As already said in many reviews here, I got no complain at all for the hostel itself especially with that price! Everything is as expected; room & bathroom is clean, spacious and organized (interior is unique and like may others here, I like it). The bed with heating system helped us sleep well (it was end of winter). The breakfast... More

The price was very cheap. we will certainly recommend this place to every visitors who want to stay in Sokcho. The owner (Mr. Yoo) is very kind and... More

We came to the guesthouse in the very late night. However, Mr. Yoo in the midnight still very generous and explain to us about the attraction in Sokcho and... More

This is what you hope for when you book a hostel. Clean, easy to find, centrally located, and best of all, the owners go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. After a short 5 minute walk from the bus station, we checked in and the owner sat us down with a map. He spent 20 minutes... More

I've just stayed in Sokcho for 3 nights - Seoraksan N.P. is the place to visit in South Korea and The House Hostel is (without a doubt) the place to stay at. Mr Yoo and all girls at the reception are most helpful and smiling all the time. Just ask them what you need / require and they will guide... More

I've been a fan of Korean houses, and I'm really glad I've stayed in this hostel! The place is really cute and cool that you'd really want to spend time just sitting around, reading a good book while having free coffee. At a little less than USD15, you get free daily breakfast, and a good room. We stayed in winter... More

The best place to stay in Sokcho and great as a base to explore Seoraksan. The moment we reached, Mr Yoo opened up a Sokcho map and showed us the A-Z of exploring Seoraksan and Sokcho, marking down all the important spots, the dos and don'ts and the places where we can get good food, and made us regret that...

I think of the reasons for my great stay there was the hospitality from the owner. I was given lots of guidance upon arrival. And they even took my luggage to my room. They were very accomodating to my somewhat complicated plan to stay (I left for other cities in between with different group sizes at times). Mrs. Yoo even... More
