Seorak HOT Spring Mammoth Resotel

Grande chambre Tres propre

Correct.

Disappointed that the Hot Spring water refers to the shower and not an actual hot spring

The location is very good, away from the big cities

Just 3km to Seoraksan national park, quite convenient. Clean. Hot and cold water dispersal. Value for money.

Need to wait 5 mins for the hot water

The room and the location.

The kitchen was dirty and the breakfast was terrible.

Great price and value.

AC was not functioning properly

온수가 너무 늦게나오고 미지근해서 불편함..

친절한 직원분 과 온천

시설이 너무 오래 되었는데 보수 필요.

무료조식이 좋았어요 간단한 샌드위치 시리얼 컵라면 먹을수있음

매트리스가 안좋음 스프링 다 느껴짐

Great breakfast. First time we've used self preparation of breakfast. Very good location.

Best times of the hotel are over. The same applies to neighborhood. But the room is clean and OK.

Zimmergröße, Bus zum Nationalpark schnell erreichbar (hätte man aber auch von Sokcho aus nehmen können)

Wir mögen Hunde, aber dass der Hund auf dem Grundstück ständig gebellt hat und so bedrohlich präsent war geht gar nicht! Es war lediglich zum Check-in ein Angestellter vor Ort, sonst offensichtlich nie. Allgemein sehr lieblos, unaufgeräumt, hellhörig und provisorisch. Außenwirkung und Serviceorientierung scheinen komplett egal zu sein. Lost-Place-Feeling (zerfallene Gebäude in Umgebung)

Close to the park and to several restaurants. We could check in early and on the day of check out we could leave our bags behind for one final walk in the national park.

The room is very big and comfortable. For people going to the mountains the location is perfect.

The area is a bit abandoned and there are not anymore so many restaurants around like in the past.

Had a wonderful stay here. Perfect location for catching the 7 or 7-1 bus up to Seoraksan national park for hiking. I stayed for two nights and was able to hike to Ulsanbawi rock, Biryong falls and Towangseong falls observatory. The room was large, with a sofa, kettle, vanity and sink area. The bathroom was clean and had great water pressure. The breakfast was okay, I had cereal and eggs on toast, but there were also some cold meats available. A few restaurants nearby, but they closed up fairly early as it was quiet (unfortunately very rainy during my stay but this mean for less busy hikes!). Great value for money.

The signs clearly state the shower takes 5 minutes to warm up the hot water as it comes from a natural hot spring. It really did take at least five minutes, but was nice once it got going. The signs do say this, but I was a bit impatient the first day!

Great location for Seoroksan national park. Great breakfast, clean rooms, friendly staff, we will definitely be back.

Rooms are HUGE! Clean, comfortable, and secure. Hot water is not super hot, but the water pressure is good. Facilities also offer free washer and dryer (huge plus for after a day of hiking). Free DIY breakfast with bread, ham, cheese, eggs, and cereal. The staff don't speak English but do their best to communicate through translation apps. There is also a self check-in option for after hours. The building/street looks kind of abandoned on the outside, but don't worry, it's just a sleepy town. This place is perfect if you want an early start or late end to the national park as it's only a short 11-minute bus ride to the entrance.

No complaints about the hotel, just a note to fellow Travelers about the location. This is a very small and sleepy town. It's good if you want fast entry into the park, but be warned that there is nothing to do here other than hike, and there are about 5 food options. If you want something more lively with options after your hike, stay in Sokcho, which is at least 25-30 min bus from the park entrance.

깨끗하고 친절햇어요 샤워할때 온천수라서 물이 좋아서 기분좋았습니다 다음에도 다시올생각입니다

주변에 영업안하는곳도 있어서 주변환경은 좀아쉬엇어요

Aardige mensen. Drankjes en ijsjes inclusief.

Eigenlijk meer en jeugdherberg. Er was een groep met kinderen op kamp. Die waren redelijk luidruchtig. Verlichting was slecht, 1 tl verlichting.

Ok location 5 min walk from bus Free coffee (no noodles)Staff difficult to find (but helpful when found)

Market only had limited(noodles) food Most restaurants closed better to go to 7-11near park entrance

The bathtub and hot blanket on the bed were something we LOVED! Having coffee and breakfast included was also a big plus. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The location was great, 2 minute walk to a bus (for the national park) and a few minutes walk from a few restaurant options. WiFi worked well.

