Motels in Gangwon State, South Korea

The room and bathroom was clean and wide. There was heating in the room, Netflix, amenities for comfortable stay. As I saw, there is a free breakfast in the morning for the guests (except Mondays), so I couldn’t try it but I was absolutely satisfied with the room.

I had a very pleasant stay at Hotel Brown Dot Cheorwon Dong and would gladly return in the future. From the moment I arrived, the property gave off a clean, modern, and well cared for impression. The lobby was tidy and inviting, and the overall atmosphere felt calm and comfortable. My room was spacious enough to relax in after a long day, and it was equipped with all the essentials I needed for a convenient stay. The bed was especially comfortable, the linens were fresh, and the room remained quiet throughout the night, which made it easy to rest well. The staff also made a strong positive impression. Every team member I encountered was polite, friendly, and ready to help with any questions or requests. Check-in was quick and efficient, and check-out was just as smooth, which made the entire experience feel effortless. It is always nice when a hotel combines good service with a stress-free process. Another highlight was the location. The hotel is conveniently situated near restaurants, convenience stores, and several local points of interest, making it easy to get around without much trouble. Whether I was heading out for a meal or returning after sightseeing, the location worked very well as a base for my trip. Overall, Hotel Brown Dot Cheorwon Dong offers excellent value for money. It provides clean accommodations, comfortable rooms, and dependable service in a convenient setting. I would recommend it to both business and leisure travelers who want a peaceful, practical, and enjoyable place to stay. I especially appreciated the reliable Wi-Fi, the easy parking, and the sense of security throughout the property. Small details like these made the stay even more comfortable and convenient, and they added to the overall impression that this hotel is thoughtfully managed and consistently guest focused throughout.

No tea bags or coffee sachets provided, which is a bit weird.  Water pressure for shower is way too weak.  No room cleaning services, leaving alone having your new towels put outside your room in the morning. Only 4 lifts serving way too many hotel stayers, resulting in long waiting lines and thus, time.  Views are magnificient however.  The room is so massive and the balconies are spacious.

The hotel is located 3 streets away from the ktx station, not more than 10mins walk with heavy luggage. And 20mins walk to the Jungang Market & shopping districts. Plenty of bus stops around the hotel. Convenient store around the corner. The two guy receptions I met during my stay were super friendly and helpful even though they don't speak much English, and I felt very welcomed. The basic room was perfect for solo travellers, may be slightly tight for a couple. Everything was clean and well maintained. There is not only a hairdryer, but also a straightener provided in the room. The shower's water pressure was good, and had an electric bidet. Bed was just right, streets weren't noisy at night, and I had a comfortable sleep throughout my stay. The housekeeping lady was lovely and taught me how to operate the A/C. Probably just the TV was hard to use as it was all in Korean (but should be able to connect with Netflix). There are public PCs and washing-dryer machines with detergent provided at the lobby, and a lounge stocked up with instant noodles, breads etc. Everything mentioned above is free for guests - a big plus! Just right opposite the hotel there is a potato soup restaurant - which is the best food I had in gangneung! I definitely want to be back, and recommend to anyone making a trip to gangneung.

Great location: 5min walk from gangneung ktx station, eateries nearby, a convenience store right at the corner, walking distance or take bus to the central market. Central area but quiet neighbourhood. Comfy environment: Hotel is very neat and clean, looks very new and smell nice once you step in entrance. Self-check-in. P.S. i only found out after check-out that guests may choose the aroma oil at the lobby n bring it to room :] nice Flow-er experience 🌺😌 Nice amenities: Reserved the spa n movie room while the room is equipped with projector n soundbar, n you get to control different lighting setup with tv remote control, pretty cool! Good time watching some kdrama n hot bath after long journey to spend the night. Love the fact that shower water is strong n hot enough which is very essential for me. One downside is that the light of the ac and wifi router keep flashing at night and may affect if you are a light sleeper… everything else is great. I love how they have usb-a ports n also wireless charging! You can also borrow extra amenities like charging cable n hair straightener at each floor locker cabinet. Luggage Storage Available after check-in/after check-out at each floor or lobby behind the water/coffee/refreshment section. Overall, highly recommend with such price👍🏿

I booked this room last minute for a weekend getaway, and initially, I worried it might be too big for me and the kids. But it turned out great! We had plenty of space to play with toys and just relax on the floor, making our one-night stay very comfortable. The building is a bit old, but it seems well-maintained inside, so there weren't any major inconveniences. However, I was quite put off to find leftover ice cream from a previous guest in the freezer. Also, the fireworks at night were so loud that I had to close all the windows, but then an old, stuffy smell filled the room. So, I ended up opening all the windows again in the early morning to sleep. On the bright side, having a convenience store and restaurant right in front was a huge plus. I'd definitely consider staying here again!

The owner was super kind and friendly! We came in to drop our bags, and they allowed us to check in wayy earlier than we were supposed to. For the price that I paid, I am VERY impressed with the room facilities. It was spacious, there were water dispensers and microwave on every level. The Microwave needs a bit of cleaning though. But my room and toilet was SUPER clean. I wished that they prepared normal sized towel, because we were only provided with a 'face towel'. But that's not a big issue. Location was okay, maybe 5-10 minutes walk (depending on the zebra crossings) to the nearest bus stop/metro. After checking out, owner also allowed us to leave out bags in her house (ground floor of the motel). She was very friendly. She can speak Korean and Chinese (Not English, but you can use Papago). Motel's location is also very near to a few cafes, a GS25, and restaurants. So it was very easy to have breakfast or dinner. Also walking distance to shopping area (Myeongdong-gil). That area also had MANY photobooth spots, a big Olive young. Conclusion: location was amazing!

A pleasant place for a short stay. It's a bit ”out of the central area” but a 30 minute walk to the station. Rooms have a small kitchette but lacking basic crockery etc. A convenience store next door is useful. Our room was on 11th floor so away from street noice and with lovely sunset views over the city and mountains

To be honest.. all's good. Just 2 mini grumbles.. 1. I suppose because they do generally allow their guests to smoke in the room, i can still smell the tabacco lingering. Not the best smell through the nights there. 2. No lifts. Thankfully my luggage is not heavy this round so its still manageable else i could foresee an issue lugging it up and down the stairs. Now.. the pros..! 1. It is very clean. Bathroom attached which its great. 2. Room size is okie for 2. Has tv, wifi, lots of plugs.. facial care as well actually.. and a rather nice-smelling diffuser. Spacious even, to put 1 luggage. Theres a heater and aircon unit ( of cuz not needed in this winter season) 3. Bathroom is spacious. There's towels provided. Shampoo, bodywash and toothpaste even! Abundant hot water. 4. A stone throw away from the bus terminal. Less than 5mins walk. Loads of eateries, cafes and even a diaso. Oh and the market. 5. Small town.. so everywhere's walkable. Quiet, slow-paced town. Awesome to chill here.

Family half-ocean view, king-sized room. It was a bit pricey since it was peak season, but the ocean is right in front, and there's a convenience store on the first floor. It was also convenient to walk to nearby restaurants (mostly sashimi places). They provided two towels per person and bottled water for everyone in the fridge. There were also five pairs of slippers. I slept soundly without any noise, so the soundproofing must be good! The location was great, and I had a very comfortable stay.
