Super friendly personell and super clean room! Location also very convenient loads of restaurants and convenience stores around the hotel. Right at the beach 10/10
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the hotel. On the first day, I booked a 1.8m king-size bed room, but I was given a room with a 1.5m bed. However, after speaking with them, they upgraded me to a two-bed room for the second day. The room was very spacious, and I particularly liked having a separate entryway. They provided all the necessary disposable toiletries, and even the toilet paper was a good brand. There's a coffee machine on the first floor, so you can grab a coffee anytime. The front desk staff were all very friendly and helpful.
We love this hotel’s vibes! The nice smell and homely feel won us over the moment we stepped in. The owner is extremely kind and upgraded our standard twin room to a double queen room on a higher floor which gives us a nice ocean view. Location is great and a 10-min walk to market and 15 min walk to Abai village. Owner’s sincere hospitality and helpful personality is commendable. Highly recommend this hotel!
First off, the location right in front of Gyeongpo Beach gets a thumbs up.
There are many restaurants nearby, and a 7-Eleven and CU are within a 5-minute walk.
I don't regret choosing the Ocean View Standard room.
The view is amazing.
The water pressure is sufficient, there are many OTT devices available, and you can control the air conditioner and lights with a single remote.
The amenities are plentiful, too.
The hygiene is also excellent.
I will definitely choose this place again if I visit Gangneung next time.
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?
The staff at the hotel are so friendly and especially it was so comfortable that you could open and close the door with your cell phone!
It was really nice to walk around because there is a beach less than 5 minutes away!
I'm completely satisfied in many ways! I'll come again!
The location is great, it was clean, and I had a warm and comfortable stay.
I really liked the free coffee provided on the second floor, and the guardian cat was so cute.
The staff were kind, and I would definitely stay here again.
Fantastic 3 star hotel/motel. Located beach front.
Bed was amazingly comfortable.
Would definitely recommend to everyone.
Staff didn't speak any English but hand signs and papago (translation app) worked well.
Amazing

Very Good
GGuest UserThe room and bathroom was clean and wide.
There was heating in the room, Netflix, amenities for comfortable stay.
As I saw, there is a free breakfast in the morning for the guests (except Mondays), so I couldn’t try it but I was absolutely satisfied with the room.
GGuest UserI was looking for a budget-friendly hotel in Sokcho to stay overnight on my way to Goseong, and this one caught my eye. Even though it was a weekend, I booked it for around 80,000 won, and the hotel exceeded my expectations! It's so clean and pretty; I truly think it offers the best value for money. My husband was also very satisfied. I would definitely stay here again if I ever return to Sokcho. It seems to be more of a local neighborhood than a tourist spot, but there are some great eateries nearby, like the original Manseok Dakgangjeong and Cheongchosu Mulhoe branches. We also got some fresh sashimi from Cheongho Hwareohoe Center, which was delicious and generous in portion. While it's a bit far from the main tourist attractions, I highly recommend it if you're looking for the best value-for-money hotel.
JJackiewmThis is a super good experience, the homestay environment is very beautiful, there is a cute clean small pool. The owner of the hotel is super good. The owner knows that we have not prepared food for barbecue at night. He immediately picks us up to buy food at the nearby supermarket. At night, he also prepares a delicious raw fruit plate for us. It is very kind.
There are also three cute dogs from the boss, all of them are very close. The boss knew that we were not traveling by car, and sent us to the station in the morning. Thank you very much for the boss's help. I will definitely come again next time I have a chance and recommend it to friends.
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.
GGuest UserThis is a good place to stay if you come to visit the Raksansa Temple or to swim. The hotel is three years old, so facilities are fairly new. It has a cafe downstairs, waterfront seafood restaurants and convenience stores all within walking distance. It has a gym and washing machines and dryers (5000W per cycle for each) at level 2. staffs are friendly - they speak English, one of them Mr Chui speaks Chinese - If I come back to Yangyang, I would consider booking here again.
JjungyounAs an annual Legoland member, I've always stayed at the Lego Hotel. This time, I was so tired on my way back to Seoul that I did a quick search and decided to try a different hotel for the first time.
When I entered the number of guests, the search bar showed ”Highly Recommended” and I hesitated before booking.
I was worried about the bed size since we had three children, but it was incredibly spacious and clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly. I also loved the separate bathroom and bathroom. There were plenty of towels and amenities, making it incredibly comfortable.
I also loved the fact that I could use the washing machine. It was a great way to do some quick laundry.
The breakfast was delicious, and the staff even came to the entrance to give the kids snacks.
I'll definitely be staying here again next time I visit Chuncheon. I highly recommend it as a family-friendly place.
AAnonymous UserTo be honest.. all's good. Just 2 mini grumbles..
1. I suppose because they do generally allow their guests to smoke in the room, i can still smell the tabacco lingering. Not the best smell through the nights there.
2. No lifts. Thankfully my luggage is not heavy this round so its still manageable else i could foresee an issue lugging it up and down the stairs.
Now.. the pros..!
1. It is very clean. Bathroom attached which its great.
2. Room size is okie for 2. Has tv, wifi, lots of plugs.. facial care as well actually.. and a rather nice-smelling diffuser.
Spacious even, to put 1 luggage. Theres a heater and aircon unit ( of cuz not needed in this winter season)
3. Bathroom is spacious. There's towels provided. Shampoo, bodywash and toothpaste even! Abundant hot water.
4. A stone throw away from the bus terminal. Less than 5mins walk. Loads of eateries, cafes and even a diaso. Oh and the market.
5. Small town.. so everywhere's walkable. Quiet, slow-paced town. Awesome to chill here.
RRemalinaThis place is a perfect place for those who want to stay close to the big beaches, but not on the big beach itself^^ The area is super quiet and the beach is a little bit deserted, but it only takes 10 minutes to walk to the central beach with all all the facilities. The owners met us with the drip coffee bags with a password, we didn’t really see them all this time, which is perfect for introverts too 🙌 We especially enjoyed our breakfasts outside at the terrace, and the food was exceptional, thank you so much for preparing those kimpabs and hot sandwiches 💛 They also had towels and you could use as many as you wanted (one towel per day I guess?) The only thing that was disappointing was the absence of the elevator (we had to carry our suitcases to the 4th floor), but it was the only inconvenience, so it did not really ruin the whole experience!! 🙌🥹👌 There weren’t that many people living on our floor, so it was not that noisy (maybe take some earplugs for the night tho?)
DD and I On The MoveThis place was very nice, close to the beach and within walking distance of convenience stores and restaurants. The owner was very kind and even took us to a supermarket. There’s also a nice barbecue area. Overall, it’s a great stay for easygoing travelers.
GGuest UserWe stayed 2 nights, and the owners were really kind and friendly and invited us to sing and play Korean songs along with them and other families in the stage they have in the basement. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my whole trip in South Korea.
The room and water were warm and well suited for the winter. They upgraded our room for free and there was so much space with sink, fridge, sofa and table included. The breakfast every morning is delicious and filling, preparing you well for a day of walking in the mountains. 설악산 was beautiful coated in the white snow. The location of the hotel is great too, as there is a frequent bus that takes you to the park in no time, as well as to the city when you first come or when you leave the last day.
I hope I can come back again to visit the park during different seasons, and I will definitely would like to stay in this hotel again.
Thank you for everything.
Gracias, 감사합니다 😄
