The hotel boasts an excellent location and fantastic views. We were allocated a corner room with a great outlook. We arrived early, and the male receptionist informed us we could check in at 1 PM. However, upon returning after lunch, a different female staff member, who offered no smile, insisted check-in wasn't until 3 PM. We noticed other guests checking in, some even without a credit card, which felt inconsistent. After I had to complain, we were finally allowed to check in, but then they demanded a credit card for a security deposit. The attitude of the Korean front desk staff was very frustrating and made us feel extremely uncomfortable, almost discriminatory. Otherwise, everything else was fine, and we had a very enjoyable day.
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.
I went on a 2-day, 1-night trip with my spouse on the 22nd and 23rd.
The hotel condition was really good and there was nothing lacking for the two of us. In particular, Naksansa Temple, Beach Beach, and raw fish restaurants and restaurants were nearby, so it was nice to be able to move around without a car.
The deck path along Beach Beach was well-maintained, so I was able to see the enchanting sunrise while taking a walk in the morning, which was so happy.
I want to visit again next time.^^
We checked in a couple of hours after 6:00pm and there were no check in lines at all, the check in and check out process was very smooth and efficient. The room was clean, with great views of both the shops and restaurants below, and the partial ocean view was nice as well. The hotel had a convenience store on the 5th floor which we visited frequently. My family and I enjoyed the Ramada by Wyndham Gangwon Sokcho and will be returning soon,
The location of the hotel was fantastic as it’s just next to the ski slopes. The hotel breakfast was good and the variety for the Korean dishes changes daily. There are a number of restaurants and convenience stores that are 5 mins away. The rooms are spacious and was comfortable to stay. The rooms may look dated but it’s very well maintained. The hotel staff were also able to converse in good English and checking in was easy. Would recommend this hotel for ski trips at alpensia.
Hotel has everything there, no need to go out. The B1 floor are restaurants, CU and karaoke. B2 is spa. You can rent skiing gear and skis from them cheaper than at the YoungPyong and they provide shuttle bus to the hotel from KTX and bus stop and to resorts! I didn’t find this information anywhere before coming there sadly!
Waking up to the sight of the sea was both relaxing and refreshing. The cleanliness of the room and the entire hotel was very well-maintained .
However, there are some areas that could use improvement. The amenities were quite limited. Toiletries weren’t provided, which was fine, but having them would have made the stay more convenient. Also, access to the pool, sauna, and gym required a separate payment, which was a bit disappointing given that many hotels usually include those facilities.
The breakfast was enjoyable, though it came at an additional cost. It was good, but nothing particularly special.
Overall, the best part of this hotel is the beautiful view and the friendly, helpful service from the staff. If you're looking for a clean place with a great view and don’t mind paying extra for amenities, this could be a decent choice.
Nice new hotel, we enjoyed our spacious room and staff are nice. However, we were disappointed and surprised when told upon check in that there is a fee to use the pool. We haven't stayed anywhere with this rule, but that's ok. Anyway, we are happy to pay, given that we will not be using the pool daily. Then another shock when found out how much they charge for using the pool! Would have given 5 stars for service and amenities otherwise.
The room is very spacious and clean! We love the futon style and the mountain view. The Sono Tower C is very convenient and below are the food court and supermarket. However, there is no coin laundry available so we really need to plan our clothings and to use the hotel towels carefully. The heater in the room was very warm so we opened a small gap of the window and balcony door for better ventilation and cooler air. There is window net so we did not have to worry about any insects coming into the room. The toilet has a bidet with warm function so we really love it! All in all the room is great and pleasant to stay!
The accommodations were fantastic! The room was spacious and clean, and the ocean view was perfect!
The breakfast was delicious, too!
I'm so happy I visited, and I'll definitely be visiting this hotel again whenever I visit Gangneung.

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.

WWilsonicThe hotel is near the shuttle bus stop, which is good for checking in with snowboarding luggage. =]... Room is big enough to open both 29” luggage on the floor with floor heating (Definitely needed in winter). Location also very close to slopes and the cable car (in 5-8mins walking distance)...Recommended.
GGuest UserThe Sokcho Cassia Hotel, which we visited for our wedding anniversary trip, was located in Daepo Port, and we could see both the port and the sea from the veranda of the accommodation. It was on the 25th floor, and when we went in, there was a slight musty smell from the bathroom shower room, so we took off one star for cleanliness! The breakfast here was 66,000 won, which was expensive compared to other accommodations, so we had high expectations, but there weren't many options for the price. Weekends are divided into three parts, and you can choose on a first-come, first-served basis when you check in. I think the checkout time was 11:00, but we checked out right after 8:00 after the first part of the breakfast to avoid traffic.
GGuest UserFree shuttle bus services definitely help get around the resort with ease. Discount coupons for restaurants, facilities and rental equipments given upon check-in are great savings too. Would choose it again for future stays.

GGuest UserThe hotel has a great location right in front of Naksan Beach (a great beach - lots of white sand). There are restaurants and supermarkets close by and it is a quick taxi ride to the Yangyang airport and Yangyang bus depot.
Staff are efficient and helpful without being intrusive. The hotel seems to have been newly renovated and the rooms, passages and common areas are newly carpeted and newly painted. There is a small gym and laundry room available for use.
Most guests seemed to stay only one night which seemed strange, given the great location. The only thing that could be improved upon is some basic facilities in the room. There is no cupboard (although there is enough space for one), only one chair (and its fairly uncomfortable at that) and no furniture on the balcony - we really wanted to sit on the balcony and look at the sea in the evenings, but there is nothing to sit on.
At the time that we stayed there (October 2024) there was quite a bit of construction noise as there are hotels being built on either side of the Naksan (although this is not the fault of the hotel itself).
