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!
Hotel Sokcho is located a 5-minute walk away from the Express Bus Terminal. This is very convenient for catching early buses back to Seoul. There’s a large supermarket nearby as well as convenience stores and eateries. Sokcho Beach is also about a 10-minute walk down the road.
The rooms are bright and spacious, with amazing views of the sea. But what we really appreciated was the remarkable standard of service offered. Late one night, our toilet got choked and the flush stopped working. We called the front desk and within a mere 10 minutes, a smartly clad staff appeared at our door, very politely fixed the uncomfortable issue and very politely left, all in a matter of a few minutes. Minimum fuss, maximum efficiency. We were impressed.
This beautiful hotel was the epitome of stepping into a luxury hotel. From the lobby to the room, everything was perfect. Clean, full amenities gone and the best part, I could eat everything at the mini bar (nuts, beers, chocolate) and they’d replenish it for free the next day. Waking up to the sound of rolling waves was the healing trip I needed and I would definitely stay here again.
Only thing is that it’s a bit further out from the central and while there’s a bus stop nearby, buses don’t run that frequently.
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.
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.
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.
It was a last minute reservation we have made to enjoy our national holiday and it surely was a great decision!
The location of this resort is in prime spot right next to the Dae-po dock where for the seafood lovers you are in for a delight of fresh and cost efficient sashimi and steamed crabs.
Not only that, the resort itself was very resourceful for the families who bring their youngs
- massive indoor playground
- arcade for the little gamers
- quiet family friendly walk way into the shorelines
- indoor water park
(Stopping here because my fingers hurt trying to write everything down!)
Lastly, the rooms were cleaned at exceptional quality with the ocean view.
Definitely coming back here next year!
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 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.
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...
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.

We had a great time!
TTuxannie WuanThe place is good, 7 minutes to ski and has a supermarket and eatery place nearby.
Honestly the room is nice, with cooking facilities but the owner was not friendly at all.
The toilet was stuck and leak they came with only the plunger and ask us settle ourself.
Is winter and we came with kids, the kids built a snowman and they destroyed the snowman after we went for ski trip.
We are a group of 10 and we wanted to cook our dinner. There is a small hut with table and chair and BBQ facilities, we ask to BBQ facilities (We are willing to pay, 10,000 won as stated) but she said is winter so we can’t use the BBQ pit, ended up we use the stove to cook up the meat.
The husband and wife came in to the huts and told us we can’t do BBQ but we explained to her we just cook the meat and we didn’t do any BBQ. We left the place with cleaner than we came in. I have to WhatsApp her and show her the place is cleaned.
The warn us that we must left the place by 1am but in fact all of us finished eh 9.30pm every day since we are tired from Ski.
During the last day, they came to us and I was thinking they come and say goodbye but they just make sure we throw every single piece of rubbish outside the house.
My husband wear shoe and just step to take our luggage and the owner insist us to take out the shoe before we went in to the house. Although we have explained, we just step in and take the luggage and go, he insisted us to take out the shoes.
I have been travelling all around the world and we do understand every cultural is different but as the operator of tourist industry, the owner has to be service minded. If you can’t accept any international travellers then please do not list your place in any platform or put up a notice that international tourist is not permitted to stay there and we won’t book accordingly.
Is such a shame to see this happened to us after our 5th trip to Korea and our 3rd trip to Pyeongchang for ski.

GGuest UserI stayed here for one night after hiking with friends.
I turned up the heat in the ondol room, so I woke up feeling very dry, but refreshed!
The room was reasonably clean, but the hangers were too high, making it difficult to hang my clothes.
And there was something sticking out, either the door lock battery or the wire, under the door handle.
I booked two rooms, but they assigned me to different floors, which was a bit inconvenient.
The location and service were okay, but the limited on-site parking meant many large cars were parked in the compact car spaces.
Next time I visit Mindungsan, I'll definitely stay here for the affordable price!
The room itself was the same, and I woke up in the morning, pulled the curtains, and enjoyed the view.

GGuest 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.
Ffenners0101Automated check-in. Well located with quick access to the beach. Many restaurants nearby. Everything is good. The only issue was the balcony was home to many pigeons and covered in...droppings. A comfortable stay none the less.
