Gangneung Apart Hotels

"A brand new hotel with great potentials but for now service needs to be improved. They seem to be having problems of communications. (i) I asked missing chairs in the room for my husband’s work right after check in (yes, table was there), it didn’t arrive until we came back from dinner. He ended up seating uncomfortably on the bed with labtop and note pads to finish the work. (ii) pool booking for our big family was about multiple phone calls. (iii) breakfast was charged twice. I fixed it with breakfast desk (they were very nice) but regardless when checking out, it was still charged twice. Another downside is that the overly crowded pool has 4 time slots to use per day with mandatory break of every 50 minutes- a reason why I don’t stay at Grand Hyatt Seou anymore. Locals seem to be okay with this concept but if you are not local, be informed. Now the upside is that the breakfast was excellent and the chefs at each station were very nice and friendly. Though when it comes to service again, we had to ask a few times for the server to clean up the used dishes. And there is no water service so you need to get your own and kids’ water. "

"Beautiful views! We loved our room at the SL Hotel Gangneung as they were spacious, very clean and comfortable and they had amazing views! The buffet breakfast was a big bonus. Overall an excellent stay!"

"The hotel is right at the beach, which is great. The beach itself has a toilet facility nearby. The hotel has been renovated recently, and everything is clean. There is a CU on the first floor which is another big plus. The only minus is that restaurants are about 5-10 minute walk. "

"Good location to beach and beach park and multiple convenience stores. Was clean but a little dated. Worked for my purposes. Make sure you show up during their check-in hours otherwise there may not be anyone there to check you in and you’d have to call for assistance. No wifi during my stay, the router wasn’t powered when I first showed up and even though I updated it to be plugged directly into the wall the setup wasn’t done correctly for my room. It was fine, just didn’t have wifi during my stay. "

"Great location, friendly staffs. Room was clean. "

"The hotel is nothing fancy but it is clean, right by the sea, and has many restaurants nearby. I liked it."

"That place was convenient to move here and there, and first of all price was low and breakfast was excellent."

"Great staff, beautiful ocean view, and clean amenities. "

"Very nicely decorated hotel. Only thing is they do not provide basic utensil (e.g., tea spoons) and charge rental for that. Although there is a kitchen, basically you can't use the kitchen as it has nothing (e.g., knife, scissor). There is also not a lot of food around, we ended up buying instant meal from the 24/7 convenient store. Tips: bring your own food/utensil if you plan to stay here."
