Smile Resort

great value for money, really near national park, good bus service, large rooms, friendly owner, quiet as the village has fallen out of popularity. Village has good shop and great value restaurant

Location was perfect for hiking. Bed was comfy. The bus stop to the national park is just 3 min walk outside the hotel. I can’t comment on breakfast as it was from 7:30 am and I was up much earlier to start my hikes. I recommend this hotel for all the hikers.

Nothing negative about the property to say only that there are no grocery stores or restaurants in the area apart from fried chicken place and 8-eleven where you can only get ultra unhealthy snacks. So basically no food options in the neighbourhood.

- great location, just a few minutes walk from the bus stop and small shopping district w/ restaurants and convenience store; I only ate in 1 restaurant but there are a few others as well, just take note of the early closing times - room has enough space for my things and to move around; big windows - room has TV, small towels, body wash, shampoo, toothpaste, fridge, tissues, slipper - they have a free small breakfast which I did not avail so cannot comment; free ramyun station; microwave in common area; bottled waters in the room - host/owner was nice and smiley - location is a few minutes walk from the Seorak Skywalk

Friendly staff, cute dog on the property, close to Seoraksan (bus stop at 5 minutes from the park entrance), very comfy beds, spacious.

The property is rather old and not well maintained. It needs some renovation and deep-cleaning (like many things in this specific village/area surrounding the property).
