A lovely and enjoyable stay at Kensington Flora”

We are a family of 5 (2 adults & 3 children) that booked 2 family suites in late Dec. The hotel was well decorated to create a festive mood for Christmas. The rooms were clean with a beautiful view that overlooked the garden. The beds were very comfortable. It snowed heavily during our stay there and we had a great time taking photos and playing with the snow. They even had a small animal farm which delighted my kids. We especially want to thank IRENE LEE at the recep who went out of her way to book transport for us to go Yongpyong Ski Resort and other places, there was great follow-up to ensure our requests were carried through. Though taxi fare from Kensington to Yongpyong was about US$30 for a short 10-15 min ride, we got to stay in a hotel with beautiful and tranquil surrounding at good prices so it was well worth the stay. Thank you, Kensington Flora.

Snowboard trip for husband and wife”

Our stay was great. Breakfast was delicious and started serving at 7am, which was good because it is about 25 minutes to get to Drahon Valley ski resort from the hotel, and the first chair goes up the mountain at 0830. We also ate dinner there on Saturday at Cafe Fleuri. Very limited options, as in 3 meals to choose from, but they all looked delicious. The lobby has a really cool setup for the Olympics, including a lot of historical paraphernalia. The hotel is also close to Odae National Park, which houses multiple temples and lots of hiking trails. Overall: great stay for the price, especially if you are driving.

Great Short Stay”

A very pleasant stay. Convenient to nearby ski resort at a fraction of the price. Friendly helpful staff - very comfortable rooms with a modern european feel and in-room wifi. Would recommend for a sort stay.

Cheap alternative to Yeongpyong resorts”

We went skiing at Yeongpyong (Pyongchang) ski resort for the weekend. It's a 15 to 20 min drive to the main ski lodge. This place has big gardens that I'm sure are beautiful in the spring, but this great hotel is underutilized during the winter, so prices are pretty reasonable for a 4 star hotel

Good experience in the hotel.”

Kensington Flora Hotel is located very near to Mt. Odae Korea National Park. If you want to consider trekking to the mountain, this hotel would be a perfect choice. The breakfast buffet is quite good, and the French garden is also very quiet and nice place to walk around in the morning. The overall rate is quite good considering the hotel facility and service level (Remember that this is not a first grade hotel, so some facilities may not be at a satisfactory level) The shortcoming is that on Sunday there is a wedding ceremony at the 2nd floor, which may be quite noisy. so that if you need a peaceful Sunday morning, then you need to check other hotels.

Great hotel but don't go in winter”

I look forward to returning in Spring or Fall and staying here while going to the nearby national park. But don't go to this hotel in winter. The room was VERY COLD! We followed instructions for heating the room and called the front desk three times to increase the temperature, but still it was so cold we kept coats on. They finally brought us a space heater designed for maybe 5 cubic meters. Keeping it right next to the bed made things tolerable. We were told it's a cold time of year and the resort is 700 meters above sea level; well, I've spent the past 16 years in the US living at 800 meters and I frequently go on ski trips where I am 2000-2500 meters above sea level, yet I have NEVER had a hotel/motel room so cold. And we spent most of our time in the area at Alpensia resort -- almost the same altitude, but much warmer indoors. Also, this place is a bit remote; it's a 25,000 KRW (about $24 USD) taxi ride one-way to the nearest ski spots, and dining options are limited and expensive. Keep those factors in mind when noticing the cost savings. It's really quite a nice facility, though. I would stay there again -- just not in winter.

Higher end hotel surrounded by beautiful mountains”

The hotel is located just outside Odaesan National Park and it is located in a valley surrounded by mountains. The view from the room was incredible and you could leave the window open and enjoy the quiet mountain air. It is a great hotel if you want to get away from the city to enjoy the mountains, but you don't want to camp. You should also have your own vehicle, since public transportation is limited.

Kensington Flora Hotel”

Very quiet place and do not have much entertainment if it is not the winter season for skiing. Scenary is nice but very small area. Only good if you would like to get away from the city. For scenary viewing, one day stay is more than sufficient. Too far away from the airport. By taxi from the airport, takes about USD350 around 3.5hrs to get there.

I arrived to the hotel at 1 pm with my family and young kids and the staff on the reception asked ”

me to wait until 3 pm for check in. I totally respected them regarding the check in time and was waiting, but i was suprised and really annoyed when other people arrived one hour later around 2 pm and they checked them in directly without waiting which i think that it’s totally unprofessional.

not good, not bad”

there is good place for rest. But location is not perfect.

Nice and friendly staff hotel”

The view and area is perfect to relax and enjoy your vacation

good and friendly staff. very nice outdoor winter scenery!”

good and friendly staff. very nice outdoor winter scenery!

Love the hotel because of the shuttle bus and gardens”

Hotel has shuttle bus to Jinbu which made it very convenient to visit the Trout Festival. The gardens are also very lovely to walk around espeially in the evening when the lights are on.

Very Isolated”

The hotel is a beacon in the middle of nowhere. Unless you have a car, you're pretty much stuck there. The pool is W15000 to use for guests which is 50% of normal rate. You really can't walk to any nearby restaurants because you have to walk along an unlit road.

Comfortable rooms and hotel surrounding very quiet”

This is a scenic hotel. It is near to the forest and mountains, and from the room, we can see the mountains and streams, very peaceful and air is fresh. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly. The beds and towels are clean and room smell good. We enjoy our stay there and would consider staying there again.

Scenic beauty and a nice facility...”

The first and largest disappointment one will have is the staff speaks little to know English nor did they choose to make an effort to try. The decor is dated but in good order. The balcony was dirty but offered a fantastic view of the mountains. The room we had included two twin beds but it was simple to slide them together. If you don't have a car be prepared to spend a small fortune in taxi fares to see all the local attractions but we found some amazing restaurants deep in the countryside within a $20 ride...

Good location”

Good location by Alpensia and Yongpyeong ski resorts (about 15 min drive), pretty clean. Wasn't as happy with the amenities like the pool -- which you have to pay to use even though a hotel guest.
