Hotels in North Korea

Hotels: 

Pyongyang has a few first-class hotels where foreign visitors stay, although groups cannot know in advance which one will be used. All other towns have at least one first-class hotel for use by groups. Visitors must stay in designated tourist hotels (rather than in local yogwan). These are generally of reasonable standard, and are graded as deluxe, first, second and third class.
