Un séjour très agréable en famille
Pros:

L emplacement de l hôtel est exceptionnel à l entrée du parc, parfait pour profiter du site et des randonnées. Les chambres sont confortables, le petit déjeuner est varié, le personnel est sympathique.

Cons:

La décoration de la salle du petit déjeuner mériterait peut être un rafraîchissement.

Lovely locations and views.
Pros:

Great location for hiking the park. Its 5 mins walk up the road. Breakfast was pretty good, and you can load up snacks for the day hikes. There is also a shop in the lobby that sells water and other essentials. Staff were pleasant, helpful and polite. Great views of the mountains at breakfast. Free parking

Cons:

For some reason it was not possible to turn off the underfloor heating in the room, so it turns into an oven, and if you leave anything on the floor it'll get very hot - food stuffs will melt etc, products will go runny etc. The room gets very stuffy and the aircon is a bit annoying to use. Our sink had a leak which sent water everywhere, but was swiftly fixed by the staff.

뷰가 좋은 9층~~
Pros:

저녁에 2층 레스토랑 이용했어요.
가격대비 맛도 좋았고 구성도 좋았어요.
직원들 서비스도 만족스럽습니다.
9층에서 커피랑 디저트 먹었는데 친절한 직원덕에 맛있게 잘 먹고 훌륭한 전망도 즐길수 있어 만족스럽습니다.

Cons:

온돌형 객실인데 침대가 들어가니 좁은 감이 있었어요.
좌식의자도 조금 불편했습니다.

Pros:

Lo mejor es la ubicación, a 100 metros de la entrada del PN, eso sí cuando cierra el parque las actividades se reducen a cero, salvo que te desplaces a Sokcho

Cons:

El hotel está un poco anticuado, yo creo que había que hacer alguna renovación. Independientemente de seguir manteniendo su estilo británico

Pros:

Excellent location to park. Wonderful mountain views! Many spots in the lobby are picturesque. 9th floor café and observatory was nice.

Cons:

Interior is dated, in need of renovation/repairs. There is high interior moisture, possible mold issues. Air quality issues inside of the room, opening the window does not do much.

Très bon séjour, personnel charmant et serviable,nous recommandons
Pros:

Emplacement idéal pour aller faire des randonnées.

Cons:

Réveil le matin vers 5h30 avec bruit de chaises au-dessus de la chambre
Les repas mériteraient d’être un peu plus variés pour les clients qui restent plusieurs jours.

Dépaysant mais pas accueillant
Pros:

Le cadre est magnifique. L espace des chambre est très agréable.

Cons:

Le personnel manque de sourire. Nous ne nous sommes pas sentis les bienvenus.
Le petit déjeuner est assez cher et propose très peu de choses occidentales. Pas de chocolat chaud, pas de croissant. Au niveau des boissons chaudes très limites. Vous êtes heureux si vous avez envie de manger un bibimbzp au réveil. La salle de bain est un peu vieillotte .

Pros:

아침식사가 좋고 위치가 환상적입니다.

Cons:

벌레와 모기가 많고 리모델링이 전혀 안되어 있어 낙후되었습니다.
