Sokcho hotellia

Plussat: The host gave us a warm welcome and explained how we could best reach the sites we wanted to visit.

Plussat: A most friendly host. Beautiful rooms and excellent breakfast. I can recommend this accommodation to anyone visiting Sokcho and the Seorak area

Plussat: The owner, mr. Hwang is super friendly. Infrastructure is very clean and comfortable. Location is right next to the main road leading into Seoraksan National Park.

Plussat: We loved the quirky room layout (great loft), the jacuzzi tub, the DVD library, the friendly dogs, and the overall great value for the cost. The location is a little hard to find but very well positioned for quickly getting to both the national park and the beach. They gave us recommendations for dining in town that all turned out to be perfect!

Miinukset: We missed the driveway at first because it appears to be marked by the sign advertising different lodging next door. They could not accommodate a late checkout even though it was not busy, due to the fact that their contract cleaning staff can only come at a set time. The breakfast was good but not great.

Plussat: The host. The location. The Korean BBQ nearby. The view. Bus stops just nearby.

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: Cosy and homely. Pick up and drop off svc was great and helped us find our way around. Local recommendations for food, places to go in sokcho and seoraksan hiking trails. Jacuzzi tub was a bonus. Friendly owner and staff. Our 2-yr old toddler had lots of fun.

Plussat: The staff was super nice and the Room was clean and had a lot of Space to offer. The view was also really good. Felt super relaxed After just a few nights there. Would definitely book again!

Plussat: Everything was great about the place. Juha came to pick us up at the bus station when we arrived and he even gave us a ride on the last day to go to the Sunrise Park where we wanted to go. They prepared us the breakfast for the morning and delivered us to our room. The room was bigger than expected, really cleaned and really quiet. Our only regret was that we have stayed there only one night. We will definitely come back again next time we will go to Sokcho.

Miinukset: Everything was just perfect.

Plussat: Very friendly host. He picked us up from Bus Terminal and brought us back after the stay. Excellent service.

Plussat: Juha was a wonderful host, sincere and warm.

Plussat: The host(Yoo) was absolutely wonderful, he explained so much so well, helped out when he could. I will recommend this hostel to everyone who will ever travel to Sokcho.

Plussat: Mr Yoo was very helpfull! We ha a little problem with the air condition and he solved it in the moment!

Miinukset: It wsn’t so easy find the hostel, but perhaps it was our fault

Plussat: The personal hospitality of Mr. Yoo. Despite being full and very busy, he and others were very helpful and kind. Very eclectic decor and clean in all respects.

Miinukset: Absolutely NOTHING.

Plussat: Such a warm and homey place

Miinukset: No elevator

Plussat: Friendly manager/owner, nice facilities, everything was well organised. Quite a convenient location although not central. Easy to move around with bus station nearby. Nice toiletries provided as well. Facilities to chill with a nice area, foosball machine, dart board etc.

Miinukset: Pillow was a bit soft but that is personal preference.

Plussat: Mr Yoo does everything he can to make your stay comfortable. He can help out with information on how to get to the NP (half an hour by bus) or where and what to eat and where to go next. The ho(s)tel is very cosy with a nice hangout area, where you can sit with a book, drink (free) tea or coffee, play a game of darts. Very nice after a long day of hiking in Seoraksan NP. There is a quiet time after 11pm which is nice. It is a short walk into town or you can take a local bus in front of the hostel. The intercity bus terminal is a 3min walk (note: the express bus terminal is a different bus terminal on the other side of town!!). The (private ensuite) room is clean, and has all amenities you need. Nice and big bathroom, cosy room with good bed. In the hallway on every floor there is a (free) water dispenser to use. Breakfast is simple but sufficient: toast with butter, ham and cheese, cereals with milk, juice and coffee or tea. I can definitely recommend this place!!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Yoo, the owner, was very friendly and dedicated to its customer, taking the time to sit down with us at our arrival to present the city and the different types of food we could find around the hostel. The decoration of the hostel was very nice and made the place really cosy. Everything was very clean, comfy, and the room we stayed in looked freshly refurbished. We only stayed one night after hiking the whole day in Seoragsan but we really enjoyed it and wished we could have stayed a little bit more!

