Ramada Sokcho
"The hotel has a fantastic view of the East Sea and near to the seafood restaurants at Daepo Port. As we took public bus opposite Sokcho Express Bus Terminal bus stop, it is pretty convenient to get to Daepo Port and walk about 10mins to the hotel. As it was raining for the 2 days which I stayed at Sokcho, the hotel staff was very nice to help me book a taxi to get to Sokcho Express Bus Terminal. The stay was great though the bed was abit too soft for my back. Nevertheless, will still come back again when I visit Sokcho!"Show more

Resort has all the amenities that you need - minimart, arcade, convenience store and so on.. It was a great getaway from city. Only downside is that swimming pool is not opened in winter. "Show more

"Location was good, between sea and Seoraksan. For a family with children the two playgrounds across the street were great. Hotel breakfast was ok with juice, coffee/tea, toast, butter, strawberry jam, smoked eggs and ramen. We ate dinner twice at Hanoi Star and once Korean BBQ in walking distance.The bed was very hard as mentioned before. The room was actually quite with dark curtains, but the water pipes of rooms around us were a bit noisy. The owner was nice and spoke good English."Show more

Maremons Hotel
"We stayed 3 nights at Hotel Maremons. We really searched a long time for a good hotel in Sokcho. After we read the references we were not sure whether we should book it. We did not find anything better so we chose Maremons.
It is definitely not that bad like the references said. The rooms are clean, the bathroom has a huge shower. The furniture is a little bit old but not that bad. They do not offer wifi in the rooms which is very unusual in Korea. The breakfast for 18.000 won extra charge per person offers lots of different Asian and European food. We are sure that the walls are not that thin like in other hotels. So we slept very well. Hotel Maremons is located close to a Bus stop. From there you can reach the inner city (line 1, 7 and 9) and you also can reach Seoraksan National Park with Bus no. 7-1 within 20 minutes (1.200 WON). You also can get to Naksan beach and Naksansa Temple by bus."Show more

With U Hotel & Guesthouse
"Travelled to Sokcho to hike Seoraksan
This guesthouse is everything that you need! It has free breakfast (simple yet VERY filling) included in the rate, the rooms are really clean and the bunk beds are really spacious. The ensuite toilet is really spacious and the shower temperature is great for me!
The guesthouse is just right opposite Sokcho Express Bus Terminal, you can't miss it from across the street. Right beside it, there is a family restaurant that specialises in Korean clear beef soup 설렁탕 and Korean stuffed blood sausages 순대 in different flavours (which is also the specialty of the region). A few more steps and you'll see a fried chicken shop and CU convenience store. The guesthouse is also a 5 minute walk to Sokcho beach, where you can have a very good view of Sunrise and Sunset, with many seafood restaurants along the beach.
(Tip: if you're heading to Seoraksan, take bus 7 or 7-1 right outside CU convenience store)
You'll be greeted by the dogs in the guesthouse and they are really cute.
The two owners are really nice and despite speaking minimal English, they went all out to make sure my stay was pleasant.
The entertainment room at the basement was really unique! It's like a mini auditorium to hang out and watch movies. There are board games, Wii and a mini billiard table for guests to play too. There is a meeting room at the basement for guests who needs some privacy to discuss things.
Another pleasant surprise was that the movies on demand were free. However, if you can't read or understand Korean, it might be a problem.
Thank you for the pleasant stay, will definitely be back!"Show more

I Park Condominium Seoraksan
"This hotel was a great choice. It is a bit out of town but close to several attractions. Hotel is a bit outdated and bathroom could have been cleaner. We stayed in the deluxe room and it was perfect for our family. Very roomy with dining room table, small kitchenette, couch, tv and separate bedroom. I was disappointed that the pool cost so much, it was around $30 for 1 adult, 1 child and 2, 3 year olds. We only went once because of the price but the kids had a lot of fun. For those going for pokemon go, there is a pokespot right in the middle of the courtyard and we could play from our room."Show more

