Top hotels in Seorak-dong
Kensington Hotel Seorak
Great breakfast buffet, closes hotel and walkable to the entry of the park, wonderful views with rooftop lounge. The hotel is very outdated though with a musky smell. I don't believe any of the furnishing have ever been updated. But we still enjoyed the hotel and would stay there again.

Seoraksan Park
The front desk staff was asleep when I arrived and told me I had no reservation. The property looks old and dirty. The refund was not easy.

Smile Resort
Mrs Kim was an amazing host with a beautiful smile. Rooms were clean and a good value for our budget. We didnt lack anything there. A good continental breakfast got us going in the morning and she helped us with finding places to visit. If we return we know where we are welcomed!