Plussat: everything is great! Staff, facilities, location etc. 1. Location: (1)just on the Main Street and easily be found; (2) 1 minute to convenient shop 2.staff: Yong( I hope I write his name correct) is perfect, smiling and warm he gives you good advice about food and places to go 3. Facilities: the place is super clean and smells so good. good points to mention (1)bathroom and dorm is separated it’s well designed (2)room is spacious (3) the place have washing machine and dryer also, though not for free but it’s fair (4) they offer free towels (5) bed is soft enough but not too soft which is quite comfortable (6)they have two locker for guests enough room to put your stuff in (7)they offer free breakfast not only butter but also cheese! And it starts at 6am which is perfect for people who get up early and rush to go (8)the place get a lot of paintings and the decorations are cute also the color of the place is bright and well designed (9) a small fridge in your dorm (10) you can eat your food inside or outside and outside is also well decorated (11) you can see the sea on rooftop All in all, among all the hostels and hotels I’ve stayed I highly recommend this one to you cause you’ll get at least 4 star service and accommodations with a little money!

Miinukset: Nothing really. But Yong I think rooftop can also be decorated for people to have food and drink and talk

Plussat: Really Great.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The manager Huu was really informative on arrive and recommended the best way to get to the national park, the best hikes to take as well as hints and tips for the town itself. Really great hostel and would 100% recommend

Plussat: Good location, nice and big rooms, there is water park inside the hotel

Miinukset: The breakfast is not so good for international guests ( mainly Korean style), the main activities in side the hotel you should pay for it like swimming pool, water park and also inside the park you should again pay for everything like life jacket and seats

Plussat: Breakfast is not good, limited food type

Miinukset: need to grant travelers to enter the swimming pool for fee

Plussat: The view was fantastic!

Miinukset: N/A

Plussat: This is a notable hotel resort located on a spit of land with ocean on three sides. The ocean view was spectacular and room was spacious and comfortable. The only downside was having to pay a water park entry fee in order to use the main hotel pool.

Miinukset: Having to pay the pricey water park entry fee (around 50 USD per adult) in order to use the pool felt like a total rip-off. This is something the hotel ought to change.

Plussat: The breakfast was great, but way overpriced to the point that eating locally was just a better bargain. The ONLY positive to the breakfast was the convenience of having it in the hotel.

Miinukset: Price of food within the restaurant. Other than that, AMAZING HOTEL AND LOCATION!!!!! Can't wait to go back.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Check in process is not acceptable! Every single thing is extra charged.

Plussat: location is good

Miinukset: very small and kid level infinity fool. roomservice including towel and facilities is very bad.

Plussat: Beautiful seaside resort location, perched on elevated ground. Nice view of the area with the walk around the resort. Unfortunately, the beach activities are not open until summer holidays so the beaches are quiet and we could not enjoy the water.

Miinukset: The F&B choices are rather limited and some of the stores opened late or closed early. The Lotteria fast food was not opened until 2:30pm in the weekends and the staff told us the hamburger was sold out at 6pm on Mon evening, which left us puzzled. Even the hotel cafe last order was at 8:30pm.

Plussat: The room was excellent. The location is great.

Miinukset: The pool arrangements (a separate fee) are odd. No access to hotel residents apart from a free period in the evening - at that time the pool is full - impossible to swim. The hotel is generally an odd set-up. Not much available in terms of restaurants etc. Visitors from the west will find it odd. Overpriced. Apart from the room, not really a 5 star hotel.

Plussat: The resturants were great but it need more international dishes

Plussat: Good location, big rooms

Miinukset: They don’t clean the rooms during your stay. Hotel is tired and needs a lick of paint.

