Pros:

설악산과 가장 가까운 호텔입니다. 위치는 최고입니다. 노후된 호텔이지만 이마저도 엔틱한 느낌이라 좋고, 정말 깨끗합니다.

Top!
Pros:

Het was echt een Engels hotel. Fijne kamer met mooi uitzicht. Hotel zelf is heel sfeervol en je loopt zo naar het park toe. Ontbijt is lekker. Restaurant ook lekker en evt vega optie. Neem ook een kijkje op het dakterras.
Parkeren kan op het terrein, dat is gratis. Met OV kan ook. Wij namen heen vanaf Gangneung een taxi en terug een taxi naar Sokcho en de bus naar Seoul.

Cons:

Alleen wel wat prijzig.

Hotel worth only for the location
Pros:

The location just outside the park is excellent. The breakfast was good.

Cons:

They really need to renovate the rooms - the carpet was beyond acceptable and worn to the thread. The room and corridors had a very dusty unpleasant smell.

Pros:

Extrem gute Lage für den Nationalpark

Cons:

Für 4 Personen gebucht, nur ein Doppelbett gehabt. 2 Personen mussten auf dem Boden schlafen und es wurde als „Korean Style“ verkauft.
Hotel ist sehr in die Jahre gekommen, modriger Geruch

Pros:

설악산이 멋진 고풍스러운 숙소였습니다.
조식의 강원도 특산요리가 만족스러웠어요!
영국풍 인테리어와 테마가 이국적이라 기억에 남습니다.

Cons:

아무래도 오래된 호텔이다보니 노후되어보이는데 옛 스타들의 애장품으로 더 노후되어보였습니다.
차라리 영국느낌나는 다른 소품으로 통일감만 줘도 깔끔해 보일 것 같아요.
애비로드카페는 비틀즈 테마가 주가 되어야할 곳이나 음악부터가 유튜브 AI뮤직으로 실망스러웠습니다.
