Gangneung Hotel Top 10, Partial Ocean View with Good Value
This time, I made a reservation at #HotelTopSten, which is a little bit away from downtown Gangneung.
Originally, I was planning to enjoy a vacation at St. John's, which is considered the best hotel in Gangneung,
but the price of the St. John's Ocean View room was
about twice that of the HotelTopSten Partial Ocean View room.
I thought it would be more efficient to save a little on accommodation and increase my travel expenses,
so I did that,
but in the end, I was very satisfied.
This #Gangneung trip was a little short,
and I didn't want to worry too much about blog posts,
so unfortunately, there aren't many pictures,
but I'll try to share my own experiences,
and make this post meaningful :D
HotelTopSten is about 30-40 minutes away from downtown Gangneung by car.
There is a shuttle bus, but if you go by car or rental car,
you will be able to have a more meaningful trip.
I read a lot of reviews saying that there are not many places to play or eat around the hotel,
so I arrived late after spending the whole day in Gangneung city and the ocean.
There were no street lights and the road was under construction,
so driving at night was a bit scary.
On the other hand, I was able to drive along the coastal road in the morning,
which felt very beautiful and nice.
In front of the restaurant located on the lobby floor of Topsten Hotel,
they sell pretty good wines,
but the prices were a bit high for me.
They also sell wine in the basement convenience store,
but if you are considering daily wine, I recommend the convenience store.
The room I booked this time was a deluxe queen,
since it is located at the corner of the 14th floor building,
it is classified as a partial ocean view.
The room doesn't look big in the picture,
but it was actually quite spacious and the TV was very big. Haha
The bedding on the queen-size bed was in excellent condition.
However, there is no place to plug in the USB or power cord next to the bed,
so it is inconvenient to charge your phone.
If it was completed in 2017,
the power supply part
would have been considered and installed...
The air conditioning and heating system seem to be old-fashioned,
so this part is also a bit disappointing.
There was no inconvenience in using it,
but when considering long-term operation,
there were many cases where the inside smelled bad.
There was a table and chair inside the spacious room,
so it was good to enjoy a simple accompaniment in the room.
Overall, the hotel's atmosphere
The inside of the room was old, but there were no frills,
but it felt cozy.
The parking lot was spacious, and the auxiliary facilities were good,
so it would be a good hotel to stay for 2-3 days.
However, since the hotel is located in a high altitude,
there is a disadvantage that it is difficult to go out and play outside the hotel,
so please refer to it :)
I personally had a great rest and play!
