Gangneung W Spa Pension B

Parking was easy, the owner was friendly, and I liked that they did their own laundry. The bunk beds were uncomfortable and I didn’t sleep steadily, so it wasn’t convenient for kids. I think couples or friends would enjoy it more.

The spa was really nice, with good facilities and plenty of hot water, so I want to recommend it to friends. I stayed on the third floor. You can see the sea, though the road runs between it and the building, so it isn’t right in front of you. They had Baobab lpp treatment, one bubble bath for the spa, and just one foam cleanser.

Building A seems to have a better ocean view than Building B, and the beach is only about a two-minute walk away. There’s a small supermarket right across from the place, with fair prices and no attempt to overcharge. The spa was clean, and I was satisfied overall. The owner is friendly and the facilities are clean, too. Check-in is at 4 PM, though they said arriving half an hour early was fine; check-out is 11 AM. Late checkout costs 10,000 won per hour, so keep that in mind. There’s no elevator, which could be hard with lots of luggage, and you need to collect the rice cooker from the management office. If your group exceeds the minimum guest count, it’s 15,000 won extra per person :)

I keep coming back, about three times a month. It’s a place to recharge, with an ocean-view spa pension, clean facilities, and really friendly staff~^^
