Sokcho-si Villas

Hotel prices are prohibitively expensive on weekends, but I had a comfortable trip thanks to the clean hotel at a good price. I used it for the ocean view, and I could see the Sokcho Lighthouse, and the bedding was clean, so I had a comfortable rest. It’s a good hotel.~

The hotel is in a very strategic location, beside Daepo Port. However, please do not book through Trip.com. I could have gotten a better price from Agoda… so disappointed that I overpaid for this hotel

The hotel is in a great location, very convenient to the beach, E-Mart, and the bus station. There is also a bus downstairs that goes directly to Seoraksan. The front desk is also very friendly. The swimming pool on the roof is a little expensive, but the view is great. There is a 711 and a restaurant downstairs. The only downside is that the waiting time for this elevator is too long, especially during peak hours.

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.

The service of the hotel is very good. Although it is not big, it is enough for two people. It has everything you need and you can store your luggage. There is a GS25 downstairs which is very convenient. It is not far from the bus station and Daiso and Emart are nearby.

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.

I use it occasionally because it's good value for money, but this time I was disappointed that the bathtub was a little dirty, but I was grateful that they handled it well. Ondol rooms are the best when taking a baby!

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.

I'm doing a hotel tour these days. It was a place I chose on the way back after leaving. I have helped at a nearby hotel. The facilities are similar and it's probably because it's an old hotel. There are some parts that are damaged, but overall it is good. The price is okay too Maybe it’s because it’s not peak season yet. It was quiet From the morning, I heard the sound of children running down the hallway. I woke up but slept well. The shampoo provided is not good. I think it would be a good idea to bring it. The beach is close across the street I arrived at night and stopped by and it was nice. It's nice that it's close to convenience stores, etc. There was also a coffee shop. Just one thing! I entered the hotel and went straight to the bathroom. Toilet bowl is not cleaned Dirty on the toilet seat Look at what's buried I was surprised. I think this is the part you need to pay the most attention to. It's really obvious that you did a sloppy cleaning. Please pay a little more attention to cleanliness I think it would be better
