James is so friendly and has some brilliant recommendations for the area. The air con is good, there's a kettle you can use and fridges in the room (but no eating or drinking in the room which means it's all clean). Breakfast was simple and perfect for what we needed. Location wise, it's perfect. The hostel is about a 10 minute walk from the bus station that goes to Gyeongju. It's a 5 minute taxi ride from the bus station that goes to Seoul. Both bus stations likely go to other places too. It's also very close to the bus stop to Seoroksan National Park. And it's close to the market!

James and his father and mother made my stay enjoyable and trouble-free with easy check-in and out and transportation to the Intercity Bus Terminal with heavy baggage. The entirety of my stay was pleasurable. The hostel has a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere. Room 307's windows are at least double paned. There is no street sound audible in the room with the windows closed. The air conditioner / heating unit runs silently, gently, and effectively. My stay provided me with the best sleep I had experienced since arriving in South Korea. The room was ultra clean when I arrived. The wide bed was the right firmness - not hard, and not too soft. Room photos are accurate. 307 had a clean and quite recently renovated, painted, and re-decorated feel to it. Location: Walking, it is about 800 meters, perhaps a little less, to the Fisherman's Market. The East Sea is an easy walk. The bus to and from Seoraksan National Park is a few steps from the hostel property entrance.

While the windows provide soundproofing, it is possible to hear people in the hallway in the vicinity of the room.

Nice location in the centre and near the other bus station of the city (there are two). Big and clean room. Good bed.

The fridge in my room didn´t work, it was warm. I got 4 small towels instead of one big and one small which is common in hotels/hostels. It seems to be common in Korea but still felt bit weird. The breakfast was pretty bad. Just bad filter coffee, toast with really bad jam, milk and sugar-topped cereals and some cheap and bad orange juice. As I hungry morning person I missed something else, even some butter, youghurt, egg, fruit, anything. Quite many people stay in Sokcho for activities like going hiking to Seoraksan National Park and better breakfast could give some energy.

Although the room doesn't have an ocean view, the bedroom and bathroom are clean and well-organized, so it was the best value for money for a family of five to use without much inconvenience. Individual toothpaste and toothbrushes were provided, and everything such as soap, shampoo, hair dryer, skin, and lotion were provided. There were convenience stores, restaurants, markets, and Sokcho Port within a 10-minute walk around the hotel, so it was very convenient to stay. A simple meal of toast in the morning was also good.

Everyone had trouble sleeping because of the mosquito bites.

We really enjoyed our stay, great place, great localization, few beaches, lighthouse, and city center in a walking distance; it’s also 5 min away from bus to seoraksan park; the room was really clean and spacious, the staff was also great, especially Mr James, he speaks English very well and was really helpful with getting around the city. Highly recommended!

It was noisy at one night, but it might have been the other guests

Our stay was fabulous ! From the moment we arrived, James gave us a very warm welcome and gave us lots of advice to guide us during our stay. The room was better than we expected due to its very attractive price. It was well equipped, very clean and the cleaning staff offered to change our towels every day. The breakfast is also a very welcome bonus. I recommend this accommodation 100 % !

All. The Environment, Cleanliness, View from the corridor and the water heater is good even though it is on the top level of the 3rd floor. Simple English breakfast is quite good too. Take around 10 minutes to Fisheries Market and Abai Village Jetty by walk. Near to 7 eleven and bus stop. Only take 3-4 minutes. They also provide Toothbrush,Hairdryer and standard size dressing table with big mirror. As a woman it's a little lonely if you walk alone at night.But walking in Korea, I feel safe.The owner and staff is very helpful and friendly. Will stay again in others season. TQ so much ❤️

Only one thing..That night the heater did not feel and I did not find the temperature control switch. I can't sleep well because i feel quite cold all the night.Blankets are not able to warm my body with a temperature of 2'c..If I diligently go down and ask the staff maybe they can help.But it was quite late at night and it was not comfortable to disturb them.

Ideal location. Bus stop a two minute walk away along Jungang-ro from hostel. A 5 minute walk to the fresh food market and numerous restaurants and street food vendors. Bus numbers 7 and 7-1 take you directly to the Express Bus Station and Seoraksan National Park - the latter a 45 minute trip. James is genuinely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. He speaks fluent English. The hostel is exceptionally clean; fresh towels supplied every day. Quiet. There are two doors between the hall and the room. This kills sounds, as do the two windows. (There is minimal, if any, traffic noise over night). Ask James about the great restaurant serving the best bibimbap we’ve had - its only a 10 minute walk away. Water fountain opposite reception supplies hot and cold water.

Breakfast is from 8-10am. Early risers will miss out on the cereal, toast and beverages.

Great location, near to points of interest such as the lake and beach, but also near to transport links. It is a short walk, just one street up for the bus stop where the bus can take you to the National Park. James is very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble for him. We liked our clean and spacious room. It was good that breakfast is included.

The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was better than expected. (Almost) Everything neccessary was provided. The location was quite good.

The mattress was a hard but not too hard mattress (personal preference) and the room was as the close to the street as it can be in the building (but not a problem for a light sleeper as it wasn't too busy and manageable with earplugs). There were more mosquitos than expected, but in total only 3, and they were quite easy to get rid of with the provided spray. I would prefer it if the accommodation would provide some form of wipers/scrapers or sponges/towels to actively dry the bathroom since there was no window.
