Sunrise Hotel Sungsan

Staff was very helpful - recommended places to eat and relevant info on Sunrise Peak. Very near to Ilchubong Tuff Cone (Sunrise Peak)- just 5 minutes drive away.

Great location in the small town of Seongsan. Rooms have great views of either the volcano or the lake opposite. Can't really fault the hotel very much for the price paid. Everything was functional, rooms were clean and spacious. Rooms were a little sparse though, given the large size of the rooms, the tiny table and chair provided looked tiny in the space provided. Breakfast was ok and there was ample free self-parking. I was fortunate that my wife speaks Korean because I don't think any of the staff speak any English at all, but it's always possible to get by with a translator app. Last thing, they don't use keys or swipe cards here to enter your rooms. They use a pin code access panel on your room door (akin to typical Korean homes). The check-in staff will give you a little receipt that has your room number and 4-digit pin code on it and lot of Korean text. It's fairly straightforward to operate, but not something I expected as this is pretty uncommon in most Western countries.

We stayed here to catch the sunrise at Seongsan Iichubong. The hotel is very basic and room was sparse. The bath and toilet are not segregated meaning the whole place gets wet after a shower. There are two EV charging points which is a nice touch.
