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.
This was a very pleasant place to stay before and after a hike in Seoraksan National Park. Lovely view from the balcony. Very clean and comfortable, and helpful staff!
Very convenient location. The local bus to the national park is right across the street from the hotel, and the hotel is 10 minutes walk from the express bus terminal.
I was pleasantly surprised by a washing machine in the room, which was great to clean my muddy clothes after my hike (you'll need your own laundry detergent).
The room had a kitchenette with sink, hot plate, and full-size refrigerator and freezer. The only problem is there was no pot or pan to use on the hot plate, so I could not actually use it to warm my food (unless I would travel with my own pot)!
It would be nice if the room provided a hair dryer and if the hotel had some breakfast option. The cafe downstairs offers only drinks, not food, and doesn't open until 11 a.m.
The entryway light is motion activated, and there are many electronic buttons and panels around the room that emit light, so if you are sensitive to light while sleeping, you will have to cover your eyes with a sleep mask.
Also note that it you close the sliding door between the bed and living area while the air conditioning is on, it will prevent the cold air from reaching the part of the room where the thermostat is located, so the air conditioner will remain on indefinitely, and the sleeping area will get very cold.
The various panels for lights and temperature were a bit difficult to understand. English labels would be helpful. But the receptionist was helpful and came up to my room to show me how to use the air conditioning. The USB port on the nightstand worked some of the time and sometimes it didn't. I couldn't figure out if there was a switch or setting somewhere in the room to make it work, or if it was just malfunctioning.
This was a last-minute trip I had to take. The building seemed a bit old, but the room was surprisingly clean and nice. The bathroom was also spacious and spotless.
After watching the sunrise, I went back to the accommodation to warm up my frozen body. The location was perfect, and the warm floor heating was absolutely wonderful.
I think I'll use this place again next year.
The place was clean, and the location was ideal – a mere 10-minute walk from Sokcho Beach. It perfectly balanced proximity without the noise, and convenience without being too far. All the necessary amenities were nearby, which was incredibly convenient, and getting around the area was a breeze. The staff were exceptionally friendly, and the entire place was spotless. For this price, I truly believe it offers outstanding value for money. I would highly recommend it to friends and family, and I definitely plan on returning.
The location is great ! Within a walking distant from bus terminal. We check in around 1 am and the staff are very helpful to assist us. The room is big and value to the price. The room.is exactly as i the photo.
The only.thing is i only.met 1 staff on the night that i check in who can communicate in English fluently. Thanks to thay staff he helps and explain us clearly about the room.
The hotel boasts an excellent location and fantastic views. We were allocated a corner room with a great outlook. We arrived early, and the male receptionist informed us we could check in at 1 PM. However, upon returning after lunch, a different female staff member, who offered no smile, insisted check-in wasn't until 3 PM. We noticed other guests checking in, some even without a credit card, which felt inconsistent. After I had to complain, we were finally allowed to check in, but then they demanded a credit card for a security deposit. The attitude of the Korean front desk staff was very frustrating and made us feel extremely uncomfortable, almost discriminatory. Otherwise, everything else was fine, and we had a very enjoyable day.

It appears to be newly renovated with work still being completed beyond the lobby. Everything was clean and the room was in great shape. Only downside was no bed. They had futon for us to sleep on, which is normally not too bad, but the floor was not designed for it and the futon was thin, so didn't make for a comfortable rest. Can't help but to think they didn't have enough beds for their opening...
Overall, the condition is clean and there is a lighthouse beach nearby, so it seems like a good place to go.
There is a parking fee, but you can park on the street nearby. I stayed on the 5th floor, and the wall was a view of the construction site, so it was actually nice!
I recommend going outside to see the sky or the sea, and if you are sensitive to noise, wear earplugs and sleep.
I didn't mind the noise from the accommodation itself, but I could hear the construction site noise from 8 in the morning, so it was a little annoying!
And be sure to visit the coffee shop and burger place nearby! They are delicious. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Have a nice trip! 👍
The facilities were good and the room structure was the same as the picture, which was nice. However, there are not many restaurants, convenience stores, or other facilities around, so it feels a bit isolated. If you want a quiet place, I recommend it. If you want a place with a lot to see and eat, I don't recommend it.
Very Good

