This hotel is not a bad hotel. Yes it's a little dated now with the furniture, bathrooms etc but, and if you are going by the DPRK's standards, the its 5*. In the UK or Europe it would be a 3* and thats because it would get + marks for the bowling alley, pool etc. The rooms are clean enough... More

If You go to North-Korea/Pyongyang, You must understand that this is not Your average holiday resort. So stars and everything else must be read with "DPRK filters on"... So, the hotel is huge colosseum of socialism. There are 1001 rooms. Ours was ok and looking other pictures from Koryo-hotel, they seem alike. So does the reception and isles. We spent... More

This is the hotel's promotional video which a friend recorded directly from the hotel's TV network. It is shown in the foyer and in guest rooms when the national TV station goes off air around 11pm. Hopefully TripAdvisor will allow this link to be published as there's very little information available on the internet about this hotel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz1sadURGBg The video... More

I guess by DPRK standards this hotel was nice. You really have no choice anyway; you stay where your tour says you stay. The hotel is huge! The lifts can be frustrating & have a mind of their own. Bring everything with you to breakfast for the day as it takes too long to go back to your room then... More

Our tour agency chose the hotel for us, we are not quite sure if there's another better hotel, but this is quite okay, clean bed, friendly but not helpful staff, expensive internet, a casino (some claimed that there was a brothel but I'm not sure), a few overpriced restaurant, a bowling and snooker place, shoe repair, etc. It must be...

Stayed here for 7 nights over a 14 night period. Its on an island along with the National Cinema and the Football stadium. The benefit of being located here is that you can walk out of the hotel without your "guide" - but only for a shourt distance! Room was large with a seperate lounge area. Bathrom had a bath... More

Pleasantly surprised by the quality of the rooms (decent size and clean) and food (kimchi, kimchi, kimchi). TV channels were great if you want to get a taste for the regimes stories of the dear leader and glorious regime. Bowling, table tennis and a cheap bar just added to the whole experience. . . More

Strong 80's feeling about this hotel. Kind of top end 80's hotel, that never changed a thing, so now it is just weird and special at the same time. But that suits a lot of your others experiences in North Korea, so that is only appropriate. The hotel has laundry service (give your stuff to them in the morning, get... More

We went as a family with 3 children (24, 21, 17) with Koryo Tours on an ‘individual’ tour and are absolutely satisfied and have nothing but compliments. Although we booked the exclusive tour we asked to stay at this hotel and didn’t regret it. It met our expectations: the view from the floors higher up are unbeatable, and alone make... More
