"The hotel was alright. It was very convenient for us since we drove, and the parking lot was large and free. If you were walking, it would probably be difficult as there's a big hill to climb. The room and facilities were good, and the view was also nice. However, the service was just okay. On the first day, a Korean lady at the front desk insisted we check out at 11 AM and then check in again in the afternoon for our second night. This was because we had booked two separate one-night reservations as only single-night availability was shown at the time of booking. However, on the second day, a middle-aged man at the front desk simply gave us the key card for our new room when we checked out of the first."

Experience a special retreat where comfort and sophistication come together at Wyndham Goseong, Gangwon, boasting ocean views from every guest room.
"I booked through Trip.com, but the front desk staff couldn't find my reservation, so I had to wait for about 10 minutes. I even showed them my phone with the voucher, but they still couldn't find it. Finally, when they did, they claimed they could only search by name and that my name was inverted, which is why they couldn't find it. If they can only search by name, then why bother issuing a reservation number?
What was even more absurd was that they gave me room 1914 in Building A, but it turned out to be a non-existent room. I was so confused wandering around the 19th floor, which only goes up to room 1912. I had to go back down to inquire, and they casually told me they had given me the wrong room number and that it was actually 1904. The staff's attitude throughout all this was incredibly nonchalant, as if it was none of their business. It's unbelievable that this is the attitude of 5-star hotel front desk staff. Wow, I'm never going back!"

Guest UserThe hotel room was clean, big and comfortable. I had lake view. The hotel is located near the lake, the beach and restaurants as well as convenience stores and bus stops. Gangneung Coffee Street is a bus drive of 15 minutes away. However, I was shocked when the staff informed me about the admission fee for the swimming pool: 30.000 korean won!!!! It is not mentioned on Trip.com neither ***********. Anyway, the admission fee is far too high. I have chosen the hotel for its swimming pool. Next time in Gangneung, I will choose another hotel: this hotel only offered a clean and comfortable room, for a high price, but Gangneung has many hotels with clean and comfortable rooms, that are also located nearby the beach, lake, restaurants and bus stops, but for a better price.

I had a very comfortable stay for three nights in Gangneung, thanks to how clean and well-maintained the accommodation was.
The breakfast was fairly simple, but more than enough to start the day, and I especially appreciated the sense of space, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and comfortable.
Getting around was easy whether by bus or taxi, and the location made it convenient to visit nearby attractions like Ojukheon and Jungang Market. For those travelling by car, the spacious parking area is definitely a big plus.
There’s also a lovely pine forest path just behind the property, perfect for a quiet stroll. The ocean view from the room really added to the holiday atmosphere, and being able to enjoy both the sunrise and sunset was one of the highlights of staying at Shilla Monogram.

For a one-night stay costing around 600,000 KRW (with check-in at 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM), I arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes before the official check-in time to secure my place in line. Despite this, it was already past 3 PM by the time it was my turn. When I explained the situation to a staff member who appeared to be a manager, I was curtly told that check-in was strictly by order of arrival and nothing could be done. My turn at the front desk finally came about 5 minutes after the official check-in time.
Upon collecting my pre-purchased breakfast coupons, I was informed that only the first and last of the three available time slots remained, forcing me to choose between them. Eventually, I did receive a call that a spot had opened up for the middle breakfast time, and I was able to exchange my coupon. However, the entire system felt very confusing and inefficient.
On a positive note, hotel guests have complimentary access to the facilities. The room and the view, however, were absolutely magnificent.

The overall facilities and environment are decent, but the check-in and check-out times are completely unreasonable. You can't check in until 3 PM, yet someone was knocking on the door by 11 AM the next morning to rush us out, and they were quite rude about it, which really soured the experience. On top of that, the air conditioning in the room couldn't be adjusted, making it very inconvenient. I really hope the hotel can improve its service procedures and room amenities.

I didn't have high expectations when we arrived, but we ended up having a fantastic 2-night, 3-day stay. We had booked a room in the hotel wing, and it was conveniently close to Ocean Play. The facilities were excellent, so we had plenty to keep us entertained without even leaving the hotel. Our room was also clean, and the baby crib and bathtub we requested were provided and very useful.

Guest UserThe stay was absolutely fantastic! From the sea-view room, I could watch the sunrise right from my balcony in the morning. It's a pet-friendly hotel, and I loved seeing so many adorable pets around. It's super convenient for dining and coffee shops nearby, and just walking along the beach was incredibly relaxing. Definitely worth another visit!

Posted on Feb 18, 2024|Superior Triple Room
Guest UserExcellent stay. Better than expected. I was worried that it would be crowded at the lobby/ common areas due to proximity to casino which was not a preference. The lobby of convention hotel is grand, peaceful and modern.
I was also worried that it would be inconvenient to reach the ski slopes however the shuttle buses were frequent and you can get to the slopes quickly. The bus stop drop off point is right outside the ticket office for ski passes
Hotel service was welcoming and superb from check in/out to housekeeping. As foreigners we received discount coupons for ski rental and pass. View from room was nice and loved the cream and shower gel etc. Room service was quick and portions are huge. Also how it was delivered was really good too with the robot.
Overall very good and comfortable stay.

This resort is great! It's not crowded at all, even on the slopes, so we had a truly relaxing vacation. Getting to the ski resort was super easy and convenient. We were lucky enough to catch the tail end of the spring snow, which made my child incredibly happy. The breakfast spread was excellent, and they even had good quality packaged juices and yogurts. It's really an ideal spot for beginner skiers to settle in.
