“The best hotel in Gangneung with good views from the beach and everything is impeccable”

CYC ( 260110 ) My family stayed at this hotel for one night. The hotel is right next to the sea, so the view and atmosphere are very good, and it is one of the famous hotels in Gangneung.

The accommodation is a little expensive, but it is worth it, and it is an impeccable accommodation in many ways. There are many restaurants nearby and walking trails, so it is worth staying in.

“Beautiful sunrise”

I stayed in a high-floor room facing the sea rather than the lake. The room was simply furnished but comfortable. During my stay in May 2025, the air conditioning couldn’t be adjusted beyond a certain temperature, which was a minor inconvenience. While the room itself was quite small, the spacious … Mehr

I stayed in a high-floor room facing the sea rather than the lake. The room was simply furnished but comfortable. During my stay in May 2025, the air conditioning couldn’t be adjusted beyond a certain temperature, which was a minor inconvenience. While the room itself was quite small, the spacious balcony more than made up for it. From there, I was able to enjoy Gangneung’s famous sunrise without needing to head down to Gyeongpo Beach, which is conveniently located just in front of the hotel. In the evenings, it was fun to watch people setting off small fireworks at the beach—an unexpected and charming sight. These fireworks are easily available for purchase at the nearby convenience store. A short 2–3 minute walk from the hotel leads to several seafood restaurants, though most serve dishes in sharing portions. Within the hotel, you’ll find a café, a bakery, a BHC chicken outlet, and a convenience store, which added to the overall convenience of the stay. A 15-20mins cab ride brings you to the train station/city. While location is not convenient for shopping, it is a perfect place to relax and unwind.

“Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis”

Die Architektur des Hotels ist imposant aber gewöhnungsbedürftig. Innen ist alles schön sauber und großräumig. Leider stinkt es in der ganzen Lobby und v.a. in den Restaurants mal etwas und mal sehr stark, nach Korean BBQ/gebratenem Fett, so dass auch die Kleidung danach riecht. Das finde ich sehr … Mehr

Die Architektur des Hotels ist imposant aber gewöhnungsbedürftig. Innen ist alles schön sauber und großräumig. Leider stinkt es in der ganzen Lobby und v.a. in den Restaurants mal etwas und mal sehr stark, nach Korean BBQ/gebratenem Fett, so dass auch die Kleidung danach riecht. Das finde ich sehr unangenehm. Das Frühstück kostet 20$ und ist dafür gut und umfangreich. Ich würde für den Zimmerpreis wiederkommen.

“Good location and decent value”

The beach is steps outside the back of the hotel, with a long boardwalk for runs or walks. The room was clean, had all of the essentials. The check-in lines for the weekend were long, but my sense is that this bothers foreigners more than Koreans who might be used to this sort of thing. Within walk… Mehr

The beach is steps outside the back of the hotel, with a long boardwalk for runs or walks. The room was clean, had all of the essentials. The check-in lines for the weekend were long, but my sense is that this bothers foreigners more than Koreans who might be used to this sort of thing. Within walking distance is a couple of tidy blocks facing the ocean of restaurants (mostly seafood, of course), convenience stores, and the occasional cafe. I ate at Rui, a tonkatsu place that was very good. Gangneung is relatively spread out, so you'll need to either take a bus or a taxi to Anmok Coffee Street and cultural sites. I did not use the pool or sauna, but as with all Korean hotels, check the rules before you make plans for use.