Plussat: close to transit, rooms clean,

Miinukset: no english, no coffee in rooms, smelled funny, mattresses very stiff

Plussat: Spacious room. Great kitchen facilities. 2 big bathroom Walking distance to Sokcho bus terminal & bus stop going to Seoraksan Friendly staff although limited English spoken

Miinukset: Hotel didn't have iron for guests to borrow or rent. I wish the hotel could provide common area for ironing & laundry. Room spacious but they only have room for double bed. If you are more than 2 person they provide mattress only.

Plussat: Very big rooms Equipped kitchen TV in every room Close to beach

Miinukset: Apparently, the hotel has some sport and leisure equipment, but we didn't know because we get all the descriptions in Korean Only one key per room

Plussat: Near to express bus terminal about 5 min walk. Near to bus stop to go Seoraksan/ Naksan. Room is very big.

Miinukset: You have to empty your trash on last day and throw it at ground floor. No aircon during spring. Not sound proof. Bed is rather hard. Staff doesnt speak English.

Plussat: Very close to beach, bus station. Local buses are handy. Very clean room, convenience and snack place in lobby helps. Of language is a tough one, but everyone try’s. great deck area, BBQ and socialise, picnic tables. Property is dated, but cleaning and updates always being done. Will return again if heading to Sokcho

Plussat: Great location, clean and very spacious. Kitchenette was very handy. Wifi was excellent. Staff were friendly. Handy convenience store down in the foyer. Excellent value.

Miinukset: Would have been nice to have cushions to sit on for the low coffee table but nothing major.

Plussat: Excellent for family stay with kids. Good kitchenette with appropriate kitchenware! Also two washrooms make it more comfortable especially with kids!! To top it the location is a big plus as it is close to the beach and the Express Bus Terminal.

Plussat: Beach front.

Miinukset: Early check in is not allowed. Not even 30 minute. Floor was dirty. you can hear all the noise from top floor. Request of cleaning garbage to guest. Bed was not comfortable.

Plussat: Good for value for money!!

Miinukset: When I moved a bed I found out dirts stacked on the floor.

Plussat: It was very close to the start of the walks.

Miinukset: Since the hotel was at the entrance to the national park we thought it would cater to visitors to the park. How wrong were we. There was no where to dry clothes after being caught in the rain. The room was small so we jad wet clothes all over the place.

Plussat: Perfect location if you want to visit the national park, just a few steps away from the park entrance

Miinukset: This hotel which is said to have five stars has definitely seen better days. The rooms are dark and smell bad, the meals are expensive and the pool is mini. It is ok to stay for a night when visiting the park, but don’t expect any luxury or glamour.

Plussat: Location at the entrance of Seorak-dong National Park. Very good Korean restaurant and nice buffet breakfast

Miinukset: Kitchen closing at 8pm in restaurant is too early

Miinukset: The view was not on the mountain! But it seems it was previsible. And the shower, bad evacuation and isolation, all was wet after the shower! But the rest was perfect

Plussat: The location was great and close by the seoraksan park as we were planning for a long hike to the peak and back in one day.

Miinukset: Well I am not sure how did booking.com give it a 4 stars hotel, but they are way far from being a 3 starts hotel. If you arrive in the local bus, the bus drops you on the road which is about 50 meters up hill away from the reception of the hotel. If you have a big bag, get ready to push as hard as possible. No service or at least someone to help you with the bags. In 4 stars hotel, they have a golf buggy for pickup. Reception bearly speaks English, as far as I know, I've been roaming around the world and I have never seen a receptionist that doesn't know basic English. Room, the room was dirty and the lights were dim. The couch was dirty with white stains and the bed sheet had black lines. The toilet was old, the sink faucet and the shower faucet were broken. When the room service came the other day, she did not remove the tea cups and put new ones and she left the garbage bin full. All in all its a horrible experience for a 4 star hotel, it's all about expectations and minimum requirements.

