4-Star Hotels in Gangwon State, South Korea

Nice hotel well situated by the night market, Abai Village and Rodeo Drive. Easy to walk around and explore. The rooms was well kept with no issues. Only downside was lack of parking. They will try to accommodate you so you won't be stuck, but was inconvenient.

The room's cleanliness was generally good, but the hotel's location is quite far from the city center, which is really inconvenient without a car. It was hard to get an Uber, but thankfully the front desk staff were great; they helped me call taxis a few times and were very patient, which I appreciate! The hotel is part of a resort. I had fried chicken downstairs, but for other meals, I took a taxi to the city, which cost nearly 100 RMB per trip. If you're staying at the hotel, you get a 10% discount at Ocean Play; remember to mention your room number when buying tickets at the front desk. It's divided into a sauna and a swimming pool. I mistakenly went to the outdoor area of the sauna, thinking it was the famous Instagrammable pool, but there are still outdoor hot tubs there.

Overall, the experience was quite good. The hotel is very close to the beach—only about a five or six-minute walk—and also near the express bus terminal, making it very convenient. The room had a nice ocean view, was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. However, the room design wasn’t very convenient. For example, there were no power outlets by the bed—the only ones were on the TV stand—and the light switches were a bit far from the bed, which made it slightly inconvenient. Overall, though, it was a pleasant stay with great value for money, an excellent location, and satisfying service.

I frequently travel to Gangwon-do and have had the opportunity to stay at numerous accommodations there. Daepho Port is a bit removed from Sokcho city center, so I usually overlooked it, but I finally decided to try it out for the first time this August. The rooms are well-maintained. A significant plus is the abundance of restaurants within walking distance, which made exploring the area quite enjoyable. Typically, hotels in such regions are isolated, limiting guests to on-site facilities or a convenience store unless they drive out. The Ramada, however, boasts many nearby dining options. While the price felt a bit high, as is common in tourist areas, simply walking around and exploring provided enough enjoyment that we didn't feel the need to dine out every time. The presence of Cassia Hotel next door ensures decent foot traffic, and the surroundings feel lively and well-lit, even at night. The room itself is a standard hotel room, well-equipped with a fast charger and plenty of power outlets. Reusable indoor slippers are also provided. I enjoyed my stay so much in August that I returned again this month. Last time, I had a Daepho Port view, and this time I was allocated a partial view facing Lotte Resort. While both were decent, the Lotte Resort view felt a bit obstructed and less open due to the Cassia Hotel partially blocking the line of sight. The Daepho Port view definitely felt more expansive. A minor inconvenience is the extremely narrow ramp leading up to the parking lot, requiring careful driving. The mini-fridge is quite small, and its cooling performance was a bit underwhelming. Additionally, the table is quite low, so you have to hunch over a bit if you're enjoying some 'chimaek' (chicken and beer) in the room. Aside from these minor points, everything else was great, and I definitely plan to stay here again on my next visit.

The room is clean and comfortable, and the staff is very friendly. One of the highlights is watching the sunrise from the hotel’s rooftop, which is a significant advantage. They offer a simple breakfast for those who prefer not to spend time deciding what to eat in the morning. However, if you don’t have a car, the walk from the train station to the hotel can be a bit tiring. Alternatively, you can take a taxi or rely on the bus service, which runs every two or three hours. Overall, this hotel is an excellent choice if you want to spend some time in Jeongdongjin and enjoy the sea.

We decided on the Walkerhill Hotel after much deliberation on a one-night filial piety tour for my parents, who are in their 80s, and my uncle and his wife. We wanted a truly comfortable stay, and the hotel was a great choice. The room was spacious and clean. We especially requested an ocean view, and they loved waking up to the sunrise. The buffet breakfast was also delicious. We're planning another stay in the summer!

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.

Nice clean and comfortable room. Location,close to the beach and the express bus terminal. There is a bus stop right outside with bus to Seoraksan national park. And Sokco city center. About 10-15 min by bus to the center. A few restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Staff is friendly and helpful.Good view from the balcony on high floor rooms. Recommended.

Super value for money! It’s a 8 minutes walk from sokcho express bus terminal. The room is just right for a solo traveller wld be abit of a squeeze but it’s alright for 2 person as well. Super convenient that there’s a microwave at the lobby since Korean restaurants usually don’t cater to solo diners so you would need to takeaway most of the time . Saw in some of the reviews that the elevator takes a long time but the hotel has fixed that! They split the elevators such that there’s 2 elevators for the lower floors and the higher floors. Would definitely come back next time! No toothbrush provided but slippers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and bottled water are available

Appeared to be newly renovated. The rooms were spacious, had a small equipped kitchen, and great a/c. No conditioner for hair and only three hand towels in the bathroom. But really amazing value for the price, esp for families for small kids. There’s a kid zone in the hotel with arcade and fun games and of course water park next door. Starbucks and GS25 in hotel too.
