"Very friendly and helpful owners. A good base if your aim is to stay within 20min bus ride to the park entrance and you are on a tight budget. Basic motel in an area which was once the main gateway for the park. Now it has mostly empty and abandoned motels and hotels in something that resembles a post apocalypse time. Seems safe but only two tiny supermarkets with very basic things to buy. There a so called “shopping centre area” where the bus stop is located but, just like the abandoned hotels,...

Sea Cruise Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"속초 여행하면서 묵었던 호텔인데 너무 만족스러워서 남기는 후기입니다! 우선 위치가 정말 사기적이에요. 속초 중앙재래시장과 어시장이 걸어서 10분 거리에 있어서 맛있는 것도 잔뜩 사 먹고 구경 다니기 최고였습니다. 하루 이틀 여유롭게 걸어 다니면서 구경할 곳도 많고, 해수욕장도 다녀올 수 있어서 동선이 정말 편했어요. 묵었던 방은 오션뷰였는데, 앞에 살짝 시야를 가리는 건물이 있긴 해도 아침에 떠오르는 일출(Sunrise)을 볼 수 있어서 뷰를 보는 맛이 쏠쏠했습니다. 그리고 기대를 크게 안 했던 조식이 진짜 대박이었어요. 한식과 양식이 조화롭게 잘 나오는데, 특히 속 편한 각종 국 종류랑 다양한 반찬들이 너무 잘 나와서 돈이 하나도 아깝지 않았습니다. 방도 답답하지 않게 널찍하고, 지하 주차장도 잘 되어 있어서 주차 스트레스가 없었네요. 그리고 꼭 옥상 한번 올라가 보세요! 도시 전체가 내려다보여서 탁 트인 경치 보며 사진 찍기 정말 좋았습니다. 전체적으로 가격 이상의 가치를 하는 훌륭한 호텔이었어요!"

Sokcho I Park Suite Hotel and Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Chambre propre , les couloirs ont besoin d’un vrai ménage! . Petit déjeuner varié. Pour un hôtel je trouve que au moins à la réception le personnel devrait parler anglais . Sinon le personnel est très gentil et serviable"

Kensington Hotel Seorak

8/10 Good

"Amazing location and excellent breakfast. Comfortable bed and a wonderful view of the mountains from the room. Also free use of lundry facilities which was very useful. But... it has a strange old ambience and smell. Maybe the carpets need a good shampoo. There's old english memorabilia everywhere including a double decker bus outside!"

Sokcho Mari Vista Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in a good location. Walking distance to Daiso, a big supermarket, many food options, the beach, and one of the bus stations. The room was clean. Had a separate walk in wardrobe, which was very handy to store luggage away. Has a fridge and a round dining table. There was a small balcony. Large bathroom with separate shower (not a wet room). Full size towels provided. My only criticism is that the bathroom lacks a bench or cupboard. But it's not really that much of a problem. We enjoyed our stay and plan to return."

Smile Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Smiley Resort! We did a girls road trip through South Korea and wanted to see Seoraksan. This place was in a great location for seeing the mountain. It was possible to walk to the national park from the hotel, but the bus stop is right down the street. The owners were so incredibly friendly and welcoming! Immediately we felt at home! I want to come back to Seoraksan to explore more of the hiking trails and would love to come back to Smiley Resort! We wish we could’ve stayed here longer! Everyone was so kind and sweet!"
