Top 5-Star Hotels in Gangneung-si

The room was clean and the service was good. The amenities were also good in the vicinity of the hotel with there being a sauna as well as multiple pools

It’s a great hotel that provides a lot of services. You don’t need to go outside but there are no toothbrushes in the room which I thought was going to be part of the package

Our check-in was pretty straightforward, no surprise since we stayed here in the past, staff are pretty cold and disinterested, not rude, just cold. My family enjoyed the last trip so we returned. Our room was as expected, with one exception, the mini kitchen was supplied with utensils, and pots and pans previously, not anymore. The hotel has an interesting HVAC system, the twin suites have a master bedroom loft, and adjacent bed over looking the ocean, very beautiful and relaxing, unfortunately the hotel switched the A/C off and put the heating system on, this made the loft area very warm, I tried to adjust the multiple thermostat controls, but was unaware the AC main was off. The in room phone system was turned off, so the only option was to trek up to the main desk. The front desk clerk and I went back and forth with translators, till I got the Heating system information. I thanked the clerk and headed back to reverse the thermostat settings which did help, along with leaving the glass door to the ocean patio open. Crisis averted, the sounds of the ocean was blissful. The next day we returned to a nicely cleaned suite until I noticed a large piece of chewed gum left on the display shelf, trust me it was gross, I asked my family if anyone left this? I knew the answer before asking, no one in my family are gum chewers. It then became clear the someone in house cleaning left it there, never seen that before on all my travels. When checking out I mentioned the AC/Heater issue as well as the chewing gum issue, and to no surprise to me, there was no interest, discussion or maybe even a halfhearted we apologized for the inconvenience? Nope not at Sun Cruise, the clerk just motioned for the next person in line, I actually laughed, shook my head a little and headed out the door. The one positive thing we took away was, we unanimously decided to never return to Sun Cruise,

The location was good. The hotel was impressive. However, the rooms were a little tight. The worse thing was the air-conditioning which didn't work. Don't know if the temperature is all centrally set or what?Other than that, (the air-conditioning issue) it was a very nice stay. The staff were very good. Some of them spoke English perfectly, which is fantastic. They were also very helpful, which we appreciated.

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

It’s very good with God’s ratio〰️💫 The cleanliness is good, the parking lot is spacious, but the soundproofing is not very good. I could hear the couple(?) fighting next door very clearly, so I turned the song up really loud.

Not far from downtown Gangneung. The view of the Korean fishing village is right rather than the sea view. The view of the sea with a small harbor is also ok. Sunrise in the morning. The order itself is small, but it is central to it, so it is a good choice for walking nearby restaurants. As other reviews say, the runner window is narrow. If you come in late, you should stop on the nearby roadside. There is a convenience store right across the street. The interior is clean. The bed is not inconvenient and the noise is blocked well. Good to have a veranda and a comfortable chair. The condition itself is evaluated by the middle of the motel and the hotel. There is about 30% of the atmosphere of the motel. ^^ Still quite a decent hostel.

Cozy, the two of you have a good stay! There is a 24-hour convenience store right next to it, and you can see the sea. It's so nice! It was cold, but the boiler kept running and I played well on the floor. I don't know how many cooking utensils there are because I haven't cooked barbecues or food, but shampoo, hair dryer, and toothpaste and toothbrush disposable were good! One unfortunate thing is that there is a bed on the second floor, but the ceiling part going down the stairs is very low! It says watch your head, but it would be better if you put something like a prevention pad on the corner to prevent accidents! I was aware that the ceiling was low, but I felt like my head would break right away if I let go of my mind... haha The accommodation was so clean, cozy, and nice! The TV is also very big and looks good. Thanks to you, I watched soccer well on the big screen!

I took a taxi from a restaurant around the station and took 18000 won at 7 o'clock at night. This price in Korea would have been quite far. There is no around the hotel, but is it okay? And the taxi driver also told me. Is it good for those who want to be quiet and slow? The front desk seems to be not 24 hours and has been sent about check-in time by email in advance. The room is quite unique and has a pretty deep bathtub. It is a warm room because it has on dollar.

In an apartment hotel, you have two bedrooms and one living room, and it also has a kitchen and a washing machine, which is very convenient. There are quite a lot of guests even on weekdays during your stay. There is a seaside downstairs of the hotel, and there are distant mountains behind the hotel. The scenery is pretty good.
