James Blue Guesthouse

Basic accommodations for a family of 4

Our room had 4 bunk beds and a queen sized bed. They don't want you eating in your room but there is a kitchen with seating on the first floor. In the morning there is bad coffee, juice, cereal and toast. This was nice as most eating establishments are not open before 10. The hostel was conveniently located near to the Jungang market and to the 7 bus to Seoraksan. The 7 and 9 bus were convenient to many further tourist attractions. We also easily walked to Abai village and Yeonggungjeom Pavilion.

A good choice of stay at Sokcho

Room is clean with limited furniture. The location of the accommodation is quite alright. Major tourist sites are within walking distance. Close to city bus stop with 3-min walk only. Easy access to bus for seoraksan national park. The short cut to Inter City Bus Terminal takes no more than 10 minutes. If time is right you may enjoy the sunrise from the rooftop terrace.

James Blue, Sokcho Guest House, Comfortable, Satisfied

A guest house close to Sokcho Dongmyeonghang/Geumgang Bridge. For breakfast, toast/strawberry jam/cornflakes/milk/tangerine juice/coffee are provided. It is quite satisfactory considering the price, and I would like to come back again because it was so nice. The owner was very kind, even though I didn't see him much.

Reasonable, clean, and good service hotel

Reasonable with breakfast (coffee, toast, and cereal) included. It is less than a 10-minute walk from the intercity bus terminal and has a great location in front of the harbor with a view of the sea.

James was so nice and helpful! The staff was really the highlight of this very good guesthouse. Thank you for everything :)

Good location

Very good.

More than correct for the price. James was very friendly when I arrived.

Very good welcome by James with information on things to do. Clean room and very good value for money. Small downside - window facing a wall and noisy sink drain. Good location for visiting with bus stops very close. Good guesthouse.

Located remotely. No public transportation near the hotel. No convenience store nor restaurants nearby. We arrived around four in the afternoon and found the restaurant in the hotel closed. There is not even a vending machine. We ended up fasting for the day.

Honest accommodation review

Other than good beds and water pressure, it's not recommended. It might be more honest to say that the European-style breakfast consists of just two toasts and cereals. The dining area was unclean, most chairs and tables were wobbly, and you need to bring your own personal cutlery set, plates, and bowls. If you're uncomfortable sharing with others, it's a problem. If you need conditioner and only shampoo and body cleanser are provided, you should bring your own. If you want housekeeping every day, you need to mention it to the owner. Otherwise, it's skipped. Overall disappointed, reviews, photos, and information seem quite different from reality.