Plussat: Location Bed

Miinukset: Generally we take a Deluxe Double and the view is amazing BUT this time it was terrible. View was completely blocked by a wall. Room was full of dust and floor carpet was full of hair No one to help you carry your heavy luggage from the reception to the room

Plussat: Hotel is next to the park entrance avoiding losing time to arrive there. Staff was friendly and helped in all ways to have a better experience

Miinukset: Dinner buffet was a little overpriced

Plussat: The location was amazing just a few steps away from Seoraksan National park. and the staff was very kind

Miinukset: - food and beverage prices at the hotel are more expensive than London or New York !! -hotel is in a need of a refresh as it looks very old

Plussat: The location is incredible, and the rooms themselves are very good.

Miinukset: The staff were very unhelpful, they denied us the breakfast even though we had booked it and they had confirmed it on arrival. Also the dinner was extremely expensive for a premade pizza which was undercooked; when we asked for the pizza to have no mushrooms on it they told us that it would be too hard to do (it took us about 30 seconds to do when the pizza arrived) and when it did it was extremely undercooked. When we asked for it to be cooked more they did so while glaring at us and then came back with it still undercooked. Would stay well away from the food in the hotel, go to the 7/11 outside.

Plussat: The proximity to Seoraksan, and the view.

Miinukset: Hotel is unkempt. Carpets look dingy, shower curtain had mildew, the sign at the front of the hotel has weeds growing from it. We couldnt swim because the pool was gross.

Plussat: The hotel is next to the ocean. Therefore, you can sleep with sounds from the ocean.

Miinukset: I do not have anything for the hotel, but only for the booking.com which does not provide an offer with breakfast for more than two person.

Plussat: Location Room size View Big size bed fam suite fits 4 confortably

Miinukset: No room service. Bathroom light is very dim

Plussat: The hotel near Sokcho beach. And it had entrance to the light house.

Miinukset: The bed was not comfortable at allllll And the sheets were dirty as if it was not changed from the last customer!!!!

Plussat: Clean and nice location with good views.

Miinukset: Very difficult to get parking inside, they provide parking ticket to park in public parking.

Plussat: I like the view. It's near multiple light houses on the ocean.

Miinukset: Not really.

Plussat: The staff were very friendly and very high qualtity service, they give us a very good experience, and the view was amazing

Plussat: Excellent, prominent location. Great views from most rooms. Away from the bustle of the city center.

Miinukset: Mostly seafood restaurants in the area. No beach within walking distance (though within a few minutes of driving, yes).

Plussat: The second floor is connected to the outside walk way and the harbor view from the room was great.

Miinukset: The room was not enough for 3people.

Plussat: The room was spacious and superb. It was equipped with many useful amenities and kitchen utensils. It is perfect place if you want to be away from city, and enjoy a peaceful and calm environment.

Miinukset: Transportation might not be easy as the location is not near city center

Plussat: Good Extra activities, kids area, kareoke

Miinukset: No daily made service unless requested

Plussat: Location, cleanliness

Plussat: Facilities, convenience, kids area, water park.

Miinukset: I liked it, but if i just choose, ac unit is in the window room with the bed, so the kitchen and back room ondol room for really stuffy and hot

Plussat: Comfortable bed

Miinukset: There was a hair on the bed. A little bit noisy in the midnight.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: The hotel info said there was a pool but there wasn't. We had to use the pool nearby water park which costed us £35 per person for a swimming pool! Even kid's price is £30! They should make that more clearly on booking.com website. I travelled with 9 years old and the swimming pool was the only reason why I booked This hotel. So it was a shock to pay over £100 for three adults and one child. One of adults received 50% discount due to his disability and the rest were with hotel guest discounts. The room will not be cleaned during your stay. We stayed for two nights. They didn't clean the room.

Plussat: It has kitchen and convenience store in the resort , staff are helpful although having difficulty to communicate in English.

Miinukset: No information are given in English , even when we want to go down to town which is close no one could explain while no information for foreigner . In fact upon check out time , while we explore the place by ourselves, we found out there was local bus with downtown route that stop at the water park which is only walking distance to hotel

Miinukset: blood stains on the inner bed sheet... showed the sheets had not been changed, and my wifes parents in the other room had to have the entire bed linens replaced due to lots of previous guest HAIR. Also, the rooms are auto set to 30Degrees Celcius when no room key has been inserted to activate customer controls... which meant it was between 85-88 Degrees when we entered the room... opening the window cooled things off quickly, thankfully. the facilities were lacking even a sundries store, and we had to drive over a mile just to get sodas and snacks for the room. I had thought ~$100/room/night was a good deal, but now I know that its cheap because of the off season and staff really don't make an effort to take care of the rooms or the customers.

