Gapyeong Marine Boy Pension

There’s a good range of meats at dinner, unlimited alcohol and other drinks, and the soybean paste stew is delicious. Breakfast was disappointing: we waited a long time for fried eggs, even after lining up. The room felt like a cheap B&B, and since only about 10,000 to 20,000 won per person goes toward the room, with the rest for dinner, I didn’t find it especially good value.

The meat was much better than we expected. There were several kinds of beef and lamb, and the alcohol was unlimited. We booked because of that offer, figuring the meat couldn't be that good and we'd just drink a lot. Breakfast the next morning was simple but decent, with eggs, soup, sausage, coffee, and more. You can bring just the basics and not worry about preparing dinner or breakfast. The room was a bit shabby, though. If it had been a little nicer, I’d have given five stars.

The dinner beef buffet and breakfast were both delicious, and the cats were cute too. The room was cleaner and better than I’d expected after hearing it wasn’t great, and the owner was nice. I didn’t get an upset stomach or anything.

I’d moved from Pocheon before this first visit, and the staff were friendly as always. Prices have gone up a bit with rising costs, that’s true, but I had a really good rest.