Goodstay Hotel Amaranth
"Great hotel and great prices. Just on the outskirts of Sokcho-si, about 6,000 KRW taxi ride to either the Bus Terminals or Seoraksan Park - kind of in the middle of both.
Rooms are really nice, especially for the price. Very clean hotel, and the amenities in the rooms are very nice: big flatscreen, nice beds (mattresses are a little hard, but that's every where in Asia), all the toiletries you need, bottled water, etc.
Staff was great and accommodating, and generally spoke pretty good English. There is a restaurant downstairs with pretty decent food and the prices aren't too bad, if you're in a pinch.
Would definitely stay here again if going to Seoraksan."Show more

Egg House Sokcho Guest House
"The guesthouse is really convenient if you are visiting Sokcho. It is located at about 3 minutes walk from the Intercity Bus Terminal which has buses to many parts of South Korea (We took a bus from Hongeye and a bus to Dong Seoul). It is also convenient to get around Sokcho (Mount Seroksan is easily accessible by bus and the fish market and beach is easily accessible on foot).
The place is clean and cozy and the room is well heated with ondol. The breakfast is simple, similar to what we get at other Korean hostels/guest house but I really appreciated that they had helpers cooking the eggs for us. The staff can speak simple English so there should not be major problems communicating. They are also really nice and could provide you with information about places to visit.
There is only one minor drawback which is that the showers take a little long to heat up. Overall it is great value for money and really convenient if you are visiting Sokcho by the intercity bus."Show more

They gave me ideas for places to visit and provide us with directions. The room is super clean and the bed is very comfortable. The shower water is hot and strong. The air con is strong, cold and silent during hot summer. We slept very well. Simple and declicious breakfast provided. Kitchen is neat and clean. My daughter and I have had a great, memorable time in Sokcho due to warm hospitality of this guesthouse. Thank you to Judith and Mr Lee. Anyone who come to Sokcho should stay at this guest house. It is located near the fisheries market and abai village. It is best location to travel around Sokcho. The bus stop is just near the guest house and is convenient. We will definitely come back to stay at this guesthouse. Highly recommend to anyone who come to Sokcho. So far the best guesthouse I have stayed. They are the best."Show more

Casa Seorak Bed and Breakfast
"A very pleasant experience! It is the best hotel we've ever stayed in South Korea. The host, Juha, can speak fluent English and is very willing to help - he even picked us up in the local bus terminal at dinner time when we arrived at Sokcho-si! Actually we had no idea about how to travel from Nami-Island from Sokcho-si and only made enquiry to Juha on the day when we are heading to Sokcho-si - he replied every email right away and even made some recommendations on dinner place near the hotel as we would be arriving in dinnertime.
The room is spacious and lovely, delicated decoration which makes the whole place like a home (there is even a lovely sofa in our room!). Of course, the highlight is the jacuzzi which is perfect for hikers who have spent their whole day in climbing Seoraksan. When introducing the room to us, Juha demonstrated to us how to make coffee in our own room with the coffee beans roasted by himself.
Moreover, Juha is very patient in answering every single question and request from us, when we told him that we were going to Naejangsan the next day, he shared his experience with us and even asked us what he may help. It's easy to find a luxurious or glamourous hotel to stay in, but nothing is comparable to a kind and helpful host who can bring you warmth in the chilling autumn wind in South Korea!"Show more

