Hotel Dengan Bar di Gangwon State, South Korea

The location is excellent, very close to the beach with great views. The rooftop pool is beautiful, and it's also near many dining options. There's even a convenience store, BHC fried chicken, and burgers available within the hotel. The staff are very polite.

The staff were friendly and the room was clean, which was nice. I stayed in a suite, and with three beds, I had a comfortable stay with my friends. It seems like stylers are a must-have in hotels these days, and they really helped me out. I'll definitely stay here again next time I'm in Wonju!

Overall, I was satisfied! However, the only thing that was disappointing was that this place seems to be jointly operated with the Jackson Nines Hotel. I was confused at firstㅠ Also, I traveled by train, but it was a bit far from the station (about 25 minutes on foot), so I recommend a taxi or bus. The staff was also very friendly, but it was disappointing that they were often awayㅠ (I think it was because there weren't enough staff..)

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.

Wow! It felt like time travel back to the last century in the UK, the moment you step into the hotel lobby, which is full of nostalgic British decorations. The restaurant, especially, is like a royal family gallery with photos of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, Prince William, and other royals covering the walls. Each floor features a unique theme dedicated to various public figures, including presidents, diplomats, sports stars, movie stars, singers, and actors. The hallways are decorated with photos and memorabilia, making every walk a discovery. The location is very close to the entrance of Seorak Mountain National Park, within a 7-10 minute walk. My double bedroom is lovely with a nice view of greenery. The only downside and a major issue to me is that no AC at night, which is not mentioned in the hotel’s description. The staff explained that the AC is centrally controlled and is turned off at night because they assume it’s cool enough. They can only give me a fan. I had both dinner and buffet breakfast at the hotel, and they were all good, and all the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were very nice and friendly as well.

Super value for money. No complaints. Parking is valet with no extra to pay. DIY laundry keeps all clothes dry and cleaned for multiple days of exploration in beautiful Gangneung! Staff recommended good eating places for grilled pork and beef. Don’t miss the gimbaps!

Dignity Hotel is located right next to the ocean, so for sea-loving folks, this is the place for you! Naksan Temple is 20mins away, but the beautiful ocean will keep you occupied while you stroll over. Room-wise, the room is very spacious, with a large walk in dressing room and a lounging area. It is also very quiet at night (it is the countryside after all!) and you will be guaranteed a good rest. Amenities around the areas are sparse as it is still low-season (for instance, the nearest well-stocked convenience store is 20 mins away). So I recommend to purchasing the morning buffet at the hotel restaurant so you wouldn’t go hungry in the mornings while thinking about where to explore. Regardless, I expect the area to be much more accessible during the high-season of summer, so plan accordingly! All in all, if I return to Yangyang, Dignity Hotel will be my first choice in selecting a place to stay. I had a wonderful time there.

Extremely comfortable! The environment, cleanliness, and service are all top-notch. It's spacious, new, and luxurious. The room's balcony offers a direct, incredible ocean view – waking up to the blue sea instantly lifts your mood. The room is large, the bathroom is large, and the bed is extra-large; it's my first time sleeping on such a big bed, easily big enough for three people. The gym has a full range of equipment. The hotel's heating is excellent and comfortable, so you never feel cold. Thanks to this hotel, I had a particularly comfortable two-night stay during my Gangneung vacation. I hope they continue to maintain this standard, and I'll definitely come back if I get the chance!

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.

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.
