Osaek Greenyard Hotel

This hot spring hotel is located right next to Seoraksan's Osaek Mineral Spring. It's a unique hotel with a sauna, open-air hot springs, and a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna). The mineral water is of high quality, and the jjimjilbang is clean and offers a variety of rooms, making the experience truly enjoyable. There's also a steam room and fine stones, allowing you to fully enjoy the hot jjimjilbang. The facilities and atmosphere are more upscale than your average neighborhood jjimjilbang, and it's not like you're eating roasted sweet potatoes or drinking shikhye (Korean rice wine) with boiled eggs. The road from Yangyang to the hotel is quite long and winding, as it's a mountain road. The room lighting and air conditioning are old-fashioned analog, so I assumed they would turn on automatically when I turned the key on, but I was pleasantly surprised. The room facilities also have a strong old-fashioned residential feel. I recommend this hotel to travelers in their 40s and older seeking a healthy retreat. The breakfast is clean, healthy, and delicious, and all the nearby wild vegetable restaurants are delicious.

It's an older hotel, but it's still fine for a two-day stay. However, the sauna needs some improvement. The faucet and shower head don't seem to be working properly. Even if disposable towels aren't provided due to the national policy, it would be nice to have at least some Italian towels. I plan to stay here again.

Quiet accommodations, hot springs, and even a discounted breakfast buffet are all available to suit your needs, even if you don't have a package. Of course, the Hullimgol and Jujeongol are included.
