Memorable stay

The owner was extremely kind and helpful. We met friendly travelers from around the world. It was a clean and wonderful place to stay! We would return. So close to Seoraksan mountain and to the coastal city of Sokcho.

I had a great stay here during my trip to Seoraksan National Park. The hosts were so warm and friendly. I was able to do a load of laundry (for a small extra charge) and while I was waiting in the lobby for the wash cycle to finish, the host gave me some mugwort rice cakes to try.

After a hectic week in Seoul, this was a great place to relax and unwind. I was immediately greated and felt welcomed by the owner. The rooms are basic but comfortable. There is a light breakfast supplied. The bus is a 5 minute walk (#7 and 7-1) and for those who like walking/hiking, Seoraksan National Park is an easy hour away (by foot) as well as many other trails around this beautiful area. This place is a hidden gem.

A bus stop is very nearby making trips to the mountain and beaches very convenient. The owner and staff were super nice. I was able to borrow a hiking pole and received helpful guidance on a hiking route. It was a very comfortable stay.

Nice environmental place. Building is old but room was ok. The bad thing is bed was hard,not comfortable. But i can't complaint more cause i got what i paid for. It was incredibly cheap.around 30 dollars a day. I must say that the place where the hotel located is the best place in seulaksan mountain area to enjoy and healing. The owner was nice and helpful too.

Stayed at a room right in front of the stairway. Checked in a bit late and didn't have a chance to ask. Seems this room doesn't have heating so it was pretty chilly at night although the floor wasn't that cold. Should ask the owner for a heater if you find the room cold.

If you're looking for a clean, quiet place to rest up for/recover from a big hike at Seoraksan National Park, you can't do better than this for the money. It's certainly no-frills, but the proprietor is kind and easy-going, the room was spotless, the water is hot and pressure high, and you're minutes from the most popular entrance to the park. Breakfast is simple but filling - toast, cereal, and freshly steamed rice cakes with fresh coffee or tea. There are hot water kettles and filtered water refill stations on each floor. The beds are quite firm, but we slept comfortably. A note on the area: The bus schedule can be a little confusing, but we never had to wait more than 15 minutes for one. This isn't a popular stop on the bus route, so just make sure to stay close to the road and keep an eye out so you can wave to the driver, otherwise it may fly past! It almost passed us on our trip into the park, but I ran after it waving and it stopped as soon as the driver saw me. The surrounding area is a bit eerie - many of the neighboring properties look to have been reclaimed by nature decades ago, but it did not feel unsafe. If you're into urban exploring, this may even be a plus for you! There is a 24 hour market with the usual packaged convenience foods a couple blocks away on the main road, as well as several active restaurants that appear to be kept open by tour bus lunch breaks. All in all, everything we needed and a great value!

Mycket trevligt vänligt hostel. Dock lite krångel vid incheckning då värden ej fått med att jag betalat för två. Kallt på rummen och av o till inte varmvatten i dusch. Men med hänsyn till kostnaden absolut värt! Jättetrevlig värdinna! Själva stället är dock väldigt ödsligt med förfallna hus.

Probably last quality accommodation in that area

Unfortunately, all surrounding is in bad state, most of hotels and services are bankrupted and many of them already getting destroyed, all surrounding is like a ghost town. But that is what Smile Resort owner can not impact. All what she can do she does very well, accommodation is nice, good managed, very hostile owner.

Gute Lage zum Wandern, es gibt ein kleines Frühstück. Das Haus an sich und die Zimmer sind recht schön. Die Gastgeberin ist freundlich. Größtes Manko ist aber, dass alles sehr abgenutzt ist. Es ist zwar an sich sauber aber da alte Flecken etc vorhanden sind, fühlt es sich nicht so an. Sehr schade, mit etwas Investition in neue Laken etc wäre das Guesthouse wirklich ein toller Ort. Wen das nicht stört, wird hier sehr zufrieden sein (zudem gibt es in der Umgebung wahrscheinlich nicht viel bessere Alternativen).

너무 추웠습니다.

1월1일에 날씨는 -1도 정도였고 3층에 묵었는데 방이 너무 추워서 내피용 파커 입고 방바닥에서 잤습니다. 오래된 건물이라 역사와 추억은 많겠지만 두번다시 가겠나 싶습니다. 수질은 아주 좋았고...사장님 인상은 좋았는데 큰아들은 감기들고 밤새 덜덜 떨면서 잤는데 그냥 돌아왔습니다.
