With U Hotel & Guesthouse

With U is in a very convenient location, 2 minutes from the express bus terminal and Seoraksan bus stop and 5 minutes from the beach. I stayed in the private bunk bed room, a great value for some private, albiet, cramped space. Facilities were great. There is even an outdoor seating are and a basement with water, coffee, kitchen, and entertainment

- I took the very first bus from Seoul and wound up at the accommodation before the reception opened. The host was very accommodating and allowed me to stow my luggage and directed me to the correct bus stop. - The host also provided me with an umbrella when I checked out of the accommodation as it was bucketing down outside. That was very kind so huge thank-you for that. - The room was minimal but comfortable, tidy, and spacious - The bed was comfortable for me. - Shampoo, conditioner, body wash and toothpaste was provided. Shower pressure was good. - The room felt very secure - There's no kettle in the room, but there is a water bubbler providing hot and cold water in the lobby. There's also 2 bottles of water in the mini-fridge. - Location wise, it is across the road from the Sokcho Express Bus Station and down the road from the number 7 and 7-1 bus that takes you to Seoraksan National Park

Very helpful staff, who will help you with queries and provide all necessary info. Absolutely convenient location- bang opposite the Express bus terminal (Mind you, there are two bus terminals in Sokcho. One is Intercity bus terminal, and the other is Express bus terminal. This place is opposite Express bus terminal). Hardly a minute walk to the Sokcho beach. And right outside the hotel exit is the bus stop where you can take the bus to your destination. Bus 7 and 7-1 go to Seoraksan entrance gate(first bus is at 6.30 AM). E mart convenience store is right in front, and so is Lotteria restaurant where I have had the most amazing vegan burger ever!! Our room had one double bed and two small beds, and also a small kitchenette where you can cook. In the basement there`s another common kitchen, and billiards tables. There`s no in house restaurant, but there are a lot of restaurants/ cafes around, so no worries!!

The gentleman who manned the reception alone during all three days of my stay was extremely helpful and courteous. He carried my luggage up to the third floor upon arrival, and during check-out — likely because the hotel wasn’t very busy at the time — he noticed I was preparing to leave and came up to the third floor to bring my luggage down for me.

The guesthouse is perfectly located for arriving from Seoul as it is close to the Express bus terminal, going to Seoraksan park as there is a bus station just in front of it, and visiting the city as everything is reachable on foot. Everything was perfect! Basic, but comfortable. Super clean and very very nice personnel. I could leave my bag pack while I was at seoraksan park. No problem at all!
