SkyBay Hotel was great! It's changed it a lot over the past couple years. They have automated check-in now and the selection of cafes and shops in the lobby are very convenient and and open till late. The arcade is tons of fun! Visitors have the option of using the Infiniti pool and sauna for an additional fee.
The staff is helpful, and the room is clean and comfortable. However, in winter you are unable to adjust the temperature of your room. The views are incredible from skyBay Hotel. No wonder they pick this location for the drama business proposal!
We had a great time!
I have stayed here before to hike Seoraksan. This time, I had a nicer room; however, because it is near the mountains and older, there was a huge house centipede on the ceiling when I got there. Luckily, the bug spray they had worked on it. Other than that, there were some small stains on the bedding, but everything else was clean. The bed was comfortable, and the location is about 55 minutes walking distance from Seoraksan National Park. It's only about an 8 minute taxi drive there if not too much traffic. There is a beautiful river/stream nearby. This place is also only about a 16 minute drive from the Sokcho Express Bus Terminal. Obviously, I like this place enough to stay again. Breakfast was toast, cereal, and you could make eggs/a toast sandwich I believe.
Nice hotel well situated by the night market, Abai Village and Rodeo Drive. Easy to walk around and explore. The rooms was well kept with no issues. Only downside was lack of parking. They will try to accommodate you so you won't be stuck, but was inconvenient.
The Sun Cruise Hotel is my top choice. This is my second time visiting and staying here. The hotel has a great beach view, and you can watch both sunset and sunrise. Location-wise, it's excellent – just 10 minutes from Jeongdongjin Station. It's a great place to relax and escape the hustle of Seoul city life 👍.
However, the service at the front desk was a bit disappointing. I understand there may be language barriers, and I used Papago translation to communicate in Korean, but they still seemed unw welcoming to us as foreigners. They simply answered ”no” to my question without offering alternative suggestions. As front desk staff, they should provide other options or suggestions to hotel guests instead of just saying ”no” and ending the conversation.
Excellent location (I mean EXCELLENT) as it's 5 min away from the entrance of the park. It is easy to get to by bus no 7/7-1 and by taxi. The hotel looks a bit old from the outside but it is tastefully decorated on the inside and they keep very well in line with the English theme.
The rooms are clean and spacious, with very nice views. They have a nice space to put things away and a small fridge. Our shower unfortunately wasn't sealed from the shower door so we ended up with water in the whole bathroom (difficult to control with a 6'4 partner).
It has in house laundry and a small grocery shop that saved us one day it was raining too much to head back to the restaurant area.
Really recommend if you're visiting the park (or Sokcho as it's also 15-20 min away by bus). Very friendly staff.
My wife and I came here to go snowboarding.
It's an older condo, but it's clean and comfortable, and we had a comfortable stay.
It was a bit noisy and banging during the university orientation period, but
we were so slept like we were passed out after snowboarding all day that I didn't notice it.
The room rates seem reasonable during the off-season.
It appears to be newly renovated with work still being completed beyond the lobby. Everything was clean and the room was in great shape. Only downside was no bed. They had futon for us to sleep on, which is normally not too bad, but the floor was not designed for it and the futon was thin, so didn't make for a comfortable rest. Can't help but to think they didn't have enough beds for their opening...
Nice room, the two room suite is very spacious with a reasonable price. The only downside is you have to pay 20000won per hour for early check in. Also the kids playroom is very dirty.
Heater was too hot. There’s no temperature control. We had to leave the balcony door open, but then it was too cold. So it’s hard to sleep well.
Curtain is too thin, it didn’t block the sunshine at all.
One thing is really good, that’s the shuttle bus service. The driver was really friendly and helpful.
No tea bags or coffee sachets provided, which is a bit weird. Water pressure for shower is way too weak. No room cleaning services, leaving alone having your new towels put outside your room in the morning. Only 4 lifts serving way too many hotel stayers, resulting in long waiting lines and thus, time. Views are magnificient however. The room is so massive and the balconies are spacious.
Very Good

EEEErikaaaTraveling with a 2-year-old child
It was nice that there was a children's playground, an indoor pool, and a large hot spring bath. The child was very satisfied.
The dinner buffet had delicious snow crab and sashimi.
There were various activities on site, as well as a convenience store, restaurant, and cafe, so we could enjoy ourselves all day at the resort.
About 20 cm of snow fell in the middle of the night, but the staff worked hard to shovel it away, which was great.
There were mats laid in the pool to prevent slipping, but they were not all over the place, so the tiled parts were slippery, so please be careful if you have small children.
I asked for bed guards when I checked in, but they never came to install them.

