Dongmyong Hotel

A lovely location beside the sea

Reviewed By cdb15427

My room had a view of the sea, walkway to the fishing boats and the lighthouse -- marvellous sunrise. A little loud at dawn when fishers were heading to their boats. Windows in room were taped shut. Bed was very firm. No elevator in this hotel. My room was on 4th floor. Staff assisted to bring my luggage to/from my room. Small shop with sundries and alcohol. Evening meal included fresh seafood - delicious scallops in the shell that required some cleaning before consuming. Friendly staff and good location.

Majon Bathing Resort

Great beach resort

Reviewed By bigjoelittlejoe

From Pyongyang it's a 3 hour drive, but worth thr trip. Great quaint resort with chalit type accommodation. Our guides and driver sheared in their own rooms with on suit. Great location and lovely beach. We had a large apartment with living room, bedroom and full size bathroom. Tea and coffee making and flat screen TV. The main hotel has dining rooms, shops and bar. We are there for our breakfast and evening meals. Was a great stop off before exploring the rest of our trip.

Chongjin Hotel

Very modest hotel,but friendly staff

Reviewed By John B

Our group of 14 travellers stayed here for 1 night in September. A couple of us were in the annex across the gated courtyard. The rooms were small, and had a bamboo type of flooring. There was no water in the sink, and the toilet did not flush, but at least it was a western style one!. The bathtub was full of water (where did they get it), and there was a small basin to use for dipping into the bath for flushing the toilet. Never had any power cuts, but did in many other places, even in Pyongyang. The dinner was excellent, and served by very friendly staff, but the bottled beer was not cold. I did go over to the microbrewery and tied their beer. I didn't like it - have never said that about any beer before. We barely heard the propaganda truck in the morning as we were facing away from the courtyard, where it played for about 90 minutes 6 - 7:30AM. The beds were hard and the rooms were small, but clean and tidy.. There were not a lot of western tourists around, as not many visit to this region of NK, but if you are willing to put up with these inconveniences, it's a good experience for a visit. The breakfast was also very good

Baegaebong Hotel

Nice hotel for the middle of nowhere!

Reviewed By John B

Our group of 14 stayed here for 2 nights, to pay a visit to Mt Paektu and surrounding areas. The lobby and check-in area was fairly well lit and tidy. The rooms were spartan, with the beds being about 16 inches from the floor, and very hard, as was the small pillow. The flooring was made of a bamboo type material and slippers were provided for you to use while walking on them. The sinks were separate from the toilet/shower area, but neither of them had any running water. When the cold water finally came on it was a browny/red colour and not fit to drink or wash with. The rooms were clean and tidy. We were told that there would be hot water available from 6-8 PM, and 6-8 AM for showers. It was available then, but only warm. Our first night there, we were getting ready to go down for dinner, and the lights went out all over the annex where we were located. They were off for perhaps 10 minutes, so make sure you take a flashlight with you and keep it handy at all times. The food was good, and the beer cold. We got treated to a potato BBQ in the garden on the second night. A pretty good experience and the potatoes tasted OK, once you got the blackened peel off them . If you are planning to visit Mt Paektu, this is the only tourist hotel around. You will be in for an experience with the journey from the airport to the hotel with the unpaved roads. At least they had western style toilets.

Jangsusan Hotel

Hardest bed ever!

Reviewed By cdb15427

Only hotel in Pyongsong open for tourists. Basic facilities with fairly reliable electricity and hotel water. Said to have one of the best bartenders in the country. Amenities include billiards, karaoke, and hairdresser.
