Pension Venezia in Samcheok

We had booked a room with a normal double bed, since we do not enjoy too hard sleeping arrangements. But when arriving there was a problem, and we were instead given a Korean style ondol room. It had a kitchen area, separate toilet and shower and a sleepingroom. Both living room and sleeping room were bare, with no place to relax except a kitchen table with chairs or the thin duvet type mattresses. Fortunately there were bedding for 5, so we stacked mattresses and the extra duvets, but it was still nowhere as comfortable as a normal bed. The hotel is located at a cliff, in a row of ‘pensions’, and this one was not the nicest, with simple bench tables on the front terrazes, we saw the neighbors had hammocks and nicer tables. But it was ok enough to sit out there, and we saw others making picnic out there, and grills could also be borrowed. The pool was empty. On the positive side the staff were friendly. There was a simple shop on the basement floor and tabletennis that could be borrowed for free.
