Hotels near Jeongdongjin Time Museum

Pros: - The location is very nice. Not too far of a taxi ride from the station and close to the beach. - The room is still new and very clean. - The bed is nice and big. Cons: - The fridge wasn't that cold. - Asked the front desk for ice at 11pm and they said it was not available after 10pm and suggested buying it at a convenience store. (They did call the store for us to see if they still had ice. But I expected full service from a 5-star hotel.) - The view was okay. It was not a full ocean view but could still see it if from one angle in the room or when you went out to the balcony. - Accidentally left a couple of T-shirts in the room and called the evening that we checked out. A representative called the next day but said nothing was found. Overall: The hotel itself is big, new, and clean. The staff is friendly, but also slightly awkward perhaps due to lack of experience. Lastly, I expected better service from a 5-star hotel.

The people who work there are so nice and helpful. They really made our stay so wonderful. The staff helped us a lot because they were able to answer all of my questions and helped me when I needed it. The waiters at the hotel restaurants were really friendly and made good recommendations. The shuttle drivers were very friendly and helpful as well. Even one of the convenience store clerks helped me and he really didn’t have to. Our room was spacious, clean, and the view was wonderful. The bed was soft and the bathroom was big. If you don’t have a car you’re a bit limited. They have a shuttle that runs to the beach every hour until about 6pm so you can’t really go anywhere after that unless you have your own car. They do have some places to eat in the hotel though. There’s a restaurant on the main floor, the top floor, and outdoor lounge area. The food is good and is about $20+ per dish. There’s a convenience store in the basement that can offer quick cheap stuff to eat. It mainly has foods but not things like headache medicine or allergy medicine.

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.

It's a bit expensive but it was a nice stay. The room was clean. My room came with balcony...if they provided table and chairs on the balcony like their picture for my room, would be great. Staff was great. The parking lots is kind of small but they provide valet parking so its great. It was located closed to local market and next to the sea. I was expecting to watch sunrise and was up early, I was told i could see it from my room at 7th floor but apparently it was blocked by a building in front of me. Can probably see the sunrise from their 9th floor.

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 members. Mr. Kang took care of us and went above and beyond what we expected for such a modestly priced hotel. The rest of his staff were very attentive and friendly. The service here was better than some 5 star hotels we've stayed at. The cafe served excellent coffee. The only issue experienced was that the wifi wasn't the best, but I'm guessing most people don't come here for the wifi. We will be back again next year. We highly recommend Hotel November!

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.
