“Convenient location with valuable price”

This is the first time I visit Jeju, I pick this hotel because it’s location is good. I arrived Jeju in early morning and it just took 5-mins by taxi to the hotel. I kept my baggage at the hotel and went to sauna nearby (Ard 10 mins walk) for rest. There are many restaurants and shops (at least con… more

This is the first time I visit Jeju, I pick this hotel because it’s location is good. I arrived Jeju in early morning and it just took 5-mins by taxi to the hotel. I kept my baggage at the hotel and went to sauna nearby (Ard 10 mins walk) for rest. There are many restaurants and shops (at least convenient stores) nearby. The popular shopping district is only 10-minutes walk, I can go shopping every night....it’s really great to me. Other than that, many bus stops near the hotel so that visitors can plan their route easily. I quite recommend this hotel to people who visit Jeju for the first time and are going to stay at Jeju city.

“Fair Value for money - but bring your own breakfast.”

Well equipped spacious room, fully equipped spacious bathroom, actually we were upgraded to a Deluxe Double which was nice. About 5 parking lots next to the hotel, Parking Service around the area if those are taken. Breakfast mostly korean, for Western taste little Stuff, but if you re ready to taste regional stuff you LL have a good breakfast. Hat some difficulties with Payment, the receptionist made an mistake and had to fix it with a 10 min Phone dialogue.

“Good downtown location”

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights. As we had our two year old son travelling with us, the hotel was kind enough to upgrade us from a room with a queen bed to a room with a queen and single bed for additional room and comfort. A nice touch and appreciated. We liked the location as we were close to lots of shops, restaurants and bars in the surrounding neighborhood. We didn't find out until later, however the hotel is convenient to & from the airport using the 600 bus. The Jeju Sun Hotel & Casino is the 1st and last stop to & from the airport and is across the road from this hotel. although we were at the front of the hotel there was no noise from outside. Our room however did smell of cigarette smoke but they opened some windows to help air out the room. Ample size bathroom and electronic toilet. They could do with a chest of drawers for additional clothes storage space and additional hooks to hand towels. The towels were thin and worn to the point of being scratchy - suggest they buy some new towels. No face cloths (pet peeve of mine). We had breakfast included which was basic fare but good enough to fill our stomachs. Staff were friendly and responsive but with varying degrees of English proficiency. Overall we were staisfied with our experience.

“A great place to stay while at Jeju”

When first checked in to the hotel, was unfortunately given a room with some cobwebs in it. After speaking to the reception, it was a truly pleasant and definitely much appreciated gesture that we were granted another room at the top floor. This room was much more satisfactory....clean...free of cobwebs. Space of the hotel was pleasant and modern. Loved their TV....awesome display channels. Great wi-fi reception. Generally, it was a pleasant stay with good service. Location wise is pretty good...within walking distance to the centre of town. I guess the downside is that it takes a little longer time to communicate with the reception...just need to brush up a little more on the sign language. And the shower area does get wet... Otherwise...all things considered....I would definitely return to this hotel.

“OK but slightly amateur hotel near airport - but why stay in Yeon-dong?”

First off, the key question I have to anyone staying at this hotel would be- do you really have a reason to be in this area? - If you have business/some other specific commitment right around here, well then I get it. - If you have a really early flight and want to be by the airport....then I get… more

First off, the key question I have to anyone staying at this hotel would be- do you really have a reason to be in this area? - If you have business/some other specific commitment right around here, well then I get it. - If you have a really early flight and want to be by the airport....then I get it - If you're a tourist otherwise....I'm not really sure the reason. Jeju should be about nature, ocean, or at least something unique. This hotel is in Yeon-dong area...not far from all sorts of great tourist conveniences like money exchange, duty-free shopping, and touristy restaurants. It has a sort of "tourist ghetto" feel to it. Even other urban hotels are closer to the water or some of other other "attractions" in the city. Other than my key question on location (i was actually arriving the night before my friend - so effectively "waiting" - I guess that's another category) I was relatively fine with my stay. I guess I had payed maybe 10,000 won more than other hotels in the area, and in hindsight I bet they would have been similar - so don't expect you're getting anything special. The hotel overall was fairly new and they put some effort into the design - but what stood out after that was kind of a lack of care. The rooms were clean, but the walls there as well as elsewhere just needed some paint touch-ups to look much better - it seemed no one was caring. There was certainly dust around the corners. The stairs were being used for (temporary?) trash storage. I didn't use the restaurant or have breakfast so can't comment on that.... Regardless, nothing wrong with this hotel. But if you're thinking of staying here and don't have a specific need to be in this area, perhaps challenge yourself a bit more to come up with a better Jeju itinerary....