Staff was NEVER present. Isn’t a hotel supposed to be hospitality? The breakfast options could definitely be improved. Only cereal, eggs (that you make yourself) and toast. The communal areas (such as lobby) were very worn and not taken care of. Random items lying around. Could use some love and care from staff…

The room was spacious, warm and comfortable. Good location to visit the park. It was very quiet out of season but we still found enough places to eat in the parade of the main road. Handy to have breakfast before the walks. Nobody in reception most of the time so not great if you need any info.

Very close to seorak NP Breakfast and tee , fruit tee, coffee free Clean Upper floor more modernized Beutiful walkway over the river

Very long wait to hot water, Not comfy beds, hard matrrass Ghost town with ruined buildings but few restaurants open

Nice location, decent room. Free breakfast was appreciated.

Staff were hardly present during our stay.

It seemed unassuming because of the location but the room was so clean and organized. The breakfast had great options and the staff was SO nice. It was right around the corner from the national park without having to deal with all the tourist crowds. The bed was comfortable. The space was huge and the bathroom was clean!!

- close to the National Park - spacious room - cheap

- room didn’t feel clean, lots of hairs everywhere - run down, creepy building in a deserted hotel town - we only saw a receptionist once, when we checked-in, and he barely spoke any English

The food included and location.

Dead bugs on the wall

Great place, fantastic ambience

laundry service room was big

The property is located in a ghost town. The room reeked of cigarettes. After two nights there, the stench was saturated in my clothes. Not so close to the nature park. Better option is to book the hotel in Sokcho, and reach Seorak by bus or taxi or rent a car.

The location was convenient, close to the bus and only 15 minutes by public transportation from the entrance of Seoraksan National Park. The buses run regularly there. The room is exactly as described. Everything is provided, and it is very, very clean. The staff is super helpful. Very good value for money.

Nice bonus was a self - served breakfast. The variety is limited, but good enough to start your day. Coffee machine 24/7 was very nice bonus as well.

Some of signs weren't translated to English, so we had to figure it out ourselves. For example, how to separate trash, etc.

Room was updated and very clean and comfortable. A/C worked great (we were there in August and it was hot). Very close to Seoraksan national park; you can walk the 2 miles to the entrance if you don't care to wait for the bus. It's also easy to catch the bus as it picks up just a block or two away from the hotel. The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful despite the language barrier.

Note that the English name on the sign doesn't exactly match the name on the Booking.com page, but the street number matches. The common areas of the hotel are not as up to date as the rooms, which was fine for us but may not be the vibe you expect from the photos. The town around the hotel is quite run down with many abandoned buildings and there are not a lot of nearby shops and restaurants. However, we took the very fancy pedestrian walkway to the local GS25 convenience store which was great and had everything we needed.

Being close to the national park and minutes walking from some good local restaurants.

Room did not have a chair. It did not have a bed as I bookes for but a fouton. That was fine with me but wasn't what I expected. I could not find the breakfast room and by the time I left in the morning there was noone to ask.

Room was absolutely lovely. Staff was polite and friendly. Free coffee and instant noodles for guests. Wish i could stay longer! Location was super convenient for the bus to seoraksan.

It was tough for elderly person with bad knees to go up the stairs.

The Room's are big, but a little bit old. Unfortunately the whole area looks a bit run down. I don't know why, becaus the location is just perfect for hiking in the Seorak Nationalpark. There are a few Shops and Restaurants, so you can get everything you need.

The Breakfast was included but not really worth it. The "Gym" is located directly in the Lobby.

Very friendly owner. You have to use the translator but nevermind. A HUGE room. It's about 3 stops from the NP.

Communication before arrival was a bit difficult. They could not tell me the name of the bus stop. It's called something like "Shopping district". (A couple of kiosks and restaurants, I didn't need more).

Everything was good except the hot water

The hot water stream was very weak, there was almost none

The room was large and comfortable. The location is great. The room I stayed in had heated floors and bed! Breakfast was also good. There are some nice touches like a water cooler on my level and ample towels in the room.

I think some warmer, soft lighting like a lamp in the room would be good. The hot water takes quite some time to heat up but will get there eventually.

