Hostels in Gangwon State, South Korea

Are u planning to go or stay late at Legoland? This Hey Chuncheon hotel is a perfect place to stay for anyone to rest and relax. I liked comfortable bed and room and very affordable price. I was surprised by self zone an complimentary breakfast was offered. It was amazing place. I'd like to visit again and I will recommend to my friends ☺️

The room and bedding were really clean, and the surroundings were quiet, making it a great place to relax. The owner was also very kind and attentive to our needs, so thanks to them, we had a pleasant stay.

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.

The hotel is located 3 streets away from the ktx station, not more than 10mins walk with heavy luggage. And 20mins walk to the Jungang Market & shopping districts. Plenty of bus stops around the hotel. Convenient store around the corner. The two guy receptions I met during my stay were super friendly and helpful even though they don't speak much English, and I felt very welcomed. The basic room was perfect for solo travellers, may be slightly tight for a couple. Everything was clean and well maintained. There is not only a hairdryer, but also a straightener provided in the room. The shower's water pressure was good, and had an electric bidet. Bed was just right, streets weren't noisy at night, and I had a comfortable sleep throughout my stay. The housekeeping lady was lovely and taught me how to operate the A/C. Probably just the TV was hard to use as it was all in Korean (but should be able to connect with Netflix). There are public PCs and washing-dryer machines with detergent provided at the lobby, and a lounge stocked up with instant noodles, breads etc. Everything mentioned above is free for guests - a big plus! Just right opposite the hotel there is a potato soup restaurant - which is the best food I had in gangneung! I definitely want to be back, and recommend to anyone making a trip to gangneung.

I was really worried about finding accommodation for my solo trip to Gangneung, but it was better than I expected!! I walked there from Jungang Market, and it felt like it was close, yet not quite close, kind of close, but not really close! The condition of the room was good. However, when I tried to use the breakfast area, the milk was almost all gone, and the machine was turned off, so I couldn't use it. I turned it on myself (it seemed like a machine that requires preheating, so it was very disappointing that it was off... ㅠ). Still, aside from these things, I had a good stay for a solo female traveler.

I booked this room last minute for a weekend getaway, and initially, I worried it might be too big for me and the kids. But it turned out great! We had plenty of space to play with toys and just relax on the floor, making our one-night stay very comfortable. The building is a bit old, but it seems well-maintained inside, so there weren't any major inconveniences. However, I was quite put off to find leftover ice cream from a previous guest in the freezer. Also, the fireworks at night were so loud that I had to close all the windows, but then an old, stuffy smell filled the room. So, I ended up opening all the windows again in the early morning to sleep. On the bright side, having a convenience store and restaurant right in front was a huge plus. I'd definitely consider staying here again!

The owner was super kind and friendly! We came in to drop our bags, and they allowed us to check in wayy earlier than we were supposed to. For the price that I paid, I am VERY impressed with the room facilities. It was spacious, there were water dispensers and microwave on every level. The Microwave needs a bit of cleaning though. But my room and toilet was SUPER clean. I wished that they prepared normal sized towel, because we were only provided with a 'face towel'. But that's not a big issue. Location was okay, maybe 5-10 minutes walk (depending on the zebra crossings) to the nearest bus stop/metro. After checking out, owner also allowed us to leave out bags in her house (ground floor of the motel). She was very friendly. She can speak Korean and Chinese (Not English, but you can use Papago). Motel's location is also very near to a few cafes, a GS25, and restaurants. So it was very easy to have breakfast or dinner. Also walking distance to shopping area (Myeongdong-gil). That area also had MANY photobooth spots, a big Olive young. Conclusion: location was amazing!

To be honest.. all's good. Just 2 mini grumbles.. 1. I suppose because they do generally allow their guests to smoke in the room, i can still smell the tabacco lingering. Not the best smell through the nights there. 2. No lifts. Thankfully my luggage is not heavy this round so its still manageable else i could foresee an issue lugging it up and down the stairs. Now.. the pros..! 1. It is very clean. Bathroom attached which its great. 2. Room size is okie for 2. Has tv, wifi, lots of plugs.. facial care as well actually.. and a rather nice-smelling diffuser. Spacious even, to put 1 luggage. Theres a heater and aircon unit ( of cuz not needed in this winter season) 3. Bathroom is spacious. There's towels provided. Shampoo, bodywash and toothpaste even! Abundant hot water. 4. A stone throw away from the bus terminal. Less than 5mins walk. Loads of eateries, cafes and even a diaso. Oh and the market. 5. Small town.. so everywhere's walkable. Quiet, slow-paced town. Awesome to chill here.

The room looks exactly like the photos online. The owners were incredibly kind and friendly. I brought some takeout to eat on the first floor, and the owner was genuinely worried that because I was from out of town, I might have been overcharged – it was quite endearing, haha. The breakfast seems to vary slightly each day. Towels, a hairdryer, a comb, shampoo, body wash, and other essentials are all provided. The coffee is delicious, so definitely have some in the morning! There's a beach right in front, and since transportation isn't great anywhere in Gangneung, just take a taxi.

The hotel's location is excellent, you can clearly see the beachfront and sea view, while rooms on the other side overlook a lake. The hotel is surrounded by restaurants and convenience stores, and it's very close to a bus stop. Amenities are well-stocked, including a hairdryer, in-room slippers, housekeeping service, and unlimited drinking water, plus a free water dispenser that helps cut down on plastic use. I also liked being able to open the windows for fresh air, and there are still insect screens in place. One small note: I couldn't find the amenities at first since they were kept in a box placed in the bedroom area, a label on the box would make them easier to spot. As for towels, only short hair towels were provided; larger bath towels would be more convenient. The housekeeping staff were generously attentive, though the bathroom cleaning wasn't quite thorough, I noticed some stray hairs left in a few spots. Overall, the hotel's location and service were very good.
