40,000 won through an online booking site. The room I got on the 6th floor was clean, though dated, and its small window didn't provide enough ventilation. The bathroom has only a shower. It looks like it was laid out for a bathtub originally, and there's plenty of space, but the tub seems to have been taken out during remodeling. The building has about 11 rooms per floor from the second to the sixth. Its hallways are very dark, with light coming only from the neon room numbers and doorbell buttons. It gave me a late-20th-century cyberpunk vibe. The elderly woman who owns the place was on the first floor and, when she realized I was traveling alone for work, gave me a room upstairs. I wouldn't choose this room for remote meetings. There's just a spotlight from the ceiling, and even with the window open, it isn't bright enough for video calls.
