The Red House

Great location, bus stop within two minute walk that takes you directly to national park, bus station to get the bus to Busan, express stop back to Seoul, or into city/ fish market etc. Staff exceptional, very helpful , kind, accomodating, went above and beyond.

Nothing!

Clean bathroom, fridge in the room, homey dining area. I had a four person dorm and lucked out so I had the room to myself for all two nights I stayed. Staff were wonderful and kind.

Definitely older vibe and build so something felt less clean or more breakable.

The location of the hotel is incredible. It is inside Seoraksan national park, while taking a shower you can see the mountains covered in Korean red pines. It is close to a bus stop where you can catch a bus that brings you in 2 minutes at the start of all the hiking paths. The staff was so incredibly friendly and helpful. Room was nice. Great value for money!

Good location for park, but you still have to get the bus there, or its a 25 minute walk.

No idea why it got such good ratings, it's tired, dated, the hall and lounge area smell, the air-conditioning was very noisy, it doesn't have 'mountain views' the window is behind a cupboard thing and the windows frosted so you can't see out anyway. The bed is hard with a weird bottom sheet, and all the towels are tiny. I really thought about abandoning my second night there, but after a tough walk in the park, I didn't have the energy to move. Breakfast very ordinary. The area it is located is like an abandoned town, I felt very uncomfortable there. The owners try, but they speak no english so everything is done using google translate. I really didn't
