Right next to Seoraksan park entrance
Ideal location to Seoraksan National Park, hotel is located just 200 meters from park entrance on a mountain slope. Great hospitality. The classic British decoration and Korean star attributes are a nice change from other hotels.

Wow, location cannot be bettered. So wonderful to wake up each morning to those views.
Paul, 3-night trip

This hotel is very old. The heating and AC units are not in good working condition, and the room entry door didn't lock automatically, unlike most other hotels. I noticed the door wasn't locked one day afternoon. However, the location is very good. I could go to popular hiking trails with easy walk.

Location is unbeatable for some local hiking trails. The room has a odor. The property is maintained as best they can given the age of the building.
Paul, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

eccellently located hotel directly at the entrance of the Seoraksan National Parc, starting point for your hiking trails, the cablecar and close to the Sinheungsa temple. If you like to be lodged in a “british style” hotel in South Korea and if you don’t mind that the hotel is quite outdated and urgently needs a renovation, then it’s your place to be. Staff is very friendly in any case

8/10 Very good

Perfect location within walking distance to Seoraksan National Park. Mountain view room was stunning. All staff were very friendly and spoke good english. Breakfast buffet each morning had a good selection of Western and Korean food options. The hotel had an onsite convenience store in the lobby, which provided ramen and other snacks. The room was a little bit dated but very clean and tidy and it is all just part of the charm of this lovely old hotel.

The faded glories of Britain
The hotel has a quirky British theme, with mahogany finish and regency style decoration in the western-style bedrooms. This makes them a bit gloomy for me. The carpets in the bedrooms were starting to look quite grubby, too. We really enjoyed the top notch breakfast.

은희, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

3/5 stars because it was everything we needed, but nothing more. The distance to the National Park was unbeatable, the staff were exceptionally kind, and the room was decently clean. That said, the property is extremely old, as others have said. There is a slight smell in the hallways, peeling wallpaper, stains, etc. Our "king bed" was really just 2 double mattresseses pushed together with a large sheet put over them, which made sleeping slightly uncomfortable. The convenience store on site mostly has "british" memorbilia and is unstaffed the majority of the time. For a single night, wanting to be in walking distance to the park, it was fine, but we wouldn't choose this again if we weren't going to the park.
Mariah, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The area surrounding the hotel is incredible. Hotel is so close to the park it was a great place to stay! That being said walking into the hotel is like walking back in time. Not a bad thing but some things are just a little run down. There was definitely a lot of water damage in the building and we had a significant amount of mold in our room
