This is what you hope for when you book a hostel. Clean, easy to find, centrally located, and best of all, the owners go above and beyond to help you with anything you need. After a short 5 minute walk from the bus station, we checked in and the owner sat us down with a map. He spent 20 minutes... More

I've just stayed in Sokcho for 3 nights - Seoraksan N.P. is the place to visit in South Korea and The House Hostel is (without a doubt) the place to stay at. Mr Yoo and all girls at the reception are most helpful and smiling all the time. Just ask them what you need / require and they will guide... More

I've been a fan of Korean houses, and I'm really glad I've stayed in this hostel! The place is really cute and cool that you'd really want to spend time just sitting around, reading a good book while having free coffee. At a little less than USD15, you get free daily breakfast, and a good room. We stayed in winter... More

The best place to stay in Sokcho and great as a base to explore Seoraksan. The moment we reached, Mr Yoo opened up a Sokcho map and showed us the A-Z of exploring Seoraksan and Sokcho, marking down all the important spots, the dos and don'ts and the places where we can get good food, and made us regret that...

I think of the reasons for my great stay there was the hospitality from the owner. I was given lots of guidance upon arrival. And they even took my luggage to my room. They were very accomodating to my somewhat complicated plan to stay (I left for other cities in between with different group sizes at times). Mrs. Yoo even... More

We stayed here in Oct and loved the convenient location. You can take a short-cut from the Sokcho intercity bus terminal (not to be mistaken with the Express bus terminal) to the House Hostel. Upon arrival at the Sokcho intercity bus terminal, go right and walk downhill towards the sea direction. At the first traffic junction, cross the road and... More

We stayed there for a week-end trip in Sokcho and its area and this hostel turned out to be one of the best I've never stayed in. The owners are amazingly kind and willing to help you in any way they can. They will recommend to you good restaurants and places to visit. The rooms are comfortable, clean, with their... More

as all the reviews have said, Mr Yoo is very patient and introduces every guest to transpo, places to go, to eat in Sokcho city. Rooms are big and the staff are friendly. You can walk to the market for a look or go to the port for a glimpse on the daily catch. You can use the kitchen until... More

This hostel is a gem. We came here excited to do our hike but wasn't sure how to get to the base. Mr Yoo is so patient and helpful in explaning the directions and instructions of what the best way is to get there. The hostel is very clean and rooms are big. The kitchen is so well taken care... More
