낡은 욕실시설과 옆방소음, 담배냄새까지

욕실이 다소 추웠음. 낡은 건물티가 나는 내부. 침대옆 벽면이 옆 호실 욕실. 문 여닫는 소리, 물사용소리 들려서 깜짝 놀람. 금연객실이라더니, 어디선가 담배연기냄새가 스멀스멀 들어옴.

가성비 굿, 주변 시설 편리

가성비 굿입니다. 모텔이지만 지어진 지 얼마 안되어서 그런지 전반적으로 깔끔하고 홈플러스, 강릉 중앙시장과는 걸어서 5분 거리입니다. 직원들 친절하고 인터넷이 연결된 데스크 탑과 올레 tv시청 가능했고, 침대에서 2명, 바닥이 온돌이어서 바닥에서 1명 잤습니다.

もう少しお値段がお安ければ…

駅からは少し歩きますが、まぁまぁ便利な立地です。 ホームプラス、中央市場なども近いです。 いわゆるモーテルですが、掃除などはきちんとされていて快適でした。 オリンピックのすぐあとだったからでしょうか、少しお値段が高かったのが残念です。 （しかし、ここだけでなく他のところもすごく高かったので…） バスタブはなくシャワーのみでしたが、斜め前くらいにサウナがあり利用しました。

Hotel service minimum de qualité

L'hotel a un service minimum (MOTEL oblige) cependant les produit qu'il fournit sont très honnêtes. La chambre est propre, lorsque l'on check-in on nous donne une trousse avec des éléments basiques gratuits. Une télévision est présente dans la chambre ainsi qu'une chaidière pour l'eau. La fenêtre est petite et ne peut être ouverte. La location est très bonne à 10 minutes de la gare de Gangneung avec beaucoup de magasin à côté includant un McDonald's©. Le check out se fait à midi comme partout en Corée du Sud ce qui laisse beaucoup plus de temps qu'en Europe. Le prix est vraiment très compétitif pour cette qualité.

그냥 저렴한 호텔!

나름 필요한 것들을 갖추고 최대한 일회용품도 구비되었으나 흡연, 검은 자욱이 선명한 도배지 등 좋은 인상을 받지는 못했어요....

Olympic Scam ! Not even deserve to list

Even though it was the Olympic, means everything went up very high, I was really stupid to pay that amount to this place. (1) It was very difficult to unlock the key, I needed a special skill and a patience. (2) Most of employees, may be a family?, couldn't speak English, couldn't communicate. Even a mam rose the voice to me when I asked him a question. Very unfriendly, unprofessional. (3) Room Cleaning: There was not sign of "Do not disturb" etc... First day. they didn't come, which was OK for me, and the next day they did. I hope they should have any tag to tell maids they could clean the room or not. (4) There were nobody at the front desk in the night, but the door was widely open. Luck of Security. (5) The building seemed like the one which had not been renovated for ages. The pension I stayed a week after this was much much nicer, very organized, good Security, their was lounge with free coffee/tea. Big difference!

駅から歩ける以外はちょっと。。。

いわゆるラブホです。繁忙期はこの辺りでは観光目的の旅行者も泊まっています。 が、やはり自分はもう泊まらないと思います。遠くても普通のホテルか民泊のが良いです。 駅から歩けるけどネオン街で歌舞伎町のような所。個人的に大丈夫という人もいるかもですが。 オリンピック目的だったので宿泊先が少なく、値段も通常の７倍はしたかと思います。 まだ安ければ納得ですが、４つ星泊まれる値段で、さびれたラブホではお話になりません。

オリンピック期間は高かった

決して快適な満足する宿とは言えないが、必要最低限は足りる。タオルも普通の洗濯機で回しただけなのがあからさまでペラペラ、使う気にならない。持参して良かった。 ピンク街にあるので、逆に深夜も明るくて歩けたし、オリンピック会場へのシャトル乗り場に近道できたのは良かった。 オリンピック期間、値段が高かった！

Skip it

I was VERY unhappy with this hotel. I made a reservation for more than a 1 week stay during a major local event and I ended up staying for only 1 night and moving to a different hotel. I thought it was dirty. The bath towels were only hand towel sized. There were half-used toiletries left for the guests to use, including a half tube of toothpaste in the shower and a can of bug spray next to a can of hairspray. The hotel was not wheelchair accessible, which meant I could not get my stroller inside without lugging it up steps to the front door. I couldn't really get my stroller around the hotel and into the room, either. I wanted to stay at the hotel since it was supposed to have a 24-hour front desk, but no one was manning it, most of the time, plus it was glassed off so you had to speak through a little window like a bank teller. The lighting in the room was awkward. The reading light has a red bub...??? I wasn't expecting much from the hotel...I understood I was getting what I paid for but it was worse than I thought it would be.

ぼったくり価格

周りの環境も酷く、広い部屋にしてくれたが、あまりにもぼったくり価格。オリンピック期間とはいえ、ひど過ぎ。キャンセルしても返金されないので、泣く泣く泊まった。バスルームも使う気にならず、近くのチンムジルバンに行った。
