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.
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.
We booked two rooms and the front desk gave us a corner sea-view room. The layout was a bit different and very spacious, and the view was absolutely stunning. The hotel is located on Gyeongpo Beach, which is the most beautiful beach in Gangneung. There's an infinity pool on the rooftop with ocean views, and you can find the famous Chodang soft tofu nearby. It's also not far from Anmok Coffee Street. You can take a taxi to Jumunjin to see the Goblin filming location and the BTS bus stop. Right across from the Goblin spot is a famous soft tofu ice cream shop with beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the sea. Overall, Gangneung doesn't feel that big, and it's quite convenient to get to the attractions by taxi.
It's quite a distance, so if you're coming on your own, you'll need to take a taxi. It costs about 25,000 won each way. The breakfast spread is huge, but there are no restaurants around the hotel at night, only within the resort itself. There isn't even a casual spot to grab a drink.
The room I entered on the first day was very unclean.
- Only the bed was clean!
- Stains on the table as they were
- Hair all over the floor... Same with the bathroom
- Traces of something eaten on the sofa...
Since it was early morning check-in and the luggage had already been moved,
I explained the situation and asked to change the room.
The front desk said that they would only clean one night out of three, and asked if they would clean it tomorrow...
(????) I didn't clean it... Considering that it would be difficult to change rooms at dawn, I asked them to change the room the next day.. Why did they clean it tomorrow as if it was a favor...?
After talking to them again, they decided to change the room the next day,
and fortunately! The room I changed to was clean.
* On the third day, I was sleeping and heard a knock saying that the room was being cleaned, and they were trying to open the door right away,
so I was startled while sleeping and told them not to come in because they didn't have to clean it, but they kept coming in and said they would just tag my card..
They said they had to tag it to get paid...(??)
I travel a lot for business and often stay at hotels,
but this was the first time I've seen something like this...
I was half asleep and didn't understand what they were saying,
and I was in my pajamas and a mess,
so I told them not to come in because they kept coming in..
They didn't come in,
but it's still absurd to think about later.
The hotel system seems strange....
I stayed twice for 3 nights,
but every time I went, I was never satisfied with the cleanliness, front desk, and various services, as if it were a 4-star hotel...
I used it because of the location and facilities, etc., but...
Well... I'm not sure about the future.
* The photo is only a small part, there are also hair stains here and there that are not visible in the photo...
The condition of the convention tower room was good.
The snowy scenery was also very nice.
There were many places to go and things to do for a vacation, so it was good.
The water park, swimming pool, sauna, Unamjeong, casino (Kangwon Land), gondola, skiing, sledding, etc. were spread out, so it wasn't too crowded even though it was a holiday, which was even better. ㅎㅎ
I'm even more satisfied because there's something for everyone, from children to adults.
It's a bit far to get there, but it's definitely a vacation, so I'd like to visit again^^
It was nice because it was a new hotel! The stay was neat, but it smelled like sewers in the bathroom. It was just when I entered the bathroom, so I didn't care much.
Would like to commend front desk staff Jason for personally attending to our check-in. He had painstakingly showed us to our Block B apartment room helping to also push 1 of our bags. As the room did not provide us with a sunrise view, had requested for a room change for the 2nd night and Jason himself again personally came to help us with the room transfer movement. His good english was a also pleasant surprise.as also his charming attitude and smiling look. The resort should cherish such young & kind-hearted staff. Kudos to him!
Also, there was a manager (unfortunately could not remember his name who had a christian name to his name tag and slightly burly sized) @ the indoor pool/spa reception who should be praised for also taking the trouble to allow us entry (though we did not book any slot) on our check out day for us to take some photo pics for remembrance. He actually helped us take our couple shot, took the time to showcase us the nice indoor pool and its magnificent balcony view before accompanying us out and showing us the way to the beach. Thank you kind sir!
The fantastic service we received from above 2 gentlemen is really testament to Shillamonogram's astute and comprehensive staff training especially with focus on customer satisfaction. Well done Shillamonogram. Will certainly recommend the resort for a wonderful staycation.
The check-in experience was disappointing. The front desk receptionist was rude, unfriendly, and impatient. As tourists who are not familiar with public transport online ticketing, we needed assistance, but the staff was not helpful. Better customer service and support for international guests are needed.
I used to always stay at the same hotel whenever I visited Sokcho, but this time I decided to try Homemarina Hotel. To cut to the chase, I was extremely satisfied! The overall facility management was great, and the amenities exceeded my expectations. The bathroom, in particular, was impressive – the best I've encountered in any hotel so far. The water pressure was stable, and the hairdryer performed well, so there were absolutely no minor inconveniences. If I come back to Sokcho, this will be my hotel of choice again.
Great

