The owner was extremely nice and gave us a lot of tips. He made us feel very welcome and even drove us to the bus station. The hotel was very clean, nice and comfy. Perfect location and sea view from our room. 10 min from fish market on foot. Next to the bus line that takes you directly to Seoraksan park. I would certainly choose it again if I return

Very new Hotel, located at the shore. Walking distance to seafood places. We booked access to family lounge, very nice concept for kids and adults. The hotel added a tent to the room, nice place to sleep for the kid and small gifts were found in the room as well. Game Arcade on the 5th floor includes even singing rooms. We used the infinity pool, super condition. Fantastic breakfast choices!

This review is for Yongpyeong Resort - Dragon Valley Hotel. Good hotel reception gave us the most pleasant experience. Our booking was at the end of February this year. For that booking, we had the apartment, but we arrived hotel by transport. The initial arrangement, the front desk reception, (nice gentleman which looks similar to "Yan can cook" celebrity chef looks like) the gentlemen - unfortunately we can't remember his name as we don't speak good Korean. This nice and kind gentlemen have helped guide us to the apartment under the same umbrella. He also offered to upgrade us to a hotel as we had kids around, but we politely declined the offer as we booked the apartment. We had arrived at the apartment to check in but it was very unsafe to get to the apartment due to we need to push the stroller along the road, but overall the apartment it was a very nice accommodation either. We decided to go back to the hotel front desk to look for help. Once again it is that nice gentlemen who saw that we were push a stroller with a 2 years old girlgudp. He persisted in arranging a room for us, even though it was the extreme peak of the March bank holiday in South Korea – everyone was there for skiing. We were very grateful to him for his kind and welcoming personality who helped us find the room and change our booking from apartment to hotel. The hotel room is more expensive than the apartment and he tries allocate us a room that does not incurring too much cost to us. We manage to have the change of booking from the apartment to the hotel room and we have an extremely pleasant stay in the hotel. Also kudos to the night front desk lady who is so fluent in English, with her help, we were able to find our way to the alpaca farm with ease. Overall, the stay at this hotel is extremely nice and we enjoyed the skiing experience. The whole trip to Yongpeong is wonderful and we will be glad to be back again. our sincere appreciate for the kind front desk staffs.

What a beautiful place to stay! My room (spacious, welcoming, very modern and with a great bathroom) and a balcony overlooking the sea. The hotel is in a magical spot, not in the centre of Sokcho (but I had been there before, I wanted to explore the area) and you can really get an authentic experience with the atmosphere and the food. The convenience store inside the hotel is not a rarity in Korea, but I am still not used to it, I think it's so cool and convenient :) Super recommend if you want to visit the Daepo Port area.

It was a good price, clean and spacious rooms. The resort is surrounded by nature. Seorak mountain is a place highly recommended to visit. There is a good hike but go prepared with drinks, snacks and take time to rest. We didn't eat at the restaurants as we had our plans but there is a restaurant and a convenient shop on the same level where reception is located. You can get there a lot of emergency food and drinks and basically all you need.

So beautiful!

So beautiful! Great to get out of Seoul for a bit for some mountains in the east. The mountains are just breathtakingly beautiful... I love hiking up these stunning mountains with 80 year old Korean grandmas and grandpas in their full set matching tech hiking gear. Hehehe!!! I felt like such a novice. Sadly, I couldn't attempt the highest peak, but got up to Ulsanbawi and the view...!!!! Don't underestimate the late 1 km. Hahaha. It's a killer staircase. Absolutely beautiful. The bus from Seoul to Seokcho is super comfortable, easy to book on Klook, around $15US. You get one stop along the way for a quick bathroom break. You can also quickly buy some food or drinks. I wish I had more time in Sokcho. Would have loved to explore the beaches and the lake. Apparently walking barefoot is all the rage! A lovely middle aged lady was explaining to me at the bus stop. There are barefoot paths along the lake etc

It was very cold during our stay, so we didn't walk much. We mainly skied. The infrastructure is well developed, there are shops, saunas, swimming pools and cafes. The mountains are not very high, but there are many slopes for varied skiing. We use only Mona YongPyong slopes. Our 16 y.o. son got injured on the slope, the Rescue service worked very quickly and professionally. Bravo!
