Interlaken Pension in Gapyeong

Just stopped for coffee at the cafe and sat by the lake. It was quite nice. The Gran pain was as usual....

Breakfast is provided, and there are plenty of places to visit within an hour. The main draw for me would be the morning mist over the lake. This is a lovely place to see it.

The view was the best part, and I was really satisfied with how clean the place was and how well the air conditioning worked. The soundproofing was good too, and the heating and cooling both worked well. It's also a great spot for barbecuing. I appreciated that there was a refrigerator to store groceries before check-in. The owner was on site, personally managing things and showing guests around. You can tell they put thought into the place instead of just running the pension haphazardly.

The location and accommodation seemed decent, and I liked having a private BBQ spot for each room. It was sheltered from the wind and had a warm heater, so grilling in winter was comfortable. But for the price, I wouldn't recommend it. There's no real service, everything is self-service, and the breakfast was very basic: toast and fried eggs, with hardly any vegetables when I went in at 8:10. Breakfast only runs from 8:00 to 9:00, so you have to get up like you're going to work. You sort out your own trash and tidy up, and if you ask for something, you have to go pick it up yourself. I also got the impression that the owner, if that was who it was, had a lot of complaints. The young staff member seemed ready to get angry when a question was asked twice. I have no intention of going back.
