Best Spa Hotel in Sokcho-si

1. Doubt whether smoking is well managed in the room - As soon as I entered the room, it was unpleasant because of the smoked (?) smell. - The smell does not go away even after ventilation. -I sleep at dawn, but the smell of cigarettes enters the room. (The room was not on the 1st floor) 2. Bedding management -I can't use it because the futon and pillow smell a lot. 3. Employee service It was nice that you greeted me brightly first 🙂 I think we need to take measures against smoking in the room.

It's an old hotel, but it was clean. I was able to go out and see the sea on foot. There is Daepo Port nearby, and the fried food there is delicious and the squid sundae is also delicious.

There are convenience stores and hop house restaurants in front and back. I chose the beach right in front of me. The room I chose has a mini swimming pool, so it's private. You have to know that the swimming pool will be operated from June !!! It was great to relax with a day's fatigue while spaing! It's close to the city and the street, so it didn't exceed 25 minutes anywhere! It's perfect to go to Yeonggeumjeong next door, watch the sunrise, and walk! It's good to spread a mat on the beach, eat snacks and play in the water!

Why I chose this hotel at Sokcho : The sea view from rooms The wide range of room options The Lotte hotel chain I already know The amenities and services on site. We (2 people) booked a superior suite with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and an incredible view on the sea. It’s the perfect place to stay to recover from a very nasty jet lag. We slept very well, enjoying each of us our own bed and room. Maybe it was the best view I ever had lying on my bed. The hotel is huge and comes with many amenities, which are well described on the website. In October the water park is closed and the hotel is pretty quiet, which is exactly what I was expecting. I personally would not come here during busy Summer holidays. The staff is very friendly and speaks enough English for helping you to book a taxi. I was happy to be told that they don’t charge any longer a deposit on your credit card, which takes then weeks to be cleared out. Instead they charge the total amount due for your stay at check-in, which I find more convenient. From the hotel (located on a hill), you can walk (along the sea) either on the left to the long sand beach, or to the right to the port, where you will find many seafood restaurants. We ate one evening at one of the hotel restaurants (Natural Soul Kitchen). The food was delicious, refreshing and healthy. To reach the hotel, we took the bus from Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Gyeonbu Yeongdong Line, next to Gangnam area). It takes around 2.5 hours. The bus departing from this terminal arrives at Sokcho EXPRESS Bus Terminal, which is close to Sokcho beach and closer to the Lotte resort. Be aware that there are 2 bus terminals in Seoul from where you can reach Sokcho. At Sokcho, there is another bus terminal further north (Sokcho INTERCITY Bus Terminal). Make sure that you depart from the same terminal where you arrived if you have return tickets. We didn’t manage to buy the bus tickets online. Apparently you need a credit card issued in SKorea to be able to process the payment. So we had to go directly to the bus terminal to buy our tickets. If you want premium seats buy them several days in advance. Even if your main interest is hiking in Seoraksan National Park, I think this hotel is the perfect « base camp », as in the morning you will wake up with this beautiful sea view and at night you will fall asleep with the sound of lapping waves. I will come back for sure. The hotel, the sea, the mountains,... I didn't expect to feel so well and so energized there.

The staff is very friendly and it was a pleasant trip. The room was clean, and the sandwiches and coffee for breakfast were really good. The soundproofing is a bit poor, but the other advantages have been offset, and I will go again next time.

The beach right in front, the simple shower at the entrance, the sea view, and the cleanliness are all excellent.

There are many food around the hotel and the location is good. In fact, there are no amenities in the hotel, so you have to solve all the parts outside, self breakfast in the morning (ramen, toast, cereal and coffee, etc.) It's available, but it's better to expect it to be an unusual experience than it's very rich. The day we went was full, but I was sorry to see that I was alone in the room, such as poor electricity. But thank you for your kind response. Other male staff seem not very friendly. The facilities are not bad, but for the spa in the suite, both drainage and water supply should be requested to the counter, and drainage is only available in the morning, and if it is a consecutive night, you will not clean the room. It was a sookcho found in a long time, but it's not too bad for a hotel.

The overall feeling is good, clean and convenient.
