Unique and different from other hotels, it’s very old and need serious remodeling. Very small bathroom (reminds me of place in London) located right next to entrance of Sarak national park. Food is overpriced and nasty, no room service (order food u have to go pay and pick up yourself?) I won’t recommend, there are plenty of other hotels nearby and cheaper.

Avoid this dump at all costs.

Absolutely disgusting hotel. How on earth earth this place won any awards recently blows my mind. Or gets good reviews. I feel scammed by the reviews. The floors are uneven, notes on the bed telling you expect bugs from the outside and mold growing on walls everywhere. Everything smells musty and gross. Floor tacky. Our whole family were glad it was just one night. Breakfast is overpriced for what they offer. The trying to be british is a joke (I’m a brit). Sorry but this place needs demolishing. Its in a prime spot and thats the only thing going for it. The hotels in town look even worse from the outside. I’m baffled! How can such a popular national park area not have accommodations that are invested in? Do hikers not care about their health while asleep?!?! We only ended up here because I couldn’t get 2 nights I wanted in Sokcho. Stay in Sokcho and drive. Its like 15 min drive. Kensington is so gross,now every nasty thing my kids see is called “the Kensington” lol.

굿.

호텔에 있어도 창문 밖 풍경이 설악산이고 조금만 걸어 가면 설악산 산책도 하고 케이블카 타고 올라갈 수도 있어 정원을 설악산으로 둔 듯 해요. 룸도 깨끗하고 넓어서 다음에는 1박 말고 좀 더 길게 쉬고 오고 싶어요.

설악산 국립공원 바로 앞에 위치한 호텔입니다. 일단 설악산 방문하기에 최적의 위치입니다! 내부 시설은 호텔이 오래된 만큼 연식이 느껴지지만 잘 관리되고 있다는 느낌을 받았습니다 ㅎㅎ 그리고 무엇보다 직원분들이 너무너무 친절해요!!! 조식도 기대 이상이었습니다. 설악산 근처 여행가실 분들은 추천드려요~
