The staff were very kind and helpful. They gave me a big city map and explained what places are worth visiting in the Seoraksan National Park and in Sokcho. I highly appreciate they helped me plan an onward bus journey to Andong. The bus stop for the National Park is 15 minutes away on foot, the express bus terminal for Seoul about the same, and the intercity bus terminal is a short bus ride away. The room was spacious, clean, comfortable and very quiet. I booked a single, but received a double room - thank you! There was a large fridge and a freezer on every floor.

Nothing.

The hosts were amazing, super friendly and recommended what to do in the area. The hostel is very close to the beach, so it's easy to go for a swim after a day of sightseeing. Everything was clean. I would recommend the place for a stay in Sokcho and I would book it again, if I was to come back.

You can hear the other guests when they are in the corridor, but not when they are in their room. So at worst case you hear them for a few minutes, when the come or go.

The property was in a fantastic location - less than 7 minutes walk to the nearest beach "Oeongchi" which had a swimming area, toilets and umbrellas. Inside the hostel, the bedroom was very large and clean. The small balcony had a clothing rack which was great to use after the beach to dry our swimming gear. The beds were very comfortable, medium soft mattresses. Each bed had privacy curtains around it and a reading light. The room had great aircon and a small dressing table with mirror. There was also a clothes rail with hangers inside the room. The bathroom was a more traditional wet-style bathroom, the shower was not enclosed. There was shampoo, conditioner, body wash, toothpaste and hand soap available. The owners were fantastic, very friendly people. They circled some areas on the map that we could eat at. Breakfast was self-service instant ramyeon and coffee. Near the guesthouse there was a convenience store and within a 20 minute walk there were many restaurants and a bustling area. The rooftop was a highlight of this guesthouse - it was fantastic to grab some drinks and sit on the picnic tables on the roof in the late evening.

There is a dog at the property who stays in the communal areas - it didn't bother my group but if you had allergies you may have to take this into consideration.

Such a welcoming guest house. Whilst I was hoping for a property filled with other hikers so we could discuss our Seoraksan plans, it didn't quite deliver on this (mid May is when the park starts to reopen after fire risks so we hadn't quite nailed our timing...!), BUT the owner was very friendly, helpful, spoke great English, and has a lovely dog. Parking was easy. The location was great for getting to Seoraksan but also for getting to the seafront, restaurants and our favourite craft beer place, Mont. We also had a really nice chilled evening sitting on the roof of the property with some beers and snacks, looking at the view. And the owners gave us some much appreciated apples as we left 😍 overall would recommend!

Couple was super friendly, already missing Beri :( their cute dog! Room was cozy and they had more than sufficient facilities! They were really helpful with directions, was a pity that I had to give Seoraksan a miss (I will be back :D)

Went on a weekday (I DO NOT Recommend, go with FRIENDS :")))))) can totally imagine that this place will be vibing on a weekend! It was super quiet on my floor and on my way back since I was alone so perhaps not the best for a solo female traveler to come on a weekday! Also the terminal is a good 20 min walk away so yeah FYI!

The atmosphere is great, and the owners are kind and helpful. Plus there’s a very cute dog named Berry. The room was comfortable and cozy. I hadn’t had such a good rest in some time. This property is about a 10-15 minute walk away from a bus stop where you can catch a ride to Seoraksan National Park. The East Sea is practically on your doorstep. It’s just a short walk down from the guesthouse. I could see the sea from my window. It’s about a twenty minute walk from the busier and more touristy part of the beach. It was nice to enjoy a quick bite of free ramyeon and coffee before I checked out. Plus the host gave me a recommendation for some good eats.

The only (very nit-picky) issue was that the water temperature in the shower fluctuated from warm to quite hot. This wouldn’t at all keep me from staying there again.

The owners are very friendly people who helped with a couple of tips. The guesthouse is located directly opposite the beach with a stunning walking area. There are many restaurants and shops around. There is a bus stop within a 10-minute walk that leads to Seoraksan, and it takes 15-20 minutes to get to Seoraksan itself. Their magnificent black dog leaves special emotions, which you just want to hug!

What a lovely place! It was mt third time in Sokcho and I wanted a more peaceful location, close to the beach. This hostel was perfect and the owner was so kind and helpful. I was very impressed by the room, I was expecting something more basic, but it was absolutely lovely and with a little balcony with a sea view. Thanks for your hospitality!

Very friendly staff with tips about what to do and which hike to do in seoraksan national park. On the day of we even got a bag of fruit to take with us on the hike. The day we were leaving we got a ride to the bus station. The price-quality was good, the room was basic but all the necessary things were available (eg fridge for every floor, shower amenities, even tooth paste). The mattress and pillows were comfortable.

We had a great time in Sokcho. The owners that ran the place were very friendly and gave us some helpful tips on the best things to do in the area. We enjoyed the rooftop and the accommodations location was great, a short walk to the beach. There were a few restaurants/convenience stores within walking distance. The room was all you needed to have a comfortable nights rest.
