1. Introducing a Daegu Hotel for Solo Walking Travelers

Recently, I enjoyed a trip to Daegu, where I met up with my brother's family. As someone living in Jeju, I often adjust my flight schedule to snag good deals, which means I ended up enjoying some solo travel around Daegu city before and after my family trip.
While searching for a budget-friendly place to stay in Daegu's Dongseongro, which is right in the heart of my walking travel itinerary, I discovered Toyoko Inn Hotel Dongseongro. It's a popular Japanese hotel chain with locations all over Korea, so it's usually quite difficult to snag a reservation.

Luckily, there was a vacancy, so I was able to book Toyoko Inn, a Daegu accommodation in a safe location perfect for solo female travelers, offering cleanliness, great value for money, and even a substantial breakfast provided for free.
While reservations are also possible on the official website, I don't visit Toyoko Inn often enough to fully utilize their official site benefits, so I booked through Agoda at a discounted price.
It's a page where you can compare prices with other good value-for-money hotels in the vicinity and even proceed with booking, so I recommend checking it carefully to find the hotel you're looking for.
2. Toyoko Inn Daegu Accommodation: Location & Parking


What I consider important for solo female travel are accessibility to major tourist attractions, a safe location, and value for money. Although it's a 2-star hotel, its location is excellent: just a 2-3 minute walk from Banwoldang Station Exit 13, and about a 5-minute walk from Jungangno Station Exit 2.

For walking travelers, it's hard to imagine a better location than this.

Not only is it located in Daegu's Dongseongro, an area densely packed with countless popular eateries, but Seomun Market and The Hyundai Department Store are also within walking distance, allowing you to easily plan a schedule encompassing both outdoor and indoor attractions.

For those arriving by car, parking is available.
The parking lot is located in the building's basement. The parking fee is ~$3 per night, available from 2 PM on the day of arrival until 11 AM the next day. Please note that additional charges are ~$1 for the first 30 minutes, and ~$1 for every 15 minutes thereafter.

There's also a separate, dedicated elevator from the building to Toyoko Inn.
You'll find the front desk on the 7th floor.

Plus, they offer luggage storage for guests,

And on the same floor, there are laundry facilities
available for use.

Right next to the front desk, there's a shared lounge area,
complete with a TV viewing space.
They even provide laptops and printers for guests!
The breakfast restaurant was surprisingly spacious, and outside of breakfast hours,
it doubles as a cozy retreat where guests can relax and
enjoy some tea.
3. Room Comfort and Breakfast

I opted for a single non-smoking room.
It's a cozy 12m² space featuring a comfy queen bed and a desk.
I snagged it for just ~$40, including breakfast,
for a weekday stay!
Honestly, I doubt you'll find another hotel this clean,
with such fantastic value, and in such a prime location in
downtown Daegu.
Stepping into the room, I was immediately struck by that compact yet
impeccably clean, cozy feeling typical of Japanese-style
business hotels.

The queen-size bed boasts a firm mattress, and the bedding felt so
crisp and fresh! Even though the room is on the smaller side, it's absolutely perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring on foot and getting a fantastic night's sleep – truly a clean and comfortable hotel in Daegu.


Beside the bed, I found a surprisingly spacious desk with a mirror,
and a lamp – perfect for getting some work done on my laptop or
using it as a vanity in the mornings.
A mini-safe and a refrigerator were also provided,
along with complimentary bottled water, thoughtfully supplied for the number of guests.


The bathroom, while compact, features a typical unit bath layout and was
absolutely spotless. The deep bathtub is a real bonus, perfect for soaking away any travel fatigue with a relaxing half-bath during your Daegu adventure!

There's even a handy clothesline above the bathtub for drying small items.
As for amenities, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were all provided in
convenient, refillable dispenser bottles,


True to its Japanese brand roots,
they offer soft, fluffy cotton gowns at the front desk.
It was such a relief not to have to pack my own pajamas –
super convenient!
Combs, soap, and toner were also conveniently available at the 7th-floor front desk,
so you could grab whatever you needed –
a really thoughtful touch!

If you needed any extra toiletries or snacks,
you could easily grab them from the vending machines.
They even sold alcoholic beverages and snacks at really reasonable prices!
For example, a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste set was ~$1,
while a reusable one was ~$2 – definitely better value than what you'd find at a convenience store.

The breakfast restaurant is conveniently located directly opposite the 7th-floor front desk,
Just a heads-up, the operating hours are a bit on the shorter side, from 7:00 AM to 9:15 AM.
After a super comfortable stay, I enjoyed a hearty, Korean-style breakfast before
meeting up with my family. It was the perfect way to fuel up and
energize myself for another day of exploring on foot!

This Daegu accommodation truly impressed with its diverse breakfast, featuring not only refreshing salads and hearty Korean dishes but also comforting soup and fresh bread! It's an absolute gem for solo female adventurers like myself, offering incredible value, and with various room sizes, it’s also wonderfully suited for family getaways with kids.
