2-Star Hotels in Gangwon State, South Korea

"We carefully chose this hotel, prioritizing a beautiful view, cleanliness, and amenities. We ended up picking Hotel Around Sokcho, and we haven't regretted it for a moment. We spent two wonderful days here and were absolutely thrilled. Check-in was completely contactless, which was incredibly convenient: we registered immediately via phone, and all the necessary information and access were promptly provided. This was a huge plus, making the check-in process as comfortable and modern as possible. The room itself was simply beautiful—clean, modern, cozy, with a comfortable bed and everything needed for a relaxing stay. When we booked, we specifically requested a room with a nice view, and they truly delivered a room with a stunning view that exceeded all expectations. Our stay here was one of the most comfortable and enjoyable of our entire trip. The sunsets we watched from the window were simply incredible—we took countless beautiful photos for our social media. The hotel's location was also a big plus: everything is nearby—shops, cafes, bus stops, and the sea is very close. This made our stay even more convenient and pleasant. We are so glad we chose this particular hotel. Hotel Around Sokcho left us with the warmest impressions, and we would happily return here again. We recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, style, and an excellent location 🤍"

"The hotel staff were so kind, and I especially found it incredibly convenient to be able to open and close the door with my phone! The beach is less than five minutes away, so it was great for taking walks as well! I am completely satisfied in many ways! I will definitely come back!"

"If you prioritize location, value for money, and ocean views over luxury, Cube Hotel is a place you won't regret staying at. If you are considering accommodation near Gyeongpo Beach in Gangneung, it is a good value option. Although it looks a bit dated, the cleanliness was not bad. Even though it is winter, the floor in the room got warm by evening, likely because they use central heating. I slept well without feeling cold."

"I spent three nights at this hotel located not far from the entrance to Seorak National Park. So let's start at the beginning by stating that this was one of the main criteria that guided my choice and helped me narrow down the wide range of hotels in Sokcho. I wanted to be within easy reach of the reserve since I'm a hiking enthusiast. A word of advice, though: take a taxi, which will likely drop you off below the parking area. This way, you'll be sure to arrive well warmed up before your trekking session. But I'm getting further away from the hotel... A second element, logically related to the above, if, like me, you were looking for a quiet and peaceful place to rest after your workout, you've found it. A true haven of peace... perfect for a good night's sleep, except in exceptional circumstances, since the first night I had a serious snorer, and since the walls aren't very thick... I won't draw you a picture. Breakfast is available by informing reception the night before. For the price, don't miss out. Room cleaning is also available, just request it in the lobby. The rooms are remarkably clean, although not very spacious. But the hotel offers almost all the usual amenities one would expect in addition to the room amenities: toiletries, free 5G internet access, bottled water, French coffee pods (be careful, there's a catch) and green tea... Unfortunately, when it came time to extend my stay by one night to rest in the dry - the weather is very bad in Korea right now - reservations were fully booked due to Chuseok - Korean Thanksgiving - a major family reunion event where ancestors are honored... needless to say, this is also the most difficult time to find accommodation and, of course, the most expensive for us as guests. Prices easily double. Keep this in mind if you come to Korea, and especially if possible, book in advance during the fall holidays. Unfortunately, shortly after booking elsewhere, a room became available... And where I landed, I quickly found myself in a completely different world, with a clientele and atmosphere that were the opposite of what I had so enjoyed at the Amaranth Hotel. So British in a very nice way...isn't it?"

"The self check-in and check-out system was very convenient. I could easily purchase any necessary items from the amenity vending machine at the entrance. Both the room and common areas were clean and well-maintained, making for a pleasant stay. The overall facilities were tidy and in good condition, and having a convenience store nearby was handy for buying anything I needed. In the mornings, I could grab toast, coffee, and juice for a simple self-serve breakfast. What truly enhanced my stay was not just the cleanliness but also the subtle, pleasant fragrance throughout the accommodation. While having parking available was a plus, the parking space felt a bit awkward, which might be inconvenient for less experienced drivers. Overall, I was very satisfied with the cleanliness and convenience of this place, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good value-for-money option."

"The location was great, close to the express bus terminal. I booked an ocean double room and seeing the ocean from the room was so healing. It was my first time in Sokcho, and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay. If I visit again, I would definitely stay here again."

"It's so beautifully decorated and there is a valley right in front of you, so it's great to be able to play in the water right away. The two cats were so nice and nice. I went to the old road of Misiryeong and had a good experience"

"Overall, I'm very satisfied with the hotel. On the first day, I booked a 1.8m king-size bed room, but I was given a room with a 1.5m bed. However, after speaking with them, they upgraded me to a two-bed room for the second day. The room was very spacious, and I particularly liked having a separate entryway. They provided all the necessary disposable toiletries, and even the toilet paper was a good brand. There's a coffee machine on the first floor, so you can grab a coffee anytime. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful."

"The room condition is good, and the bathroom is spacious and pleasant. Walking distance to Dakgalbi Alley, and I did an open run to Legoland (within 10 minutes by car). A place I would like to book again when visiting Chuncheon."
