Hotels with Breakfast in Sokcho-si

The board walk was closed and I didnot realize at the time of booking so it was quite disappointing. Other than that the accommodation was good.

I spent three nights at this hotel located not far from the entrance to Seorak National Park. So let's start at the beginning by stating that this was one of the main criteria that guided my choice and helped me narrow down the wide range of hotels in Sokcho. I wanted to be within easy reach of the reserve since I'm a hiking enthusiast. A word of advice, though: take a taxi, which will likely drop you off below the parking area. This way, you'll be sure to arrive well warmed up before your trekking session. But I'm getting further away from the hotel... A second element, logically related to the above, if, like me, you were looking for a quiet and peaceful place to rest after your workout, you've found it. A true haven of peace... perfect for a good night's sleep, except in exceptional circumstances, since the first night I had a serious snorer, and since the walls aren't very thick... I won't draw you a picture. Breakfast is available by informing reception the night before. For the price, don't miss out. Room cleaning is also available, just request it in the lobby. The rooms are remarkably clean, although not very spacious. But the hotel offers almost all the usual amenities one would expect in addition to the room amenities: toiletries, free 5G internet access, bottled water, French coffee pods (be careful, there's a catch) and green tea... Unfortunately, when it came time to extend my stay by one night to rest in the dry - the weather is very bad in Korea right now - reservations were fully booked due to Chuseok - Korean Thanksgiving - a major family reunion event where ancestors are honored... needless to say, this is also the most difficult time to find accommodation and, of course, the most expensive for us as guests. Prices easily double. Keep this in mind if you come to Korea, and especially if possible, book in advance during the fall holidays. Unfortunately, shortly after booking elsewhere, a room became available... And where I landed, I quickly found myself in a completely different world, with a clientele and atmosphere that were the opposite of what I had so enjoyed at the Amaranth Hotel. So British in a very nice way...isn't it?

Good location with few convenience stores and restaurants nearby, near to espresso bus terminal so easy to reach from Seoul, and also near to the Sokcho beach, friendly staffs, spacious room and comfortable bed, and of course nice sea view from the room, we are very satisfied with our booking, highly recommended!

For a one-night stay costing around 600,000 KRW (with check-in at 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM), I arrived 1 hour and 20 minutes before the official check-in time to secure my place in line. Despite this, it was already past 3 PM by the time it was my turn. When I explained the situation to a staff member who appeared to be a manager, I was curtly told that check-in was strictly by order of arrival and nothing could be done. My turn at the front desk finally came about 5 minutes after the official check-in time. Upon collecting my pre-purchased breakfast coupons, I was informed that only the first and last of the three available time slots remained, forcing me to choose between them. Eventually, I did receive a call that a spot had opened up for the middle breakfast time, and I was able to exchange my coupon. However, the entire system felt very confusing and inefficient. On a positive note, hotel guests have complimentary access to the facilities. The room and the view, however, were absolutely magnificent.

Overall had a pleasant stay, no issues! Room was clean, TV was big and had a lot of options to watch, bathroom was alright (hot water was great), location is quite close to down town but nothing much to do around the hotel apart from eating seafood. However, it was nice that a 7eleven is connect right to the hotel so it was easy to get quick snacks and supplies. If you are bringing a car, just be aware that parking fills up quick and it's also quite tight (which is common in Korea).

I have stayed here before to hike Seoraksan. This time, I had a nicer room; however, because it is near the mountains and older, there was a huge house centipede on the ceiling when I got there. Luckily, the bug spray they had worked on it. Other than that, there were some small stains on the bedding, but everything else was clean. The bed was comfortable, and the location is about 55 minutes walking distance from Seoraksan National Park. It's only about an 8 minute taxi drive there if not too much traffic. There is a beautiful river/stream nearby. This place is also only about a 16 minute drive from the Sokcho Express Bus Terminal. Obviously, I like this place enough to stay again. Breakfast was toast, cereal, and you could make eggs/a toast sandwich I believe.

No tea bags or coffee sachets provided, which is a bit weird.  Water pressure for shower is way too weak.  No room cleaning services, leaving alone having your new towels put outside your room in the morning. Only 4 lifts serving way too many hotel stayers, resulting in long waiting lines and thus, time.  Views are magnificient however.  The room is so massive and the balconies are spacious.

The accommodation for the Sokcho trip with my two sons was clean and the space was separated, which made it even better. It was a hotel with great value for money at a low price because it was a weekday. The breakfast was also simple and good. I definitely plan to use it again on my next trip to Sokcho!^^

Pros: Prime Location: Only a 5-minute walk to the beach and Sokcho Eye. Very close to the Express Bus Terminal, with plenty of minimarts and restaurants nearby. Dining: A famous Red Crab Buffet is just a 10-minute walk away. Other city attractions are a quick 10–15 minute taxi ride. The View: The balcony offers a beautiful ocean view and a clear sight of the Sokcho Eye. Amenities: TV has Netflix (bring your own login). Bathroom essentials are provided, though toothbrushes/toothpaste cost a small extra fee. Cons: Balcony Maintenance: The mosquito screen was torn, and there were quite a few bird droppings on the balcony floor. Overall: Perfect for those prioritizing convenience and views!

The manager Mr. Lee is very friendly and nice. He drove us to the bus stop on the raining day when we checked out. The hotel location is great, can walk to the Mt. Seorak. We also thanks to the senior couple of the hotel who are very funny and very kind to us too.
