Hotel 4-Star di Gangwon State, South Korea

The hotel's hygiene is excellent, and the rooms are quite spacious, making it very family-friendly. The hotel's location is a bit out of the way, and the main issue is that parking isn't free at the hotel's own lot. You have to park about a ten-minute walk away (though there's a hotel shuttle service). This is quite inconvenient when the weather is hot. Also, you absolutely cannot check in before 4:00 PM, so be aware of that if you're planning to go. The staff can come across as cold, lacking the usual warmth you'd expect from a theme park hotel. On the positive side, the park was not crowded, so there were hardly any queues, which made the kids happy, though the adults found it a bit boring 😌

- Location: Gyeongpo Beach side is a hotel many 2030 squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky s It's really quiet. So I often eaten in Gyeongpo and took a taxi. - Not bad, but overall a little poor 1. No quilt, just a very thin cloth on the mattress 2. I can't lie down watching TV (only a mat on the double floor TV is below) 3. The terrace is small and the door is not locked 4. Spa bathtub is good. But dust comes out. A little lack of hot water. Spa facilities but no robes. Towels were a bit wet - Good point. 1. It's quiet and not ocean view, but the sea is very close 2. The rooftop barbecue place was good 3. ok to take pictures 4. It's a good place to take a lot of luggage I told you what you needed by text with the boss.

This was a very pleasant place to stay before and after a hike in Seoraksan National Park. Lovely view from the balcony. Very clean and comfortable, and helpful staff! Very convenient location. The local bus to the national park is right across the street from the hotel, and the hotel is 10 minutes walk from the express bus terminal. I was pleasantly surprised by a washing machine in the room, which was great to clean my muddy clothes after my hike (you'll need your own laundry detergent). The room had a kitchenette with sink, hot plate, and full-size refrigerator and freezer. The only problem is there was no pot or pan to use on the hot plate, so I could not actually use it to warm my food (unless I would travel with my own pot)! It would be nice if the room provided a hair dryer and if the hotel had some breakfast option. The cafe downstairs offers only drinks, not food, and doesn't open until 11 a.m. The entryway light is motion activated, and there are many electronic buttons and panels around the room that emit light, so if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, you will have to cover your eyes with a sleep mask. Also note that it you close the sliding door between the bed and living area while the air conditioning is on, it will prevent the cold air from reaching the part of the room where the thermostat is located, so the air conditioner will remain on indefinitely, and the sleeping area will get very cold. The various panels for lights and temperature were a bit difficult to understand. English labels would be helpful. But the receptionist was helpful and came up to my room to show me how to use the air conditioning. The USB port on the nightstand worked some of the time and sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out if there was a switch or setting somewhere in the room to make it work, or if it was just malfunctioning.

We stayed at Mona YongPyong – Bliss Hill Stay 🏔️ The place was very strategic and convenient. Just below our hostel was the YongPyong Bus Station, and right next to it was Mona Park Ski Resort ❄️🎿 We also enjoyed halal food at Efes Kebab, which made our stay even more memorable 🍽️🤍 We will definitely come back again next time!

The room feels like a studio condo: spacious and clean, with a comfortable bed. Amenities are available at the front desk for purchase. The air conditioning is centrally controlled, and while the temperature is acceptable. The room offers sea views, though the view can be partially blocked by nearby high-rise buildings. The hotel is well located near the Sokcho bus express terminal, with the bus stop of No. 7 and No. 7-1 for Seoraksan National Park just across the street. A variety of local restaurants and convenience stores are nearby, and Sokcho Beach is about a 10-minute reach—very convenient for travelers.

No tea bags or coffee sachets provided, which is a bit weird.  Water pressure for shower is way too weak.  No room cleaning services, leaving alone having your new towels put outside your room in the morning. Only 4 lifts serving way too many hotel stayers, resulting in long waiting lines and thus, time.  Views are magnificient however.  The room is so massive and the balconies are spacious.

1. Poor Room Layout and Lack of Consideration for Female Guests There is no dressing table/vanity. Without one, there should at least be a mirror positioned where I can sit down to apply makeup, but the only mirror is located by the entrance (where you put on shoes). I tried using the bathroom instead, but the lighting is so poorly placed that it reflects off the mirror, making it impossible to see my face clearly. Furthermore, the hairdryer cord is so short that I can’t even look in the mirror while drying my hair. The lack of consideration for female guests is appalling. 2. Unreasonable Trash Disposal Policy Guests are required to sort and dispose of their own recycling. I don’t understand why a guest staying at a hotel is expected to do the housekeeping. To make matters worse, the trash disposal area has no roof, so if it’s raining, you have to either hold an umbrella or just get soaked while throwing away the trash. 3. Unmanaged AV Room There is an AV/Game room, but no staff members are stationed there to manage it. This means if one team decides to monopolize the equipment and play for hours, there is no way to intervene. There is clearly no oversight or system in place to ensure all guests get a fair turn.

Location is amazing if you want to hike in Seoraksan as it’s right at the entrance and saves you from driving and parking or being subject to public transport woes. Hotel is a bit run down, and room service / restaurants have limited food selection but there’s a tiny unmanned convenience store at the lobby and if you drive out a bit there’s quite a lot of food. They do charge for everything including extra bottled water so just keep in mind if you’re wanting anything extra. Would still recommend staying here if you’re wanting to hike the mountain as the views are super good and the location near the park entrance is also fantastic.

Because it was a weekday during the off-season, the price-to-performance ratio was really good. The location was good and parking was easy~ There was a place to separate trash on each floor, and it was nice that there was a large convenience store inside the building! The room was spacious, the bedding was clean, the kitchen was clean, the bathroom was clean, and the water pressure was good, so there was no inconvenience at all. I tried to order chicken through room service, but the BHC in the building that was supposed to be open 365 days a year seems to be closed on Mondays. I had it delivered from a different branch. The front desk staff was also kind! The cat named Pepe, which is probably the resort's cat, was also super cute. I often come to Gangwon-do to go fishing, but from now on, when I come to Goseong, I'll have to come here! I'll have a good stay~!
