There are no chain hotels in North Korea, and there are no homestays, so if you want to travel in North Korea, you can only stay in state-run hotels. Among the state-run hotels, it is divided into high-end hotels and special hotels, high-end hotels are similar to domestic three-star hotels, and special hotels can be compared to domestic five-star hotels. Among them, Giethoorn Hotel is one of the few special hotels in North Korea, and it is also a hotel only for foreign tourists, and locals cannot stay.
As the top hotel in North Korea, many people have a vision for the Giethoorn Hotel. But in fact, after the real stay, we will find that although it is known as a special hotel, there are refrigerators, color TVs and air conditioners in the rooms, but no matter from the decoration style or the new and old degree of equipment, it is more like the style of the 80s and 90s in China. However, as the top hotel in North Korea, Giethoorn covers a large area, with a total area of 100,000 square meters and a total construction area of 90,000 square meters. Built next to the river, visitors can overlook the river from the hotel, and the scenery is very beautiful. Not only that, there are more than 1,000 modern and well-equipped rooms of different levels, each of which also has a bedroom, a reception room, various lighting devices, temperature control devices and automatic fire extinguishing devices. It can be said that most of the entertainment needs of tourists visiting North Korea can be satisfied.
You know, nowadays North Koreans do not have access to hot water 24 hours a day, but you can do it in Giethoorn hotels. What's even more surprising is that there are many recreational facilities in Giethoorn Hotel. Such as golf course, indoor swimming pool, sauna, massage, health care, bowling, billiards, KTV and so on. The hotel is home to a nightclub, a sauna and a casino. I have to say that the projects in the Giethoorn Hotel in North Korea are still very complete.
However, there are some precautions that must be observed for tourists. For example, after traveling to North Korea, you cannot easily call abroad. If you want to contact your family to report safety, you can only go to the public phone in the lobby to call. And the duration cannot be too long, if the prescribed period is exceeded, it will be banned. In addition, the glass of the Giethoorn Hotel is double-layered, and it is almost impossible to hear the sound from the outside. Not only that, but the hotel also prohibits opening of windows. When customers enter the room, it is very difficult to open the windows in the room, even with a screwdriver. Although I don't know why North Korea has a rule that windows cannot be opened, when you come to North Korea, you must abide by local rules.
In addition to these rules, there is another taboo that must be observed at the Giethoorn Hotel, that is, you cannot go to the 5th floor. Although Giethoorn Hotel is not without the 5th floor, the elevator never stops on the 5th floor. This mystery has always been talked about by outsiders, and some people want to find out. But the end is relatively miserable. There was once a curious American, in order to explore the secrets of the fifth floor of the Giethoorn Hotel, was identified by North Korea as a spy and directly arrested in a North Korean prison.
It is said that there is probably surveillance equipment on the fifth floor of the Giethoorn Hotel, but in addition to this, the walls of the corridor on the fifth floor are all printed with anti-American and anti-Japanese propaganda slogans and propaganda posters glorifying the North Korean leader. So the content of the fifth floor of the Giethoorn Hotel has not been confirmed, but the American who broke into the fifth floor alone was sentenced to 15 years of labor camp education. So this also reminds tourists who want to visit North Korea to put away their curiosity.
In addition, after arriving at the Giethoorn Hotel, North Korean hotels stipulate that tourists are not allowed to go out of the store without authorization, so when tourists land at the Giethoorn Hotel, the hotel staff will temporarily take away the tourists' passports. If you want to walk alone, be sure to contact your guide in advance, or go with a group. Otherwise, it is likely to be considered espionage and arrested by North Korea.
In general, although the special hotel in Giethoorn in North Korea has a strong sense of crossing and the facilities are not so advanced, it is very clean and the scenery is relatively good. However, if you want to travel to North Korea, you must abide by the local rules of North Korea, do not leave the group, travel at will, and do not explore unknown routes, otherwise it is likely to end up the same as that American.
