It was great, except that I ended up owing the hostel a mysterious 4,000 won by the end of my stay, and the staff wasn't able to explain why. I'm not sure where it came from, but clearly that's not a big deal; it was the only fly in the ointment.

At the foot of the mountains, low hills and plains meet the coast of the East Sea. Most of the area within the city limits of Sokcho is mountainous. The crowning glory of the area is Mt. Seoraksan (main peak: Daechoeonghong of 1,708 meters) with the ridgeline of the Taebaek Mountains.
In south of the city, branches of Mt. seoraksan - Dalmabong Peak(635m), Mt Jubongsan (338m), Mt Cheongdaesan(230m) form hilly areas, where the two rivers originating from Mt. Seorakan fiow into the city. At the mouths of these two rivers are the lagoons: Yeongnangho Lake and Cheongchoho Lake. These lagoons are of academic and scientific interest and boast uncommonly beautiful scenery. They are the major tourist attractions in Sokcho.

You could not find a better place to stay - anywhere!
Wonderful tasteful clean fun design, and the young English speaking Yoo bent over backwards to help far more than any I have met before. Perfect location, easy walk to everthing.. simply the best choice in Sokcho!

Wonderful stay!
I had chosen this hostel because of how beautiful it looked on the internet and the good reviews. Those reviews are true!
It is indeed value for money, with the little I paid for. Free breakfast of bread, coffee, cornflakes. Free laundry and drying, free internet access (wireless in lobby common area and wired in room with long lan cable), free bike rental, hairdryer, fridge, toileteries, etc...What else can one asks for?Mr Yoo, the manager, was a friendly and helpful guy. It was my very first trip to Korea and the first place I stayed. Felt like home away from home!

The owner is so a lovely person. The double-room in which we stayed was not the biggest but it was very cozy and clean. The rooms, the kitchen and everything else was made with love. There is a busstop just 1 minute away(Nr 7 and 7-1 costs 1000 won goes to the nationalpark within 30 minutes (every 10 minutes)
The hostel is really which I recommend.

Mr. Yoo was a very nice man who welcomed us to his House Hostel. ALthough our visit was very short, we enjoyed sokcho to the fullest. Mr.Yoo showed us a map of Sokcho and introduced to us popular tourist destinations and gave us detailed information(buses and fares...).
A proper map to the house hostel is necessary before going. Google maps didn't cut it. It would have been helpful for us if it was provided as we were lost for hours dragging our luggage trying to find it. Even taxi drivers didn't know where it was and wouldn't drive us. Thankfully for the huge billboard we found House Hostel.
Our room (4 bed private ensuite) consisted of a large bathroom (includes a tub, a toilet and a sink), 2 sets of wooden bunk beds, computer, fan, a/c (right over the bunk bed...made it uncomfortable). Theres no elevator, but they would help bring your luggage to your room.
The kitchen on the main floor is shared by everyone. It also acts as a comunal space and lounge. Free breakfast every morning (coffee,toast,cereal). It also is a internet cafe. It is a comfortable and beautiful space...decorated with Yoo's artwork. We also met a few other travellers who were nice to talk to. We even hiked together at Mt.Seorak.
The House Hostel is a definite place to stay if you want to visit Sokcho, or specifically because of Mr.Yoo's hospitality! I will be sure to visit again when I get another chance to travel.
We (My wife and I) are very impress with the cleaniness of the house, room and especially how the owner decorate the house, very details and piece of art. Yu and his mother is very freindly and helpful... Free breakfast.. free internet... free tips from yu, free DVD player w DVDs, and smooth bed/ pillow. My most unforgetable moment was Yu keep waving to us as if we are one of his sibling/ kins, really touching and very good feeling. All the pictures in the internet are true. The best guest house stayed in Seoul Korea (but take note that it is 3 hours from Seoul. And please do not take Express Bus Terminal, it is totally different with Bus Terminal... if you ended at Socho beach... you already lost and please ask for direction... Recomended this guest house to all!!
