Hotels With Gym in Gangwon State, South Korea

I frequently travel to Gangwon-do and have had the opportunity to stay at numerous accommodations there. Daepho Port is a bit removed from Sokcho city center, so I usually overlooked it, but I finally decided to try it out for the first time this August. The rooms are well-maintained. A significant plus is the abundance of restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the area quite enjoyable. Typically, hotels in such regions are isolated, limiting guests to on-site facilities or a convenience store unless they drive out. The Ramada, however, boasts many nearby dining options. While the price felt a bit high, as is common in tourist areas, simply walking around and exploring provided enough enjoyment that we didn't feel the need to dine out every time. The presence of Cassia Hotel next door ensures decent foot traffic, and the surroundings feel lively and well-lit, even at night. The room itself is a standard hotel room, well-equipped with a fast charger and plenty of power outlets. Reusable indoor slippers are also provided. I enjoyed my stay so much in August that I returned again this month. Last time, I had a Daepho Port view, and this time I was allocated a partial view facing Lotte Resort. While both were decent, the Lotte Resort view felt a bit obstructed and less open due to the Cassia Hotel partially blocking the line of sight. The Daepho Port view definitely felt more expansive. A minor inconvenience is the extremely narrow ramp leading up to the parking lot, requiring careful driving. The mini-fridge is quite small, and its cooling performance was a bit underwhelming. Additionally, the table is quite low, so you have to hunch over a bit if you're enjoying some 'chimaek' (chicken and beer) in the room. Aside from these minor points, everything else was great, and I definitely plan to stay here again on my next visit.

This was a very pleasant place to stay before and after a hike in Seoraksan National Park. Lovely view from the balcony. Very clean and comfortable, and helpful staff! Very convenient location. The local bus to the national park is right across the street from the hotel, and the hotel is 10 minutes walk from the express bus terminal. I was pleasantly surprised by a washing machine in the room, which was great to clean my muddy clothes after my hike (you'll need your own laundry detergent). The room had a kitchenette with sink, hot plate, and full-size refrigerator and freezer. The only problem is there was no pot or pan to use on the hot plate, so I could not actually use it to warm my food (unless I would travel with my own pot)! It would be nice if the room provided a hair dryer and if the hotel had some breakfast option. The cafe downstairs offers only drinks, not food, and doesn't open until 11 a.m. The entryway light is motion activated, and there are many electronic buttons and panels around the room that emit light, so if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, you will have to cover your eyes with a sleep mask. Also note that it you close the sliding door between the bed and living area while the air conditioning is on, it will prevent the cold air from reaching the part of the room where the thermostat is located, so the air conditioner will remain on indefinitely, and the sleeping area will get very cold. The various panels for lights and temperature were a bit difficult to understand. English labels would be helpful. But the receptionist was helpful and came up to my room to show me how to use the air conditioning. The USB port on the nightstand worked some of the time and sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out if there was a switch or setting somewhere in the room to make it work, or if it was just malfunctioning.

The hotel felt really upscale, a true sea-view room. Downstairs, there's a seafood street, and you can even set off fireworks on the beach – it's incredibly romantic, with half sea and half lake. The only downside was the hotel's swimming pool; the indoor one wasn't heated, so it was freezing when I got in. The outdoor hot spring pools were too crowded. Everything else was great.

It took over 2 hours by direct bus from Hongdae subway station to get here. The hotel is located right inside the ski resort. However, even if you arrive early, you still have to wait until 3:00 PM to check in. The front desk won't proactively tell you about the discounts available with your room card for ski passes, hot springs, and many other activities unless you ask. That said, the room was spacious enough and offered excellent views of the ski slopes. The lobby also has a free storage room for guests to keep their ski equipment and take a short break.

The hotel is grand and there are four towers, with adequate facilities and friendly staff, the hotel is very comfortable and I would like to live here again in foreseeable future!

The condition of the convention tower room was good. The snowy scenery was also very nice. There were many places to go and things to do for a vacation, so it was good. The water park, swimming pool, sauna, Unamjeong, *** (Kangwon Land), gondola, skiing, sledding, etc. were spread out, so it wasn't too crowded even though it was a holiday, which was even better. ㅎㅎ I'm even more satisfied because there's something for everyone, from children to adults. It's a bit far to get there, but it's definitely a vacation, so I'd like to visit again^^

Like a new hotel, the room facilities were satisfactory. There was a table in the room, so it was good to eat the food I bought, and it was good that the bathtub, shower and toilet were separated. The bedding was comfortable and ok. However, the water leaked little by little to see if there was any hose in the bathroom, so I had to repair it in the middle. At the beginning, it was not good because of the strange smell in the bathroom, but it was adapted quickly. The location is close to Sokcho, so it is good to go to the market. - Uh-huh. I went to check in at 3 o'clock, but there was no preparation for the crowding of users at that time, so I had to wait for check-in for more than an hour and a half. There is no early check-in option, and I had to register on the tablet and wait in the lobby without a slap. There was no place to store my luggage during that time. I split the time and traveled comfortably, but I was thrown away more than an hour and a half like this, and the schedule was twisted and unpleasant. - Uh-huh. The rooftop infinity pool was under 1 + 1 promotion, so I used it. It was a heated pool, so it was available despite the cold weather. However, I was embarrassed because there was no prior guidance on whether towels were provided separately or whether they should be brought from the room if they were not provided. I originally provided towels, but I had to go back to the room after I inquired directly that they had to be brought by themselves because they all fell off. - Uh-huh. The view is an ocean view, but it doesn't feel like there is a sea right in front of you, but it's just like seeing it at the end. It's not bad. - Uh-huh. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory and good, but it was a hotel that was not yet systematicly prepared to meet guests. The staff were friendly, but each part felt that organic communication was not good, and all the inconveniences caused by it had to be handled by the guests. I think you should think about it and decide to stay.

I had a very comfortable stay for three nights in Gangneung, thanks to how clean and well-maintained the accommodation was. The breakfast was fairly simple, but more than enough to start the day, and I especially appreciated the sense of space, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable. Getting around was easy whether by bus or taxi, and the location made it convenient to visit nearby attractions like Ojukheon and Jungang Market. For those travelling by car, the spacious parking area is definitely a big plus. There’s also a lovely pine forest path just behind the property, perfect for a quiet stroll. The ocean view from the room really added to the holiday atmosphere, and being able to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset was one of the highlights of staying at Shilla Monogram.

The check-in experience was disappointing. The front desk receptionist was rude, unfriendly, and impatient. As tourists who are not familiar with public transport online ticketing, we needed assistance, but the staff was not helpful. Better customer service and support for international guests are needed.

I used to always stay at the same hotel whenever I visited Sokcho, but this time I decided to try Homemarina Hotel. To cut to the chase, I was extremely satisfied! The overall facility management was great, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. The bathroom, in particular, was impressive – the best I've encountered in any hotel so far. The water pressure was stable, and the hairdryer performed well, so there were absolutely no minor inconveniences. If I come back to Sokcho, this will be my hotel of choice again.
