FengqingyundandeshushuThe hotel's hygiene is excellent, and the rooms are quite spacious, making it very family-friendly. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, and the main issue is that parking isn't free at the hotel's own lot. You have to park about a ten-minute walk away (though there's a hotel shuttle service). This is quite inconvenient when the weather is hot. Also, you absolutely cannot check in before 4:00 PM, so be aware of that if you're planning to go. The staff can come across as cold, lacking the usual warmth you'd expect from a theme park hotel. On the positive side, the park was not crowded, so there were hardly any queues, which made the kids happy, though the adults found it a bit boring 😌

annapiecesThis hotel is excellent, definitely book a sea-view room. You can hear the sound of the waves as soon as you open the door in the room, and it's soundproof when closed. In the morning, you can watch the sunrise from your balcony without even leaving the room. The hotel has its own convenience store and restaurant, and there are many restaurants, convenience stores, and mini-markets nearby, especially lively on weekend evenings. You don't need to deliberately visit attractions every day; just looking at the sea from your room, or going down to Gyeongpo Beach to stroll along the shore and relax, is incredibly therapeutic. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Gangneung.

Guest UserThe room and bathroom was clean and wide.
There was heating in the room, Netflix, amenities for comfortable stay.
As I saw, there is a free breakfast in the morning for the guests (except Mondays), so I couldn’t try it but I was absolutely satisfied with the room.

Anonymous UserI've traveled to Gangwon-do many times, but this was my first time staying in Gangneung... I chose Hound Hotel because of the excellent reviews.
It was a great choice. The staff, including the manager, were very friendly. We had a twin terrace room with a direct sea view, and I especially liked how clean the bedding felt. The hotel is right in front of the beach, perfect for a stroll, and the terrace even has a bench. Among hotels in Gangneung, it offers great value for money. The breakfast was also very good for the price; it consisted of only worthwhile dishes, and they tasted excellent.
The hotel's interior, both in the rooms and the lobby, is beautifully designed.
We thought we'd have to drive to a restaurant for dinner, so we just had simple convenience store sandwiches. However, we later found out there's a ramen restaurant nearby before getting to the hotel. If I stay in Gangneung again, I'd definitely like to go back.

Guest UserI brought my kids for a vacation and spent a long time choosing this resort! The environment is beautiful! It was Mid-Autumn Festival, so it was crowded and expensive! But the experience was really great! After getting off the express bus, it took half an hour by taxi, costing around 31,000 KRW. They provide bath towels and regular towels, but no toothbrushes or slippers. In the fridge, there was one energy drink, one Coke, and two bottles of water. If you finish the water, you have to refill it yourself at the elevator. You can also buy more! The resort has two front desks, and both have beautiful views!

Our second stay over 4 nights during the cherry blossom spring festival. As before, the English-speaking reception staff was welcoming and met our room request as return guests upon check-in. We had a higher floor unit, just as clean but with some wear and tear in bathroom fixtures. Although Spring is warmer, the central system is still set to heating instead of cooling, so we left the balcony door open most of the time to prevent the nights from being stuffy. The sunrise and coastal views were just as magical with more clouds. This time, we enjoyed the indoor spa pools and outdoor pool, as well as the buffet breakfast with fresh and nourishing regional Korean and international ingredients. We liked that there is a GS25, patisserie, wine store, retail shop library, laundry room, gym, and stylish eateries in the Monogram complex. One unpleasant incident marred our stay, however. Our clear ziplock bag of medicinal tea and beverage satchets packed from home went missing from the coffee counter on the 4th day (the last photo shows where we had placed it). We suspected housekeeping staff might have accidentally thrown out this personal item during room cleaning while we were out that day. We contacted the housekeeping and front desk, but it was not resolved beyond a promise to search/investigate, and later a denial that they had touched our personal items. We were not planning to pursue the matter, but we would have appreciated more initiative or efforts to lessen our distress (the medicinal tea for our digestive health problems was crucial for our travels). Will we be back again? Probably, but this incident has made us realise that in this aspect, the Shilla team still needs to work harder to meet the 5-star hospitality standards it promises to Korean and international travellers.

The location is a bit out of the way, quite far from the beach. Some details in the room's cleanliness weren't great; for example, the door leading to the bathroom was surprisingly dusty... The only impressive amenity was a self-contained dryer, but it could only hang 3 items at a time. Simple breakfast is offered in the morning, including rice, side dishes, and seaweed soup. You can fry your own eggs, and there's also a machine where you can buy instant noodles, but it doesn't accept cash or Visa.

Guest UserNice place to stay. Very close to Mona Yongpyong Ski Resort. Nice view. Ample parking space. Spacious Room. Ondol room can fit 6 people. Kitchenette provided for cooking. There was an issue with our toilet where the toilet bowl is clogged. When we contact the front desk, they promptly send a staff to fix the toilet. Everything is perfect and we enjoy our stay at Tower Condominium.

Anonymous UserThe staff were lovely - very good English and helpful with questions. The location was good - right by the express bus station (for buses from Seoul), right by the bus stop for the 7-1/7 (bus into the park) and near a bunch of lovely restaurants. We added on breakfast at the hotel (15000 krw pppn) and this was a mix of western food (cereal, toast, spaghetti, chips) and Korean (bulgogi, sausages, soup, mixed vegetables and side dishes). The rooms themselves were spacious, the shower powerful, a nice view - and weirdly there was an induction hob but no pans. There was a microwave near reception which we could use and the hotel allowed us to receive food deliveries if we wanted. We also used the laundry service in the basement, lots of different options to choose from and detergent provided. Overall, a good stay and very good for the price.
