Facility is quite old but it seems its maintenance is OK. I do not know this "Kensington" brand has something related to UK brand. Location is perfect if you focus on Seorak national mountain hike (of course it is close to beach resort). Not so much facility inside but breakfast food is excellent (variety and quality) - normally presented in free.

My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel had the spacious and luxurious atmosphere. Staff were kind and room was clean, pleasant and had a beautiful Mountain view. Breakfast buffet selections were very nice and the dining room and the cafe at 9th floor also had a great view. The restaurant for dinner was a bit fancy, but also offer take-out chicken you can eat in your room. There are stores and restaurant near by if needed. The best part of the hotel was that you can walk to the park entrance and start hiking to the Seoraksan National Park right away.

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.

Convenient location 5 minute walk to Seoraksan Park entrance. Bus stop to Sokcho right in front of hotel. Warm room and they upgraded to room with two double beds with mountain view, much appreciated. However, room service non-existent. Neither of the 2 hotel restaurants were open for dinner. We ordered dinner but food was terrible and we had to go down and pick it up from front desk. Front desk staff not always at front desk and often didn’t answer phone. No coffee or tea in rooms. Dated decor is fine but problem is hotel needs upkeeping— in front of our room was water stains on walls and peeling wallpaper. No gym or pool on premises. Despite all of above, price reasonable and would stay here again due to convenience to park entrance.

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.

일단 방에서 보는 설악산뷰가 너무 예쁩니다. 주차장 바로옆이 설악산 입구주차장이라 더 좋았구요. 저번에 속초왔을 때 바다전망에 숙소를 잡았다가 켄싱턴설악 꼭대기 카페가 너무 좋길래 이번에 여기로 왔어요. 어제 켄싱턴 고성 설악밸리에도 갔었는데 여기는 더 좋네요. 직원분이 정말 친절해서 여기는 후기를 쓰고싶어요. 내일 아침조식도 기대됩니다. 아침에 일어나서 창문을 열면 설악산의 맑은 공기를 마실 수 있겠지요. 시설은 좀 오래됐지만 내부를 참 잘 꾸며놔서 예전 묵었던 바닷가 5성보다 여기 만족도가 높습니다. 침구도 깨끗하고 푹신해요.(투숙객 주차비가 없는데 3만원 냈다는 분은 무슨 일인지 모르겠어요...)

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.
