Hotels With Spa in Gangwon State, South Korea

Decent and nice hotel. Caters to many couples and families who bring along their pet dogs etc. Seen like this is their specialty. Only thing we found strange was that they charge a hefty fee to use the swimming pool, even for hotel guests. The air conditioning also appears less than ideal, being fixed in terms of the temp setting. You cannot change or adjust it- which is not good

It’s clean and cost-effective!! The amenities are good, and if you book a standard room for a family of three, you can sleep comfortably. The hotel's play facilities are well-equipped, including game consoles, Kono VR, 4-ball pocket balls, etc., and there is also a playground where infants and toddlers can spend time. Thanks to you, I am leaving behind good memories.

Very nice and clean modern facility, comfortable bed and convenient location with much to offer. The staff are very helpful even with the language barrier but they do their best to assist and help with finding stuff around town. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. I was here during the wildfire and strong winds and hotel staff put the patrons safety above all else and assist. Highly recommend this hotel for a safe enjoyable stay

At first I thought the property was in Gangneun city. It's not! You have to take a train (only 10-20 minutes) to Jongdongjin. But do it because truly the resort is simply amazing.

This is a clean and modern accommodation. Recommended if you like neatness. I stayed in a partial view room, and from the open terrace, there was a sea view to the left, a port and beach view to the front, and a view of Seorak Mountain to the right. It was cool to see various views at once. You can also see the Yeongnang Lake view in the opposite direction. I was assigned a room on a high floor and felt dizzy at first, but once I got used to it, it was okay. Great value for money

overall experience was decent, the location is the best part about this hotel. it was fairly crowded even on a weekday. the check in process was fine and the room quality overall was decent. the room and bathroom felt like it could need a deep cleaning. there is a infinity pool on the 20th floor and it was worthwhile, but they charge you an extra fee of ₩30,000 (masks mandatory). the breakfast buffet was a little disappointing, the majority of the food felt like it was low grade, and service was menial. the most disappointing part was the late night snack i chose to order from the BHC chicken place on the first floor. its crispy but there was literally so little meat, i was just eating the fried skin.. maybe because i went near closing time they gave me a bad batch, but overall super disappointing for the over marked price. there is also a small convenience store that stay open till 12am.

I went on a family trip with four people, including two kids and my wife. The hotel is right next to Gyeongpo Lake. It's close to the sea, great for walking around the lake, and the location is great. Perhaps because the facility is a new building, the room still smells like you would when you moved into a new house. And although I expected it, the room was narrower than it showed in the picture. However, considering the size of a typical hotel room, It's a duplex, so it's wide open, so it's less stuffy or stuff like that. However, the slope of the railing going up to the duplex is a bit high. It can be dangerous to go with very young children. At least a duplex unless your child is in elementary school or older. I would not recommend it if children are concerned about falling. The reason I gave the facility 3 out of 5 is because the railing height is too high and This is because the size of the indoor parking lot is too small. Of course, I was informed that I could use a public parking lot nearby. I parked there, but I have to endure some inconvenience. Other than this, the location and facilities are very good. The rooftop view is especially nice. I think it would have been nice if there was a cafe here so you could have a quick coffee or something. I received friendly guidance when checking in. The service is not directly related to the staff and service. I'm not sure if it's very good or bad. At the level of just going for a trip and sleeping, not a hotel stay. If you're looking for a clean hotel, it doesn't seem like a bad choice.

I didn't expect much for old harbor town accommodation, but it was wrong, rather best choice. 오래된 항구도시 호텔이라서 별로 기대 안했는데, 너무 좋았어요 The facilities, building itself, room are sophisticated, simple but clean and tidy. Cool air condtioned every where, in the lobby the cafe was wide and comfy, convenience store is located. 건물이나 시설이 전반적으로 세련되고 심플하지만 깨끗하고 잘 정리되어 있었어요. I booked a half-ocean view, and a little bit worried about the view, 'cause it was 'half' view, but it was needless worry. The view on 19 floor was fantastic. You can overlook the beautiful twin bridge in red and blue, the ocean and the port nearby. And the location was the best, you can visit famous tour site just on foot, the Central market, fish market, Abai soondae town, famous Hamheung naengmyun restaurant, and so on. 특히 위치가 너무 좋아요 속초 중앙시장, 회센터, 아바이 순대타운, 함흥냉면집 등등 걸어서 다 돌아다닐 수 있어서 너무 좋았어요. The only inconvenience was the elevators which need more capacity, they got only 3 lines. Parking lot was enough with 4stories underground. For general I strongly recommend, wanna visit again.

