Kensington Flora Hotel is located very near to Mt. Odae Korea National Park. If you want to consider trekking to the mountain, this hotel would be a perfect choice. The breakfast buffet is quite good, and the French garden is also very quiet and nice place to walk around in the morning. The overall rate is quite good considering the hotel facility and service level (Re...

The hotel is located in the Pyeongchang Ski resort. We have been there a little bit out of season, so it was calm and a very good time to relax. The hotel itself is really clean and in a very good shape. The service very friendly and professional (all speaking a very good english). The room, including the bathroom were also in an excellent shape und very comfortable un...

As the hotel staff speaks very limited English, it took us a lot of time to get the free shuttle bus timetable between Yongpyong resort and Hoenggye bus station (close to AM hotel). The bus departs from Yongpyong resort (Blisshill, 1st Floor, bus parking lot) at 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18.20, 19.30, 20.30, 21.40, 22.40, 0.30, 0.50. The bus departs from Hoenggye (a ...

Me & my wife took a room with village view while the other 2 couples have their rooms with snow mountain view wh...

If you Ski or Ride MTB, this is THE place to stay at! Affordable costs considering this is a high end premium vacation resort area. All your needs are here, and just steps away from the gondolas and facilities. There is also HALAL food for moslems! and that is a HUGE relief for us who find it hard to eat in Korea. LOCATION is the Best!

Staff is very helpful and friendly. We had a one day trip and staff helped to communicate to a driver during our trip as the driver cannot speak English. Room is quite big and it separates restroom area from a bed room. There is small kitchen in the room. You can order some food to your room. Breakfast is better than our expectation. There are a few restaurants near...

From pyeongchang station, we took taxi. It cost 20.000KRW. It was a brand new modern apartment equipped with modern interior and kitchenette. Very cozy and nice. The staffs were very nice amd helpful, but they couldn’t speak English at all so we had to give extra effort to communicate with them. Thanks to google translate. The location was near from phoenix park comple...

I really have to thank Aby, the young guy who speaks OK English and works round the clock. He put us into a quiet room which we requested hence it looked into the rice fields facing the back side of the hotel, first night we had snow and was so pretty. The front of the hotel overlooking the ski slopes and I saw many people placing their ski and board at the balcony. I ...

Very nice spot away from the bustle of Wonju. Spacious and well equipped. The heated floor heats up to a million degrees if you so desire. A little difficult to find so print the map before you head off. No hassle communicating with the delightful owner. Good food within a short car ride. Area seems to be abundant in beef. There's a ski field somewhere nearby but we di...

We (2 adults & 1 10-yr-old girl) went to YP for skiing & had stayed at G&B Hotel for 6 nights. The hotel is a small one & owned by a couple (Andy & Julie). Both of them can speak Eng, in particular Julie. Breakfast is standard, bread, egg, cereal, coffee, etc. Not so many choices but that's enough for a simple breakfast. You can rent ski or snowboard equipment at the h...

Except the maintenance of the bath room, as I understand this is quite a new hotel, however, I see no proper maintenance of the bathroom & cleaning service is 2/5 marks! Flooring & toilet bowl was not cleaned properly ! I still see hair & stain! Other than the above, hotel staff were helpful although cannot speak fluent English but we still manage to communicate with ...

The hotel is so new that there wasn't a website available when we booked it. Its a wonderful option if you are skiing in Alpensia. Their free shuttle is wonderful (the shuttle was full and the hotel kindly cars to send us to Alpensia anyways). The loft is a great for more bedspace but it would be better if they don't charge us for the extra bedding (33,000KRW per night...

We didn't rent a car in Korea this time (which I think we should do next time...) hence we took the shuttle bus directly from the Gimpo airport and only manage to arrive Daegwalnyeong at around 7pm (better check the shuttle bus schedule first, we spent 3 hours waiting for the shutttle...The shuttle bus stopped at the Alpensia Resort, and the staff at Holiday Inn helped...

Ones views would depend on your type of travel and when.. I as a solo traveler purely to ski did not have transport, relied on publlc transport (free shuttle bus to the ski resort 6km) which is excellent.

My fiancée and I stayed at Angel Dream Pension for 1 night in May. The pension itself is a little off the beaten track but is set in a beautiful tranquil mountain valley next to a pretty stream/river. The the studio room was nice and spacious and was very clean.

4-star hotels in Pyeongchang-gun

Olympia hotel & resort was reasonably priced compared to Yongpyong resort hotels. However it has only very basic offering. Rooms are really standard, no extras.. even cleaning was not done daily.

I had the best experience staying at Pungcha & Herb Pension the night of the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony. My room was beautiful and had an amazing view. On top of that, the owner drove me from the house to the Olympic stadium then to a bus stop the next day because transportation was so hard to get due to the event.

Real reviews for hotels
Must go: ski resorts (YongPyong resort is the biggest and got great slopes), Korean BBQ and hotpot shops.
Very nice people. A ski resort. Not exactly catered to english speakers so have to ask around for information.
Close to Yongpyeog Resort. The hotel reception can arrange the cab to go to Yongpyeong Resort. From YongPyeong Resort, you can also ask the resorts hotel reception to call the cab for you to return to Alpensia
you can travel out for trout festival during end dec early Jan where you can try ice fishing. It is a fun experience that we really enjoyed :) can try going to korea website for more information on different festival for different months.
You may try ice fishing in Jinbu (near Jinbu bus terminal), just 20 minutes from Hoenggye bus ternmial)
this place will be hosting winter olympic 2108, so the place is well prepared for the event. so we can have better facilities now.
We do not have enough time to travel to other places during our visit. The service of the public transport to Holiday Inn Suites is good & friendly although we have a bit difficulty in communicate in English.
The owner of the hotel can communicate with simple English.He is very friendly and helpful. He drove us to the skiing resorts.
If you enjoy outdoor activities and getting away from the city, this is a great place to go. Don't expect much city life here though, if that is what you're looking for then don't go.
There is much to be done to promote this resort by improving the facilities and amenities. Good to have a outdoor spa resort around this area.
You have to ride your own vehicle to get there, because of the location quite far from Seoul, about 4 hours driving.
Pyeongchang-gun is rather huge. It depends on which month/weather you visit alpensia.I love coming here during winter esp to ski & to enjoy the weather
