Not as great as I remembered but did the job of giving us somewhere warm and dry to stay. We weren't in the main building, which was a little strange, to me. Check in/out was smooth and easy.
It was quite magical to wake up and see that it had snowed heavily overnight
Unterkunft war gut gelegen gegenüber vom Express Bus Terminal. Zudem fuhr der Bus ein paar Meter weiter los zum Nationalpark. Die „Sehenwürdigkeiten“ von Sokcho waren zu Fuß erreichbar. Auf Grund der mangelnden Sauberkeit der Unterkunft würde ich sie aber nicht weiterempfehlen.
When you arrive from Seoul with the express bus, the hostel is located opposite the bus terminal. Right outside the hostel, you'll the take the bus 7 or 7-1 to Seoraksan, around 25 min. Friendly and helpful staff that spoke English. The negative was the hostel room was very small. Good for one person, but too small for two. The beds are quite hard, but it's the same all over Korea. There was good wi-fi in the room. Bathroom with towels, shampoo, conditioner and shower cream. Good AC. A small patio outside the hostel.
Great and convenient location. It is not very clean or luxurious like 4-5 star hotels but good enough for short stay. It could be better if staff were more kind
Nothing near you can find from pictures provided.
Very very small room. Not able to find a tiny space to open the carry on luggage. Paid for 2 nights, but left tge place after 1 night first thing in the morning
I just gave up to stay there because it is totally dirty and too much small. Do not believe anything in the photos. It is lower than cheapest motel even in USA. I stayed there around 20 minutes to book another hotel. I think that this accommodation seems a scam
The member of staff on the front desk spoke good English. The room was not large, but there was enough storage space for bags. The bathroom was compact and it had an all in one basin and shower unit. The rainfall shower was pretty powerful but the floor remained wet for a while. There were mugs and a hot water machine, but no coffee or tea was provided. It is a shame that there was no breakfast. It is quite expensive for what is offered. The location was really good for local buses to major attractions. The Express Bus Station is opposite, but this is only useful for buses to and from Seoul. Buses to and from other cities may make an inbound stop there but all other outbound intercity buses go from the Intercity Bus Station about 20 minutes away by bus. The hotel has a a variety of restaurants nearby, and the beach is a 5 minute walk away. The only real issue we had with the whole stay were the beds: the most uncomfortable we've ever experienced. Not firm, just hard. With better beds, this would be a more than decent stay and would justify the price.
The staff was really nice and helpful. They helped us so much with a lost item. Way more than we would have expected it. The room was great and clean. We really enjoyed our stay there and would recommend it!
