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!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Self check-in was easy to use, different languages to choose from. Lovely view of Sockcho beach. Although the room is compact it has lots of storage, great facilities, a well-equipped kitchen, dining table and chairs, washing machine, excellent bathroom with a good shower and a comfortable bed. Great location, close to beach and express bus terminal to visit Seoraksan National Park. Highly recommend this hotel. Exceptional value.

    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.

    Loved it! Hotel is right at the Sokcho beach and I had a view of the Sokcho Eye. Plenty of facilities at the property and in the area. Very clean and nice hotel staff, room was spacious with a washing machine and a massive fridge/freezer, it felt like my own studio. I also had a balcony which I didn't expect! As a solo traveller, I felt very safe and definitely will stay again next time I come to Sokcho.

    Really comfortable, more spacious than lots of hostels in Korea. Very clean, well maintained. The staff is really nice, starting with James himself, who speaks good english. We had no trouble communicating, getting recommendations. Great wifi as well.
