Location: A bit of a walk from the parking lot.
Building: Very noisy in strong winds.
Cleanliness: So-so.
Heating: The bedroom with the bed was cold, the ondol (heated floor) room was hot, and the living room was just right. Both the bedroom and living room were drafty.
Breakfast: Great view, delicious food, and satisfactory service.
For the room rate I was getting, this was an excellent option. Room was fairly spacious and even comes with a washing machine and drying stand! Bed and pillows were clean and fairly comfortable. Location was fairly central with Daiso and EMart within walking distance!
Overall a nice hotel for a comfortable stay for day trips to Seoraksan and surrounding sights. Highly recommended!
Overall, the condition is clean and there is a lighthouse beach nearby, so it seems like a good place to go.
There is a parking fee, but you can park on the street nearby. I stayed on the 5th floor, and the wall was a view of the construction site, so it was actually nice!
I recommend going outside to see the sky or the sea, and if you are sensitive to noise, wear earplugs and sleep.
I didn't mind the noise from the accommodation itself, but I could hear the construction site noise from 8 in the morning, so it was a little annoying!
And be sure to visit the coffee shop and burger place nearby! They are delicious. ㅎㅎㅎㅎ Have a nice trip! 👍
The room was clean, with good AC. The view from the balcony was stunning. In the evening we could enjoy the sound of the tide. The beach was right across the street.
There was no toothbrush in the room, which is a normal thing in Korea, I guess, so be ready for it. But there is a convenience store in the building, so it was not a big problem
Located right on Anmok Beach, the view is breathtaking. That alone makes this place worth staying at. The in-room bathtub was also a nice touch, allowing you to enjoy the ocean while soaking in a half-bath. It's also located near the coffee street, so if you want to enjoy the ocean without feeling intimidated by a nighttime stroll, this is a highly recommended option.
The room was clean and nice. It had a refreshing view of the small stream right next door, and it was quiet. I was very satisfied! The price was also good. There was a convenience store right in front, and I was able to purchase affiliated products like the cable car and swimming pool at a discount.
The building feels a bit old, and I can hear people talking loudly in the hallway, so I think the soundproofing isn't that great, but the bedding was clean and the room was warm, so I had a good rest.
There's a convenience store on the first floor, so it's good for buying things I need, and the ocean view from the room is nice.
It was nice that they provided sparkling wine and caprese as welcome drinks, and the barbecue set was delicious.
The ocean view from the sky lounge restaurant was also nice.
I also ordered breakfast and had it, and it was delicious.
It was nice to stay for a day and leave.
Nice clean hotel across from a nice beach for surfing. I was initially disappointed to find the hotel was across a very busy road from the beach, but the hotel itself is quiet and the rooftop in the morning was a great way to take in the sunset. I might not book here again because of the busy road but the hotel is nice.
I went to see the Daegwallyeong Snow Festival, and it was convenient because it was right in front.
It felt like a clean officetel.
It was convenient to use nearby amenities and shops.
The price was reasonable, so I think I'll use it again next time.
The bedding was clean, and there was a range and washing machine.
It's a good place to travel with family.
Very Good

Hhau yeeHotel is clean and fun. Our family enjoy much. They have treasure hut and uncountable lego blocks in the room. My girl loves this hotel the most in the whole Seoul trip.
My girl enjoyed the little game in room, the swimming pool, a small warm pool, indoor children playground very very much!
For car parking, we followed the naver map arrive the hotel. When we got there, they didnt allow us to park in front of the hotel, and we need to drive back to their specific parking area, and took shuttle bus back to the hotel again. This action wasted us an hour to go and back, and even waited around 30mins for check in. If they allow us to put down the luggage and do check-in first, and park the car later, that would be much better. It is sad for the 1st impression. And I found the locals would ask the staff to park their car for them to the specific car park. How come this could not be the same to foreign guests?
One more is not good about the dinner buffet. This was paid, W90000. When we got there after swim, around 8-8:30pm, the food left not much.But they close at 9:30pm. They refill slowly slowly.

슈슈슈유니Considering the price was about triple the usual, there wasn't much to praise besides the location. However, if you prioritize value for money in terms of location, this place is perfect! It's fantastic for strolls along Sokcho Beach. Definitely not recommended during peak holiday season.
