Great
GGuest UserI was looking for a budget-friendly hotel in Sokcho to stay overnight on my way to Goseong, and this one caught my eye. Even though it was a weekend, I booked it for around 80,000 won, and the hotel exceeded my expectations! It's so clean and pretty; I truly think it offers the best value for money. My husband was also very satisfied. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sokcho. It seems to be more of a local neighborhood than a tourist spot, but there are some great eateries nearby, like the original Manseok Dakgangjeong and Cheongchosu Mulhoe branches. We also got some fresh sashimi from Cheongho Hwareohoe Center, which was delicious and generous in portion. While it's a bit far from the main tourist attractions, I highly recommend it if you're looking for the best value-for-money hotel.
GGuest UserI have stayed here before to hike Seoraksan. This time, I had a nicer room; however, because it is near the mountains and older, there was a huge house centipede on the ceiling when I got there. Luckily, the bug spray they had worked on it. Other than that, there were some small stains on the bedding, but everything else was clean. The bed was comfortable, and the location is about 55 minutes walking distance from Seoraksan National Park. It's only about an 8 minute taxi drive there if not too much traffic. There is a beautiful river/stream nearby. This place is also only about a 16 minute drive from the Sokcho Express Bus Terminal. Obviously, I like this place enough to stay again. Breakfast was toast, cereal, and you could make eggs/a toast sandwich I believe.
GGuest UserOur stay at this hotel has been pleasant overall, but we did encounter two problems,
1. When we entered our room we found out that the AC was not working properly, we gave it some time and it still didn’t work so we contacted the receptionist, which sent us a technician to solve our problem but his only solution was to wait, and even when we told him that we have been in the room for two hours already, he insisted we need to wait (he did not understand English so the conversation was really hard to get through), so after waiting another hour we contacted the receptionist again and this time transferred us to another room which had good AC so this problem was solved.
2. The breakfast was really really bad, and the only real source of protein it had was pork in 4 different ways, and scrambled egg which we really didn’t like at all, and also the only choice of coffee in the breakfast is milk with “coffee syrup”(???) which is super inappropriate.
Overall I would recommend to stay in this hotel and just not take the breakfast.
GGuest UserWe arrived early at the hotel and we were hoping to be able to leave our luggage in a luggage room . When we got there , there was no staff on the Reception desk as the hotel operates a non face to face check in . This is fine but we do not speak or read Korean and we were unsure what we had to do . Eventually after two hours we managed to check in using Kakeo talk . Very frustrating to have wasted that time . It was also confusing because our room was not actually in the hotel but next door in the hotel across the road .
The room it self was brilliant . Very clean and spacious Lovely bathroom with enclosed shower . Tv , fridge and washing machine .
The hotel was across the road from the beach so that was brilliant . It seemed a long way from the main part of the beach and any restaurants where we could eat ..
GGuest UserWe stayed 2 nights, and the owners were really kind and friendly and invited us to sing and play Korean songs along with them and other families in the stage they have in the basement. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my whole trip in South Korea.
The room and water were warm and well suited for the winter. They upgraded our room for free and there was so much space with sink, fridge, sofa and table included. The breakfast every morning is delicious and filling, preparing you well for a day of walking in the mountains. 설악산 was beautiful coated in the white snow. The location of the hotel is great too, as there is a frequent bus that takes you to the park in no time, as well as to the city when you first come or when you leave the last day.
I hope I can come back again to visit the park during different seasons, and I will definitely would like to stay in this hotel again.
Thank you for everything.
Gracias, 감사합니다 😄
IIsfp-Solo TravelerI took an Uber from the bus terminal and was dropped off at Building C because I just typed the hotel name — it happened to be the first building we passed, and I didn’t know that it wasn’t the main one. Building C has no reception, so I went up to Level 4 (if I remember correctly) for the kiosk check-in. It was a bit laggy, but I managed to complete the process and was assigned a room in Building A. I’m not sure if all rooms with the Ondol (heated-floor) type are in that building.
I had to walk to Building A with my two suitcases, which took around 5-7 minutes — not too bad, but it felt a bit of a hassle after a long trip. The location, however, was really good. If you love catching the sunrise, you can simply wake up early and walk for about 2 minutes to the beach.
I also booked an Uber ride to Seoraksan National Park for a 5 a.m. hike, which cost ₩17,500. The room was quite spacious, especially for a solo traveler. The only downside was that there’s no bidet or smart toilet. You might also want to bring your own large towel, as they only provide small ones, and no toothbrush kits — although there’s a vending machine on the first floor for toiletries and slippers if you need extras.
The heating floor worked perfectly, and the room was very clean. It’s well-equipped with cooking and dining utensils, a built-in electric stove, a washing machine, and a large fridge — ideal for longer stays. There are also plenty of convenience stores, coffee shops, and restaurants on the first floor, and several attractions are within walking distance.
Overall, it’s a great place to stay — comfortable, clean, and convenient for both short and long visits in Sokcho.
GGuest UserPros
- Location 5 minutes walk to the beach
- Parking available
Cons
- Feels like there is no hygiene management at all (dust accumulated on the bed head, no kitchen utensil management - mold in pots, central heating toiletries, water stains, etc.)
- Parking tower specifications are small and parking outside was required due to breakdown during stay
- There is only one elevator compared to the number of households, so there is a waiting time
GGuest UserWould 100% recommend. The hotel is located close to the bus terminal (2-minute walk) so it is easy to reach from Seoul. Sokcho beach is within walking distance of the hotel, and there are also plenty of good restaurants nearby.
The room definitely lived up to our expectations. Check-in and check-out are done through a machine, but it’s very easy to use. The rooms are equipped with everything we needed and the view of the mountains are definitely a plus.
We loved our stay here and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Sokcho.
GGuest UserHighly recommended if you are looking for a practical and clean stay in Sokcho, offering excellent views, good quality furnishings (Fursys), reasonable prices, spacious rooms, and a great location.
속초에서 가성비 좋고 깔끔한 호텔 찾으시면 적극 추천합니다. 아주 훌륭한 전망, 리즈너블한 가격, 관리 잘된 가구들(소파는 퍼시스네요)이랑 넓은 객실이 맘에 듭니다. 위치도 좋아요
GGuest UserWe were here for one night. In principle, it is not very far from the beach. The room is clean. Adequate guys work at the reception. It is bad that they do not even give water in the kit. In principle, you can spend a night or two
