4-Star Hotels in Gangwon State, South Korea

Hotel Sokcho is located a 5-minute walk away from the Express Bus Terminal. This is very convenient for catching early buses back to Seoul. There’s a large supermarket nearby as well as convenience stores and eateries. Sokcho Beach is also about a 10-minute walk down the road. The rooms are bright and spacious, with amazing views of the sea. But what we really appreciated was the remarkable standard of service offered. Late one night, our toilet got choked and the flush stopped working. We called the front desk and within a mere 10 minutes, a smartly clad staff appeared at our door, very politely fixed the uncomfortable issue and very politely left, all in a matter of a few minutes. Minimum fuss, maximum efficiency. We were impressed.

This is a superb hotel. Location is excellent, 10 mins walk to the Express bus terminal, 5 mins to bus stop and emart, 15 mins walk to beach. Easy base to hike Serokysan. Room is new and clean, spacious, modern and high pressure shower. Good machine coffee at lobby. Highly recommended!

Our stay at this hotel has been pleasant overall, but we did encounter two problems, 1. When we entered our room we found out that the AC was not working properly, we gave it some time and it still didn’t work so we contacted the receptionist, which sent us a technician to solve our problem but his only solution was to wait, and even when we told him that we have been in the room for two hours already, he insisted we need to wait (he did not understand English so the conversation was really hard to get through), so after waiting another hour we contacted the receptionist again and this time transferred us to another room which had good AC so this problem was solved. 2. The breakfast was really really bad, and the only real source of protein it had was pork in 4 different ways, and scrambled egg which we really didn’t like at all, and also the only choice of coffee in the breakfast is milk with “coffee syrup”(???) which is super inappropriate. Overall I would recommend to stay in this hotel and just not take the breakfast.

Nice hotel well situated by the night market, Abai Village and Rodeo Drive. Easy to walk around and explore. The rooms was well kept with no issues. Only downside was lack of parking. They will try to accommodate you so you won't be stuck, but was inconvenient.

The hotel is right by Dapao Port, just a few minutes' walk from the bus stop. The sea-view room was nice, the only downside is that there are many seafood vendors nearby, so opening the window brought in a strong fishy smell.

I loved it so much, seriously!!!! The price was affordable, and since it had an ocean view, I really felt refreshed. It is a bit far from Gangneung Market, but that actually made it feel quiet and peaceful—it was just so relaxing. There is also a Chaeilsun Sundubu nearby~~

Nice clean and comfortable room. Location,close to the beach and the express bus terminal. There is a bus stop right outside with bus to Seoraksan national park. And Sokco city center. About 10-15 min by bus to the center. A few restaurants and convenience stores nearby. Staff is friendly and helpful.Good view from the balcony on high floor rooms. Recommended.

The location is perfect for a direct view of Ulsanbawi Rock. The WEST building I stayed in was an older building, so the veranda door was warped and wouldn't close properly. This winter, the cold wind blew in. I was able to cook simple meals, so I ordered abalone soup to go and cooked it for breakfast. However, the stove was gas, not electric, and one of the stoves wouldn't light. Still, the three of us on our family trip had a great night's stay. The next day, the clouds cleared, revealing the view of Ulsanbawi Rock. We enjoyed it.

Nice room, the two room suite is very spacious with a reasonable price. The only downside is you have to pay 20000won per hour for early check in. Also the kids playroom is very dirty.

We got the Deluxe Family Bunker, which had a bed and a bunk bed - perfect for a family of four! The hotel is new and super clean, and the room was well-stocked. We were surprised to find a kitchenette in the room - including a washing machine. There was no laundry detergent or dryer, but it works great for doing a few essential clothes. There are at least three convenience stores and multiple restaurants in easy walking distance of the property. We liked the hotel so much, we decided to return a couple nights later after changing our plans.
