The hostel is within a 15-minute drive from Songjeong Beach and the famous coffee street along the beach. Ojukheon, a famous residence of a politician of Joseon Dynasty built in the 1500s, is also within a 15-miute from the hostel. Gangneung Express Bus Terminal is a 10-minute drive away. Super kind host, I arrived super early in the morning and she immediately opened the door so I could drop off my luggage and freshen up with some water and freshly made corn and an egg. Bed was also super comfortable and the location was within walking distance from the KTX station and a busstation so eventhough I only stayed one night I had the best time!

Mr. Slow

Sokcho

All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine, a bidet, a hairdryer and a wardrobe. The rooms include a private bathroom and a shower, and some rooms at the hostel have a terrace. At Mr. Slow rooms come with bed linen and towels. Beautiful view, very comfortable bed well equiped rooms with a cafe right below. Seems to only have 2 rooms available, we booked both and each has a totally different layout. Both rooms are lovely. No lift, and rooms are on level 3 and 4. It's okay if no old folks or huge luggages to carry. But would totally still recommend this place to stay, and if possible more than 1 night to enjoy the space.
