    Communication before arrival was a bit difficult. They could not tell me the name of the bus stop. It's called something like "Shopping district". (A couple of kiosks and restaurants, I didn't need more).

    Very friendly owner. You have to use the translator but nevermind. A HUGE room. It's about 3 stops from the NP.

    The village doesn’t have many food options, but there are some and alternatively the owner offers free noodles.

    Spotless rooms for a very good price. Free shampoo, noodles, breakfast and coffee. The area is a bit run down with lots of empty hotels, no clue why, but that doesn’t make it feel unsafe. The owners great and does his best to make you feel comfortable. There’s a direct bus going to the park. We chose to walk back from the park which took 40min. You can also stay in Sokcho, but we liked the calm vibe outside of the chaotic city and close to the park.

    The whole place was so clean and comfortable. It is so close to the bus station - and it takes 7 mins to the Seoraksan national park. Plus, they're very kind to provide laundry service and free coffee/tea. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

    Great hotel that would deserve a greater flow of tourists

    • Korean Ondol Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    The hotel will soon need some modernization and the area is unfortunately a little downgraded (full of decadent hotels and touristic structures that evidently degraded because of a low touristic flow). It is quite close to the Seoraksan N.P. (15min walking to the entrance), but not close enough in the evening, when you are dead tired after a day of trekking. Luckily there is a bus that drives from the entrance (in 5min you are at the hotel).

    Great hotel, rooms (korean style) very big, warm and comfortable, with a large bathroom and a mini kitchen. Staff is excellent, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great, too, enough food and enough variety. Loved it!

    Perfect location to go for a hike at Seorak mountain. The hostel had a very nice and friendly atmosphere. They provide with snack and coffee at all times which was very pleasant. Nice simple breakfast was also very nice. The room was comfy and everything was smooth and non-problematic. Would def go again next time we are there.

    Beds were very hard so I had to layer the blankets up underneath me to cushion from it. There were some mosquitos but they didn’t last long after I declared chemical warefare with the bug spray. No Hot spring as mentioned in the name but I probably could’ve figured that out with some research

    Pretty close to the Seoraksan mountains which was definitely the highlight. Free drinks in the lobby which was convenient. Room was big and you could watch YouTube and Netflix on the tv.

    The location is not that great. This area is pretty much a dead town, there's not many food in the area, and not many other accommodation. Walking to entrance of seoraksan takes at least 40 min.

    Service was great! lady went the extra mile to do laundry for us, folding and putting back in our room. Room is rather spacious, and simple breakfast and refreshment provided.

    The location of the property was in a ghost town. No one around when we arrived and had to wait an hour to check in

    The rooms were clean and modern. Free drinks and instant noodles all day were a bonus. Breakfast provided good options.

    only issue is the shower takes about 5-10 minutes to warm up. so run it before you get in otherwise will be a long wait!

    The property is very clean, albeit in a quite part where there are lots of old buildings due to a massive influx of tourism that then reduced so lots of empty places. however this place is great! comfy beds, clean. free noodles, coffee, soft drinks. free laundry service. the owners don’t speak English but will easily translate via google and be sure helpful. they bought us beer at the chicken shop and drove into town to give us information leaflets! Wi-Fi is good and easily accessible to the park via walk (30-45 mins) or bus. would definitely recommend and stay again.

    The Resotel is much closer to Seoraksan National Park than the description has suggested. It is still a 45-minute-walk, but it is worth due to the beautiful first view of Seoraksan. Also, there is a direct bus from Sokcho, which also can take you to the National Park. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff could not speak English, but they made a huge effort to communicate with me.

    First night we slept badly because of the barking dog belonging to the hotel owner. The musquito net in front of the window was also broken so they were swarming across our room. When we requested a different room for the second night this was no problem. Reception was often unattended (which happens a lot in Korea).

    Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were allowed to store luggage for a night while we went on a two day hike. Location is very nice if you want to go hiking in Seoraksan park. Laundry options available and the room was spacious.

    I think some warmer, soft lighting like a lamp in the room would be good. The hot water takes quite some time to heat up but will get there eventually.

    The room was large and comfortable. The location is great. The room I stayed in had heated floors and bed! Breakfast was also good. There are some nice touches like a water cooler on my level and ample towels in the room.
