Hongcheon Vacation Rentals

"I was expecting much better based on the hotel’s reputation. Compared to other four-star hotels, this felt more like a well-known property in a small tourist town rather than a true four-star experience. First, the front desk service was quite disappointing. The staff felt robotic and lacked warmth. As expected, early check-in was not available, but instead of clearly explaining it as a policy, the responses felt vague and somewhat insincere. The same issue came up when I asked to change to a higher-floor room—they initially said no rooms were available, which didn’t seem accurate, as they eventually assigned me one. The room itself was not exceptionally clean. I noticed dust in the corners of the drawers, and even the gym area did not seem well maintained. The breakfast was also mediocre and did not meet the standard I would expect from a hotel in this category. The view is definitely the highlight, but everything else feels average. Personally, I would rather stay at a smaller hotel with better service and simply visit scenic spots or restaurants for the view. One of the biggest downsides was the lack of basic amenities. Toothbrush and toothpaste were not provided, which is surprising for a four-star hotel. The swimming pool also requires an additional fee, and even the laundry facilities are coin-operated. If you’re coming from the US, or even comparing it to hotels in Seoul, it’s hard to see how this property qualifies as the “landmark” it advertises itself to be."

"Looks like it’s newly renovated. Clean, modern."

"Amazing staff. My heater was broken in my room and they changed my room promltly and it was a bit nicer!"

" Lots of space but there are a lot of extra payments , even if you are leaving luggage for a couple of hours after checking out. Swim zone is clunky- get your life jacket on the way in ! Skiing: OK a day or two. You can hire stuff there. Taxi is about 120,000 Won from Seoul. "

"Room was too HOT at 24 degrees C, water pressure did not exist during a shower -was trickling out, bed too hard, breakfast options limited."

"Very polite and helpful staff, concierge staff were the best!!! The breakfast Buffett was top notch and there was so much variety for everyone."

"Mountain view impressive. "

"It was a reasonable choice for a non-touristy place. The room was sparsely decorated but clean. The breakfast was pretty basic but the staff friendly and the location was 10 minutes by bus from the train station "

"좋은 경험이었습니다. 밥도 맛있었어요! 애견 동반 가능한 점도 좋아요! 숙소가 언덕 꼭대기라 조금 힘들긴 했네요."
