Breakfast buffet was great. Variety of menus and delicious. My partner and I were very pleased while staying at this hotel. The sound of waves make the perfect bedtime.
WOONHAK, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Modern, clean, excellent breakfast. View of ocean from room and plenty of walking path on park across the street. Several restaurants within walking distance of hotel. Small room did not have any closet or drawers for clothes, so it was truly living out of the suitcase.

Highly recommended Avvio hotel in Gangneung.

I stayed in Avvio hotel for 2 nights in the early of Jan 2023. It was such a beautiful room with view towards the sea and pine tree. Inside this room, there was a cozy corner where you could relax. Especially, the receptionist (Ms. Jisoo) of this hotel is very kind and helpful. She really supported me to get my phone back when I accidentally lost it in the taxi. Many thanks to her hospitality which makes my trip memorable in Gangneung.
Super cozy in this corner.
Khanh, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Dirty and Loud

Very Loud due to construction works. Nobody told this fact before. Dirty and air conditioner dirty. Bath room dirty. EverThing dirty except lobby
Sok, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property was as described and yet a little underwhelming given the price relative to other hotels I looked at same/higher price range. They did not give notice that there was major construction next door to our side of hotel, not would they offer discount. But the location across from beach was great. And while you are technically not supposed to swim (no life guard), there were a few. But the view and walking trail through woods between beach and hotel was very nice..and not a far walk to Gyeongpodae Beach. Location was quiet/remote - good if you have car, not great if you don’t. If you want nightlife/restaurants within east walk, stay near Gyeongpodae beach

A great suite - what a view

I stayed in one of the corner suites. The view was outstanding. Even better than the image on the website. The room was large and very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable, as were the chairs. I didn't watch the TV as I was reading and just looking at the view. I like this hotel because it is just across from an undeveloped, unspoilt, and very quiet stretch of beach - the nicest I have seen in Gangneung and probably the nicest I have personally experienced in South Korea. As a result, I spent a fair amount of time on the beach. Unfortunately, a huge development is being built next door to the hotel. I hope it doesn't ruin this area of beach, but I am doubtful. Breakfast was a do-shi-rack/bento box to be eaten in the room. This was surprising, but it was tasty nonetheless. The room was not the cleanest though. Dusty in parts and even a bit of dried seaweed on the bedside table. However, I really enjoyed my stay overall. I was sad to leave the suite due to the view and the amount of natural light. I hope to go back soon. Note - they are very strict with check in time - no check in before 3pm. This is a quiet area. I have seen some Koreans complain about this, but it is the reason I like it. Also, as a solo foreigner there were not really any dining options that appealed to me. Seafood is king here. However, there is a decent convenience store a few minutes walk away. I had a cup ramen sitting outside. Good times

밤 늦게 도착했는데 야간근무 직원이 매우 친절하게 응대를 잘해주었고 숙소의 모든 인테리어, 욕실, 조식이 훌륭했습니다. 파노라마 가든뷰 객실이었는데 바다와 솔숲, 하늘~ 모든것이 좋았습니다. 덕분에 잘 쉬었습니다. 다음달에도 다시 가려 예약합니다. 그래서