Smile Guesthouse
"It was a surprise as there were no reviews on Agoda. I actually stayed 2 nights in this family ran small hotel of which the first was booked via phone. I extended another night via Agoda as it was too good to leave so soon and to give it a review.
Located a little lower and further than most other hotels of the similar price next to a flowing mountain brook. It was low season and we were almost alone, away from it all. There were no bustling sounds of groceries shops (like those located a little uphill), it was almost tranquil. My window looked out to a brook, and the hills further ahead. The deluxe room which I had taken was larger than i thot, with a small hall furnished with a new sofa, TV, fridge, hairdryer & a small kitchen - just good for my kids entertainment and cook ins to enjoy the cottage like environment here.
The bathrooms were large and clean, provided with more towels than required. The bedroom had a queen sized bed with supplementary mattresses to sleep on the floor as it was floor heated, Korean style.
There is a kitchen with dining tables at the basement which was run by the owner herself so u could do some authentic Korean food on request. The owners son (cum receptionist) speaks good English and Japanese too.
To get to the ticketing booth of Soraksan a regular local bus runs every 15 minutes so no problem. My suggestions are if you like a nice get away +/- family - buy all groceries from E Mart (next to Express bus terminal Sokcho), bring em up and enjoy fresh mountain air here with your favorite book and tea/coffee latte. Let the sound of the bubbling brook cradle you to sleep at night. OOh, I miss that!"Show more

White House
"Typical Korean hotel, not much concern about aesthetics, but functional. Bed, bathroom, tv, a/c, etc. Location is close to the Seorak cable car (about a five minute drive, get there by 8 am for best parking) and hiking to the falls (3 - 4 hours up and back). Also close to a number of restaurants and convenience stores. No meals provided by the hotel but they have a kitchen/eating area where you can prepare your own meals if you prefer. Limited parking near front entrance but not impossible to find a place nearby. About 15 to 20 minutes to Sokcho for the "Foodtown" or fish market visit. We paid $280 US for 2 rooms for 2 nights. That's cheaper than one room for one night at the finer hotels nearer the mountain. Our only problem was booking it through Agoda. I booked online a good time ahead and when we called from Korea, they had trouble finding any record of the transaction. The hotel # is not listed on the website. We finally tracked it down and were able to get the rooms."Show more

Also, it was said the staff spoke English, which was not the case at all during my stay. So I couldn't ask for information or advice, which was disappointing.
I chose this hotel to go hike in Seoraskan, but you still need to take the bus for 5 minutes to reach the park entrance. And you are 20-30 minutes awa from the center of Sokcho, which makes it not so convenient for going to the beach or visiting the city."Show more

There is a kitchen with dining tables at the basement which was run by the owner herself so u could do some authentic Korean food on request. The owners son (cum receptionist) speaks good English and Japanese too.
To get to the ticketing booth of Soraksan a regular local bus runs every 15 minutes so no problem. My suggestions are if you like a nice get away +/- family - buy all groceries from E Mart (next to Express bus terminal Sokcho), bring em up and enjoy fresh mountain air here with your favorite book and tea/coffee latte. Let the sound of the bubbling brook cradle you to sleep at night. OOh, I miss that!"Show more

"At around 40,000 won per night, this is a good place to stay. Older hotel, not fancy but clean enough and quiet, Some nice views. very close to restaurants and convenience stores/ pharmacy. Friendly staff. Bus to Seoroksan also very close and only takes 10 or so minutes (depending on traffic). Can also go into Sokcho easily from bus stop nearby.
Hot water, WIFI and Air conditioning were provided."Show more

"The lady that welcomed me was extremely nice! She made sure to explain everything about the room and nearby things to do and checked later to see if I needed anything.
The room was very clean and spacious, just like the pictures. The bathroom is big and the shower head was taller than me which is a big win in Asia (and I'm only 173cm).
Both Sokcho beach and Daepohang are about 10min walk away; it's also very close to the bus station.
Will definitely return!"Show more

Secondly, you will have a warm welcoming. The facilities same as picture, don't worry.
Thirdly, when you arrive at Hanok Village by bus, you must walk 2min upfront and the place will be on your left. Only small building.
Lastly, really recommended place. Nothing else to said."Show more