Spotless rooms for a very good price. Free shampoo, noodles, breakfast and coffee. The area is a bit run down with lots of empty hotels, no clue why, but that doesn’t make it feel unsafe. The owners great and does his best to make you feel comfortable. There’s a direct bus going to the park. We chose to walk back from the park which took 40min. You can also stay in Sokcho, but we liked the calm vibe outside of the chaotic city and close to the park.

The village doesn’t have many food options, but there are some and alternatively the owner offers free noodles.

Rooms are spacious and clean, but there are no chairs. Free ramen and local softdrinks are provided, nice breakfast.

Seorak is a ghost-town, consisting of mainly derelict buildings. You have to take a taxi or bus to the park, so you might as well stay in Sokcho, especially if you want to eat something else than fried chicken after 8.00 pm. Also, there are no hot springs nearby.

Spotlessly clean, quiet, ondol heating, wide rooms, good location for the National Park.

The whole place was so clean and comfortable. It is so close to the bus station - and it takes 7 mins to the Seoraksan national park. Plus, they're very kind to provide laundry service and free coffee/tea. We enjoyed our stay a lot!

Everything

Nothing

Confortable,clean and huge room, location is good 5 min by bus (or 40min walking) to the national park

The hot water for the shower takes a very long time to come There aren't a lot of restaurants around but they give instant noodles for free The staff doen't speak english at all There is no hot spring

Nice staff and room. Very close to Seoroaksan Park entrance.

Great hotel, rooms (korean style) very big, warm and comfortable, with a large bathroom and a mini kitchen. Staff is excellent, very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was great, too, enough food and enough variety. Loved it!

The hotel will soon need some modernization and the area is unfortunately a little downgraded (full of decadent hotels and touristic structures that evidently degraded because of a low touristic flow). It is quite close to the Seoraksan N.P. (15min walking to the entrance), but not close enough in the evening, when you are dead tired after a day of trekking. Luckily there is a bus that drives from the entrance (in 5min you are at the hotel).

Comfortable hotel room close to the Seoraksan park entrance. The room is simple but they offer amenities like soap, tooth brushes, towels etc. There are also complementary cup noodles and sodas. The owners are so lovely, they let us store our luggage while we went for a hike, and then offered to drive us back to the city afterwards!

It's perfect if you want to go to Seoraksan, but if you want to enjoy the city it's perhaps a bit remote

This is a fabulous hotel. The staff were wonderful and the room was huge with comfortable beds. The coffee, free snacks/drinks and great breakfast is a big bonus. It was great value for money and is a short walk to the national park. It was by far the best hotel we stayed in during our time in South Korea!

the staff were the nicest people ever. so helpful and went out of their way to help us.

There were some people above us who were screaming alarmingly at 4AM. but not the venue's fault.

Perfect location to go for a hike at Seorak mountain. The hostel had a very nice and friendly atmosphere. They provide with snack and coffee at all times which was very pleasant. Nice simple breakfast was also very nice. The room was comfy and everything was smooth and non-problematic. Would def go again next time we are there.

.

Spacious clean room. Simple breakfast provided.

Staff didn’t speak English. Desolate neighborhood, consider to stay in Sokcho as bus connections are excellent.

We skipped breakfast, unfortunately.

The hallway wallpaper is very lumpy, but this did not affect our comfort.

Location, comfort, room size, breakfast, coffee, amazingly friendly owner. Really great value and very very comfortable accommodation with surprisingly great size room. Did not use kitchen, not other amenities like gym, laundry etc but available. About 30 mins from seoraksan NP. Would recommend ana stay again

All was well

Pretty close to the Seoraksan mountains which was definitely the highlight. Free drinks in the lobby which was convenient. Room was big and you could watch YouTube and Netflix on the tv.

Beds were very hard so I had to layer the blankets up underneath me to cushion from it. There were some mosquitos but they didn’t last long after I declared chemical warefare with the bug spray. No Hot spring as mentioned in the name but I probably could’ve figured that out with some research

Service was great! lady went the extra mile to do laundry for us, folding and putting back in our room. Room is rather spacious, and simple breakfast and refreshment provided.

The location is not that great. This area is pretty much a dead town, there's not many food in the area, and not many other accommodation. Walking to entrance of seoraksan takes at least 40 min.