Plussat: it was just ok....not the best. I like that they cater for kids

Miinukset: that they don't clean rooms daily

Plussat: Perfect view Clean room Good location

Plussat: Great view of ocean.Very comfy bed.Great bath.Fantastic free breakfast.Plenty of free car parking. 5 free cans of beer plus 2 water.Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Nice Ocean view and good size of room

Miinukset: The hotel situate on the hill so, it is difficult for elderly to walk up. The most convenient way to come to this hotel is by Taxi because it is far away from shopping street and fish market. About 10 mins walk up-hill from bus station.

Plussat: Excellent location and balcony to the see!

Miinukset: Bathroom, shower was dirty and no hot water enough~

Plussat: Nice ocean view and not to expensive.

Miinukset: The AC didn't work (maybe shut off), the balcony screen door would not close (unable to enjoy the sea air) bed was as hard as a rock!

Miinukset: none

Plussat: Loved the hot tub. Location was very convenient for Seoroksan and Sokcho

Miinukset: Beds were a bit hard for western comfort. Breakfast was limited.

Plussat: Quite big TV with DVDs, and many board games are available. The breakfast was good.

Miinukset: The property is wooden so you can hear everything from your room. In addition, you have to wait for 2 hours to fill the spa with water. The water thrust is very weak in spa, but in the shower it is quite strong.

Plussat: A really lovely, comfortable, family-run guest house. It's a 10 minute walk from the sea front and bus stops, and easy to get to Sokcho, Yangyang, Seoraksan and Gangneung. The room was cosy and warm (we were there in winter) with a big hot tub. The breakfast was good, and the owners very lovely and helpful.

Plussat: The room was really clean and nice. The breakfast was amazing it is not to light that you get fast hungry and not to heavy that you can't climb the mountain. It give you all the Supplements you need to start the day. The owner are really nice persons and help you if they can!

Plussat: This place is amazing! The location is beautiful and the hosts are so lovely; they even drove my partner and I to the bus stop for Seoraksan at the end of our stay.

Plussat: The room was very clean and the host super friendly. We used the whirlpool in the room and were very happy with it. The breakfast was delicious, too.

Plussat: The staff is really friendly, they take care about their customers, really lovely. Breakfast is fresh and handmade. I recommend

Plussat: Location to the park we were hiking in, friendly owner, ease of check in, home like feel of place

Miinukset: Mattress was very firm for our liking, so sleep was not quality

Plussat: The ocean view breakfast was splendid.

Miinukset: The lamp was broken, the over head lighting was poor. Mirrors, sink, carpet, floors were dirty

Plussat: Lämmitetty sänky ja WC pytyn kansi .

Miinukset: There was no place for clothes. Our clothes was 3 weeks on the floor. Rooms need wardrobes. From 22.2 start building site in next house , terrible noise. Owners cannot speak English , but they phoned to their daughter , who can very good English. Towels was so small.

Plussat: The staff was friendly (we were allowed to leave our bags for a little after checkout so we could eat without carrying everything around before departing). The place was so close to the beach and terminal. I would say the location is the best part. It was a good price for a decent sized bed and bathroom (with a tub). It was clean and overall a good place.

Miinukset: There was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke or something like that. Also, it is slightly more worn down than in the photos.

Plussat: Hyvä sijainti, siisti.

Miinukset: Melko kallis hotellin tasoon nähden.

Plussat: Comfortable room. It worthy to price

Miinukset: It was a little bit dirty in bathroom

Plussat: The location was excellence. Super close to the express bus station and beach. The hotel is basic, but has all the amenities you need. The room was cleaned daily. And the beds comfortableVery easy to get to the national park and other attraction from this hotel. An excellence base
