2-Star Hotels in Gangwon State, South Korea

Absolutely loved the hotel. This was my first time experiencing a self-check-in process, where you register via a tablet at the entrance and receive your key card, rather than interacting with a person. It's incredibly convenient and perfect for introverts. The room was clean and cozy. There was water in the fridge, and they provided several charging cables for different devices, which is super handy for anyone who might have forgotten theirs. The bathrobes came in individual bags. I particularly liked the shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel. I also appreciated that the bathroom and bedroom were separated by a small hallway.

I spent three nights at this hotel located not far from the entrance to Seorak National Park. So let's start at the beginning by stating that this was one of the main criteria that guided my choice and helped me narrow down the wide range of hotels in Sokcho. I wanted to be within easy reach of the reserve since I'm a hiking enthusiast. A word of advice, though: take a taxi, which will likely drop you off below the parking area. This way, you'll be sure to arrive well warmed up before your trekking session. But I'm getting further away from the hotel... A second element, logically related to the above, if, like me, you were looking for a quiet and peaceful place to rest after your workout, you've found it. A true haven of peace... perfect for a good night's sleep, except in exceptional circumstances, since the first night I had a serious snorer, and since the walls aren't very thick... I won't draw you a picture. Breakfast is available by informing reception the night before. For the price, don't miss out. Room cleaning is also available, just request it in the lobby. The rooms are remarkably clean, although not very spacious. But the hotel offers almost all the usual amenities one would expect in addition to the room amenities: toiletries, free 5G internet access, bottled water, French coffee pods (be careful, there's a catch) and green tea... Unfortunately, when it came time to extend my stay by one night to rest in the dry - the weather is very bad in Korea right now - reservations were fully booked due to Chuseok - Korean Thanksgiving - a major family reunion event where ancestors are honored... needless to say, this is also the most difficult time to find accommodation and, of course, the most expensive for us as guests. Prices easily double. Keep this in mind if you come to Korea, and especially if possible, book in advance during the fall holidays. Unfortunately, shortly after booking elsewhere, a room became available... And where I landed, I quickly found myself in a completely different world, with a clientele and atmosphere that were the opposite of what I had so enjoyed at the Amaranth Hotel. So British in a very nice way...isn't it?

Super friendly personell and super clean room! Location also very convenient loads of restaurants and convenience stores around the hotel. Right at the beach 10/10

개인적으로 양양 숙소중에 가격대비 제일 깨끗하고, 예쁩니다. 내부에서 바라본 오션뷰 정말 최고입니다. 침대도 고급이고, 어메니티도 최고입니다.!! 직원분이신지 사장님이신지 모르겠는데 제가 실수로 와인잔까지 깨트려서 죄송했는데, 흔쾌히 괜찮다고 하시네요. 친절하게 맞이해주셔서 감사합니다.! 즐겁게 이용하였습니다 :) 다음에 또 방문하겠습니다.!

I'm not sure if it was the manager or the owner, but their kindness made a good first impression. However, once I stepped inside, the room was so dirty that I could feel dust on my feet. If the interior was as clean as the exterior, I'd definitely return.

Great location: 5min walk from gangneung ktx station, eateries nearby, a convenience store right at the corner, walking distance or take bus to the central market. Central area but quiet neighbourhood. Comfy environment: Hotel is very neat and clean, looks very new and smell nice once you step in entrance. Self-check-in. P.S. i only found out after check-out that guests may choose the aroma oil at the lobby n bring it to room :] nice Flow-er experience 🌺😌 Nice amenities: Reserved the spa n movie room while the room is equipped with projector n soundbar, n you get to control different lighting setup with tv remote control, pretty cool! Good time watching some kdrama n hot bath after long journey to spend the night. Love the fact that shower water is strong n hot enough which is very essential for me. One downside is that the light of the ac and wifi router keep flashing at night and may affect if you are a light sleeper… everything else is great. I love how they have usb-a ports n also wireless charging! You can also borrow extra amenities like charging cable n hair straightener at each floor locker cabinet. Luggage Storage Available after check-in/after check-out at each floor or lobby behind the water/coffee/refreshment section. Overall, highly recommend with such price👍🏿

The hotel was great. Perfect location. Front beach and a lot of seafood restaurants and cafes nearby. Staff in reception are nice. We were greeted politely and was given a complimentary chocolates for the nye which we thought a very sweet and nice gesture. The room is big and clean. Comfortable bed. We will definitely stay here again in summer.

It's not that big though. I think it's good in terms of cost-effectiveness. Moreover, it was nice that there were many dakgalbi restaurants nearby. There was nothing particularly inconvenient.

It was a very, very tidy hotel with a good view of Cheongcho Lake.Especially comfortable bedding was comfortable enough to be not pushed even compared to a 5 star hotel.Thanks to that, I slept well. We arrived late-Actually, I saw that parking was a little uncomfortable in the review-It was ambiguous to park, but the boss took care of it, so I parked and received the room key. Thank you very much. Book cafe and simple breakfast were also provided on the 3rd floor. I was lying more because the bed was so comfortable. I regret coming a little earlier to check in.. There is a convenience store opposite the hotel, a famous Munwoodang bookstore right next to it, and Cheongcho Water Corridor E-Mart, Daiso, and Sea Garden Cafe are also nearby, so it is easy to move around. I'm trying to decide the accommodation.

I have stayed here before to hike Seoraksan. This time, I had a nicer room; however, because it is near the mountains and older, there was a huge house centipede on the ceiling when I got there. Luckily, the bug spray they had worked on it. Other than that, there were some small stains on the bedding, but everything else was clean. The bed was comfortable, and the location is about 55 minutes walking distance from Seoraksan National Park. It's only about an 8 minute taxi drive there if not too much traffic. There is a beautiful river/stream nearby. This place is also only about a 16 minute drive from the Sokcho Express Bus Terminal. Obviously, I like this place enough to stay again. Breakfast was toast, cereal, and you could make eggs/a toast sandwich I believe.
