"We really enjoyed the stay that was truly a calming one. It was exactly as per the pictures, clean and with a great view from our room! Staff were also friendly and kind, despite a slight language barrier as we did not speak much korean. There are cafes and eateries in walking distance too. Highly recommend this place to those who are looking for a respite from busy city life and need a refreshing rest. "

10/10 Excellent
"This was a great hotel option for us. The location was central between the cafe street in one direction and well-known local restaurants in the other direction. Absolute sea views from our room and a beautiful breeze from the lovely balcony. The room was clean and practical, with an enormous (maybe even too big) TV. The lobby was welcoming and the staff were friendly. We didn’t try the breakfast buffet but the price seemed very reasonable. Would stay here again if in Gangneung."