Goodstay Hotel Amaranth
"Great hotel and great prices. Just on the outskirts of Sokcho-si, about 6,000 KRW taxi ride to either the Bus Terminals or Seoraksan Park - kind of in the middle of both.
Rooms are really nice, especially for the price. Very clean hotel, and the amenities in the rooms are very nice: big flatscreen, nice beds (mattresses are a little hard, but that's every where in Asia), all the toiletries you need, bottled water, etc.
Staff was great and accommodating, and generally spoke pretty good English. There is a restaurant downstairs with pretty decent food and the prices aren't too bad, if you're in a pinch.
Would definitely stay here again if going to Seoraksan."Show more

Seoraksan BanDalGom
"The location is really good. It was nice to watch the Sunrise over the mountains from the balcony. It was really quiet and the bed was really comfortable. It is, however is an area with several abandoned properties and that gives the place a spooky vibe. Also, the check in is at the Hotel across the street - not necessarily a bad thing, but there is no one manning the front desk at night.
I think we may have been one of three rooms booked here on a Saturday night. We came to see the leaves and get some fresh air outside of Seoul, but the property is run down... I've never been to other places there, but it feels as though they are getting ready to tear down all the properties and build something else.
$50 bucks may have been a bit too much... If I paid half that I would have felt much better"Show more

"We stayed 3 nights at Hotel Maremons. We really searched a long time for a good hotel in Sokcho. After we read the references we were not sure whether we should book it. We did not find anything better so we chose Maremons.
It is definitely not that bad like the references said. The rooms are clean, the bathroom has a huge shower. The furniture is a little bit old but not that bad. They do not offer wifi in the rooms which is very unusual in Korea. The breakfast for 18.000 won extra charge per person offers lots of different Asian and European food. We are sure that the walls are not that thin like in other hotels. So we slept very well. Hotel Maremons is located close to a Bus stop. From there you can reach the inner city (line 1, 7 and 9) and you also can reach Seoraksan National Park with Bus no. 7-1 within 20 minutes (1.200 WON). You also can get to Naksan beach and Naksansa Temple by bus."Show more

At the mouth of Sokcho city just after passing through the Misiryeong Tunnel.There are some tourist attraction which are to good to skip.
Md Dessa, Malaysia
It is a very nic e city near Seoraksan national park. The people are very friendly. The officer from the tourist information centre (Ms Choi) at intercity bus terminal is very helpful.
Aung Myint, Singapore
We can do hiking the Seorak Mountain, eating in many seafood markets, shopping in e-mart. We rented a car by using GPS so we can do many things otherwise we may take a bus or taxi but the taxi drivers are not communication by English.
W K, Hong Kong
Sokcho is very hard to get around, the only public transportation that is cheap is by bus, unless you are willing to spend cash for taxi or hire a car to drive around, you can't get around very much.
James, Indonesia

Sokcho initially comes across as a sleepy fishing town surrounded by mountains. This small city offers excellent sightseeing opportunities from the nearby beaches to the famous Mount Seoraksan.

The City of Sokcho-si has plenty to offer. I only spent one night and next time I will try to spend two or three nights.
Sean, Canada
The main thing I would say about Sokcho is that it has the best seafood in Korea. The sushi and sashimi here is better than anywhere in Seoul or in Busan.
Hannah, United States

With U Hotel & Guesthouse
"Travelled to Sokcho to hike Seoraksan
This guesthouse is everything that you need! It has free breakfast (simple yet VERY filling) included in the rate, the rooms are really clean and the bunk beds are really spacious. The ensuite toilet is really spacious and the shower temperature is great for me!
The guesthouse is just right opposite Sokcho Express Bus Terminal, you can't miss it from across the street. Right beside it, there is a family restaurant that specialises in Korean clear beef soup 설렁탕 and Korean stuffed blood sausages 순대 in different flavours (which is also the specialty of the region). A few more steps and you'll see a fried chicken shop and CU convenience store. The guesthouse is also a 5 minute walk to Sokcho beach, where you can have a very good view of Sunrise and Sunset, with many seafood restaurants along the beach.
(Tip: if you're heading to Seoraksan, take bus 7 or 7-1 right outside CU convenience store)
You'll be greeted by the dogs in the guesthouse and they are really cute.
The two owners are really nice and despite speaking minimal English, they went all out to make sure my stay was pleasant.
The entertainment room at the basement was really unique! It's like a mini auditorium to hang out and watch movies. There are board games, Wii and a mini billiard table for guests to play too. There is a meeting room at the basement for guests who needs some privacy to discuss things.
Another pleasant surprise was that the movies on demand were free. However, if you can't read or understand Korean, it might be a problem.
Thank you for the pleasant stay, will definitely be back!"Show more

