4 stjerner hoteller i Gangwon, Sydkorea

Beliggenheden er fantastisk, da den er tæt på Sokcho turistmarked, Sokcho strand, E-Mart og Abai fiskemarked. Det er en ny bygning, så faciliteterne er rene, og der er en kiosk på første sal, hvilket er praktisk. Det var dog meget svært at komme ind i elevatoren under ind- og udtjekning. Jeg boede på 14. sal, og da jeg tjekkede ud, var elevatoren, der kom ned fra 20. sal, fuld, så jeg måtte vente i en evighed. Værelser markeret med ”walk-in special rate” har ikke parkering. Dette var første gang, jeg havde set konceptet ”walk-in special rate” på et hotel. Jeg foretog en reservation uden at tænke meget over det, men fandt senere ud af, at der ikke var parkering. Bemærk venligst, at walk-in special rate-reservationer ikke inkluderer parkering. Beliggenheden, faciliteterne og prisen var alle fremragende. Jeg ville helt sikkert bo her igen, hvis jeg besøger Sokcho igen!

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.