I stayed outthere for one night. The location is perfect for us to take a walk along seaside and gain quick access to seafood restaurants also with 30min driving distance to Shokcho Central Market. Room is clean and they offered room upgrade for free as well. I’m willing to revist there next time.

Why I chose this hotel at Sokcho : The sea view from rooms The wide range of room options The Lotte hotel chain I already know The amenities and services on site. We (2 people) booked a superior suite with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an incredible view on the sea. It’s the perfect place to stay to recover from a very nasty jet lag. We slept very well, enjoying each of us our own bed and room. Maybe it was the best view I ever had lying on my bed. The hotel is huge and comes with many amenities, which are well described on the website. In October the water park is closed and the hotel is pretty quiet, which is exactly what I was expecting. I personally would not come here during busy Summer holidays. The staff is very friendly and speaks enough English for helping you to book a taxi. I was happy to be told that they don’t charge any longer a deposit on your credit card, which takes then weeks to be cleared out. Instead they charge the total amount due for your stay at check-in, which I find more convenient. From the hotel (located on a hill), you can walk (along the sea) either on the left to the long sand beach, or to the right to the port, where you will find many seafood restaurants. We ate one evening at one of the hotel restaurants (Natural Soul Kitchen). The food was delicious, refreshing and healthy. To reach the hotel, we took the bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Gyeonbu Yeongdong Line, next to Gangnam area). It takes around 2.5 hours. The bus departing from this terminal arrives at Sokcho EXPRESS Bus Terminal, which is close to Sokcho beach and closer to the Lotte resort. Be aware that there are 2 bus terminals in Seoul from where you can reach Sokcho. At Sokcho, there is another bus terminal further north (Sokcho INTERCITY Bus Terminal). Make sure that you depart from the same terminal where you arrived if you have return tickets. We didn’t manage to buy the bus tickets online. Apparently you need a credit card issued in SKorea to be able to process the payment. So we had to go directly to the bus terminal to buy our tickets. If you want premium seats buy them several days in advance. Even if your main interest is hiking in Seoraksan National Park, I think this hotel is the perfect « base camp », as in the morning you will wake up with this beautiful sea view and at night you will fall asleep with the sound of lapping waves. I will come back for sure. The hotel, the sea, the mountains,... I didn't expect to feel so well and so energized there.

Amazing view from the room over the sea and pines, responsive staff members, very comfortable bed and overall cleaness. Anmok Beach with a lot of coffee roasteries is few minutes away. Thank you for making our trip to South Korea more memorable🌸

The family room has one large bed and two small beds. The surrounding area is very lively and very close to the Central Market. Traveling is very convenient. There are many buses to Gangneung Station, and there are also routes to Tofu Village, Gyeongpo Beach and other attractions. However, as the number of buses decreases, you need to watch the time carefully. Gangneung is a quiet seaside town, very suitable for tourism.

Advantages 1. The ocean view is amazing 2. It was nice that there were many towels 3. There were three rooms, so one person slept in each room. 4. It felt like a small apartment and was comfortable (I was seriously considering a long-term stay) 5. Since it was a series of nights, I came in midway after finishing my schedule and wanted to rest for a while, but it was nice that the mess that had been made in the morning was neatly organized. 6. I really like the wooden floor. 7. The refrigerator is very cool (I put a not-so-cold beer in it, and less than 30 minutes have passed, and the beer is very cold) 8. Because it is a double curtain, you can sleep with only the curtain you want (the floor is high, so you don’t have to have a blackout curtain) 9. There was a balcony, so I brought a chair to the balcony to watch the sunrise (very good). disadvantage 1. The towel smells like bleach (it goes away after a while) 2. It seems like the sink and bathtub were not cleaned well (it was rough, so I scrubbed it with my hand and the dirt came out). 3. Elevator... Too late ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It's on the 27th floor, so it takes a long time to wait. 4. The parking lot is at the back, but the ledge at the entrance is a little high and low, so you have to exit slowly. 5. There is not enough parking space compared to the number of rooms. conclusion, I am willing to visit again, but it would be great if the bathtub and sink were cleaned and the towels were cleaned... if only the bleach smell would go away.

