Hotel Dengan Bar di Gangwon State, South Korea

The hotel boasts an excellent location and fantastic views. We were allocated a corner room with a great outlook. We arrived early, and the male receptionist informed us we could check in at 1 PM. However, upon returning after lunch, a different female staff member, who offered no smile, insisted check-in wasn't until 3 PM. We noticed other guests checking in, some even without a credit card, which felt inconsistent. After I had to complain, we were finally allowed to check in, but then they demanded a credit card for a security deposit. The attitude of the Korean front desk staff was very frustrating and made us feel extremely uncomfortable, almost discriminatory. Otherwise, everything else was fine, and we had a very enjoyable day.

The facilities were good and the room structure was the same as the picture, which was nice. However, there are not many restaurants, convenience stores, or other facilities around, so it feels a bit isolated. If you want a quiet place, I recommend it. If you want a place with a lot to see and eat, I don't recommend it.

Location is very nice Everything is quite tidy but need to bring your toothbrush and slipper as per its eco friendly policy

I waited an hour to check in. They said it was because it was the end of the year, but other reviews don't seem to suggest that, and it looks like there's always a wait regardless. Even if it was a Sunday at the end of the year, is a 60-team wait normal? Shouldn't they change their system? I wonder if it's right to just leave so many guests in the lobby without any measures taken for the long wait. I thought I was at a marketplace. I couldn't tell if I was on vacation or at a training camp. If it's going to be like this every weekend and during peak season, who would want to come here again? Just the waiting itself is stressful.

My friends and I came to Intercontinental Alpensia because we got a really good deal and expected to experience snow right at the resort. The snow arrived a bit later than we hoped but honestly, we still had such a good time! The room was lovely, the weather was perfectly chilly (sometimes too cold.. so come prepared!) and we were lucky to catch real snow at Mount Balsangwan by taking the cable car at nearby resort (Mona Yongpyeong) We have to give a huge shout out to the in-room dining service; the Beef Risotto and Frutti di Mare Pasta were soooo good. Truly delicious! The whole area is so pretty and calm, especially with the Christmas vibe when we visited. Everything felt cozy and magical. We definitely plan to return! ❄️💙

Living in the Blue Tower Sky Suite was a great experience! We enjoyed a 4-day, 3-night stay with no delays during check-out. The suite is within a 5-minute walk to the ski house and about a 10-minute walk to the central plaza, where we could shop at the convenience store (open until midnight) and visit the game store to play with the kids. Our kids really loved both the day and night activities. However, driving in the snow required extra caution since the rental car had four-season tires but no chains. Overall, it was a wonderful and memorable trip!

It's quite a distance, so if you're coming on your own, you'll need to take a taxi. It costs about 25,000 won each way. The breakfast spread is huge, but there are no restaurants around the hotel at night, only within the resort itself. There isn't even a casual spot to grab a drink.

Excellent bedding, cleanliness, and room condition, complemented by a heated rooftop pool! My family and I had a fantastic time here. Sokcho Beach is within walking distance, or just a 3-minute drive, which is perfect for an evening stroll. The area also boasts plenty of convenient facilities, with E-Mart, Olive Young, and Daiso all just a short walk away!

The Sokcho Cassia Hotel, which we visited for our wedding anniversary trip, was located in Daepo Port, and we could see both the port and the sea from the veranda of the accommodation. It was on the 25th floor, and when we went in, there was a slight musty smell from the bathroom shower room, so we took off one star for cleanliness! The breakfast here was 66,000 won, which was expensive compared to other accommodations, so we had high expectations, but there weren't many options for the price. Weekends are divided into three parts, and you can choose on a first-come, first-served basis when you check in. I think the checkout time was 11:00, but we checked out right after 8:00 after the first part of the breakfast to avoid traffic.

Nice clean hotel across from a nice beach for surfing. I was initially disappointed to find the hotel was across a very busy road from the beach, but the hotel itself is quiet and the rooftop in the morning was a great way to take in the sunset. I might not book here again because of the busy road but the hotel is nice.
