Kensington Hotel Pyeongchang

Located in the heart of Korea, this hotel boasts an excellent location and expansive grounds that stand out as its prime features. The mini farm on the premises is a delightful touch, with children particularly enjoying the experience of feeding the animals. Ample space to roam and explore makes it a great choice for families. However, the rooms could benefit from a modern update as they feel somewhat dated. While the beds could be more comfortable, the room's overall ambience is decent. The dining experience is commendable, though the prices lean towards the higher side. The dedicated play areas for children are a plus. In summary, while there are areas that need improvement, the hotel remains a generally good choice for travellers, especially those with kids.

As a family, we really enjoy the outdoor aspects of this hotel. The grounds are beautiful and my kids love the play areas, the hammocks, and the animals! That's why we went back this second time. The room is slightly smaller, but the beds are really comfortable. In terms of drawbacks, both times we've stayed here, the balcony door was a bit annoying and hard to open. While it's nice staying in this hotel, the biggest thing that deters me is that every thing is "extra." And it's not cheap. Having to pay 100,000KRW for the pool for my family and only getting to use it for 3 hours is A LOT...and it was packed, so it actually wasn't that fun. The food in the restaurants and buffet is also quite pricey. I wish that more was included in the stay and more reasonably priced. That being said, if you know that going in and are happy to do it, then it's an enjoyable and comfortable place to be.

Mostly pleased with this hotel. Recommend to a traveler as a family group as this hotel has amazing free/paid kids indoor playground. Swimming pool was also a plus except we had to pay for it.
