Find hotels in Jeongdongjin Beach

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 had two beds in the room and each were large (definitely not single beds). The room and bathroom were very clean, as well. The water in the hotel is hot when first turned on. That was a surprise. If you don't plan to go out, you can go upstairs to the rooftop and have some drinks. The food menu wasn't vast, but the beer was unlimited. Also, the view from the rooftop is AMAZING. When you go out to the large terrace and look below, you can see the coral and sea-green water. I actually didn't know that mainland Korea had that color sea. If you want to leave the hotel, you need a car. Nothing is close by walking.

1. Beautiful hotel overlooking Gyeongpo lake and at the back is Gyeongpo beach. 2. We got upgraded to 10th floor with beautiful lake view. 3. The international buffet dinner was very nice with good varieties. The dessert was excellent. 4. Distance by taxi to other attraction places just within 15 to 20 minutes. Highly recommended to stay in this hotel. This is one of the best hotels we had stayed so far.

This is by far the best resort that my family has ever stayed. We loved the tranquility of this hotel. For a 20-years-old building, it is well maintained and the rooms are very clean. The decor is of mixed Victorian and Vintage however the rooms are equipped with modern amenities such as TV and personal sound systems. Meals are a no-frills affair with only breakfast being served - a choice of traditional Korean or western toast, bacon and egg. The staff, although not very well-verse in English, did their best to attend to all our needs. This included even helping to free our rented car when it was stuck in the snow. Special mention goes to the Chief Manager, Mr Kang. He has shown us what Korean hospitality is about. This is our first visit to Korea, not only did he ensured that we were well looked after, we appreciate the fact that he even went out of his way to suggest and plan out the daily itinerary for us. And when our car was damaged in a small accident, he arranged the towing service as well as the mechanic and even got in touch with the insurance and car rental company. All these have cast lasting memories for us and our family is so happy to have stayed in Hotel November. A well-deserved 5 star rating!

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 restaurant was, and they actually brought us there. It was during the week, so perhaps it was a less busy time for the hotel. Also, even though we only booked for two people on Agoda, they gave us extra Korean style floor bedding for our third person. My friends and I were so impressed, we wrote the hotel manager and his wife a thank you note! If you are a foreigner who speaks enough Korean to have a very basic chat with a hotel manager, I highly suggest this hotel! They were incredibly kind and had great advice about restaurants and beaches. They genuinely cared to make sure we had a great trip and were so pleased/amused to speak Korean to foreigners. The only negative aspect about this hotel is that a taxi from Gangeung Bus Terminal cost 25,000 won, and it is on top of a hill (ten minute walk down to the beach). However, the location on the hill makes for a BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean and Jeongdongjin Beach area. And, we were able to catch a bus back to the terminal on the return trip to save money. I will definitely stay here again!

We arrived around 2am and there was staff who can speak good English to check us in and helped us to settle in for a couple of hours sleep before we went for our Sea Train trip at 6am. The staff was very helpful throughout our stay. The room was comfortable and in the morning we were greeted with a beautiful view of the lake. In front of the hotel was the beach, where we had a wonderful time playing the fireworks at night. This hotel was near the famous Chodang Sundubu street (about 5mins by taxi) where we had the best tofu dinner. It's worth the two and half hours journey out of Seoul to come here for the sunrise and the Sea Train, especially the stopover at Jeongdongjin.
