Hotele niedaleko Cheongcho Lake, Sokcho

Hôtel très bien situé. Super calme. Personnel très gentil et discret.

J'ai passé trois nuits dans cet hôtel situé non loin de l'entrée du Parc National de Seorak. Commençons donc par le début en précisant que c'est un des principaux critères qui m'a guidé dans mon choix et aidé à faire une sélection parmi la large gamme d'offres hôtelières de Sokcho. Je souhaitais en effet être à portée de la réserve puisque je suis amateur de randonnée. Un conseil toutefois, prenez un taxi qui vous déposera sans doute en contrebas de la zone de parking. Vous serez sûr ainsi d'arriver bien échauffé avant votre séance de trekking. Mais je m'éloigne de l'hôtel... Deuxième élément en rapport logique avec ce qui précéde , si comme moi vous cherchiez un endroit calme et tranquille pour vous reposer après l'effort, vous l'avez trouvé. Un vrai havre de paix...propre à favoriser les bonnes nuits de sommeil , hors circonstances exceptionnelles puisque le premier soir j'ai eu un ronfleur mature et comme les murs ne sont pas très épais...je ne vous fais pas de dessin. Le petit déjeuner est disponible en informant la réception la veille au soir. Pour le prix ne vous en privez pas. Ensuite, le ménage dans les chambres est là-aussi à demander au lobby. Les chambres sont d'une propreté remarquable à défaut d'être très spacieuses. Mais l'hôtel offre quasiment toutes les commodités habituelles que l'on attend en plus de la fourniture de la chambre : articles de toilettes, accès gratuit 5 G à Internet, bouteilles d'eau, dosettes de ”French café” - attention il y a un piège - et de thé vert... Malheureusement au moment de prolonger mon séjour d'une nuit pour me reposer au sec - le temps est très mauvais actuellement en Corée - , les réservations affichées complet à cause du Chuseok - Thanksgiving coréen - grand évènement de reunion familiale où l'on honore les ancêtres...inutile de vous dire que c'est aussi la période la plus difficile pour se loger et aussi bien sûr la plus onéreuse pour les clients que nous sommes. Les prix passent facilement du simple au double. Pensez-y si vous venez en Corée et surtout dans la mesure du possible réservez à l'avance au moment des fêtes d'automne. Manque de chance, peu de temps après avoir réservé ailleurs, une chambre s'est libérée... Et là où j'ai atterri j'ai vite changé de monde, type e clientèle et atmosphère à l'opposé de celle que j'avais tant apprécié à l'hôtel Amaranth. So british in a very nice way...isn't it ?

Wow! It felt like time travel back to the last century in the UK, the moment you step into the hotel lobby, which is full of nostalgic British decorations. The restaurant, especially, is like a royal family gallery with photos of Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana, Prince Charles, Prince William, and other royals covering the walls. Each floor features a unique theme dedicated to various public figures, including presidents, diplomats, sports stars, movie stars, singers, and actors. The hallways are decorated with photos and memorabilia, making every walk a discovery. The location is very close to the entrance of Seorak Mountain National Park, within a 7-10 minute walk. My double bedroom is lovely with a nice view of greenery. The only downside and a major issue to me is that no AC at night, which is not mentioned in the hotel’s description. The staff explained that the AC is centrally controlled and is turned off at night because they assume it’s cool enough. They can only give me a fan. I had both dinner and buffet breakfast at the hotel, and they were all good, and all the staff at the front desk and in the restaurant were very nice and friendly as well.

Very clean new hotel Breakfast is super good Room is big and clear

We 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 ..

This was a very pleasant place to stay before and after a hike in Seoraksan National Park. Lovely view from the balcony. Very clean and comfortable, and helpful staff! Very convenient location. The local bus to the national park is right across the street from the hotel, and the hotel is 10 minutes walk from the express bus terminal. I was pleasantly surprised by a washing machine in the room, which was great to clean my muddy clothes after my hike (you'll need your own laundry detergent). The room had a kitchenette with sink, hot plate, and full-size refrigerator and freezer. The only problem is there was no pot or pan to use on the hot plate, so I could not actually use it to warm my food (unless I would travel with my own pot)! It would be nice if the room provided a hair dryer and if the hotel had some breakfast option. The cafe downstairs offers only drinks, not food, and doesn't open until 11 a.m. The entryway light is motion activated, and there are many electronic buttons and panels around the room that emit light, so if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, you will have to cover your eyes with a sleep mask. Also note that it you close the sliding door between the bed and living area while the air conditioning is on, it will prevent the cold air from reaching the part of the room where the thermostat is located, so the air conditioner will remain on indefinitely, and the sleeping area will get very cold. The various panels for lights and temperature were a bit difficult to understand. English labels would be helpful. But the receptionist was helpful and came up to my room to show me how to use the air conditioning. The USB port on the nightstand worked some of the time and sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out if there was a switch or setting somewhere in the room to make it work, or if it was just malfunctioning.

We 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 😄

Good: Very spacious room with great view and a balcony! Bathroom had a rain shower. Walkable to Yeonggeumjeong Pavilion which has great night view. Bus opposite hotel goes directly to Seoraksan. Walking distance to Intercity Bus Terminal. Bad: 1. Front desk. I asked about the swimming pool when it was before 9PM. Official closing time was 10PM and last entry was 9:30PM. Front desk staff told me the swimming pool entry has closed for the day even though it's not 9PM yet. 2. Only had housekeeping once even though I stayed for 4 nights. This was not explained during check in.

The location is perfect!!!! They don’t clean the room and you have to take out your trash by yourself. There are a lot of bugs in the bathroom. The room is huge and it has a well equipped kitchen! There are no body towels

Everything was good, rooms were clear and have everything (shampoo, bodywash, etc). Around hotel there are a lot of restaurants from fast food to European cafes. The distance between hotel and beach are close.
