All rooms are fitted with air conditioning, a fridge, a microwave, a coffee machine, a bidet, a hairdryer and a wardrobe. The rooms include a private bathroom and a shower, and some rooms at the hostel have a terrace. At Mr. Slow rooms come with bed linen and towels.

Beautiful view, very comfortable bed well equiped rooms with a cafe right below. Seems to only have 2 rooms available, we booked both and each has a totally different layout. Both rooms are lovely. No lift, and rooms are on level 3 and 4. It's okay if no old folks or huge luggages to carry. But would totally still recommend this place to stay, and if possible more than 1 night to enjoy the space.

Located in Sokcho, 1.9 km from Daepo Port, 블루 도어 호스텔 게스트하우스 features a rooftop. Free WiFi is offered throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

You can play table tennis at the hostel. Seorak Waterpia is under a 20-minute drive from 블루 도어 호스텔 게스트하우스, while Sokcho Beach is under a 20-minute walk away.

The accommodation looked exactly like the photos (dog included!). They provided all the basic necessities (e.g., toiletries and bottled water). In terms of location, the hostel was near the seaside and was around ~15 minutes by foot from the express bus terminal. Above all, however, the hosts were very kind and accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

    Very kind and friendly host who was very accommodating. Breakfast was simple and delicous: Toast, cereal, coffee. Room was clean and shower was hot. It is a great location next to Seoraksan National Park. The bus Stop Sokcho District C is right next to the hotel/hostel and about 15 min from the park entrance.

    A really clean and comfortable hostel, with well-thought through details. Bunk beds were large and spacious, so had a great nights sleep. Appreciated the curtains around the bed for privacy.

    The hosts were very welcoming and even helped plan my time in Sokcho. The hostel itself was very clean and offered everything I needed. It's in a great location for walks along the beach into the city or catching the bus to Seoraksan park if you're up for a hike with beautiful views.

    It was clean and comfortable. I didn't have too much expectation since I searched for a cheap accommodation asap one day before my departure and I knew how hostel staying is. After all I had a great experience there. I met incredible people in the dorm. The staff was super nice and friendly. Everything went smoothly. I liked the location because it's just 3 minutes walk from the express bus station. I also liked the tasty breakfast we got in the morning :) Completely recommended!

    Clean and comfortable. The hosts we're lovely and very helpful. Great location, about an hour walk to the entrance of the park or 10 min bus/taxi. The bus takes a while to get to sokcho but we got taxis that were cheap (about 18k won). There's a couple of shops and restaurants around but more variety in sokcho

    The location was great, right next to the Inter City Bus Terminal which is where i travelled in to. Also right in front there was the bus stop to Seoraksan national park. The hostel was very clean, modern and well kept. The owner was absolutely lovely, very helpful, and made everyone breakfast on the morning! The beds were very comfy and very sturdy for bunk beds, with curtains around thr outside, a light and a plug socket in each. The bathrooms were very clean with toiletries provided.
