Good location but in need of some tlc
Location and view were great. Deluxe room was a bit disappointing. It needed some tlc and a thorough clean. Headboard, lamp, top of fridge were covered in dust, kitchen island, bottom of shower door needed cleaning as well as blinds especially ones near hot tub. This put us off using the hot tub which attracted us to the room in the first place. The bed side table was damaged and wallpaper was missing in places. I struggled with the toilet and shower door as they were heavy duty glass. The key had to be left outside of the room in order for the electricity to work. Hot tub was turned on from the mains. It just looked unsafe. The balcony needed a tidy and the used shower sponge and half used toothpaste wasn’t very inviting. Not sure we’d stay again unless it was tidied up again. Free parking.

Great Location
Great trip to Sokcho and Seoraksan. Esher House was nice. Location right by the beach was fantastic. The room was a bit dated, but had everything we needed, to include a small kitchen with cooking utensils. The biggest drawback was that the doors between the kitchen area and the bedroom were missing, so everyone basically had to get up at the same time. Overall, I'd stay here again.

Two queen beds. Fitted for a family.
Our room was the last one that night and thus overpriced. Paid about $130 for the room with two queen beds and partial view. Since it was raining I can't confirm the view. The room is big enough for a family of four r, Has basic kitchen supplies and a rice cooker. I didn't care for the blanket as I'm more of a cotton person. The blanket wasn't covered in duvet but it seems like they wash them. The room was over heated and I couldn't figure out how to lower the heat (didn't have a remote) and nobody was at the front desk at late hours. I didn't want to wake the family who runs the business. We were also stuck with a mosquito that kept me up all night. Obviously nobodies fault.

Not good as I expected through reviews
Spacious room but a lot of mosquitoes. There is no friendly "Ms. Hana" like a lot of reviews here, the reception is a man, he can speak a little English and can't help you much on sigh seeing. The room is okey to stay but not as good as the reviews on this or tripavisor

Fine. Nothing to rave about.
All the positive reviews for this pension involve the owner, Hana. However, we didn't meet, or see, her. As a result, there was no walk-thru or description of the amenities. (We arrived late at night, so perhaps that step was skipped for us.) Several times there was no one at the front desk, so we couldn't ask for recommendations or get maps. There was also no breakfast, as indicated in reviews. Overall, if you are comfortable navigating Korea on your own, then this pension is fine. We had the hotel call a cab for us to get to Seoraksan, and we researched dining options on our own. It was fine, but not worthy of the glowing reviews on this (and other) sites. The one positive is that the desk clerk drove us to the bus station on our last day, since I think he realized that the next bus was leaving soon.

Surpassed the Highest Expectations
Hana was an amazing guest. You can tell she takes great pride in her place as she's always trying to make her guests happy. When we checked in she gave us a list of places to go eat nearby and told us where to go. She even helped us order a pizza one night. Don't hesitate to book this place as it's a very nice unit with a solid interior design. The place looks just as good as the photos.

Nice Stay!
We had a very good time at this hotel. The room is spacious with a nice view to the ocean, and it has a small kitchen area with everything you need to make a simple meal. The location is perfect: The seafood market and the bus stop to Sorak mountain are only 10-minute walk away Going to the bus terminal costs only about $3 by taxi. The ladies who own/manage the place are super friendly, helpful and caring. We traveled with our 5 year old son and he had a blast! Don't expect Sokcho to be international as Seoul. All street signs are in Korean. You need to speak and read some Korean to get around.

Great Hospitality in a great Seaside Location
This great little pension in located in a quiet part of Sokcho and is only 100m from the beach. We took the standard room and it was large and comfortable and decorated in Korean style. Even though it is side-on to the beach you still get great views of the sea. The room contains a kitchenette (with 1 cooker), big fridge, table and chairs, big flat screen TV, spacious bathroom. There is a water cooler upstairs where you can get filtered water and a microwave you can use. The proprietor was called Hana and she spoke good english and is super helpful and hospitable. She greeted us as we drove up the road and showed us where to park and even waved us goodbye when we left. She also provided local maps and told us about local restaurants and showed us how to use the controls in the room. They also provide a very nice breakfast which they bring to your room. It is a pleasant and relaxing place to stay and when you are tired of the beach it is only 20mins to beautiful Seoraksan Mountain.

Great Pension House at Sokcho!
This was my first visit to Sokcho Beach, and I had the pleasure of staying in the Superior Room and a Family Room (2 reservations). Hana, was the owner, and was sooo hands on! She helped in every way possible to make my stay more comfortable. The room was a perfect size, great views of the ocean, wonderful bed, and the homemade breakfast each morning was so delicious! It definitely was a First Class Breakfast! I will definitely stay there again!

