Hotel worth only for the location
Pros:

The location just outside the park is excellent. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

They really need to renovate the rooms - the carpet was beyond acceptable and worn to the thread. The room and corridors had a very dusty unpleasant smell.

Pros:

Extrem gute Lage für den Nationalpark

Cons:

Für 4 Personen gebucht, nur ein Doppelbett gehabt. 2 Personen mussten auf dem Boden schlafen und es wurde als „Korean Style“ verkauft.
Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, modriger Geruch

Pros:

설악산이 멋진 고풍스러운 숙소였습니다.
조식의 강원도 특산요리가 만족스러웠어요!
영국풍 인테리어와 테마가 이국적이라 기억에 남습니다.

Cons:

아무래도 오래된 호텔이다보니 노후되어보이는데 옛 스타들의 애장품으로 더 노후되어보였습니다.
차라리 영국느낌나는 다른 소품으로 통일감만 줘도 깔끔해 보일 것 같아요.
애비로드카페는 비틀즈 테마가 주가 되어야할 곳이나 음악부터가 유튜브 AI뮤직으로 실망스러웠습니다.

British hotel
Pros:

De locatie was perfect om het National Park te bezoeken. De kamers waren ruim en proper.
En er was een gratis self-laundry, waar we goed gebruik van gemaakt hebben.
Het ontbijt was heel uitgebreid en lekker.
En er waren leuke gezelschapsspellen in de bar.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets.

Perfectly located hotel, but needs renovating
Pros:

Location to Gate of National Park

Cons:

Bit dated and old. The theme is strange and the hotel would do better being normal and renovated to be more modern.
