Gangneung-si hotels & accommodations

The reception staff was very courteous, spoke very good English, and had us in our room in minutes. The room was spacious and clean. The only downside was that the beds felt like sleeping on a box-spring. Unfortunately there was no beach access from this beachside resort. I think it may have been due to expansion at the foot of the hill, but beach access was one of our...

Hotel was a great value for the money. There are other hotels in the area, but they cost more and don’t seem that different. Room was nice and clean, multiple restaurants in the facility, short trip from Gangneung Station ( 강릉역), and beach is right there!

My family and I vacationed here during our summer vacation. It was "Golden Week" in Korea so we ended up paying double the regular rate. So that's why I rated the value for money a 3 star. It is beautiful and very nice. Everything is modern and even the entrance is very grand. Our room had partial view, but it was perfect. We saw the harbor and the sea-green water. We...

flanked by the ocean and lake, both just a stone's throw away! good for a laid-back vacation by the beach, stroll around the lake, affordable cab fares to attractions nearby e.g. anmok beach for coffee, sundubu tofu village, close to Gangneung station~ great to visit in the Summer!

Nice room, nice breakfast, nice service. All the staffs try their best to provide the best service and help to us. Hotel is near the central of city and food market. Also is a 25-minute walk from the bus terminal and KTX Gangneung station. Will stay here again when I come Gangneung next time.

Took a taxi from Gangneung KTX station to the hotel, which took 5min and cost us 4000won only. We booked a standard double room, and I immediately loved the room when I saw it - it was very tastefully but minimally decorated and felt very cosy. It was pretty spacious for 2pax, and they'd provided Aveda toiletries, which I was quite impressed by. Breakfast was equally s...

A clean and modern hotel. Friendly and nice staff, that speak English. Price was a bit high, but I think this is because of the Winter Olympics - normally I would expect the price to be quite reasonable. Conveniently located for visiting the Gangneung Olympic Park.

The hotel is very close to GangNeung KTX train station, also, it is one of the tallest building in the area, hence, it is very easy to locate the hotel. It is a very new and clean hotel with friendly staffs who can communicate in English. The room is spacious. I can oversee the Gangneung KTX station from my room.

Last February 2011 my wife and i travelled to Gangneung City in South Korea to accompany our daughter who was selected to participate in the Dream Program in Pyeongchan sponsored by South Korea. We arrived at N hotel without incident even though it was in the middle of a blizzard. The N Hotel, located at 273 Okcheon-dong, was smack in the middle of Gangneung City wit...

This is a very new hotel but there weren’t any teething problems. It’s clean, well designed and most of all was staffed with people who really care about their guests. It’s the Winter Olympics plus the Korean New Year, so we couldn’t get a taxi to an event. The staff made sure we got to our destination.

Stayed here for 4 nights in an Ocean Double. Definitely recommend the Ocean rooms which face the beach. Great to fall asleep with the sound of waves on the sand. Although if you’re a light sleeper the noises from fireworks on the beach and people walking down the street seems to go on until early hours. I didn’t find it a problem and the benefit of being right on the b...

Kind and polite Korean staff. Room is good and wide and more facilities such as hair dryer, bathtub, shower, toilet, TV, air condition, heater, refrigerator, sofa, bed , skincare, haircare, shampoo, soap. Price is very good for all service and facilities. Hotel was located on good point, near a bus stop shopping street, restaurant, coffee shop and convenience store.

The wife and I had to find a hotel last minute for a meeting in Gangneung. There were so many positive reviews on this place from first time reviewers that I thought many of them may be fake, but we decided to give it a try anyways. We're very glad we did. We were so impressed by the service and the atmosphere that we came back the very next weekend with family memb...

We got a good deal because we visited during low season winter. There are bunch of motels along the beaches area which is very popular in warm seasons. As it is located "out of the way" from downtown, one has to expect to walk a certain distance after dropping off the nearest bus stop. We were told by google map that several buses you can take e.g. 206 and 207 which br...

This hotel is a bit worn and older, but the staff keep it clean, and it is within walking distance of the new KTX station in Gangneung, so it's a good, cheap option if you have a train to catch. It's a bit far from everything else, but taxis are cheap and plentiful, so the location isn't terrible. Overall, it was what I expected for a cheap motel near a train station.

After living here 3 years and traveling the country extensively, this was definitely the best experience I have had at a hotel in Korea! The hotel manager and his wife were very friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to provide us with a good holiday! Whenever we asked for help, they gave us more help than we expected. For example, we asked where a good resta...

I have had the pleasure of staying at the Capsule Inn twice now (once in the winter and this last time at the height of summer). Both times I had a great experience staying there! As a solo traveler, it's always difficult to find lodgings that are a good value for money. Capsule Inn is located just off the beach - I could walk about 20 yards and be on the sand! There a...

- Clean guesthouse - Quiet and calm surroundings - Near from jeongdongjin station. At the time I arrived in Jeongdongjin station, I didn't have the exact direction to get to the guesthouse. I just asked a station officer where the guesthouse is and then she kindly told me the location. You just have to exit the station main building and then you will see a small road...

We paid for a Deluxe, but got the standard which lead to no bathtub. It didn't matter because the restrooms were a bit out dated. I loved that it wasn't on the busy part of the boardwalk which made the walk across the beach awesome. The wifi was the best I've encountered in KOrea. The CU has everything you want and the hotel gave out floats for the beach. The street is...

We are a group of 3 travellers from malaysia and just checked out about 10minutes ago.Hoon is a really great host!he guided us to his guesthouse ,n replied our message really fast.he drove us to many attraction places in gangneung,and we even go to the Pyeongchang trout fishing festival together with him. The house is nice and satisfactory for 3 of us.We had a healthy ...

