Family-friendly Hotels in Gangneung-si

I went there with my husband. The hotel is really beautiful, I had a room with complete ocean view. The room was clean and nice decoration. There are some restaurants around the hotel. But we preferred to drive a little farther (1hour aprox) to check another beaches. We really enjoyed all the experience.

overall experience was decent, the location is the best part about this hotel. it was fairly crowded even on a weekday. the check in process was fine and the room quality overall was decent. the room and bathroom felt like it could need a deep cleaning. there is a infinity pool on the 20th floor and it was worthwhile, but they charge you an extra fee of ₩30,000 (masks mandatory). the breakfast buffet was a little disappointing, the majority of the food felt like it was low grade, and service was menial. the most disappointing part was the late night snack i chose to order from the BHC chicken place on the first floor. its crispy but there was literally so little meat, i was just eating the fried skin.. maybe because i went near closing time they gave me a bad batch, but overall super disappointing for the over marked price. there is also a small convenience store that stay open till 12am.

Very nice and clean modern facility, comfortable bed and convenient location with much to offer. The staff are very helpful even with the language barrier but they do their best to assist and help with finding stuff around town. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. I was here during the wildfire and strong winds and hotel staff put the patrons safety above all else and assist. Highly recommend this hotel for a safe enjoyable stay

It's so good for just 2 days and 1 night, and the bathroom is nice! The beach was also within walking distance, so the location was just right:) And it was looking east, so I woke up watching the beautiful sunrise~

The family room has one large bed and two small beds. The surrounding area is very lively and very close to the Central Market. Traveling is very convenient. There are many buses to Gangneung Station, and there are also routes to Tofu Village, Gyeongpo Beach and other attractions. However, as the number of buses decreases, you need to watch the time carefully. Gangneung is a quiet seaside town, very suitable for tourism.

It was a nice, clean 4-star hotel. It had a partial sea view, so it had a sense of openness, and the VR game room among the auxiliary facilities on the first floor was fun. Geumjin Hot Springs was large and neatly maintained and easy to use, but it was a bit disappointing that there was no shared space for men and women like a sauna. I used room service and the food was delicious, but there was no separate dining table and I had to eat at a small tea table, so it was a bit cramped and uncomfortable. Geumjin Port is close to the hotel and the view is good. Breakfast was also good.

Seeking to spend a few days on the Korean Seaside, we booked on short notice 2 nights in an Oceanview Double at Seamarq. Overall, we had a wonderful, very relaxing time: we particularly enjoyed - the spacious, beautifully designed and functional room and lobby area, which truly provides a sense of space and an extension of the hotel space into the sea - the absolutely stunning 5th floor pools area, which was never really crowded and also stayed open despite some minor rain on our first day: comfortable sunbeds, generous opening hours (06:30 - 22:00, great) and good service by the mostly very young crew up here - the nice ocean side loungers, even though we still find it awkward that there is (at least officially) a 1.5 hour limitation to the use of the sunbeds (though at least during our stay this did not seem to have been enforced) - the piano player who brought a serene, peaceful atmostphere to the lobby every night, and the Lobby Bar with an excellent drinks, tea and small food selection - the thought-through room design, incl. the practical wet clothes hanger with clips to secure any item, and the Nespresso machine, tea pot etc. - the overall good selection and tastiness of the food at breakfast and at the buffet dinner (which we only joined once) To be among the very best hotels, Seamarq needs to fix a few things - the setup and food presentation of the breakfast / dining room is more reminding of a low-end, family vacation style: relatively crammed seating, presentation of the food buffet is without love (though the have a great choice - it's more how it's presented), and erratic service (e.g. on first morning nobody cleared used dishes from our breakfast table, while today this was done promptly every time...). - while there is a wonderful beach with the hotel's sun loungers, there are no beach towels available: this is the first time ever around the world we experienced this. Why not provide the same service as at the pool (where those are freely available)? - as others wrote, the elevator availability and waiting time is a real issue - with only 3 elevators that are also partly used by staff to deliver luggage wait times are often excessive. All these were not significantly spoiling our experience, and we would definitely be back here if staying in the area - though it would be easy for the hotel to improve on some of the items above. Overall a wonderful place to stay if in Gangneug, and wanting to be at (or better above :-) ) the sea