LLeia K.The Orchid Hotel was everything and more as described on their website and the reviews. I stayed in the superior room with 1 king bed which was very comfortable. The air conditioner is adjustable to your preference. The hotel was very clean, spacious, very friendly staff (24hr lobby staff)and in the perfect location. They provided robes, slippers, 2 bottled waters, clean towels daily. The bathroom has a bidet which is separate from the shower area. They also have a pot to heat water instantly and they provide coffee and camomile tea bags. There was a large desk area in this room and a large television. The location is right across the street from a large shopping mall that also has restaurants and walking distance to Musil (restaurants, cinema, shopping). They do have a pool and has pizza and beer every evening at rooftop bar. All your needs are very close to this hotel. The bus terminal is ~6 minutes walking distance and train is ~ 10 minute taxi ride. Approximately 2 miles is the outdoor market (food/shopping). Considerations: make sure to bring international chargers, translate app and if get Wow pass can top up with cash at 7/11 or CU. I did make several attempts to top up on Wow pass app with credit card and was having difficulty. The bus terminal and taxi’s accept international visa credit card. The bus terminal does not accept T card. I highly recommend this hotel. Thanks to the staff and cleanliness.
GGuest UserSuper nice sea view , room look exactly like the photo . Room with simple cooking equipment that u can cook ramen or little snack . Dryer , towel all those basic things are provided. But 2 things u have to take notes , this homestay type of property doest not have reception or person incharge at the area , even during check in , so make sure u contact with trip.com to get the check in information before u reach there , or else if u can speak korean or u will need to at-least have a number that can call Korean number to contact property management when u arrive and tell them u need check in , i think simple English like “check in “ they can understand. If u don’t have any number that can call or did not contact trip earlier on to get the information, u will be there and wait and u can’t check in smoothly for sure . Secondly this location is far from the city area (like ktx/ bus express terminal and anmok beach ) this location is only near to sundubu gelato by foot about 20min. My suggestion is if u wanna stay here , prepare food and drink and stay whole day just in room to enjoy the view of sea and nice room if u did not driving . Basically for the view and nice room , I will come back again .
AAThe service surpasses our expectations. The staff are polite, efficient, and always ready to help. Special credit goes to General Manager Hong who speaks good English and would always walk an extra mile to give us assistance.
The environment is commendable. The hotel is clean and comfortable with a chic design. The room is brightly lit and spacious. We appreciate the practical design, such as power points conveniently equipped right in front of the working table.
We like the cozy meeting area on G/F where we can gather for a chat and savor a cup of complimentary tea or coffee. Besides, we recommend the Italian restaurant, Brother & Brother, on the 9/F. The menu mainly offers pizza, pasta and risotto. Breakfast, which must be booked in advance, include orange juice, coffee, cereal and a sumptuous sandwich fully packed with healthful vegetables, egg, ham and cheese. Anyway, the food is delicious, sometimes with a Korean twist. It is good value for money. The restaurant also has a good view overlooking the mountains and the wind turbines from afar.
Overall, we are very satisfied with The HongC Hotel. The stay was pleasant and happy.
BB__WWe had previously stayed at this hotel and came back because we loved it. However, the style of room we booked earlier was unavailable, but the Junior Bella Suite looked inviting, so for more money than we previously spent, we booked it. Upon checking in, we were told that our family of four could not stay in the room we booked. After much back and forth, we had to pay more money to get extra bedding to bed someone on the floor for the night. The room we got was advertised on Trip as a king bed and a sofa bed, but Bella doesn't consider the sofa to be a bed, so they don't provide bedding for it. It seems there has been miscommunication between Bella and Trip, which is unfortunate. The hotel is a good one, and the room was clean, large, and well-stocked. It would have been a great experience had we felt welcome rather than confused and frustrated, with a bitter taste in our mouths. We would still stay here again, but next time, I will be extra careful, contact the hotel, and make sure a family of four can actual stay in the room as advertised.
Mmushroom055I chose this hotel because there is a washing machine in the room to do laundry. However after washing the clothes there was no way to properly dry the clothes. The hotel does not provide dryer. The only thing that the staff could do was to provide extra 5 hangers but there was no proper place to hang the clothes.
GGuest UserThe receptionist at check in and when I checked out (can’t believe I forgot to ask her name) is amazing! She’s eloquent in English and really helpful, helping me call a cab etc. The hotel has all the amenities needed and is very much like an apartment so there’s the kitchen sink, full fridge and freezer, kitchen stuff, cutleries and bowls, washing machine, paper cups, kettle etc. lots of space in the room too. Nice park near the hotel and lots of food option. Would stay here again if I come to Donghae.
Ssunbeam98It is in a great location, literally in front of the beach.
There is a self check-in available at the front desk, but for some reason it didn’t work so ended up talking to the reception staff anyway, which is okay.
While the main features of the room were clean (bedding, bathroom…), the air con unit was completely black with mould inside. Unfortunately I have some mould allergies, and so I had some reactions overnight.
The room also had some strange marks on the wall.. I think that the quality of the room looks better in the photos than the reality…
While I did book this place a little bit last minute (a few weeks in advance, but during peak time), it was overpriced for what it was (150,000₩ per night with a coupon).
It’s certainly not the worst place in the world, but I probably wouldn’t stay again if I had to choose.
