The view of Seoraksan from my room was absolutely stunning, and it made my stay even more enjoyable. However, I must mention that the ondol room I initially booked was quite old and not very clean, which was disappointing. Nevertheless, I decided to upgrade to a suite, and I was pleasantly surprised by the beautiful room and the even more breathtaking view. The staff at your hotel were incredibly kind and helpful. When I accidentally left my watch at the hotel, they went above and beyond by finding it and sending it to my next accommodation. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at your hotel, and I appreciate the efforts made by the staff to ensure my stay was enjoyable.

The faded glories of Britain
The hotel has a quirky British theme, with mahogany finish and regency style decoration in the western-style bedrooms. This makes them a bit gloomy for me. The carpets in the bedrooms were starting to look quite grubby, too. We really enjoyed the top notch breakfast.

Perfect location within walking distance to Seoraksan National Park. Mountain view room was stunning. All staff were very friendly and spoke good english. Breakfast buffet each morning had a good selection of Western and Korean food options. The hotel had an onsite convenience store in the lobby, which provided ramen and other snacks. The room was a little bit dated but very clean and tidy and it is all just part of the charm of this lovely old hotel.

Excellent location if you plan to visit Seoraksan almost every day of your stay in Sokcho. Buses down into town are very convenient. 20 minute walk down to the nearest convenient store. View is pretty great and the room is enormous. Probably not very convenient if you want to get a late night snack unless you don’t mind a 20 minute walk. Rooms are a little vintage in style and condition. Quite a bit of bugs in the balcony and saw some in the toilet too.

The area surrounding the hotel is incredible. Hotel is so close to the park it was a great place to stay! That being said walking into the hotel is like walking back in time. Not a bad thing but some things are just a little run down. There was definitely a lot of water damage in the building and we had a significant amount of mold in our room
