The hotel was superb, right on the beach and had spectacular views. The rooms were excellent with great facilities. The iPad in the room giving you up to date information was very useful. The staff were friendly and helpful. There were plenty of restaurant choices in the hotel. The evening buffet on the top floor was expensive so we didn’t eat there. 108,000 won per person. There were cheaper alternatives in the lobby. Unfortunately, you had to pay extra to use the infinity pool and gym so we didn’t do this. 35,000 won to use a pool seemed unfair and should be built into the price of the room. I would highly recommend anyone to stay there.
I was worried because of the poor reviews when it first opened, but it was so comfortable and nice. It's a residence, not a hotel, so the tables are large and comfortable, which was nice because I could eat comfortably in my room.
However, the rubber on the toilet stall door came off, so I replaced it, but I think they'll need to do some repair work to make sure it doesn't come off.
Good: Very spacious room with great view and a balcony! Bathroom had a rain shower. Walkable to Yeonggeumjeong Pavilion which has great night view. Bus opposite hotel goes directly to Seoraksan. Walking distance to Intercity Bus Terminal.
Bad:
1. Front desk. I asked about the swimming pool when it was before 9PM. Official closing time was 10PM and last entry was 9:30PM. Front desk staff told me the swimming pool entry has closed for the day even though it's not 9PM yet.
2. Only had housekeeping once even though I stayed for 4 nights. This was not explained during check in.
The elevator was uncomfortably hot because the air conditioning wasn't working, and it felt especially cramped when it was full. This definitely needs improvement. However, the facilities were excellent and very comfortable, and the overall layout was well-designed. What's more, unlike the heated pool in Sokcho which had an unpleasant odor, Samcheok's was perfectly clean and odorless. I'd definitely love to go back.
The location is so good that I visit often~~^^
Even though it's old, I visit often because I like the beach walk.
I recommend the hotel because it's cleaner than the resort.
I especially recommend the ocean view even if it costs a little more.
It's worth it~~^^
I was in room 515, and the plaza was visible,
and the bathroom was relatively clean.
The design is a quite old bur overall is a cosy stay. Nice view form slope view balcony. Great amenities from korean brand. Love the body lotion. Some hotel staff can’t commute well in English. There is a sticker on the bathroom wall from the day we checked in and it still there till we check out 3 days later.
Hotel is clean and fun. Our family enjoy much. They have treasure hut and uncountable lego blocks in the room. My girl loves this hotel the most in the whole Seoul trip.
My girl enjoyed the little game in room, the swimming pool, a small warm pool, indoor children playground very very much!
For car parking, we followed the naver map arrive the hotel. When we got there, they didnt allow us to park in front of the hotel, and we need to drive back to their specific parking area, and took shuttle bus back to the hotel again. This action wasted us an hour to go and back, and even waited around 30mins for check in. If they allow us to put down the luggage and do check-in first, and park the car later, that would be much better. It is sad for the 1st impression. And I found the locals would ask the staff to park their car for them to the specific car park. How come this could not be the same to foreign guests?
One more is not good about the dinner buffet. This was paid, W90000. When we got there after swim, around 8-8:30pm, the food left not much.But they close at 9:30pm. They refill slowly slowly.
We booked the room for early Dec just before the ski open (off peak), some of the room was still doing some upgrading. It was a Queen bed with a bulk bed room and only realised it only 150cm in length. The bathroom include bathtub as well. Booking come w 2 free breakfast/day and the 3rd pax need to pay adult price 44,000 KRW. Not very ideal. Holiday inn should have discounted guest rate for breakfast. The ski open on 4Dec. Hotel no other facilities. Shuttle bus only 2 timing slot to train station.
This hotel recently opened, so the facilities are super clean, and I especially loved the ocean view from the room. However, the breakfast system is split into two shifts, and it gets really crowded in one particular area. So, make sure to check in early and book your breakfast as soon as possible!

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.

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.
GGuest UserFree shuttle bus services definitely help get around the resort with ease. Discount coupons for restaurants, facilities and rental equipments given upon check-in are great savings too. Would choose it again for future stays.
LLeia K.The Orchid Hotel was everything and more as described on their website and the reviews. I stayed in the superior room with 1 king bed which was very comfortable. The air conditioner is adjustable to your preference. The hotel was very clean, spacious, very friendly staff (24hr lobby staff)and in the perfect location. They provided robes, slippers, 2 bottled waters, clean towels daily. The bathroom has a bidet which is separate from the shower area. They also have a pot to heat water instantly and they provide coffee and camomile tea bags. There was a large desk area in this room and a large television. The location is right across the street from a large shopping mall that also has restaurants and walking distance to Musil (restaurants, cinema, shopping). They do have a pool and has pizza and beer every evening at rooftop bar. All your needs are very close to this hotel. The bus terminal is ~6 minutes walking distance and train is ~ 10 minute taxi ride. Approximately 2 miles is the outdoor market (food/shopping). Considerations: make sure to bring international chargers, translate app and if get Wow pass can top up with cash at 7/11 or CU. I did make several attempts to top up on Wow pass app with credit card and was having difficulty. The bus terminal and taxi’s accept international visa credit card. The bus terminal does not accept T card. I highly recommend this hotel. Thanks to the staff and cleanliness.

GGuest UserThe room is spacious, has 2 bathrooms and toilets make usage convenient for a family. We stayed there because we went skiing in Elysian so it’s 15 min drive. I don’t think it’s very accessible by public transport.
Interior design is a bit strange, combining colorful and traditional wooden bulky furniture, the wall is painted black and there is only one small window in the big living room so the feeling is dark, and the led light hanging on the second floor fence don’t work. So I would say facility and hygiene is just ok , but the price kind of explain this, so it’s acceptable.
SsylviaganThe room is very spacious and clean! We love the futon style and the mountain view. The Sono Tower C is very convenient and below are the food court and supermarket. However, there is no coin laundry available so we really need to plan our clothings and to use the hotel towels carefully. The heater in the room was very warm so we opened a small gap of the window and balcony door for better ventilation and cooler air. There is window net so we did not have to worry about any insects coming into the room. The toilet has a bidet with warm function so we really love it! All in all the room is great and pleasant to stay!
HhinnemaimThe surroundings were nice, but the facilities were a bit more outdated than I expected. Perhaps because the Chuseok holiday had just passed, there were fewer guests, so it was quiet. However, the distance to downtown was quite long, and the welcome lounge was empty at first, so I got a little lost. Anyway, I had a good rest.
GGuest UserThe location of the resort was fantastic, ski in ski out. The staff gave us a room with 4 beds and a kitchen so everyone got a bed instead of having 2 of us sleep on the floor. The condo was warm and had everything we needed. There were lots of space and definitely big enough for a family of 4 with 5 suitcases. The breakfast was super and the restaurants there provided the variety needed for the 4d5n. In addition, there were more food choices in the skiing area. They have a carpark in the basement and we didn’t move our hired car the whole duration. The cleaner only came in to give us towels and they never cleaned the room though. They only had a handful of hangers so it was just enough for the ski coats. Only new little towels were provided, but we knew ahead of time so we brought our own big towels. For what we paid, I am extremely pleased with what we got. If we do come back to this ski resort, we will definitely stay here again.
