We loved our stay at Smiley Resort! We did a girls road trip through South Korea and wanted to see Seoraksan. This place was in a great location for seeing the mountain. It was possible to walk to the national park from the hotel, but the bus stop is right down the street. The owners were so incredibly friendly and welcoming! Immediately we felt at home! I want to come back to Seoraksan to explore more of the hiking trails and would love to come back to Smiley Resort! We wish we could’ve stayed here longer! Everyone was so kind and sweet!

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!

I had a great stay here during my trip to Seoraksan National Park. The hosts were so warm and friendly. I was able to do a load of laundry (for a small extra charge) and while I was waiting in the lobby for the wash cycle to finish, the host gave me some mugwort rice cakes to try.

The owner was extremely kind and helpful. We met friendly travelers from around the world. It was a clean and wonderful place to stay! We would return. So close to Seoraksan mountain and to the coastal city of Sokcho.

After a hectic week in Seoul, this was a great place to relax and unwind. I was immediately greated and felt welcomed by the owner. The rooms are basic but comfortable. There is a light breakfast supplied. The bus is a 5 minute walk (#7 and 7-1) and for those who like walking/hiking, Seoraksan National Park is an easy hour away (by foot) as well as many other trails around this beautiful area. This place is a hidden gem.

Nice environmental place. Building is old but room was ok. The bad thing is bed was hard,not comfortable. But i can't complaint more cause i got what i paid for. It was incredibly cheap.around 30 dollars a day. I must say that the place where the hotel located is the best place in seulaksan mountain area to enjoy and healing. The owner was nice and helpful too.

A bus stop is very nearby making trips to the mountain and beaches very convenient. The owner and staff were super nice. I was able to borrow a hiking pole and received helpful guidance on a hiking route. It was a very comfortable stay.

Unfortunately, all surrounding is in bad state, most of hotels and services are bankrupted and many of them already getting destroyed, all surrounding is like a ghost town. But that is what Smile Resort owner can not impact. All what she can do she does very well, accommodation is nice, good managed, very hostile owner.
