Hostels in Gangwon State, South Korea

Are u planning to go or stay late at Legoland? This Hey Chuncheon hotel is a perfect place to stay for anyone to rest and relax. I liked comfortable bed and room and very affordable price. I was surprised by self zone an complimentary breakfast was offered. It was amazing place. I'd like to visit again and I will recommend to my friends ☺️

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Brown Dot Cheorwon Dong and would gladly return in the future. From the moment I arrived, the property gave off a clean, modern, and well cared for impression. The lobby was tidy and inviting, and the overall atmosphere felt calm and comfortable. My room was spacious enough to relax in after a long day, and it was equipped with all the essentials I needed for a convenient stay. The bed was especially comfortable, the linens were fresh, and the room remained quiet throughout the night, which made it easy to rest well. The staff also made a strong positive impression. Every team member I encountered was polite, friendly, and ready to help with any questions or requests. Check-in was quick and efficient, and check-out was just as smooth, which made the entire experience feel effortless. It is always nice when a hotel combines good service with a stress-free process. Another highlight was the location. The hotel is conveniently situated near restaurants, convenience stores, and several local points of interest, making it easy to get around without much trouble. Whether I was heading out for a meal or returning after sightseeing, the location worked very well as a base for my trip. Overall, Hotel Brown Dot Cheorwon Dong offers excellent value for money. It provides clean accommodations, comfortable rooms, and dependable service in a convenient setting. I would recommend it to both business and leisure travelers who want a peaceful, practical, and enjoyable place to stay. I especially appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi, the easy parking, and the sense of security throughout the property. Small details like these made the stay even more comfortable and convenient, and they added to the overall impression that this hotel is thoughtfully managed and consistently guest focused throughout.

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.

The hotel is located 3 streets away from the ktx station, not more than 10mins walk with heavy luggage. And 20mins walk to the Jungang Market & shopping districts. Plenty of bus stops around the hotel. Convenient store around the corner. The two guy receptions I met during my stay were super friendly and helpful even though they don't speak much English, and I felt very welcomed. The basic room was perfect for solo travellers, may be slightly tight for a couple. Everything was clean and well maintained. There is not only a hairdryer, but also a straightener provided in the room. The shower's water pressure was good, and had an electric bidet. Bed was just right, streets weren't noisy at night, and I had a comfortable sleep throughout my stay. The housekeeping lady was lovely and taught me how to operate the A/C. Probably just the TV was hard to use as it was all in Korean (but should be able to connect with Netflix). There are public PCs and washing-dryer machines with detergent provided at the lobby, and a lounge stocked up with instant noodles, breads etc. Everything mentioned above is free for guests - a big plus! Just right opposite the hotel there is a potato soup restaurant - which is the best food I had in gangneung! I definitely want to be back, and recommend to anyone making a trip to gangneung.

I really loved the interior design and atmosphere of the accommodation – it was so pretty! There was a computer available and the space was just right. I also appreciated being able to store my luggage and have cereal. Those were definite pluses. My only minor issues were that I had a bit of trouble with the main entrance, as the PIN code I was sent didn't work. Also, I didn't notice it myself, but my friend mentioned that one of the towels didn't smell great. If those small details could be improved, it would be a perfect place to stay!

I booked this room last minute for a weekend getaway, and initially, I worried it might be too big for me and the kids. But it turned out great! We had plenty of space to play with toys and just relax on the floor, making our one-night stay very comfortable. The building is a bit old, but it seems well-maintained inside, so there weren't any major inconveniences. However, I was quite put off to find leftover ice cream from a previous guest in the freezer. Also, the fireworks at night were so loud that I had to close all the windows, but then an old, stuffy smell filled the room. So, I ended up opening all the windows again in the early morning to sleep. On the bright side, having a convenience store and restaurant right in front was a huge plus. I'd definitely consider staying here again!

The owner was super kind and friendly! We came in to drop our bags, and they allowed us to check in wayy earlier than we were supposed to. For the price that I paid, I am VERY impressed with the room facilities. It was spacious, there were water dispensers and microwave on every level. The Microwave needs a bit of cleaning though. But my room and toilet was SUPER clean. I wished that they prepared normal sized towel, because we were only provided with a 'face towel'. But that's not a big issue. Location was okay, maybe 5-10 minutes walk (depending on the zebra crossings) to the nearest bus stop/metro. After checking out, owner also allowed us to leave out bags in her house (ground floor of the motel). She was very friendly. She can speak Korean and Chinese (Not English, but you can use Papago). Motel's location is also very near to a few cafes, a GS25, and restaurants. So it was very easy to have breakfast or dinner. Also walking distance to shopping area (Myeongdong-gil). That area also had MANY photobooth spots, a big Olive young. Conclusion: location was amazing!

The hotel was easy to find. There is a convenience store beside it, a pharmacy across the street and even a 24 hour ice cream store on the ground floor. Staff were polite and helpful, spoke good English. We booked a twin room and it was spacious for two small suitcases. There was a washing machine and small kitchen in the room. Bathroom was clean, shampoo/conditioner provided. Towels were also clean. Beds were comfortable but one bed had sheets that were torn/had holes in a spot. Plug points for charging were a little inconvenient. One was partly hidden at the foot of the bed and another was in the kitchen area.

To be honest.. all's good. Just 2 mini grumbles.. 1. I suppose because they do generally allow their guests to smoke in the room, i can still smell the tabacco lingering. Not the best smell through the nights there. 2. No lifts. Thankfully my luggage is not heavy this round so its still manageable else i could foresee an issue lugging it up and down the stairs. Now.. the pros..! 1. It is very clean. Bathroom attached which its great. 2. Room size is okie for 2. Has tv, wifi, lots of plugs.. facial care as well actually.. and a rather nice-smelling diffuser. Spacious even, to put 1 luggage. Theres a heater and aircon unit ( of cuz not needed in this winter season) 3. Bathroom is spacious. There's towels provided. Shampoo, bodywash and toothpaste even! Abundant hot water. 4. A stone throw away from the bus terminal. Less than 5mins walk. Loads of eateries, cafes and even a diaso. Oh and the market. 5. Small town.. so everywhere's walkable. Quiet, slow-paced town. Awesome to chill here.

The room looks exactly like the photos online. The owners were incredibly kind and friendly. I brought some takeout to eat on the first floor, and the owner was genuinely worried that because I was from out of town, I might have been overcharged – it was quite endearing, haha. The breakfast seems to vary slightly each day. Towels, a hairdryer, a comb, shampoo, body wash, and other essentials are all provided. The coffee is delicious, so definitely have some in the morning! There's a beach right in front, and since transportation isn't great anywhere in Gangneung, just take a taxi.
