Basic accommodations for a family of 4

Our room had 4 bunk beds and a queen sized bed. They don't want you eating in your room but there is a kitchen with seating on the first floor. In the morning there is bad coffee, juice, cereal and toast. This was nice as most eating establishments are not open before 10. The hostel was conveniently located near to the Jungang market and to the 7 bus to Seoraksan. The 7 and 9 bus were convenient to many further tourist attractions. We also easily walked to Abai village and Yeonggungjeom Pavilion.

A good choice of stay at Sokcho

Room is clean with limited furniture. The location of the accommodation is quite alright. Major tourist sites are within walking distance. Close to city bus stop with 3-min walk only. Easy access to bus for seoraksan national park. The short cut to Inter City Bus Terminal takes no more than 10 minutes. If time is right you may enjoy the sunrise from the rooftop terrace.

A super comfortable place to stay.

This was a rather great place to stay. My room was comfy and clean. Really, James Blue Hostel is the epitome of comfortable. The proprietors are kind with cheerful attitudes, and James helped me plot out a course for the day. The room was roomy with more than enough space

Cosy and comfortable

Cosy and clean place, we were very comfortable (: neighbourhood is very close to "happening" spots at night - no lack of activity! Host James was also very helpful in recommending dinner places and touristy spots to visit. Overall, a great time!
