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.

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.

솔직 숙박 후기

침대와 수압이 좋은 것 외에는 비추입니다. 유럽식 조식이라는 이름이 무색하게토스트와 시리얼 두 개라고 말하는 편이 솔찍하지 않을까합니다. 청결면에서도 식당은 불결했고 의자나 테이블이 대부분 많이 흔들거렸고, 개인 수저세트와 접시나 그릇 등은 본인이 챙겨오셔야하겠습니다. 남과 같이 쓰는 게 부담스럽다면 말이죠. 샴푸와 바디클렌저 뿐이라 린스 사용 고객이라면 각자 가져와야할 듯. 매일 하우스키핑 원한다면 주인장님께 언급하셔야합니다. 아니면 스킵. 전체적으로 실망, 리뷰와 사진과 안내가 실제와 많이 다른 듯합니다.

제임스 블루 게스트하우스는 가성비 최고로 친구들에게 꼭 추천하고 싶은 숙소입니다.

우선 주차장이 넓고 객실이 깨끗하고 바닥이 따뜻해서 아주 좋았습니다. 속초 중심부에 위치하고 있어 속초 중앙시장에 가기도 편리하고 동명항이나 속초해변에 가기도 좋았으며 아바이마을의 갯배 타는 곳도 가깝고 횟집거리도 가까워서 좋았습니다. 1층의 쉼터는 완전히 카페분위기였으며 아침식사로 빵과 우유가 제공되는데 콘센트도 많아 별도로 라면을 끓여먹거나 하기에도 아주 좋았으며 다음에 속초에 오게되면 다시 이용하고 싶으며 친구들이 속초에 여행 간다면 꼭 이용하라고 권하고 싶습니다.. 굳이 점수로 평하라면 10점 만점에 10점입니다.