GGuest UserWould like to commend front desk staff Jason for personally attending to our check-in. He had painstakingly showed us to our Block B apartment room helping to also push 1 of our bags. As the room did not provide us with a sunrise view, had requested for a room change for the 2nd night and Jason himself again personally came to help us with the room transfer movement. His good english was a also pleasant surprise.as also his charming attitude and smiling look. The resort should cherish such young & kind-hearted staff. Kudos to him!
Also, there was a manager (unfortunately could not remember his name who had a christian name to his name tag and slightly burly sized) @ the indoor pool/spa reception who should be praised for also taking the trouble to allow us entry (though we did not book any slot) on our check out day for us to take some photo pics for remembrance. He actually helped us take our couple shot, took the time to showcase us the nice indoor pool and its magnificent balcony view before accompanying us out and showing us the way to the beach. Thank you kind sir!
The fantastic service we received from above 2 gentlemen is really testament to Shillamonogram's astute and comprehensive staff training especially with focus on customer satisfaction. Well done Shillamonogram. Will certainly recommend the resort for a wonderful staycation.
GGuest UserBrown Dot is a really clean, spacious, and convenient place to stay.
Our family of four came to Gangneung for the Lunar New Year holiday; the children stayed at Skybay Hotel for two nights, and my husband and I stayed here at Brown Dot for two nights.
Brown Dot was twice as good as Skybay Gyeongpo Hotel, which is more than twice as expensive.
My husband didn't hold back on his praise, saying the breakfast was delicious too.

RRemalinaThis place is a perfect place for those who want to stay close to the big beaches, but not on the big beach itself^^ The area is super quiet and the beach is a little bit deserted, but it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the central beach with all all the facilities. The owners met us with the drip coffee bags with a password, we didn’t really see them all this time, which is perfect for introverts too 🙌 We especially enjoyed our breakfasts outside at the terrace, and the food was exceptional, thank you so much for preparing those kimpabs and hot sandwiches 💛 They also had towels and you could use as many as you wanted (one towel per day I guess?) The only thing that was disappointing was the absence of the elevator (we had to carry our suitcases to the 4th floor), but it was the only inconvenience, so it did not really ruin the whole experience!! 🙌🥹👌 There weren’t that many people living on our floor, so it was not that noisy (maybe take some earplugs for the night tho?)
GGuest UserSt John's is a huge building which can't be missed. The service is outstanding (huge thanks to Matthew, you deserve a raise). The booking via bluepillow was faulty so Matthew did everything to make sure we didn't have any problems. We had the best room with spectacular view of the ocean. The beach is directly in front of the hotel and everything is spotless clean. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to come back.
GGuest UserExcellent stay. Better than expected. I was worried that it would be crowded at the lobby/ common areas due to proximity to ****** which was not a preference. The lobby of convention hotel is grand, peaceful and modern.
I was also worried that it would be inconvenient to reach the ski slopes however the shuttle buses were frequent and you can get to the slopes quickly. The bus stop drop off point is right outside the ticket office for ski passes
Hotel service was welcoming and superb from check in/out to housekeeping. As foreigners we received discount coupons for ski rental and pass. View from room was nice and loved the cream and shower gel etc. Room service was quick and portions are huge. Also how it was delivered was really good too with the robot.
Overall very good and comfortable stay.
GGuest UserLocation was about a 10minutes bus ride away from gangneung station and the bus terminal, but note that the hotel was a 5 minutes walk away from the bus stop. It's also about a 7 minutes walk to the market so there's plenty of food options.
Room was pretty clean apart from some dust at the seating area around the curtains. As the room is filled with big windows and my room is opposite a mall, it gets pretty hot and no privacy so the curtains have to be closed most of the time so that's a pity.
Service was good and they allowed me to check in early when I reached at 1230pm. Hotel feels safe and secure as the lift needed key access.
Amenities was great as there was toothbrush, conditioner, lotion, scrub, bathrobe, room slippers.
GGuest UserI was traveling alone as a woman, but I rested very well.
The location was good too
It was nice that they prepared coffee and bread as well.
It was a cozy and comfortable room :)
The bedding was comfortable too.
The owner is also friendly! It’s a place I want to stay again next time I go👍
