    We had a great time in Sokcho. The owners that ran the place were very friendly and gave us some helpful tips on the best things to do in the area. We enjoyed the rooftop and the accommodations location was great, a short walk to the beach. There were a few restaurants/convenience stores within walking distance. The room was all you needed to have a comfortable nights rest.

    upon entering we met the very nice dog "blackberry"; the super kind host then took out a map and told us where we should go + recommended we go to seoraksan- when we left for seoraksan the next day, he gave us bananas for energy. 10/10

    Very friendly staff with tips about what to do and which hike to do in seoraksan national park. On the day of we even got a bag of fruit to take with us on the hike. The day we were leaving we got a ride to the bus station. The price-quality was good, the room was basic but all the necessary things were available (eg fridge for every floor, shower amenities, even tooth paste). The mattress and pillows were comfortable.

    The owners were so kind, the rooms are cozy and charming, the location is very good (quiet but close to the beach... with the door open you can hear the waves), hotel is stocked with anything you could need or want, their dog is so precious, and the rooftop terrace is a great feature. Thank you for everything! I will stay again.

    There is a dog at the property who stays in the communal areas - it didn't bother my group but if you had allergies you may have to take this into consideration.

    The property was in a fantastic location - less than 7 minutes walk to the nearest beach "Oeongchi" which had a swimming area, toilets and umbrellas. Inside the hostel, the bedroom was very large and clean. The small balcony had a clothing rack which was great to use after the beach to dry our swimming gear. The beds were very comfortable, medium soft mattresses. Each bed had privacy curtains around it and a reading light. The room had great aircon and a small dressing table with mirror. There was also a clothes rail with hangers inside the room. The bathroom was a more traditional wet-style bathroom, the shower was not enclosed. There was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste and hand soap available. The owners were fantastic, very friendly people. They circled some areas on the map that we could eat at. Breakfast was self-service instant ramyeon and coffee. Near the guesthouse there was a convenience store and within a 20 minute walk there were many restaurants and a bustling area. The rooftop was a highlight of this guesthouse - it was fantastic to grab some drinks and sit on the picnic tables on the roof in the late evening.

    The husband and wife owners are really warm and welcoming! They are friendly and able to communicate well with us. It was a very comfortable stay that we feel regretful to only stay one night there. The location is really close to the beach so you can enjoy the morning or night walks and even catch the beautiful sunrise from the East Sea. Recommended stay!

    The bathroom is pretty small with a show just next to the toilet. It’s not bad and absolutely fine to live with. Just sometimes a bit inconvenient.

    Realy friendly staff, good communication and free breakfast. And the dog is so nice ❤️

    Went on a weekday (I DO NOT Recommend, go with FRIENDS :")))))) can totally imagine that this place will be vibing on a weekend! It was super quiet on my floor and on my way back since I was alone so perhaps not the best for a solo female traveler to come on a weekday! Also the terminal is a good 20 min walk away so yeah FYI!

    Couple was super friendly, already missing Beri :( their cute dog! Room was cozy and they had more than sufficient facilities! They were really helpful with directions, was a pity that I had to give Seoraksan a miss (I will be back :D)

    A bit far from bus stops if you have to carry luggage.

    The couple that runs The Blue Door are the nicest, most hospitable pair. Good English is spoken. Very kind and accommodating. Their dog Barry, a very friendly black lab, is an extra attraction. The location near the beach and near the Sokcho boardwalk is great. My single room was big enough for one person and very clean and comfortable.

    Such a welcoming guest house. Whilst I was hoping for a property filled with other hikers so we could discuss our Seoraksan plans, it didn't quite deliver on this (mid May is when the park starts to reopen after fire risks so we hadn't quite nailed our timing...!), BUT the owner was very friendly, helpful, spoke great English, and has a lovely dog. Parking was easy. The location was great for getting to Seoraksan but also for getting to the seafront, restaurants and our favourite craft beer place, Mont. We also had a really nice chilled evening sitting on the roof of the property with some beers and snacks, looking at the view. And the owners gave us some much appreciated apples as we left 😍 overall would recommend!

    Far from city and bus stop. But taxi not so expensive as usual. The rainy weather but not guesthouse fault.

    Friendly and helpful family staff. Quiet and kind big dog. Room and facilities okay. Free noddles, coffee and bananas the morning instead of a full breakfast.
