Popular Sokcho-si 4-star Hotels

It was a nice hotel, close enough to a lot of recreational activities but far away enough to be quiet. Breakfast buffet was good and affordable. Convenience was attached to the building so you have everything you need. 😊

The amount I paid for our three days staying at the hotel paid off. Its cleanness and amenities were excellent, its location to the nearby restaurant was very convenient. The ocean view was phenomenal. Parking guide was there 24/7 and I liked it very much. The front desk girls were very nice and polite. I strongly recommend this place to anyone. Five stars rated plus

It's a very new and high-end apartment-style hotel with beautiful views from the high floors. The facilities are very good and there's a washing machine in the room. It is within walking distance to Sokcho Beach and a little distance from the bus station. There are few buses, so it is recommended to take a taxi directly. The biggest disadvantage is that some front desks have poor English skills and can communicate with mobile phone translators. In addition, the elevator configuration is insufficient.

The night we checked in, the TV wasn't working. The next morning, no hot water running when taking shower. They led us to free sauna though. Clean room with comfy table to have dinner in the room. Have a sink and washing machine. Location was perfect, very close from downtown Sokcho.

Very clean and comfortable. The underground parking lot is very convenient. The night view is also very beautiful. I will book this hotel every time I come to Sokcho. I can see the night view of the bridge and the sea view from a distance, and I can also see the lighthouse in the distance.

Was really looking forward to my stay at the Kensington Hotel Seorak. But when I pay $263AU / night I have a certain expectation that a 4 star hotel will live up to the hype. The service at the check-in desk and in the restaurant was excellent. The hotel itself exudes 'history' and it was interesting spending time looking at the library, hallways and various displays on offer. The menus were adequate for our stay and we spent 29000KRW on the chicken and beer offer on the first night and the steak and wine (120000KRW) on the second night. Breakfasts were 29000KRW/pp or 10% off if you book at check-in were also value for money. However several aspects let the hotel down. Hot water was hard to get - I tried for an afternoon shower and again at midnight with no luck. Larger hotels in Korea tend to have central control over the air conditioning, so if you like a cool room you'll be out of luck by October?? Even having the small window open, and turning of the 'air conditioning, the room was stuffy. Having found a laundry bag and order form I was told that the hotel no longer offered that service. Disappointing. The towels were worn / frayed on the edges (they've passed their useabe date) and though the hotel room we were in had a great view the windows were so grubby it was hard to really enjoy the view. While I appreciate COVID has had an impact on the hotel industry generally, I'm pretty certain that the Kensington, with its views and proximity to Seoraksan, faired better than most. While I would stay here again I would like to think that for prime pricing the Kensington could up its game and ensure that such small issues were addressed.

It can't be helped because it's an old building. I couldn't sleep all night because the noise from the next room and the noise from the floor were so bad that I couldn't even hear anything. I live in an apartment and the noise from the floor is normal, but this isn't that bad. The facilities were clean and well-maintained despite being old. And the staff were friendly.

It's an old hotel, but it was clean. I was able to go out and see the sea on foot. There is Daepo Port nearby, and the fried food there is delicious and the squid sundae is also delicious.

The location is good and the price is cheap. It's the best for a family trip. It's close to the highway and not far from the sea, so it's convenient to move around. Willing to visit again

This is an accommodation I often use when I go to Sokcho. I had to stay one more day, so I stayed there for several consecutive nights. They kindly let me stay overnight and showed me the newly cleaned room right away, so I stayed comfortably.
