Hotels Near Arte Museum Valley Gangneung in Gangneung-si

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

Room was very clean and nice. Location is also very nice, close to the beach and very convenient to go around by taking uber.

The check-in time is 15 pm. So, it’s not convenient for people who arrive earlier. And they didn’t provide toothbrushes and toothpaste. Overall, everything is good except the above two facts!

The room was clean, and since we chose an ocean view, the view from the balcony was beautiful. The staff were also very kind when we checked in and when we used the gym. It was summer, so insects gathered on the balcony at night, and I didn't know what kind of creatures were making noises, but they wouldn't stop crying all night and I had a shallow sleep (lol), but I guess that's unavoidable in any hotel in the middle of nature. On the other hand, even though I've gotten used to waking up late because of the cries I ignored, I was able to get up early and take an early morning walk along the sea and around the lake. The location by the sea is really perfect for refreshing. I'd like to use the machine again if there is one.

Very nice and clean modern facility, comfortable bed and convenient location with much to offer. The staff are very helpful even with the language barrier but they do their best to assist and help with finding stuff around town. Very clean rooms and comfortable beds. I was here during the wildfire and strong winds and hotel staff put the patrons safety above all else and assist. Highly recommend this hotel for a safe enjoyable stay

Hotel is about 5 mins drive from Central train station. Helpful and curteous staff spoke fluent English. Allocated room has a 16 metres long glass window provided great parabolic view. Room was clean and facilities are great.

I came on a trip without a plan and made a reservation on the first day in a hurry It was so good! So I made a reservation for the second day right away It was really good because it felt like renting a resort with two rooms and a living room for the price My family will stay here again when we travel to Gangneung!! The infinity pool is not big, but it was clean and warm~^^

Clean, new facility but lacks a few amenities. Only two bottles of water in the mini fridge, doesn't have basic charging cables for phones. If I am paying a certain amount of money, I expect those things personally. Overall a nice place to spend an evening.

The hotel is beautiful. We booked ocean view and we have Amazing view of the sunset and the ocean. There are some restaurants nearby. The beach is clean and beautiful. Although the water is freezing in May we had a fantastic time in Suncruise hotel. The restaurant serves delicious breakfast and dinner. Rooms are clean. Bed is very comfortable. Highly recommended!

The hotel is located very high up. It's a 4-star hotel with a large lobby and a nice smell. It felt well-managed and there was a convenience store, karaoke, table tennis room, hot springs, and a swimming pool inside. It's good for a vacation. It was a pity that I only stayed for one night. I thought there was no view. I was a little embarrassed. The concrete floor in front is vast. Anyway, since I came at night, I didn't have time to see the view from inside the room. At night, the ocean view is the same, so I think it's not bad. ㅎㅎ I want to go there again.