Casa Seorak Bed and Breakfast
"A very pleasant experience! It is the best hotel we've ever stayed in South Korea. The host, Juha, can speak fluent English and is very willing to help - he even picked us up in the local bus terminal at dinner time when we arrived at Sokcho-si! Actually we had no idea about how to travel from Nami-Island from Sokcho-si and only made enquiry to Juha on the day when we are heading to Sokcho-si - he replied every email right away and even made some recommendations on dinner place near the hotel as we would be arriving in dinnertime.
The room is spacious and lovely, delicated decoration which makes the whole place like a home (there is even a lovely sofa in our room!). Of course, the highlight is the jacuzzi which is perfect for hikers who have spent their whole day in climbing Seoraksan. When introducing the room to us, Juha demonstrated to us how to make coffee in our own room with the coffee beans roasted by himself.
Moreover, Juha is very patient in answering every single question and request from us, when we told him that we were going to Naejangsan the next day, he shared his experience with us and even asked us what he may help. It's easy to find a luxurious or glamourous hotel to stay in, but nothing is comparable to a kind and helpful host who can bring you warmth in the chilling autumn wind in South Korea!"Show more

Egg House Sokcho Guest House
"The guesthouse is really convenient if you are visiting Sokcho. It is located at about 3 minutes walk from the Intercity Bus Terminal which has buses to many parts of South Korea (We took a bus from Hongeye and a bus to Dong Seoul). It is also convenient to get around Sokcho (Mount Seroksan is easily accessible by bus and the fish market and beach is easily accessible on foot).
The place is clean and cozy and the room is well heated with ondol. The breakfast is simple, similar to what we get at other Korean hostels/guest house but I really appreciated that they had helpers cooking the eggs for us. The staff can speak simple English so there should not be major problems communicating. They are also really nice and could provide you with information about places to visit.
There is only one minor drawback which is that the showers take a little long to heat up. Overall it is great value for money and really convenient if you are visiting Sokcho by the intercity bus."Show more

More about Sokcho-si
This sleepy town in Gangwon is a mountain climber’s paradise, and a great place in which to spend a few relaxing days away from the buzzing activity of a big city. There is no airport in Sokcho, but it’s possible to fly into neighboring airports and arrange for bus. Most travelers arrange for a bus directly from Seoul, arriving at Sokcho Bus Terminal. The nearest train station is over an hour away from Sokcho, so international travelers arriving into Seoul would be well advised to arrange a bus journey into Sokcho. There are several hotels near the bus terminal, within easy access of other public transportation to get to the major sites once settled in.
Sokcho’s biggest draw is as the gateway to Seoraksan National Park, one of the most beautiful mountainous parks in the country. Hotels near the national park are a great resource for planning the best way to explore this mountainous park. Travelers can also arrange for local tour guides, especially if language barrier might present a challenge. This park is the best place to do some mountain climbing, and enjoy the spectacular view from the top of the peak.
When not climbing the many peaks in Sokcho, head to the coastline to take in the quiet scenery of the East Sea, especially atmospheric at night with all the fireworks that locals like to set off.
There’s much more to see and learn about Sokcho, and the interactive map on this page is a great way to find out where the attractions and hotels can be found in this interesting city.
