Hotel Dengan Gym di Gangwon State, South Korea

It’s a great hotel that provides a lot of services. You don’t need to go outside but there are no toothbrushes in the room which I thought was going to be part of the package

This hotel is excellent, definitely book a sea-view room. You can hear the sound of the waves as soon as you open the door in the room, and it's soundproof when closed. In the morning, you can watch the sunrise from your balcony without even leaving the room. The hotel has its own convenience store and restaurant, and there are many restaurants, convenience stores, and mini-markets nearby, especially lively on weekend evenings. You don't need to deliberately visit attractions every day; just looking at the sea from your room, or going down to Gyeongpo Beach to stroll along the shore and relax, is incredibly therapeutic. I'll definitely stay here again next time I visit Gangneung.

🐳👩🏻&👧🏻's Korea Trip Fourth stop ☞ Sokcho Luxury ocean view family room, two queen beds (131 cm wide) separated by a three-panel soundproof door. Accommodates four people, a really great room type. Facilities: Very new, minimalist decor, built-in large refrigerator, fresh-keeping cabinet, 28F gym and cafe, 29F infinity pool. Location: Very close to the long-distance bus terminal and the beach. A direct bus takes you to Jungang Market. The scenery is lovely. The only drawback is that this room faces south-southwest, so you can't watch the sunrise 🌅

Our second stay over 4 nights during the cherry blossom spring festival. As before, the English-speaking reception staff was welcoming and met our room request as return guests upon check-in. We had a higher floor unit, just as clean but with some wear and tear in bathroom fixtures. Although Spring is warmer, the central system is still set to heating instead of cooling, so we left the balcony door open most of the time to prevent the nights from being stuffy. The sunrise and coastal views were just as magical with more clouds. This time, we enjoyed the indoor spa pools and outdoor pool, as well as the buffet breakfast with fresh and nourishing regional Korean and international ingredients. We liked that there is a GS25, patisserie, wine store, retail shop library, laundry room, gym, and stylish eateries in the Monogram complex. One unpleasant incident marred our stay, however. Our clear ziplock bag of medicinal tea and beverage satchets packed from home went missing from the coffee counter on the 4th day (the last photo shows where we had placed it). We suspected housekeeping staff might have accidentally thrown out this personal item during room cleaning while we were out that day. We contacted the housekeeping and front desk, but it was not resolved beyond a promise to search/investigate, and later a denial that they had touched our personal items. We were not planning to pursue the matter, but we would have appreciated more initiative or efforts to lessen our distress (the medicinal tea for our digestive health problems was crucial for our travels). Will we be back again? Probably, but this incident has made us realise that in this aspect, the Shilla team still needs to work harder to meet the 5-star hospitality standards it promises to Korean and international travellers.

The location is a bit out of the way, quite far from the beach. Some details in the room's cleanliness weren't great; for example, the door leading to the bathroom was surprisingly dusty... The only impressive amenity was a self-contained dryer, but it could only hang 3 items at a time. Simple breakfast is offered in the morning, including rice, side dishes, and seaweed soup. You can fry your own eggs, and there's also a machine where you can buy instant noodles, but it doesn't accept cash or Visa.

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!

My family and I absolutely love this hotel. We HIGHLY recommend! Especially for families that decide to go to Sokcho just to relax or sightsee. My daughter loved her little tent to sleep in and the view was beautiful! This hotel offers a lot of amenities like a cute area for kids to play (play play), arcade w/ karaoke and photobooth, and so much more!! I was able to get these 2 cute desserts from the Horizon bakery. Unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to go to the indoor/outdoor pool but we will would love to come back and check it out! Thank you for the great experience in Sokcho!

The overall facilities and environment are decent, but the check-in and check-out times are completely unreasonable. You can't check in until 3 PM, yet someone was knocking on the door by 11 AM the next morning to rush us out, and they were quite rude about it, which really soured the experience. On top of that, the air conditioning in the room couldn't be adjusted, making it very inconvenient. I really hope the hotel can improve its service procedures and room amenities.

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 was really great, in the heart of pyeongchang. There are lots of restaurants and services in the vicitniy. The basement has a convenience store, restaurants as well as play area for kids. It is a big hotel. We stayed for 2 nights and the first night we got two single beds. We wanted a single queen bed and requested to change for the second night and was granted the change easily. Carpark space is also available. Good stay. Only thing lacking is they don’t provide toothbrush but you can easily purchase that from the convenience store.
