We had a wonderful budget stay with 8 family members. Enough space for social time, good breakfasts and hosts. Gangneung has a lot to offer, the local markets, churches, historical buildings plus lots of good eateries nearby & over the seaside. Just keep your eyes open. We don't speak korean but everyone was friendly & helpful. Bus access is nearby though we drove mostly as a group. Just be mindful that you may need to stay out between 1000-1500 for it's cleaning time.
Although it was hostel, the room had a private bathroom. Only thing was the shower has no divider to toilet. So, the floor gets wet after the shower. The owner couple was very nice and hospitable. We were a big group, so it was nice to have a dinning room to hangout.
Keurig en uitmuntend verzorgd pension vlak buiten het commerciële centrum (op loopafstand of met de bus eenvoudig te bereiken). Het echtpaar dat het hier runt is ontzettend aardig, en maakte iedere ochtend een geweldig Koreaans ontbijt voor me. Werkelijk een fantastisch verblijf; simpel, maar zeer schoon en keurig verzorgd. Ideaal voor mijn bezoek aan Gangneung. Van harte aanbevolen!