Very Good
EEEErikaaaTraveling with a 2-year-old child
It was nice that there was a children's playground, an indoor pool, and a large hot spring bath. The child was very satisfied.
The dinner buffet had delicious snow crab and sashimi.
There were various activities on site, as well as a convenience store, restaurant, and cafe, so we could enjoy ourselves all day at the resort.
About 20 cm of snow fell in the middle of the night, but the staff worked hard to shovel it away, which was great.
There were mats laid in the pool to prevent slipping, but they were not all over the place, so the tiled parts were slippery, so please be careful if you have small children.
I asked for bed guards when I checked in, but they never came to install them.

트트윈스19I booked this place to sleep during my trip to Gangneung. The location was so busy with cars on the way in that I was hesitant about parking, but the timing was perfect, so I parked and checked in. It was conveniently located near many restaurants and convenience stores, and the newly built room was clean. The view was a bit stuffy, facing the opposite building, but the TV was larger than most other places, which was nice.
GGuest UserNice place to stay. Very close to Mona Yongpyong Ski Resort. Nice view. Ample parking space. Spacious Room. Ondol room can fit 6 people. Kitchenette provided for cooking. There was an issue with our toilet where the toilet bowl is clogged. When we contact the front desk, they promptly send a staff to fix the toilet. Everything is perfect and we enjoy our stay at Tower Condominium.
GGuest UserThe ocean view room was truly breathtaking. The rooftop observation deck offers stunning views of both Seoraksan Mountain and the East Sea. The gym boasts ocean views and even doubles as a dance studio. The mango smoothie in the 4th-floor lobby was delicious. A game room in a hotel was a first for me! It's only a 10-minute jog to the Sokcho Ferris Wheel, and right behind the hotel is a port famous for its fresh seafood and crabs.

GGuest UserSooooooo niceeeee!!!! We will definitely come again for a skiing trip. We took a 2 bed-room with kitchen unit facing the skiing hills. The view is awesome. As a guest staying at VivaldPark, we got a 10% discount for the Snowyland Ticket. Unforgettable memories.

As tourists who are not familiar with public transport online ticketing, we needed assistance, but the staff was not helpful. Better customer service and support for international guests are needed.
GGuest UserThe hotel has a great location right in front of Naksan Beach (a great beach - lots of white sand). There are restaurants and supermarkets close by and it is a quick taxi ride to the Yangyang airport and Yangyang bus depot.
Staff are efficient and helpful without being intrusive. The hotel seems to have been newly renovated and the rooms, passages and common areas are newly carpeted and newly painted. There is a small gym and laundry room available for use.
Most guests seemed to stay only one night which seemed strange, given the great location. The only thing that could be improved upon is some basic facilities in the room. There is no cupboard (although there is enough space for one), only one chair (and its fairly uncomfortable at that) and no furniture on the balcony - we really wanted to sit on the balcony and look at the sea in the evenings, but there is nothing to sit on.
At the time that we stayed there (October 2024) there was quite a bit of construction noise as there are hotels being built on either side of the Naksan (although this is not the fault of the hotel itself).
