4-Star Hotels in Gangwon State, South Korea

Nice hotel well situated by the night market, Abai Village and Rodeo Drive. Easy to walk around and explore. The rooms was well kept with no issues. Only downside was lack of parking. They will try to accommodate you so you won't be stuck, but was inconvenient.

The room's cleanliness was generally good, but the hotel's location is quite far from the city center, which is really inconvenient without a car. It was hard to get an Uber, but thankfully the front desk staff were great; they helped me call taxis a few times and were very patient, which I appreciate! The hotel is part of a resort. I had fried chicken downstairs, but for other meals, I took a taxi to the city, which cost nearly 100 RMB per trip. If you're staying at the hotel, you get a 10% discount at Ocean Play; remember to mention your room number when buying tickets at the front desk. It's divided into a sauna and a swimming pool. I mistakenly went to the outdoor area of the sauna, thinking it was the famous Instagrammable pool, but there are still outdoor hot tubs there.

Overall, the experience was quite good. The hotel is very close to the beach—only about a five or six-minute walk—and also near the express bus terminal, making it very convenient. The room had a nice ocean view, was spacious, clean, and comfortable. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. However, the room design wasn’t very convenient. For example, there were no power outlets by the bed—the only ones were on the TV stand—and the light switches were a bit far from the bed, which made it slightly inconvenient. Overall, though, it was a pleasant stay with great value for money, an excellent location, and satisfying service.

Amazing views and spacious room as listed. A little bit disappointing as they don’t provide much amenities and room service, other than it was up to my expectations. Me and my partner was in the corner paranoma suite room and the ocean views are unblocked. You can see the sunrise right infront of the bed. Location was very convenient, many seafood restaurants nearby and transportation is easy. Free parking if you are staying.

It appears to be newly renovated with work still being completed beyond the lobby. Everything was clean and the room was in great shape. Only downside was no bed. They had futon for us to sleep on, which is normally not too bad, but the floor was not designed for it and the futon was thin, so didn't make for a comfortable rest. Can't help but to think they didn't have enough beds for their opening...

We decided on the Walkerhill Hotel after much deliberation on a one-night filial piety tour for my parents, who are in their 80s, and my uncle and his wife. We wanted a truly comfortable stay, and the hotel was a great choice. The room was spacious and clean. We especially requested an ocean view, and they loved waking up to the sunrise. The buffet breakfast was also delicious. We're planning another stay in the summer!

Everything was clean and the staff was so polite. They didn’t rush me out of the room. The photos match the actual room so I was happy about that. The pool and views were amazing. Thank you so much. Will come again. I also loved the location as it’s easy for travelers without cars. I didn’t get a chance to have breakfast as I woke up late but hopefully next time 😊

This was a very pleasant place to stay before and after a hike in Seoraksan National Park. Lovely view from the balcony. Very clean and comfortable, and helpful staff! Very convenient location. The local bus to the national park is right across the street from the hotel, and the hotel is 10 minutes walk from the express bus terminal. I was pleasantly surprised by a washing machine in the room, which was great to clean my muddy clothes after my hike (you'll need your own laundry detergent). The room had a kitchenette with sink, hot plate, and full-size refrigerator and freezer. The only problem is there was no pot or pan to use on the hot plate, so I could not actually use it to warm my food (unless I would travel with my own pot)! It would be nice if the room provided a hair dryer and if the hotel had some breakfast option. The cafe downstairs offers only drinks, not food, and doesn't open until 11 a.m. The entryway light is motion activated, and there are many electronic buttons and panels around the room that emit light, so if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, you will have to cover your eyes with a sleep mask. Also note that it you close the sliding door between the bed and living area while the air conditioning is on, it will prevent the cold air from reaching the part of the room where the thermostat is located, so the air conditioner will remain on indefinitely, and the sleeping area will get very cold. The various panels for lights and temperature were a bit difficult to understand. English labels would be helpful. But the receptionist was helpful and came up to my room to show me how to use the air conditioning. The USB port on the nightstand worked some of the time and sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out if there was a switch or setting somewhere in the room to make it work, or if it was just malfunctioning.

The location was convenient, making it easy to get around, and the room was clean and well maintained, which made the stay very comfortable. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, so the entire experience from check-in to check-out was pleasant. I would definitely consider staying here again if I visit this area in the future.

Appeared to be newly renovated. The rooms were spacious, had a small equipped kitchen, and great a/c. No conditioner for hair and only three hand towels in the bathroom. But really amazing value for the price, esp for families for small kids. There’s a kid zone in the hotel with arcade and fun games and of course water park next door. Starbucks and GS25 in hotel too.
