good location in a walkable distance from the railway station close to the city centre. The place is simple, but clean and it was good value for the price.

Honestly the room was bigger than expecting and it was nice and close to the train station which meant I was able to walk which is always nice.

The staff was super friendly. Check in super uncomplicated, even though it was a last-minute booking. The rooms are cute. There are 2 single rooms, one double and one 4 bed bedroom. They all share a bathroom and kitchen as well as a small lounge. I had the whole place for myself as it was off-season.

My stay was cosy and convenient, and it was so nice to come home here after a long day out.

It was located in a quiet part of the city but was also near enough to the city center if you wanted to go out, and the buses that were heading toward the beach were only a 10-minute walk down the street.

The hospitality and space were lovely. The location is great, especially if you're coming in by train. I spent my trip in the downtown area, and everything I wanted to do was in walking distance. There was also a space to leave your bag if you come to town early before check-in, which I would take advantage of if I stayed again.

15 Walk to Gangneung KTX/ITX station.

Great location, I walked to all the places I wanted to go to. It's in a Central location. It's close to Gangneung KTX station, 15 minutes walk. Host is very welcoming and very helpful. The place is full of supplies, from toothpaste to sunscreen. I will definitely recommend to other people. I will book again. Felt safe as a female solo traveler .