It's so good... I just... really like it... Actually, it was a place I'd wanted to visit for a long time because it was cheap. But I don't have a car, and unlike Gangneung, I didn't think there was much to see in Jeongdongjin, so I wasn't willing to go there. This time, let’s just stay in the hotel and do nothing with my family for complete healing! And I chose this place. The actual hotel has a hot spring, the rooms are spacious, clean, and have a good view, and the restaurant has all kinds of really delicious food, so you can have a pleasant vacation just by staying in the hotel. I didn't know many people in the past, but when I went this time, there was a lot of line at check-in. It would be nice if it wasn't known, but it's true that it was really good, so I'm leaving this review.

We are a family that loves to travel. I checked in late at night and was worried that there would be no parking space, but there was ample parking space at the back of the building. I think they expanded it. It was nice that the room was warm, but when I slept, I realized that it was central heating without a thermostat. It was hot like a sauna all night~^^; I think 25-26 degrees would be appropriate. It was really clean without any dust. I'm sensitive to noise, but I could only hear the sound of waves and couldn't feel any noise between floors. This is also the reason why I chose Brown Dot. I think this is really good because they want to receive feedback on whether there are any inconveniences while checking out. I was especially impressed by the general manager who was so kind and considerate in every word he said. I had a good rest. It was my first trip to Gangneung and it was a pleasant accommodation 🙂 Everyone… . Don't worry, just go here... .

This is a clean and modern accommodation. Recommended if you like neatness. I stayed in a partial view room, and from the open terrace, there was a sea view to the left, a port and beach view to the front, and a view of Seorak Mountain to the right.

Sokcho is not a big city, so the location was good for going to and from tourist attractions. Bedding, TV, and room conditions were very comfortable, perhaps because it had just opened. It was inconvenient to have the room cleaned for more than 3 nights... But when I went out for the 2nd night, I was embarrassed to find that it had been cleaned haha. I didn't know who would come in and my luggage was all over the place haha. Towels, water, etc. were provided immediately when I told the desk. My phone broke down during my 4-night stay and I had to go to the desk to get it fixed. And I was assigned the 2nd floor, but I couldn't use the stairs, so it was hard to wait for the elevator. It was a 4-night stay that seemed comfortable but had many inconveniences.

Great location with many seafood restaurants nearby and also a couple of nice cafes to chill with a good view. It’s better to take a taxi when coming from the bus terminal with luggages. There are buses that take to the downtown area as well. Room is clean and convenient with its amenities plus there is a washer and dryer in the room. Check in was easy with instructions although there is a need to follow the 4pm check in time and 11am check out time. No daily housekeeping unless stay is 3 nights or more. Overall it was a great stay! Well-recommended.

The location is perfect!!!! They don’t clean the room and you have to take out your trash by yourself. There are a lot of bugs in the bathroom. The room is huge and it has a well equipped kitchen! There are no body towels

We stayed one night on the 23rd floor. When choosing your first accommodation, walk to Sokcho Beach. Second, a place with a good electric vehicle charger. It was easy to move around with the kids, and I was satisfied with the sea view from the veranda. It's been a while since I went for healing and had a comfortable stay^^ The downside is the elevator that many people have mentioned, but we went on a weekday. I didn't wait that long

Was really looking forward to my stay at the Kensington Hotel Seorak. But when I pay $263AU / night I have a certain expectation that a 4 star hotel will live up to the hype. The service at the check-in desk and in the restaurant was excellent. The hotel itself exudes 'history' and it was interesting spending time looking at the library, hallways and various displays on offer. The menus were adequate for our stay and we spent 29000KRW on the chicken and beer offer on the first night and the steak and wine (120000KRW) on the second night. Breakfasts were 29000KRW/pp or 10% off if you book at check-in were also value for money. However several aspects let the hotel down. Hot water was hard to get - I tried for an afternoon shower and again at midnight with no luck. Larger hotels in Korea tend to have central control over the air conditioning, so if you like a cool room you'll be out of luck by October?? Even having the small window open, and turning of the 'air conditioning, the room was stuffy. Having found a laundry bag and order form I was told that the hotel no longer offered that service. Disappointing. The towels were worn / frayed on the edges (they've passed their useabe date) and though the hotel room we were in had a great view the windows were so grubby it was hard to really enjoy the view. While I appreciate COVID has had an impact on the hotel industry generally, I'm pretty certain that the Kensington, with its views and proximity to Seoraksan, faired better than most. While I would stay here again I would like to think that for prime pricing the Kensington could up its game and ensure that such small issues were addressed.

