Hotels Near Apo-El in Gangneung-si

I went on a family trip with four people, including two kids and my wife. The hotel is right next to Gyeongpo Lake. It's close to the sea, great for walking around the lake, and the location is great. Perhaps because the facility is a new building, the room still smells like you would when you moved into a new house. And although I expected it, the room was narrower than it showed in the picture. However, considering the size of a typical hotel room, It's a duplex, so it's wide open, so it's less stuffy or stuff like that. However, the slope of the railing going up to the duplex is a bit high. It can be dangerous to go with very young children. At least a duplex unless your child is in elementary school or older. I would not recommend it if children are concerned about falling. The reason I gave the facility 3 out of 5 is because the railing height is too high and This is because the size of the indoor parking lot is too small. Of course, I was informed that I could use a public parking lot nearby. I parked there, but I have to endure some inconvenience. Other than this, the location and facilities are very good. The rooftop view is especially nice. I think it would have been nice if there was a cafe here so you could have a quick coffee or something. I received friendly guidance when checking in. The service is not directly related to the staff and service. I'm not sure if it's very good or bad. At the level of just going for a trip and sleeping, not a hotel stay. If you're looking for a clean hotel, it doesn't seem like a bad choice.

Decent and nice hotel. Caters to many couples and families who bring along their pet dogs etc. Seen like this is their specialty. Only thing we found strange was that they charge a hefty fee to use the swimming pool, even for hotel guests. The air conditioning also appears less than ideal, being fixed in terms of the temp setting. You cannot change or adjust it- which is not good

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

Camera molto confortevole. Personale sempre attento e disponibile. Ottimo anche il ristorante, Cucina di classe. Cibo di qualità e ben cucinato. Servizio impeccabile. Abbiamo cenato più volte. Abbiamo scelto pollo allo spiedo, cotoletta di maiale, agnello, pesce. Tutti piatti da consigliare. Buona scelta di vini.

First of all, the view is great, and the hotel parking space is ample. (If the Piloti parking space is full, they will open the parking space right next to it for you to use.) The location is good, the facilities are clean, and please prepare all the amenities, including skin, lotion, and hair ties, in detail. . The service was very good and the staff were very friendly, so I had a pleasant trip!

Location for viewing the ocean is fantastic. We stayed 2 nights in the room with ocean view and lake view. Make sure to ask if corner room is available. The room is very clean and tidy. The hotel staff are very courteous and prompt with requests. The view alone deserves 5 stars at this hotel. I would definitely be visiting here again.

Advantages 1. The ocean view is amazing 2. It was nice that there were many towels 3. There were three rooms, so one person slept in each room. 4. It felt like a small apartment and was comfortable (I was seriously considering a long-term stay) 5. Since it was a series of nights, I came in midway after finishing my schedule and wanted to rest for a while, but it was nice that the mess that had been made in the morning was neatly organized. 6. I really like the wooden floor. 7. The refrigerator is very cool (I put a not-so-cold beer in it, and less than 30 minutes have passed, and the beer is very cold) 8. Because it is a double curtain, you can sleep with only the curtain you want (the floor is high, so you don’t have to have a blackout curtain) 9. There was a balcony, so I brought a chair to the balcony to watch the sunrise (very good). disadvantage 1. The towel smells like bleach (it goes away after a while) 2. It seems like the sink and bathtub were not cleaned well (it was rough, so I scrubbed it with my hand and the dirt came out). 3. Elevator... Too late ㅠㅠㅠㅠ It's on the 27th floor, so it takes a long time to wait. 4. The parking lot is at the back, but the ledge at the entrance is a little high and low, so you have to exit slowly. 5. There is not enough parking space compared to the number of rooms. conclusion, I am willing to visit again, but it would be great if the bathtub and sink were cleaned and the towels were cleaned... if only the bleach smell would go away.

Good experience for night stay. Specially Sun rise and sun set view is amazing

The hotel is new and very clean. All the rooms are suites having a loft for luggage or ski gear etc. Bathroom is big and nice. Balcony is a plus. Location is 10 min from the slopes via shuttle bus which runs twice daily. There are 3 restaurants and a coffee shop and some other function rooms. There is also a ski rental shop in the lobby that gives big discounts on rental and ski lifts which we highly recommend. Service is good. The only downsize for us was that the room temperature was too high and could not be adjusted in time for it to cool down for the night. We called the reception every day to ask them to lower down the floor heating but the temperature was still very high, making it difficult to sleep comfortably. Therefore in the first night we opened the balcony door and as a result I caught a cold that lasted for the rest of the holiday. Overall it is a good place to stay.

Hotel tops 10 was a nice hotel on top of a big hill. The service was good and the ameneties were good, we got a big hotel room with a large TV and good view of the water. Unfortunately the hotel is quite isolated from the rest of the town and makes you rely on the hotel for things like food and other attractions. We did not experience any restaurants or the bath house due to our short stay, so unfortunately cannot comment on that. There is a convenience store in side the hotel that we ended up getting our dinner from, which was still good :) overall we wished we had done anything at the hotel if we go again. If you have a car you should be able to go to the town..
