Sokcho Mari Vista Hotel

Our stay at this hotel has been pleasant overall, but we did encounter two problems, 1. When we entered our room we found out that the AC was not working properly, we gave it some time and it still didn’t work so we contacted the receptionist, which sent us a technician to solve our problem but his only solution was to wait, and even when we told him that we have been in the room for two hours already, he insisted we need to wait (he did not understand English so the conversation was really hard to get through), so after waiting another hour we contacted the receptionist again and this time transferred us to another room which had good AC so this problem was solved. 2. The breakfast was really really bad, and the only real source of protein it had was pork in 4 different ways, and scrambled egg which we really didn’t like at all, and also the only choice of coffee in the breakfast is milk with “coffee syrup”(???) which is super inappropriate. Overall I would recommend to stay in this hotel and just not take the breakfast.

Mari Vista hotel is an excellent hotel, close to everything: beach, restaurants, bus stops to Seoraksan park or Naksansa temple. It is also within a walking distance to Abai village. The hotel is modern and clean. The check-in is at 3pm and you have to get a number and wait in line. The check-out is simpler as you just have to drop your key cards into a box in the elevator.

Great location. Hotel feels like brand new, everything is sparkling clean. They provide fresh towels and bottled water every day- the bag is hanged at the door handle without causing any disturbance. Great view.

Large, spacious room with amazing view over sea. Comfortable and clean. Breakfast options were good. Receptionists knowledge could be improved - was given incorrect information about buses to Seoraksan National park.

The location was convenient, making it easy to get around, and the room was clean and well maintained, which made the stay very comfortable. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, so the entire experience from check-in to check-out was pleasant. I would definitely consider staying here again if I visit this area in the future.

Weird and bizarre experience if not an otherwise good hotel. The hotel uses a 3rd party cleaning service, and they removed cosmetic items from my room without any warning during cleaning, and the hotel staff couldn't do anything since it wasn't part of their staffing. I had to check through to make sure nothing else was lost, which was a terrible experience. Please do not leave your valuables in this hotel given this circumstance.

better than expected for the price value. so clean and they have heating floor so it’s warm. the only cons no bidet for the toilet. but overall good, convenient and spacious.

Super value for money! It’s a 8 minutes walk from sokcho express bus terminal. The room is just right for a solo traveller wld be abit of a squeeze but it’s alright for 2 person as well. Super convenient that there’s a microwave at the lobby since Korean restaurants usually don’t cater to solo diners so you would need to takeaway most of the time . Saw in some of the reviews that the elevator takes a long time but the hotel has fixed that! They split the elevators such that there’s 2 elevators for the lower floors and the higher floors. Would definitely come back next time! No toothbrush provided but slippers, shampoo, conditioner, body wash and bottled water are available

Location and view was amazing! Only downside is, they have very limited parking and for foreign tourists, you may have to park outside the hotel (3 mins walk away) in an unsecured location. Price was fair too.