The staff was very kind. The hotel is located in the center of the Gangneung city, so accessibility is good. It takes 5minutes walk to go to the train station and 10minutes drive to Pyeongchang Olympic Stadium. Also, within 30minutes there are many scenic beaches, attraction and shopping mall. It was a nice trip because the hotel was clean, the staff was friendly...

I strongly recommend this homely guesthouse to everyone. While you don't get fancy, luxurious facilities as with hotels (but why do you even want those in a guesthouse), what you get in exchange is a homely, warm and fuzzy feeling when you move into a guesthouse that has all the facilities you need. The wooden concept makes it even more cozy and comfortable to stay in....

The host I met, Jina unnie is super friendly, gave information about travelling in Gangneung. And breakfast prepared by her was super great! Like the environment where the guests have breakfast together and morning talk. Would like to come back for a longer stay in future. Location not too far from the traditional market. Noted that Agoda did not indicate the check i...

Made a last minute decision to stay in Donghae for a night. This was the first place we found. Great decision. Loved hanging out at the bar in the evening and taking in the chill surfer vibes. Then waking up to fresh beach air on the patio the next morning was tops.

강릉역에서 가깝고, 맛집과 월화거리 ,중앙시장 모두 걸어서 5분거리여서 좋았습니다! 기차시간때문에 밤11시인 매우 늦은 시간에 입실하게 됐는데, 사장님께서 너무 친절하게 입실을 도와주셔서 감사했어요! 방 상태도 깔끔하고 정리정돈이 잘 되어있었습니다. 무엇보다 저녁시간 파티를 꼭 해보셨으면 좋겠어요^^! 사장님과 좋은 사람들을 많이 만날 수 있거든요! 너무 좋아서 2박이나 했습니다! 다음에 강릉에 오면 다시 재방문할 의사 100%입니다! 강릉에 방문하신 여행객분들 모두 강릉 게스트하우스 중앙점에 방문하셔서 좋은 추억 가지고 가셨으면 하는 바람에 후기 작성해요^_^ ———————————————— It was close to Gangneung Stati...

I went to Gangneung for figure skating competition, at Gangneung Ice arena. from Gangneung intercity bus terminal, you can take taxi, it costs around 8000 won. from guesthouse to Gangneung Ice arena (Olympic Park) , if by taxi, it will cost around 6500 won. Anmok beach is at coffee street, so there are many coffee or cafe shops there , and it opens until late. There is...

The host of the guesthouse was very friendly, although her English was not that good, she will try her best to provide assistance, even invite me to have dinner with her family. The hostel was clean and tidy and with a good location that just needed 10~15 mins walking distance to the train station (P.S. the Gangneung Train Station is now under reconstruction).

Check in doesn't start until 4 pm which is amazingly late. They market themselves as a party hostel so those usually aren't the cleanest. Although there wasn't any particular problem with mold or smells, I was there for 3 nights and they never once cleaned the room or bathroom. There was a lot of paper and plastic trash around the room that me and some other guests cle...

The location was a bit far from the central but located at beach, if you are a beach lover you would like it. The staffs helped me a lot when I stayed there which was really nice. The room was clean and tidy, more than just a guesthouse. If you come to 강릉, you have to stay here, I promise you could have very nice exepetiences !!

The owner Mr Soon is a nice and friendly guy, willing to provide all the information that we needed. The room was small but very clean. 5 mins to the Gangneung train station by Taxi. Most of the taxi driver may not know the location of the guesthouse , may need to call the owner to speak with the driver. Overall is good. ;) we love it!

It is a very new and clean hotel with friendly staffs who can communicate in English. The room is spacious. I can oversee the Gangneung KTX station from my room.

Our 2 nights stay was nice and the room had nice wooden floors. Balconie with small table and chairs was nice to have breakfast or drinks at night. There is no restaurant in this hotel but there is a small kithchen so you can cook if you want or buy some instant noodles at the reception for a quick meal.

This is a great little spot overlooking the sea. The sleeping mats are slightly thicker and softer than typical Korean floor mats. The rooftop was a wonderful, quiet spot to relax and chat. The room was spotlessly clean! It’s right on the beach, so you can use your own shower after coming in from the waves. And there is a little rinse spigot in the courtyard outside, s...

The nearest place to go to Jeongdongin to welcome to sunrise! I love the Donghae beach as well as Jeongdongin.
This deceptively large city hold several gems, like the Donghae East Side Sea, the Seatrain, the Suncruise Hotel (a cruiseship on-land that has been turned into a resort) and Reunification park (which features a North Koreaon submarine and a former Battlecruiser from 1944).
Gangneung is a place full of historical value and beautiful scenery. Public transportation can be improved and more English signage would be better.
Visit the GYEONG PO LAKE.There are many poems phrasing the lake written by the ancient KOREAN poets.Take a birdeye view of the lake from the GYEONG PO LAKE PAVILION.
The sandy beach is good, but the weather was quite cold in the beginning of June, with too much rain to make use of it.
We enjoyed our time in Gangneung. With the 2018 Olympics coming soon, the city needs to get more signs and maps with more languages to help people navigate the city.
Travel every where by taxi, taxi fare from 3000 - 10000 won Can go for railway bike, seaside train and travel up for skiing
Seaside train - from Gangneung Staion (not the bus terminal)- 15000W one way to Samcheok )or any stops in betw, but samcheok Station is kinda isolated).
My favourite places were Jeongdongjin Beach, Ojukheon (including the small black bamboo forest) and Seogeumgang!
it is one of the best spots to have summer vacation in korea because of lots of beaches.during this time main highway is jam which is quite tiring.
