Hello, Happy Dream Life is here. For those who are preparing for a vacation in Gangneung, South Korea and who are considering staying at a hotel, I will talk about the following hotels: Seamarq vs Skybay Hotel Gyeongpo vs Tops 10 Hotels & Resorts.
SEAMARQ
Address: Sea Mark Hotel, 406beon-gil, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do.
Phone #: 82-33-650-7000
Many Korean people go to Gangneung, Gangwon-do for domestic summer vacation. As KTX train goes to Gangneung station, there are naturally more tourists and many good hotels. Let's take a look at each of the hotels that many people consider a lot, starting with the Seamarq Hotel.
First of all, as you can see on the map above, the Seamarq hotel can be said to be relatively close to Gangneung station and is located near Gyeongpoho lake.
The exterior is quite neat and the scenery is nice.
This is the lobby. As you can see in the picture, it feels quite neat and luxurious.
It's pool. It's so nice as if I'm abroad.
Room
Rooms are composed of Premium Deluxe, Gallery Double, and Suite.
Premium Deluxe
Let's take a look at the premium deluxe first. The ocean view of the premium deluxe room, the lowest level at the Seamarq hotel, is really good. However, the price of hotel accommodation is so high that it is true that even if you try to sleep in the lowest-level room, the price is burdensome for ordinary people.
The room condition was quite clean and luxurious.
The bathroom is clean.
I think it's kind of weird that the bathtub is next to the bed.
This is the ocean view from my room. I think it's always good to see the sea.
Presidential Suite
Other room types are not much different from my personal opinion, so I'll go straight to the Presidential Suite.
Ho An Jae is a hanok that is really big, and this place is a place that foreigners and elderly people will like, so we will skip this.
The Presidential suite is really big, though in any hotel.
The bedroom is really luxurious, and the ocean view is really good.
I really like this bathroom.
Summary: At first, I was very surprised that there was such a good hotel in a region other than Seoul, South Korea. If you go there, you can see why people consider the Seamarq hotel when they visit and stay in Gangneung. There's nothing particularly flawless, so I'd like to give 5 points out of 5.
Skybay Hotel Gyeongpo
Address: 476 coastal road in Gangneung, Gangwon-do.
Phone#: 82-507-1441-8903
The Sky Bay Hotel Gyeongpo is also located near the Seamarq hotel. It is located near Gangneung Station and near Gyeongpoho Lake.
If you go to Gyeongpoho lake, there is a striking exterior, which is the Sky Bay Hotel Gyeongpo.
Shall we go straight to the room?
Room
In the case of rooms, they are composed of Deluxe, Executive, Junior Suite, Ambassador Suite, Royal Suite, Imperial Suite, and Presidential Suite.
Deluxe
I really like that the bed is clean, and the ocean view is good.
I thought that the size of the room was similar to that of other hotels. The bathroom condition was good, too.
Presidential Suite
Personally, I don't feel much merit in other rooms, so I'll go straight to the Presidential suite.
Personally, the Presidential suite is large and has many rooms, but it was difficult to feel particularly luxurious.
Summary: Although it is a 5-star class, I felt that luxury was lacking compared to the nearby Seamarq Hotel. However, considering the cost-effectiveness, I want to give a high score, so I want to give 4 out of 5.
Tops 10 Hotels & Resorts
Address: 455-34, Heonhwa-ro, Okgye-myeon, Gangneung-si, Gangwon-do.
Phone#: 82-33-530-4800
In the case of Tops 10 Hotels & Resorts, unlike the Seamarq hotel and Sky Bay Hotel Gyeongpo, which I introduced above, it can be seen that it is located in a remote place. The flaw is that transportation is inconvenient because it is far from Gangneung station.
Room
Rooms are composed of Deluxe, Korean ondol, and Suites.
Deluxe
In the case of Tops 10 Hotels & Resorts, it is far from luxury, is large in size, and is relatively inexpensive, so I felt strongly that it is a hotel that competes at a cost-effectiveness.
The bathroom was normal as you can see in the picture above.
The ocean view was good.
In the case of other room types, there is no significant differences other than the size, so we will end with this.
Summary: If you are looking for a quiet place and a hotel with good cost-effectiveness with a 4-star rating, I recommend Tops 10 Hotels & Resorts. I'd like to give 4 out of 5.
Many people are thinking about St. John's Hotel, but if you want to see the review, please click below.
Have a great day.
