Hotels near Olympic Sliding Centre, Pyeongchang-gun

If you’re someone who wants to escape the busy city life and experience real home-cooked Korean food, this is the perfect place for you. Staying here feels like visiting a Korean family home rather than just booking an accommodation. The owner is incredibly kind, polite, and warm. They treated us like their own kids, always making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. You can truly feel their sincerity. The house is so peaceful and perfect for a family day gathering. There are so many facilities provided, honestly, just name it! Everything you need is already there. The owner also made our trip so much easier in so many ways, and I’m genuinely so thankful for that.To all Malaysians and anyone from other countries — please, please come and stay at this house! I would give it 100/10 without hesitation. 🤍

The place is good, 7 minutes to ski and has a supermarket and eatery place nearby. Honestly the room is nice, with cooking facilities but the owner was not friendly at all. The toilet was stuck and leak they came with only the plunger and ask us settle ourself. Is winter and we came with kids, the kids built a snowman and they destroyed the snowman after we went for ski trip. We are a group of 10 and we wanted to cook our dinner. There is a small hut with table and chair and BBQ facilities, we ask to BBQ facilities (We are willing to pay, 10,000 won as stated) but she said is winter so we can’t use the BBQ pit, ended up we use the stove to cook up the meat. The husband and wife came in to the huts and told us we can’t do BBQ but we explained to her we just cook the meat and we didn’t do any BBQ. We left the place with cleaner than we came in. I have to WhatsApp her and show her the place is cleaned. The warn us that we must left the place by 1am but in fact all of us finished eh 9.30pm every day since we are tired from Ski. During the last day, they came to us and I was thinking they come and say goodbye but they just make sure we throw every single piece of rubbish outside the house. My husband wear shoe and just step to take our luggage and the owner insist us to take out the shoe before we went in to the house. Although we have explained, we just step in and take the luggage and go, he insisted us to take out the shoes. I have been travelling all around the world and we do understand every cultural is different but as the operator of tourist industry, the owner has to be service minded. If you can’t accept any international travellers then please do not list your place in any platform or put up a notice that international tourist is not permitted to stay there and we won’t book accordingly. Is such a shame to see this happened to us after our 5th trip to Korea and our 3rd trip to Pyeongchang for ski.

(+) The view around the hotel us super beautiful. The villa itself also perfect and comes with complete amenities. They even provide space for you for bbq (-) -Breakfast is very minimum and fat from our expectation - The location is pretty remote, ni convenience store or anything close by to buy meals, so you better comes prepared. Also hard to get taxi, only Kakao taxi availble which required local numbers

This trip was with my son, who wanted to hit the ski slopes right away, and my daughter, who wanted to relax and watch the snow... so we took it easy and had a good rest. The staff at the front desk and the breakfast buffet were all very kind. However, before check-in, the room cleaning felt a bit inadequate and unprepared. It was particularly disappointing that things like hair conditioner weren't properly refilled. The housekeeper was quite unfriendly, and I felt the cleanliness of the accommodation was a bit lacking, which made for some uncomfortable moments. Nevertheless, once I adjusted my mindset to 'considering it's an old place,' it turned out to be a very enjoyable trip.

I really loved how clean the room was, and the ample parking space made everything so convenient. What surprised me most was having a water dispenser and even a coffee machine right in the room! 👍🏻 I definitely want to come back to Hotel Around! The view is great, and the price is fantastic too!

We like to stay in this hotel. Have breakfast in a cozy cafe. The rooms are warm, clean and equipped with kitchen and shower. For me, the truth has only one disadvantage: in the corridors of the hotel, the weather is very cold, and in the shower close to the room, it is also very cold and not very comfortable. Due to underfloor heating, only the room is heated. We booked a room with 2 tatami mats. The wall felt cool when we slept, but because the floor was very hot and the bed itself was very hot, the bones had been injured the next night, so we changed to another room, a larger one The room (even warmer) has a bed and tatami mats. . I think this is the best choice. When you have a European bed and a Korean tatami, you will feel all the ”charm” of Korean sleep and be familiar with us. It can be said that it feels different. Not far from the elevator, cafes and shops are nearby. Have a good rest!

I was a bit disappointed by the limited number of convenience facilities and restaurants within the resort. There are a few more dining options if you drive out, but the parking is so cramped that I hesitated to move my car. The parking, which is limited to ground level and one underground floor, is incredibly difficult to navigate. Especially during check-in hours (3-4 PM), it's a parking war due to guests using the ski & board and water park for the day. A plus point, though, is the mobile check-in option, which helps avoid long waits to get your room number. Also, if you're using a stroller, be aware that when moving to the basement, the stroller path suddenly turns into stairs. So, for convenience, always use the outdoor path on the first floor. If you're going to the kids' lounge with a stroller, go towards Lotteria instead of Baskin-Robbins; it's right on the second floor. (The building itself has no elevator, only stairs.) This was my first time staying in the Green Wing condo, and the iron door closing, soundproofing, and people constantly smoking on the terrace (the smell kept coming in and was really annoying!) made me decide to avoid the Green and Orange Wings from now on.

Kensington Pyeongchang is one of my favorite resorts. When it gets hot in summer, the area at the foot of Odaesan Mountain is simply unbeatable. I especially loved dipping my feet in the stream next to the glamping area – it was so refreshing and blissful. The English garden is also very lovely. However, it's quite inconvenient that all facilities now incur an additional charge since the pandemic. Perhaps facilities like the swimming pool could be complimentary for guests, with the cost simply included in the room rate? The extra charges and time restrictions really make me hesitate to use them. Lastly, the prices at Café Flori are also quite steep for the food quality/portion size.

The manager was friendly There is no window in the room, so ventilation is difficult It smells a little on the pillow. It's not easy to unlock. The net is not open and closed.

I made a night trip to Gangwon Province, so I made a reservation in a hurry and entered late in the evening and couldn't stop by in detail. The entrance was dark on the night road, so it was a bit hesitant. The counter staff kindly responded. The room was clean and warm and I went to sleep well. There is no convenience store in the hostel, so you have to buy it in advance at a convenience store 5-10 minutes drive away.
