Staff was excellent, always going above and beyond to provide excellent service. As one example, on check-in the staff offered us a free upgrade to an available room that had more ammenities than the one we had booked.

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.

Pros: very close to Seoraksan Park (5 minute walk) and great breakfast buffet. Cons: shower stall had a cracked base (water came out along with black sludge at times), hotel rooms are dated, windows were not clean (a simple way to show you take care of the building), and the laundry—while free—had flies coming out of the washer.

Location can't be beat for proximity to Seoraksan National Park, (great for earlier morning start (5 min walk to entrance)) but otherwise way past former (if ever) glory. Facility very tired, staff did their job, food options limited. Ended up driving to Socko for everything else, so just need to decide if you want to drive to park in morning, vs drive somewhere for everything else.

Great breakfast buffet, closes hotel and walkable to the entry of the park, wonderful views with rooftop lounge. The hotel is very outdated though with a musky smell. I don't believe any of the furnishing have ever been updated. But we still enjoyed the hotel and would stay there again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

설악산 여행을 계획하면서 선택한 숙소였는데 기대 이상으로 만족했습니다. 무엇보다 설악산 국립공원과 정말 가까워 아침 일찍 산책하고 케이블카를 이용하기에도 최적의 위치였습니다. 객실에서는 설악산 풍경이 한눈에 들어와 창밖만 바라보고 있어도 힐링되는 기분이었습니다. 호텔은 오래된 전통이 느껴지는 분위기지만 객실 관리가 깔끔하게 잘 되어 있었고, 침구도 편안해서 숙면을 취할 수 있었습니다. 직원분들도 체크인부터 체크아웃까지 친절하게 응대해 주셔서 기분 좋게 머물렀습니다. 조식도 종류가 다양하고 음식 하나하나 정성이 느껴졌으며, 특히 여행을 시작하기 전에 든든하게 식사할 수 있어 만족스러웠습니다. 다음에 설악산을 다시 방문하게 된다면 고민 없이 켄싱턴 호텔 설악을 선택할 것 같습니다. 가족여행이나 부모님 모시고 오는 여행에도 자신 있게 추천드립니다. 좋은 추억 만들어 주셔서 감사합니다.

I visited this hotel with my wife and our two kids. We used it as our base for a two-day trip to the beaches around the Sokcho area during peak season. The hotel is uniquely decorated with vintage memorabilia, which makes it fun to explore. This type of classic western hotel is hard to find in Korea these days. The breakfast was also excellent, and the view from our table by the window was beautiful. The staff were warm and friendly, unlike the snobbish staffs you sometimes encounter at other expensive “five-star” hotels. We also received a complimentary room upgrade, which was a wonderful addition to our trip. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Vi var 3 rejsende men kun 2 håndklæder, kopper etc. De prøver på noget ud over det sædvanlige men mislykkedes desværre. Havde nok for høje forventninger. Området er til gengæld til 10 stjerner, så derfor ligger Kensington godt. Ps. Svært at være vegetar der
