We stayed here for two nights and really enjoyed it. The hotel is excellent worth for money (we paid 40 EUR for a double room per night) and the location directly at many trailheads is just perfect! Also, we had a perfect view from our balcony into the mountains around us. As some reviews indicated already, the hotel is already... More

We loved this hotel and agree with most positive comments, especially regarding Charlie, who we found very helpful. However, he is on reception from early morning until about 6pm. He hands over to a young man who lacks confidence with his English, so try to phone your booking before Charlie is off. Regarding food, we loved the coffee bar for... More

Stayed one night at Mount Sorak in December and found it to be a very restful stay. It's not the most modern or most well-appointed hotel in Korea - it is showing it's age - but what it lacks in modernity it makes up in views (absolutely stunning), location (in the park itself), comfort (the bed was one of the...

We stayed 2 nights in Nov 2011. The hotel was ok in terms of amenities, with clean rooms, comfy beds and hot water. The thing about it's location within the park is a double-edged sword. On one hand, It's really really nice to know that your hotel is just around the corner after an exhausting hike and you are also... More

Personally I think winter time is best to visit Sorak mountain and if you are visiting the mountain without a car, this is the best place to stay. We had a lovely four nights over Christmas as a family holiday and the place is perfect for a cold winter holiday if you're prepared. (i.e. no supermarket nearby) More

This is a great hotel for visiting Mt. Sorak Nat'l Park it is actually within the park and is very close to the cable car line that takes you to the top of Mt. Sorak as well as various eating establishments and hiking trails. I would recommend staying here if your main reason to visit the area is the park.... More

Only hotel in this area. Nice location. We got the smoking room. As it is a casino hotel smoking rooms are expected. Had difficulty breathing. Not for family hotel. We brought little kids here. This is for hikers and outdoor adventure accommodation hotel. More

We spent two nights at this hotel located inside the park. A bus (number 1) goes almost directly from the bus terminal in Sokcho (only few meters from the bus terminal). You have to pass through the entrance of the park and pay for it to go to the hotel. As usual in South Korea, the staff was friendly and... More

We reserved for 3 nights, then extended another 3 nights. The Location is idyllic, a hikers paradise. The Manager, Charlie Kwak, is very genuine, and always happy to help. Charlie gave us good daily travel tips, and helped us plan our trip back to Incheon Airport. Charlie went out of his way on many occasions. He is "unforgettable", as Rina-B... More
