Staff was excellent, always going above and beyond to provide excellent service. As one example, on check-in the staff offered us a free upgrade to an available room that had more ammenities than the one we had booked.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel had the spacious and luxurious atmosphere. Staff were kind and room was clean, pleasant and had a beautiful Mountain view. Breakfast buffet selections were very nice and the dining room and the cafe at 9th floor also had a great view. The restaurant for dinner was a bit fancy, but also offer take-out chicken you can eat in your room. There are stores and restaurant near by if needed. The best part of the hotel was that you can walk to the park entrance and start hiking to the Seoraksan National Park right away.

Unique and different from other hotels, itโ€™s very old and need serious remodeling. Very small bathroom (reminds me of place in London) located right next to entrance of Sarak national park. Food is overpriced and nasty, no room service (order food u have to go pay and pick up yourself?) I wonโ€™t recommend, there are plenty of other hotels nearby and cheaper.

Avoid this dump at all costs.

Absolutely disgusting hotel. How on earth earth this place won any awards recently blows my mind. Or gets good reviews. I feel scammed by the reviews. The floors are uneven, notes on the bed telling you expect bugs from the outside and mold growing on walls everywhere. Everything smells musty and gross. Floor tacky. Our whole family were glad it was just one night. Breakfast is overpriced for what they offer. The trying to be british is a joke (Iโ€™m a brit). Sorry but this place needs demolishing. Its in a prime spot and thats the only thing going for it. The hotels in town look even worse from the outside. Iโ€™m baffled! How can such a popular national park area not have accommodations that are invested in? Do hikers not care about their health while asleep?!?! We only ended up here because I couldnโ€™t get 2 nights I wanted in Sokcho. Stay in Sokcho and drive. Its like 15 min drive. Kensington is so gross,now every nasty thing my kids see is called โ€œthe Kensingtonโ€ lol.
