Hotel Maremons
While the service was friendly, I felt the hotel itself was not as advertised. The hotel itself seemed a little outdated. The bed was dreadfully hard and the pool was drained and closed. Overall it was pretty underwhelming.

Sokcho Scenic House Pension
Det var ett trevligt ställe med nära till både strand och fiskehamn. Närhet till restauranger med fantastisk mat. Helt klart prisvärt. Pensionatet ligger i en liten stad väldigt nära naturen vilket betyder att det finns en hel del mygg men de har myggnät framför balkongdörren. Bra att kunna kommunicera ...
