Pleasant Stay with Helpful Host

The property is in a quiet, family-friendly neighborhood, closer to the city bus terminal than the beaches. The room and shower were very clean and well maintained, and the common kitchen area was also tidy and complete, with a simple breakfast available if needed. The host spoke English well. He was very welcoming and went out of his way to introduce the city, explain bus routes, and recommend local food and places to visit. He even provided maps and restaurant lists, and suggested a spot where I managed to enjoy a lovely night view of cherry blossoms. Overall, a comfortable stay with great hospitality.

Even if it was only one day for us, it made us feel like we will be back one day in the future. Extremely helpful host. I've never met such kind person as host :) Place itself is really cosy, clean and pretty. I strongly recommend.

I was here only for two nights, and the full day I spent here it was raining. But the place is nice to just chill and appreciate the time passing by. Also I talked with the owner and he gave me a lot of recommendations for the area and we could also talk about various subjects concerning Korean history. He also helped me to plan the rest of my trip. The place was very clean and I spent two wonderful nights, leaving rested and full of knowledge. Thanks again for the warm welcome, and I can only recommend the place for any types of stay !

Cosy guesthouse. We would gladly stay again!

My friend and I booked a last minute trip to Gangneung, and so we weren't really sure what to expect! Everything exceeded our expectations. The host was incredibly friendly and gave us so many good recommendations that we used on our trip. The common areas were free to use at any time, so it is extremely convenient to have breakfast when we were ready. There was always freshly brewed coffee in the morning, everything we might need to cook, and it was always extremely clean and well prepared. It was like a home away from home. You can tell that a lot of love and thought went into setting up the guest house. Everything from safety to comfort was considered. There's nothing I can think that could've been better!

Wonderful place to stay and visit, go you won't be disappointed

Beautifully presented, aesthetically pleasing, clean (unbelievably clean) very well appointed, nothing left to chance, if you want it the owner will provide. Location perfect as its close to main road for public transport, only 15 min walk from Gangneung Station (KTX & ITX Trains). Also, short distance (across main road) from an amazing market for food etc. Owner is an encyclopedia on local and national information. If he gives you advise about the area, take heed as he knows. Owner saved me time and money on forward travel and travel around Gangneung. Very interesting, enjoyable young man that has a lot of passion for the area. Really liked this place and it set the mood for my ongoing travels around South Korea. Yes, would return here in a heartbeat.

Fantastic host.

A fantastic host, plenty of information provided on check in about what to do around the area. Very helpful, ordered a taxi for us on check out. Loved the little Halloween decorations around the garden. Was a little unsure if I’d be able to get off the futon in the morning, it was actually really comfy and my body managed to get up no problem.

Amazing Guesthouse

The host is the star of the show in this guest house! He’s absolutely amazing and will make your stay so much easier. Gives heaps of advice on where to go in Gangneung, logistics and tips. The property kitchen is all set up and so clean, with eggs and bread for breakfast. As well as coffee (also provides soy milk if you’re plant based!) and orange juice - all included in your accommodation cost! Wi-Fi is great, no issues. Pretty close and easy to get to things in town, short trip on bus from the train station.

Lovely and relaxing, good place to rest after a long day out.

Quiet and simple, sufficient facilities and in good quality. Host was friendly and explained the use of facilities well, approachable to request for more amenities. Also introduced places of interest and popular food around the area. Good suggestions for transport wise to help navigate the area better.

Soon was an amazing host. He really helped me have an amazing time in Gangnueng. This property is so close to the traditional market which is brimming with good smells and things to try. Probably the nicest I’ve seen in Korea. You can also get a bus quite easily to the lake and beach areas. You can even get a coach to and from Serokasan mountain if you leave early enough! It’s a clean, quite place where you can make a nice breakfast or relax after a day seeing Gangnueng.

A camping style of stay

The facility is located in a residential area, but was quite close to bus stops. The breakfast is basically self catering and cleaning - some bread, jam, coffee. The kitchen area is very clean and well organized. Bedroom was warm in the wintertime (it was -15 C outside), although a bit cramped. You have to leave your shoes outside (in cold room), but the manager offered some device for warming and drying shoes.
