Hound the Blue View

The East Sea stretches out right beyond the room terrace, but some rooms require the curtains to be drawn in the middle of the day because of the neighboring building, so the view varies by room.

The sea is just a few steps away, and a little farther in front of the hotel you'll find the Coffee Street.

  • 정말 최고의 숙소 입니다! 작지만 정말 깔끔하고 직원분들도 정말 친절하십니다! 조식도 정말 좋았습니다! 가운있는 숙소는 많지만 활동복(남녀 구분) 이 있어서 신경을 쓰신것 같아서 좋았습니다! 조식도.가지수는 많지 않지만 정성이 담겨있다 생각합니다! 뒤에 있는 S그룹 호텔이 있어 작아보이지만 오션뷰는 최고입니다!

  • 오션뷰 숙소는 바로 앞이 바다라.. 날씨 좋은 아침에 정말 좋았어요. 침대옆 테라스를 나가면 바로 동해바다가 펼쳐지고 호텔 앞을 조금만 걸으면 커피거리가 있어서 좋아요. 조식도시락도 맛있어요.^^

  • 바다 바로 앞이라서 바다 가기도 좋았고 특히 어느방이든 뷰가 오션뷰라 랜덤배정 받아도 좋을 것 같아용 생긴지 얼마 안 된 곳이라 들어가자마자 너무 깨끗했고 쾌적해서 기분이 좋았습니다 조식도 종류가 다양했고 깨끗하고 맛이 있었습니다 ㅎㅎ 다음번에 강릉 올 때도 여기로 다시 올 것 같아요 !!! :-) 너무 편하게 쉬다가요 ㅎㅎ

  • 가족여행이 아닌 싱글 호캉스하러 강릉으로 여행을 계획했고 지난해 갔던 5성급 호텔이아닌 하운드호텔을 알게되어 조식패키지로 2박을 다녀왔습니다. 룸 정말 깨끗하고요. 바다가 30초거리 ^^ 조식도 5성급보다 더 맛나고 여유있게 먹었습니다. 모든것이 대 만족이였고 다음에 가족과 또 오게되면 그때도 하운드호텔로 갈거 같습니다.

  • 오션뷰는 감동이었어요 생각했던 것보다 룸이 그렇게 작지 않았고 요 다만 서비스는 좀 아쉬웠던 것 같아요 와인때문에 얼음 바스켓 요청했는데 데스크로 가지러가야되고 반납도 직접해야되더라고요^^;; 그리고 물어보면 프론트에서는 앉아서 대답하시더라구요..?; 안들리다보니 제가 데스크로 붙고 그랬네요 ㅠㅠ 그리거 콘센트 충전기가 티비밑에 있고 침대쪽에는 없어서 그건 불편하더라구요 그래도 뷰는 정말 만족합니다