EEEErikaaaTraveling with a 2-year-old child
It was nice that there was a children's playground, an indoor pool, and a large hot spring bath. The child was very satisfied.
The dinner buffet had delicious snow crab and sashimi.
There were various activities on site, as well as a convenience store, restaurant, and cafe, so we could enjoy ourselves all day at the resort.
About 20 cm of snow fell in the middle of the night, but the staff worked hard to shovel it away, which was great.
There were mats laid in the pool to prevent slipping, but they were not all over the place, so the tiled parts were slippery, so please be careful if you have small children.
I asked for bed guards when I checked in, but they never came to install them.

TTuxannie WuanThe place is good, 7 minutes to ski and has a supermarket and eatery place nearby.
Honestly the room is nice, with cooking facilities but the owner was not friendly at all.
The toilet was stuck and leak they came with only the plunger and ask us settle ourself.
Is winter and we came with kids, the kids built a snowman and they destroyed the snowman after we went for ski trip.
We are a group of 10 and we wanted to cook our dinner. There is a small hut with table and chair and BBQ facilities, we ask to BBQ facilities (We are willing to pay, 10,000 won as stated) but she said is winter so we can’t use the BBQ pit, ended up we use the stove to cook up the meat.
The husband and wife came in to the huts and told us we can’t do BBQ but we explained to her we just cook the meat and we didn’t do any BBQ. We left the place with cleaner than we came in. I have to WhatsApp her and show her the place is cleaned.
The warn us that we must left the place by 1am but in fact all of us finished eh 9.30pm every day since we are tired from Ski.
During the last day, they came to us and I was thinking they come and say goodbye but they just make sure we throw every single piece of rubbish outside the house.
My husband wear shoe and just step to take our luggage and the owner insist us to take out the shoe before we went in to the house. Although we have explained, we just step in and take the luggage and go, he insisted us to take out the shoes.
I have been travelling all around the world and we do understand every cultural is different but as the operator of tourist industry, the owner has to be service minded. If you can’t accept any international travellers then please do not list your place in any platform or put up a notice that international tourist is not permitted to stay there and we won’t book accordingly.
Is such a shame to see this happened to us after our 5th trip to Korea and our 3rd trip to Pyeongchang for ski.

SShishinonoFree parking is great! Staff are polite and very helpful, can provide help for all my questions! Food is nice, I went to La Vista at 23/F, you can enjoy your drinks and food with jazz.
MMellowmellonsLove the location. Its kind of a maze but cute~
Staying at the hotel gives you 30% off at sauna (20000–>14000), fitness room, lift ticket and rentals~
The room was so nice. Kitchen was good, no sauce or cooking condiments.
The bedding was thinner than imagined so a little hard to get used to at the start but it was good since the floor was warm. Sometimes too warm 😅
슈슈슈유니Considering the price was about triple the usual, there wasn't much to praise besides the location. However, if you prioritize value for money in terms of location, this place is perfect! It's fantastic for strolls along Sokcho Beach. Definitely not recommended during peak holiday season.

GGuest UserThe Sokcho Cassia Hotel, which we visited for our wedding anniversary trip, was located in Daepo Port, and we could see both the port and the sea from the veranda of the accommodation. It was on the 25th floor, and when we went in, there was a slight musty smell from the bathroom shower room, so we took off one star for cleanliness! The breakfast here was 66,000 won, which was expensive compared to other accommodations, so we had high expectations, but there weren't many options for the price. Weekends are divided into three parts, and you can choose on a first-come, first-served basis when you check in. I think the checkout time was 11:00, but we checked out right after 8:00 after the first part of the breakfast to avoid traffic.