It was nice to be right in front of the sea, but it was disappointing that the floor level was low so I could see the Sonapu Forest in front rather than the sea. Because the maximum number of floors is low, you probably won't be able to see the sea. The Ferris wheel was visible up close and the atmosphere was refreshing at night. It was a pity that I couldn't cut and dry.

It’s clean and cost-effective!! The amenities are good, and if you book a standard room for a family of three, you can sleep comfortably. The hotel's play facilities are well-equipped, including game consoles, Kono VR, 4-ball pocket balls, etc., and there is also a playground where infants and toddlers can spend time. Thanks to you, I am leaving behind good memories.

It's not bad for an affordable price and being in the city center. The surrounding commercial districts are not bad, and it's about 10 minutes away from Legoland, so it's easy to get around.

Have fun~ It was nice that it had Netflix and the bed was big. The amenities were sufficient. It was also convenient to stop by a restaurant near Chuncheon Station. p.s. I made a reservation because they said there was only 1 room left and it was non-refundable, but it was absurd that in 2 hours it was cheaper by 20,000 won because there were 10 rooms left. Honestly, I felt a bit uncomfortable about this part.

Although the facilities seem a bit old, they feel like they are clean and well managed. There is a lot of parking space, it is convenient, and I felt like the elevator was a bit big. The bedding was very satisfying.

I went to Lego Land Korea Hotel and I had the most awesome time ever! It was like stepping into a Lego dream world! The hotel was super colorful and had huge Lego characters everywhere. I felt like I was inside a giant Lego set! The beds were so comfy and they had Lego-themed sheets and pillows. My room even had a treasure chest full of Lego bricks to play with! It was like having my own Lego playground! The best part was to get the treasure out of the safe you had to follow the map and the hints. We had all our meals at the hotel. They had a buffet with yummy food like pancakes, waffles, and lots of colorful fruits. And guess what? The plates and cups were all Lego-shaped which is pretty cool The staff was super friendly and helpful. They always had a smile on their faces and made me feel special. One of the best parts was that you get into the park early when you are staying at the hotel. We got a two day pass with one night hotel which was perfect. I would definitely recommend going here with our family. I can't wait to go back again! For some videos of my trip check out my profile with a link to my YouTube channel BazzyWorldReviews.

It was nice to have a bidet. There was an E-Mart 24 and a meat shop 5 minutes walk away, so it was good to eat snacks. However, please note that E-Mart 24 closes early.

The staff was very friendly and the facilities were clean. I can hear the sound of the water in the next room or the noise around the corridor.

It is very convenient as it is close to the central market and food in the middle of the city. It didn't smell like cigarettes, so I used it very comfortably. The bathtub was bigger than I expected, so it was very nice!!! It's such a great place for the price

Pros: -Landscape is nice. There's a nice garden outside you can walk around. Beautiful mountains surrounding the hotel. - Front desk staff was nice and helpful when I asked for help. -Outside of the hotel looks nice. - The cafe in the lobby had good pastries we ate for breakfast and the price was comparable to any other Korean bakery. Cons: - The inside of the hotel needs an update. - The lanolium floor in our bedroom was old and curling up on the side of the walls. -We were there May 29-30 and it was a bit warm so we tried to turn the AC but it seems the hotel might control it and it wouldn't come on. However, tt wasn't unbearable as there was a stand fan that we used in the room. - There was no shower curtain, so when you shower in the old tub, the water goes everywhere and it's slippery. Although they do have bathroom slippers, we don't really like to wear slippers that everyone else has their feet in. - The door was so old and there was a dent at the bottom that I could see the outside. - There is a sensor for the light by the door next to the bathroom so whenever you walk by it at night, it comes on and for light sleepers could wake them up. - We paid $85 with tax on agoda. com. This was listed as a 4 star hotel. I would say it's more like a motel on the inside. I don't think it's worth paying more than $50 here. - They had a breakfast buffet for W28,000 for adults. We didn't eat there as I was already not impressed with the hotel.

No one spoke much English, so we were unable to confirm the story that the former temple behind the hotel is one of the sites where the Japanese drove in iron spikes to destroy the power meridians of Korea. The impressive welcome arch at the top of the stairs perhaps helps to cancel any effect the disrupted meridians might have on guests. The hotel was built in 1962 and certainly reflects the characteristics of a 60s hotel, with very few power outlets and a can of bug spray on the dresser. The view is great, the breakfast mediocre.
