Great english buffet breakfast. Amazing location just beside the national park for morning hikes. Great service by staff whom all communicate in good English and Mandarin. The hotel itself has floors that showcase collections by singers, actors and athletes.

The hotel is located right outside of the Seorak mountain. Great location!!! The staffs are very helpful and friendly. We got there early and they let us checked in early. The hotel is decorated with old english style and it shows the age throughout the room. The carpet can be replaced and some other things in the room. Our room had a very nice view of the mountain. Overall it was a very convenient and a nice stay. If you want to go Seorak mountain for an easy access, i would definitely recommend it.

Was really looking forward to my stay at the Kensington Hotel Seorak. But when I pay $263AU / night I have a certain expectation that a 4 star hotel will live up to the hype. The service at the check-in desk and in the restaurant was excellent. The hotel itself exudes 'history' and it was interesting spending time looking at the library, hallways and various displays on offer. The menus were adequate for our stay and we spent 29000KRW on the chicken and beer offer on the first night and the steak and wine (120000KRW) on the second night. Breakfasts were 29000KRW/pp or 10% off if you book at check-in were also value for money. However several aspects let the hotel down. Hot water was hard to get - I tried for an afternoon shower and again at midnight with no luck. Larger hotels in Korea tend to have central control over the air conditioning, so if you like a cool room you'll be out of luck by October?? Even having the small window open, and turning of the 'air conditioning, the room was stuffy. Having found a laundry bag and order form I was told that the hotel no longer offered that service. Disappointing. The towels were worn / frayed on the edges (they've passed their useabe date) and though the hotel room we were in had a great view the windows were so grubby it was hard to really enjoy the view. While I appreciate COVID has had an impact on the hotel industry generally, I'm pretty certain that the Kensington, with its views and proximity to Seoraksan, faired better than most. While I would stay here again I would like to think that for prime pricing the Kensington could up its game and ensure that such small issues were addressed.

Location of the hotel is perfect for hikers like us to walk to the entrance of the Seoraksan Mountain National Park (usually there will be a couple of kilometers queue of cars waiting for parking at the National Park’s parking lot). Staff were nice and the room was comfortable, clean and quiet.

This is my favorite hotel where I definitely stay when I go to Seoraksan Mountain. I don't think there is a hotel near Seoraksan Mountain that is as good as this price. The facilities are old and outdated, but the hotel seems to be maintaining them consistently. First of all, the view from the room, whether it's snowy mountains or autumn leaves, is so beautiful that I ate more than half of the meal just by looking at it. That's my opinion. Although the facility is old, I personally like it because the overall British style is both antique and retro. We also enjoyed afternoon tea and brunch at the lounge cafe. I also had coffee, and it tasted good, so I think it's great value for money. Even on days when I wasn't staying here, I would stop by and enjoy afternoon tea when I was nearby. If you stay here, you get a discount coupon, so it couldn't be better than this. All the staff were friendly. Also, the omelettes at the breakfast restaurant are delicious. I always eat breakfast here because I remember the omelets being delicious from long ago. The view from the breakfast room is also really nice. However, if there's one thing that's disappointing, it's not a bad idea to keep the old one, but since the bathroom mirror is so old, it's stained or cloudy, so it doesn't look clean, and the water pressure in the toilet isn't that strong. Also, there was a smell of cigarette smoke in the hotel hallway, as if someone was smoking in the room (actually, this was the guest's fault), but it was convenient that the convenience store that used to be outside was moved inside (there are not many items for sale, but it still seems to have all the necessities). Above all, it is very convenient when returning from hiking. Another advantage is that even if you park at the hotel and walk down the mountain, you can quickly come back and wash up since the hotel is a waste. I think I will come here often in the future when I want to see the scenery of Mt. Seorak without having to climb the mountain. I was satisfied this time too.

Thank you for making good memories. The old-fashioned atmosphere calms the mind. I like the antique facilities in England even more.

The hotel is very old, but it is very close to the entrance of Seorak Mountain, just a 5-minute walk away. The water is a little small, but it is manageable. The only thing is that the bedding is clean. The bedding with stains that cannot be washed should be scrapped. It is recommended to eat breakfast in the hotel, otherwise there is really nothing to eat nearby.

Since my goal was to climb Ulsan Rock, I stayed at the Kensington Hotel, the closest accommodation. As soon as I entered the lobby, I fell in love with the kindness of the staff, and I fell in love twice with the interior design that resembled a British royal family. The cleanliness was superb and the bedding was so cozy and nice that I had a great sleep after climbing Ulsanbawi Rock. Next time I visit Seoraksan, I will definitely go to Kensington.
