The check in was quick and the room was clean and nice. The hotel is walking distance to the beach albeit somewhat of distance to the town, but a nice sea-side walk. From the bus station it's about a USD6 or 7 ride.
The best part of the stay were the staff - very helpful. Although only one spoke English, he was available by phone when needed. I had a question about getting to another city about 10 or 11 at night, not only did he give me information that the tourist information person didn't (made life easier), he even went to the train station to get me the schedule! It was certainly not necessary but tremendously appreciated. When I checked out the next morning, I requested a taxi - instead someone drove me to the train station (without charge) b/c the taxi would've taken too long!
Overall, a very good and positive experience. I would certainly stay here again and do recommend it.
I stayed here for two nights during a weekend break. Everything about this hotel was perfect. The hotel was fairly basic but had everything one could possibly need. The location was ideal and very peaceful. Just a 5 minute walk down to the busier stretch of the beach. The staff were wonderful and couldn't do enough to help us. They were always available with tips and advice and always willing to assist us. A wonderful experience all around. Highly recommended!
Amazing stay! Clearly the bets motel in Gangneung. The young man, who worked in the reception was very kind, and he worked very hard. We don't speak English, and each time he helped us when we needed it. Even when the other workers woke him up to speak to us (due to our lack of Korean). Thank you!