The host is nice and kind, which helps us a lot no matter what. I really have a good rest here.

No

The rooms were clean and modern. Free drinks and instant noodles all day were a bonus. Breakfast provided good options.

The location of the property was in a ghost town. No one around when we arrived and had to wait an hour to check in

Very friendly host, communication via translation app worked quite well, free laundry, good location when you want to go hiking in Seoraksan Park. Simple, but good breakfast.

Many guesthouses in the area are closed and are falling apart, so do not expect to arrive in a cute village.

Good location, very kind receptionist (even though she didn't speak English, she was very helpful, we solved everything through Google translator). Perfect free self-service breakfast!

Although there were nets in windows, there were a lot of mosquitoes every night.

Stuff gives us the gifts for hiking. Then helps us with transfer and local navigation. Also instant noodle and some beverages make us happy.

The shower was pretty minimal :)

1. Spacious, clean, comfortable facilities and room. 2. Helpful and friendly staff. 3. Freeflow complimentary instant noodles and packet drinks. 4. Free car parking 5. Small gym to exercise.

1. No elevator to bring heavy bulky luggages to higher floors. Luckily, friendly staff helped to carry them up. 2. Window has no curtain to block summer day light starting at 5 o'clock in the morning.

Pension de famille, confortable chambre tres spacieuse. Nous avons passez 2 nuits pour profiter de faire des randonnée. il y a que le nom de ressort. Le quartier autour est d une désolation total. Touts est en friche c est bien domage .

We enjoyed our stay very much!

Ok hotel but don't expect it as on the pictures.

This is quite old hotel. Mold on the windows, damaged wall covers. In the evening the water was barely warm. You can cook on camping stove in your room, and this is weird and unsafe. Strong smell of chlorine was in the room when we arrived. The wifi was weak and unstable.

We really enjoy the staying in the place. clean place , really nice hosting. free noodles and coffee. free laundry . recommended!!!

The property is very clean, albeit in a quite part where there are lots of old buildings due to a massive influx of tourism that then reduced so lots of empty places. however this place is great! comfy beds, clean. free noodles, coffee, soft drinks. free laundry service. the owners don’t speak English but will easily translate via google and be sure helpful. they bought us beer at the chicken shop and drove into town to give us information leaflets! Wi-Fi is good and easily accessible to the park via walk (30-45 mins) or bus. would definitely recommend and stay again.

only issue is the shower takes about 5-10 minutes to warm up. so run it before you get in otherwise will be a long wait!

Great and comfortable place near Seoraksan NP.

All. from nice comfy bad to stuff

The Resotel is much closer to Seoraksan National Park than the description has suggested. It is still a 45-minute-walk, but it is worth due to the beautiful first view of Seoraksan. Also, there is a direct bus from Sokcho, which also can take you to the National Park. My room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff could not speak English, but they made a huge effort to communicate with me.

The kindest owners ever. - We arrived at the wrong hotel 1km away and he picked us up for free. - I asked the lady for a yoga mat, she found one and lended it to me for the entire stay. - She's also doing laundry for free. - We had a minor water issue after 2-3 days so they gave us another room immediatly and made us a discount at the end without I even ask for it. - Whenever I had a question about anything like the bus timeable for exemple he would take time to respond using google translate. - Everything in the room is clean, confortable and the location is great you can walk to the entry of Seoraksan park in about 30-40min. You also have a bunch of restaurant on the main street like 2min walk from your room. - Plus there is free drinks and food in the entrance, such as ramen, biscuits, coffee, tea, fruits juice... Amazing services !

I was not using the address but just the name Mammoth on google maps (koreans dont really use google maps but rather Naver map) and that's why we ended up 1km away so that's my bad. Maybe they should just try to add Mammoth Resotel on google maps for the next lazy customer like me. Nothing else to say it was great.

very clean and everything we need is there. nearby to Seoraksan National Park (cable car).

Staff was very friendly and helpful. We were allowed to store luggage for a night while we went on a two day hike. Location is very nice if you want to go hiking in Seoraksan park. Laundry options available and the room was spacious.

First night we slept badly because of the barking dog belonging to the hotel owner. The musquito net in front of the window was also broken so they were swarming across our room. When we requested a different room for the second night this was no problem. Reception was often unattended (which happens a lot in Korea).