에쉐르 하우스....걸어서 바다 보러가기 좋았습니다
가족 여행으로 간 속초 에쉐르 하우스 펜션 숙소에 짐을 풀고 바다로 나갈때 걸어서 나가 시간을 보내는등 편의적인 부분이 만족스러웠던 숙소, 화장실등 넓어서 사용하기도 편했습니다. 대체로 만족하고 잘 사용하고 귀가했는데 한가지 좀 불편했던 부분은 베개에서 냄새가 나서 잠을 자기가 좀 어려웠습니다 배게로 인해 전체적인 만족감이 좀 떨어졌어요, 솔직히 그렇게 저렴한 가격으로 숙박 했다고는 생각 안드네요....

가격대비 좋았습니다. 바로 앞에 조용한 해변이 있고, 정면이로 해변이 보이지 않지만 발코니에서는 보입니다. 침대가 높은편이며, 매트리스가 너무 말랑해서 허리가 좀 아팠습니다. 아주 깔끔한 편은 아니지만, 청결도도 나쁘지는 않습니다. 기본적으로 제공해주는 수건도 깨끗해서 만족스러웠습니다. 방마다 공유기가 있어서 와이파이도 아주 잘되고, TV시청도 문제 없습니다. 나중에 기회가 된다면 다시 찾을 의향이 있습니다.

첫 속초여행을 즐겁게 했던거 같아 만족함
시외버스 터미널이나 시내쪽과 좀 떨어져 있어 차가 없다면 택시나 버스를 이용해야하는 불편함이 있고 자전거 무료대여 서비스가 자전거 고장으로 안된다한점이 아쉬웠습니다. 그래도 2인실치고 방이 넓었고 침대도 아주 푹신했습니다 또한 외옹치 해변이 바로 앞인점은 아주 좋았습니다. (근처에 씨유편의점도 있음)

First, another case of magic of photos! I was very disappointed of the quality of hotel, specially of its cleanness. Bath tub was not same as shown in photo and orders around was horrible. We were also told that we can not use the tub after certain hours!! There were towels hangings as you enter the main entrance (not a good sign) and front office people must be sleeping in the office. Pension employees tried to be nice but they were far from professional. Pension must not change cover of duvet and pillow. There were smell from a pillow and we had to put towel over the pillow and sleep. I did request new pillow case and got it but it was unbelievable that they do not provide new cover for guests.

가족과 함께 휴식을 누리기 좋은 숙소
여름에는 여행을 잘 하지 않는데, 이번 여름에는 오랜만에 동해바다를 보자는 생각에 갑자기 숙소예약을 하고 다녀오게 됐어요. 날이 많이 덥고 일에 지쳐있던 때라 뒹굴뒹굴이 이번 여행의 콘셉이었지요. 에쉐르 하우스 폔션은 그에 적합했어요 패밀리룸에 더블베드 두 개가 있어 다 큰 아이들 둘과 함께 써도 전혀 불편하지 않았고, 덕분에 아이들과 모처럼 이야기를 많이 하는 시간을 가졌어요. 호텔 방을 따로 잡으면 아무래도 공간이 분리되니까 각자 시간을 갖게 되는데, 함께 있다 보니 사소한 농담도 계속 하게되더라구요. 마침 유성우가 떨어진다는 날이라 밤에 아들과 숙소 바로 앞 외웅치해변에 걸어가 자리 펴고 누워 별똥별을 봤어요. 좋은 추억이었네요. 아이들이 어느 순간부터 바다보다 수영장을 선호해 바다에 들어가지는 않았지만 바로 앞 외웅치해변에서 많이 노시더라구요. 바로 옆 속초해수욕장만큼 붐비지 않아 나은 것 같았어요. 펜션 입구에 모래 씻을 곳과 샤워장이 있어 놀고 나와서도 편리한듯 보이구요. 또 욕실이 청결해서 좋았어요. 사실 펜션을 꺼리는 이유 중 하나가 욕실이거든요. 타월상태도 좋았구요. 물론 호텔시설과는 비교할 수 없지요. 하지만 급하게 잡은 숙소로 이 정도면 만족입니다. 직원분도 친절하세요. 필요한 건 바로 응대해줘서 좋았어요. 조용히 잘 쉬고 오려는 분들에게 추천입니다

To Kiyoshi Nakaue You made a reservation for 2 nights from08/18. But as soon as you get here, your wife(Korean) said you have to go back to your country the following evening because of your business. And she claimed a refund I explained enough to your wife that it is impossible to cancel reservation on the very day of date in season. Sorry but I don't have a choice but to reject her demand according to cancellation policy. You continued to show signs of uneasiness about everything since then. Nonetheless, we tried to do our best. Your wife expressed satisfaction and promised to back here again. Your wife said everything is great and you also agreed with her. I'm thoroughly confused now.

Best choice for family trip to east beach
My family stayed only one night. It has nice barbecue place looking at beach and hostes provides all gears for your barbecue. Hostes brings nice breakfast to my room. It is very close to beach and port. Only 2 minutes on foot to Oeongchi beach and 5 minutes by car to Daepo port. Oeongchi beach is relatively small but very calm place where we can enjoy it fully. Daepo port is very famous place which has a lot of restaurants to enjoy fresh raw fish with very good pricing as well as looking at the ocean.
