hostel di Gangwon, Korea Selatan

위치가 좀 애매한 부분이 있으나 전반적으로 매우 만족한 철원여행을 함께한 숙소였어요

The hotel is super cleany, probably even quite new. The rooms was a bit small but it had everything we needed - nice bed (love the mattress!), and good size for the bathroom. The check-in was supposed to be at 4PM, but we arrived around 3Pm and they happily gave us the room in less than 5 minutes without any problems. Great service! Will definitely be back.

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!

The entrance was not quite welcoming since it almost looked a bit like a construction site, but I was happy with my bed and room. The lockers are quite small, so I would recommend to not bring large luggage/ backpack since it will not fit. There could be more tables in the entrance to make having breakfast at the hostel a little more comfortable.

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.
