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.

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.

Definitely not a four stars hotel. Upon checking, noted bad urine odor from bathroom and also found some black mold growing inside bathroom walls. I let the front desk know about the problem but they didn’t seem to be too concerned, not even apologize from staff. Maybe it’s common issues? Anyway, I can’t recommend this hotel ($160 for a night) there are much cleaner hotels nearby.

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.

Bad management experience

The hotel itself was fine but management was appalling. We never expected to receive a call from the police during our family trip for something so ridiculous. Apparently, someone’s car was scratched in the parking lot and they wanted to find the perpetrator. Fine. But hotel management called every car owner who exited the parking lot at the supposed “time of the crime” and we also got the call as well. We know we didn’t do it because all the family members were in the car and confirmed we didn’t bump into anyone and just in case we even checked the outside of the car to see if there were any scratches. None. What’s even funnier was that they don’t have security cameras in the parking garages so they have no evidence if the accident even happened in the garage but still called everyone. The craziest thing is that we even got a call from the police a couple days later. How and why did they even get our information?? We had called management before and clarified that we don’t believe it was our car and thought that was done with but the police call came and we even sent them a picture of our car. The whole situation seemed very pointless. I feel like the hotel could have managed the situation better and not send out our personal information without consent.

Satisfactory visit! Clean and new facilities with infinity pool access (comes with warm water in winter), in-building convenience store on top of the usual restaurants and cafes, and a skyview bar with amazing views and delicious cocktails. Comfortable room with in-suite iPad to order room service, ask for extra towels or water, and to do self checkout (very convenient). Easy access to the beach and a hugeeee lakeside park overseeing the beautiful mountain range. Close enough to the city. Parking was a little tight though, but manageable.

We came to Skybay with our Korean friend for a wonderful adventure. We opted for the lake view room, while our friends had the ocean view, both are spectacular. That night it was so cold, that we decided to stay in the hotel and had chicken and beer I the dining area, the chicken and beer were great, but it was sitting and chitchat with our friend, that’s priceless. This is a great hotel, but forewarn to book amenities in advance, like pool, sauna, breakfast, etc. these are not included with the room stay. Overall, we had a wonderful experience, we wish to thank the staff for courteous hospitality.

Pretty central location with the lake on one side and the beach on the other. Can walk to either side and explore. The hotel does have some wear & tear in the rooms but honestly, probably one of the better locations in Gangneung. The views from the top are amazing in the evening. You do need a car if you want to visit other spots like Cafe Alley (blocks with cafes across from the beach). Both the lakeside & the beachside have walking paths - highly recommend walking along the lake as well. Would stay there again if going back to Gangneung. Don’t forget your bathing suit - it is a bit pricey - but worth taking a dip at their infinity pool on the rooftop if on vacay and okay to splurge a bit on an “experience”.

We love to walk so the area was perfect for a really nice lake or beach walk. We went in early October so the weather was good for walks. The lake view from our room really nice too.

The rooms were a little run down. Wallpaper was peeling off but the room was generally clean. They also don’t provide toothbrushes but there’s a vending machine that sells them if you didn’t bring one.

The location is beautiful and so are the common areas. I was located in the south tower facing the lake. The view was lovely, but you can hear loud noises from the room next door and halls. The furniture in the room was a bit worn, but everything was very clean.

I didn't swim in the pool, but I did enjoy the view. I originally paid for the entry as part of my package thinking I'd need to pay to even see the view, but that's not the case. Definitely recommend going up to lounge.

The hotel is also conveniently located near the tourist information office, so if you want to book a tourist taxi it's perfect for that. Overall it's worth booking.
