It was nice to be able to watch the sunrise right from my room on a morning when the temperature had dropped. Also it is a place where you can view both the sea and the lake from the front and back of the building.
We loved our stay here at Skybay Hotel! Our room was on the 14th floor overlooking the ocean and it was amazing! We will definitely try to stay here again, there was so much to do nearby and lots of restaurants/ cafes. 10/10 experience!
1. Lake view room has a great view.
2. If you go to 20th floor, you can enjoy nice sea view and mountain view.
3. Go to the beach to walk around. I felt very safe and pleasant to walk beach at night (many people enjoy walking, drinking, listening busking music).
3. You can buy cup noodle at the conveient store in the first floor and eat it at your room (room has a coffee port to boil water)
4. In the first floor, they sell burger set at reasonable prices ($10 or so)
5. For dinner, we went to 20th floor buffet restaurant. Food was so so (quite disappointing quality) but the view was fantastic. About CAD $100. Beer and wine are included in the buffet. Highly recommend this buffet experience not because of food but because of view.
6. Infinity pool in 20th floor looks great.
1.Lobby: Friendly staff and quick service
2.Room: Clean and cozy
3.View: Beautiful lake backdrop with a stunning evening sunset
4.Breakfast: Moderately priced, but with premium-quality offerings
5.Dinner: A fantastic buffet on the 20th floor, like a dream party
– Unlimited beer and wine
6.Swimming Pool: A bit pricey, but perfect for enjoying in the evening
7.Gym: Well-equipped and very clean
The staff were very nice and efficient. The hotel was very clean and well kept. The gym is wonderful! The hotel layout was well organized and made sense. The additional fees to use amenities, things being closed without warning, no in-room control of the AC, and wait times for elevators made it a very good stay instead of an excellent stay.
It’s not the best option you can get in Gangneung. There’s no way that they should charge over 30 dollars for their breakfast. It’s super crowded, with little selection to choose from. The rooftop swimming pool is nice but the sauna is PACKED with the hotel’s membership holders. Seems like the hotel’s keeping up its financials by selling the membership tickets.
Definitely need to upgrade its service and quality to upkeep its price and name value.

Found mini roach in room......
Found a mini cockroach near the curtains the minute i entered the room, assuming it got in from the balcony as i saw a few more crawling on the outside of the windows. Then i saw hair caught in the hair dryer when i was about to use it. Not to mention that the curtains were stained. Glad to see bedding very clean though and the ocean view from my room in the morning were probably the only upside of the stay.
A grand hotel with not so knowledgeable front desk clerk. I made a reservation for three, and the clerk was talking to me as if I made a reservation for two and brought an extra person at the last minute. She told me that "this time we will let go but next time there will be an extra charge."
Anyway, the welcoming at the front desk didn’t go well as "welcoming" as it should be but I let it go.
Since we didn’t get to the hotel until much later, we called the front desk to get some guidance for a place to eat. She said that every thing in the hotel is closed so if we need to get food, we had to go outside of the hotel. Once I came downstairs to explore the area, there were places in the hotel lobby that served food.
I decided to try their dinner buffet following evening, located on the 20th floor of the hotel. I paid 120,000 korean won, about $110.00 per pserson. I was hoping to enjoy crab legs but was so disappointed with dry crab meat. Sashimi and sushi were good but galbee marinated beef were tough, and difficul to chew,
Shrimp were overcooked. Definitely not worth spending that kind of money.
Very nice hotel. I had an ocean view room - well worth it with the beautiful view. The room was quiet and the bed was extremely comfortable. A very nice bathroom. It was spacious and very clean.
The hotel is directly opposite the beach. The hotel was clean and in excellent condition. The breakfast was very good. There are also reasonably priced coffee shops and other dining alternatives for lunch and dinner
I didn't use the gym, but I expect the view from the 20th floor is something. Next time.
Overall, a great stay.
We had a great time staying here. Only thing I’ll say is you only get one key and you need it for the lights in the room so when one of us went to do laundry we had to take the key with us and the person in the room couldn’t use the lights
I had fabulous views from my room. The beach was just across the street. One night I enjoyed the midnight splash 9pm-midnight at the rooftop infinity pool.
