The Soom Forest Hotel

Thank you!

My kids had fun here. The vibe was friendly. Gosh we loved the restaurant and the people that ran it. They made our stay. Breakfast was simple and enjoyable. The room was clean although unsightly with mystery stains here and there that were permanent (unable to be removed by my cleaning wipes) . The cleaning staff did a great job, of cleaning the best they could, however… the room needed a fresh coat of paint. The poor towels were threadbare. The guide book for the room looked like something from 1955 and the balcony was covered in spiderwebs. Some bug activity is to be expected. This location is in a partially wooded area, however all of the balconies were covered in old spiderwebs and it was apparent those webs had been there for a long time. Also, in the restaurant I was surprised to see old spiderwebs in the flowers. Maybe spiderwebs are not a big deal but if they were not at this hotel and this hotel was given a minimal glow up, it would be excellent and we'd come back. Until then, manage expectations and enjoy your stay and time at everland. P.s. the Everland shuttle was useless on Sunday. It starts running at 12:30. The park opens at 10 or 10:30am.

Hotel staff are the best part of here. The outside is generally well maintained. The rooms and bathrooms are in need of a renovation and updating.

The room was exceptionally clean and the staff was very courteous and helped us. They all spoke English and tried to make us as comfortable as possible. The English breakfast was good and the view from the 9th floor was excellent. Parking was also not a problem and we never struggled to find a spot. The room had an electric kettle and free water bottles. Cons- breakfast was 21,000₩ per person. The room is a bit sparse for a luxury suite - it’s a 3 star hotel, but not more.

The shuttle bus was only available after 12 while the check out is 11am.

Yes

The hotel staff were friendly, helpful and approachable. Hotel has free shuttle to everland. Outer facade of hotel is tranquil and homely. There is a pretty good thai restaurant and a small minimart within the property. It is also very considerate of the hotel to install a water dispenser at the 1st level in line with korea's mission towards sustainability

Never going back, for sure!!

If you are looking for a hotel near Everland, this is the place. And the staffs are very nice and kind. But that’s it. There were dirty spots right above the headboard. And the hair conditioner was like hell. Wasn’t it supposed to be silky?? I had to pump some time because maybe the amount of the soap wasn’t enough but it wasn’t. Just bring your own hair conditioner. And I don’t recommend you purchase the breakfast if you are non-Korean. It seems everyday same manu and not many choice. It’s mainly focus to Korean. And about the pool, they open 11am to 6pm so if you are planing to go to pool, don’t go out for other activity because that’s the only time that you can use the pool. And the ppl upstairs, there were so loud and their foot step sound was so bad. So I had to complain to the counter. But like I said above, the staffs are really nice and kind, so they offered me changing room.

Slightly older property but well maintained and clean. Ended up booking amother night here because we wanted to stay until EverLand closed. Shuttle is small but we were able to get spots on it for the next day. It runs from 930 - 2000. We took a taxi back to the hotel from EverLand since we stayed past 2000. Staff is very nice and helpful! There is a hill that u need to walk up to get Building A and B. B is further back. There was an English speaking staff member.

The staff was friendly. The male receptionist was even more helpful and friendly. He helped us on a rainy evening by driving us to the hotel.

I think very comfortable big room.

It was very close to Everland amusement park. About 5-10min drive from the hotel to the park.

Property was beautiful but the staff were really cold and brushed us off :( I went there with my partner for our anniversary and we got the couples package. They didn’t tell us we can check out late, and they seemed like they were wanting us to leave them alone the entire time. It felt like i was bothering them :(

Hotel has a transport service for Everland, and as this was the reason we stayed here, that was perfect. There’s not much public transport close, and the streets are very hard to navigate with a large suitcase. Helpful and friendly staff.

Room is ok but toilets bit old and needs refurbishing..

The check in and evening team are especially wonderful, so welcoming especially for foreigners. Made us feel very welcome including showing us to our rooms. Shuttle service to/from Everland operated by the hotel is excellent in a modern Hyundai van. Breakfast buffet is a good fare, though not a lot of options in evening. Would definitely recommend for those travelling to Everland and surrounding area.

에버랜드 오신 분이라면, 가까우니 좋을 것 같습니다. 주위에는 아무 것도 없는데, 바베큐 하는 곳이 가득차서 대신 짬뽕킹 갔는데, 외국인 친구들도 미친듯 먹을 정도로 맛있네요. 그 외의 주변 인프라는 없습니다. 익스피디아 사진에 있는 하늘 정원은 현재 임대 중인 앞건물이 태국음식 레스토랑이라 호텔 프로퍼티가 아니라 직원도 존재를 모르네요. 사진 수정 필요할 듯 합니다. 방 가격도 낮지는 않은데 바베큐, 아침식사 가격이 매우 높은 편이라 모두 주변에서 더 럭셔리하고 낮은 가격에 해결했습니다. 선선한 발코니 뷰는 강추..

Pros: Clean, close to Everland, comfortable beds. Cons: For 16$ breakfast - very poor selection, nothing interesting around to see, not many parking spots. No drinking water in rooms.

Very convenient to Everland Park, but there are not many restaurants around the area. Make sure you are prepared for some snacks and drinks.
