Located remotely. No public transportation near the hotel. No convenience store nor restaurants nearby. We arrived around four in the afternoon and found the restaurant in the hotel closed. There is not even a vending machine We ended up fasting for the day

A super comfortable place to stay.
This was a rather great place to stay. My room was comfy and clean. Really, James Blue Hostel is the epitome of comfortable. The proprietors are kind with cheerful attitudes, and James helped me plot out a course for the day. The room was roomy with more than enough space

Cosy and comfortable
Cosy and clean place, we were very comfortable (: neighbourhood is very close to "happening" spots at night - no lack of activity! Host James was also very helpful in recommending dinner places and touristy spots to visit. Overall, a great time!

제임스 블루 , 속초 게스트 하우스, 편안, 만족
속초 동명항/금강다리에서 가까운 게스트 하우스입니다 조식으로는 토스트 /딸기잼/ 콘푸로스트 / 우유 / 감귤주스 / 커피가 제공 됩니다, 가격에 비해 상당히 만족스러운 게스트 하우스 입니다 , 또 다시 오고 싶은 마음이 생길 정도로 참 좋았으며, 사장님도 많이 보진 못했지만, 매우 친절하셨습니다

솔직 숙박 후기
침대와 수압이 좋은 것 외에는 비추입니다. 유럽식 조식이라는 이름이 무색하게토스트와 시리얼 두 개라고 말하는 편이 솔찍하지 않을까합니다. 청결면에서도 식당은 불결했고 의자나 테이블이 대부분 많이 흔들거렸고, 개인 수저세트와 접시나 그릇 등은 본인이 챙겨오셔야하겠습니다. 남과 같이 쓰는 게 부담스럽다면 말이죠. 샴푸와 바디클렌저 뿐이라 린스 사용 고객이라면 각자 가져와야할 듯. 매일 하우스키핑 원한다면 주인장님께 언급하셔야합니다. 아니면 스킵. 전체적으로 실망, 리뷰와 사진과 안내가 실제와 많이 다른 듯합니다.

깔끔한 인테리어.
전체적으로 깔끔한 화이트톤의 인테리어로 청소도 잘 되어있었어요. ㄷㅏ만 아쉬운 점은 취식은 쉼터에서만 가능하다는 것... 이 점이 조금은 아쉽네요
