Hotels With breakfast in Jeju Province, South Korea

The room quality is on par with budget hotels like Home Inn or even older Crown Plaza hotels in China, so don't expect too much when you book here. The cleanliness is about the same. It's comparable to a room under 200 RMB in a first-tier city or around 100 RMB in a second-tier city. The wardrobe, desk, sofa, and even the bedding all look quite old and well-used. Although it states it was renovated in 2023, it still feels run-down, more like a renovation from around 2014. The cleanliness reflects this; there were water stains on the sink, and while there's a bathtub, I didn't dare use it. Luckily, I didn't see any obvious mold spots. The front desk staff's attitude was neither particularly good nor particularly bad. Overall, if you're booking this room, don't compare it to hotels priced above 400 RMB in China. Instead, think of it as a 200 RMB room in a first-tier city or a 100 RMB room in a second or third-tier city, with a renovation from around 2014.

This was my second trip to Jeju Island. The first time was over ten years ago on a group tour, and I don't even remember where we stayed. This time, I found this hotel on Ctrip. No breakfast, and it cost over 1200 [currency unit]. They called it a 'sea-view room,' but it was miles away from the beach. I felt the value for money was extremely low; I was definitely tricked by Ctrip! Also, I wasn't too happy that the hotel room only provided disposable paper cups – terrible for making tea! Everything else was just okay, nothing special. And you even had to pay to use the outdoor swimming pool...

Arriving on a rainy day, staff immediately greeted us, opening the car door and helping with luggage. They even escorted us to our room after check-in. Even when we didn't tip upon departure, they still had a smile, which was really nice. The view from the window was the parking lot, but the hotel exterior looked quite grand and upscale. The room amenities were a bit basic and can't compare to similarly priced hotels back home, but for Jeju Island, it was acceptable. The bedding wasn't very comfortable, but I still fell asleep instantly due to how tired I was from the day's activities. The location is extremely convenient; Shilla Duty-Free, a pharmacy, and various restaurants are right downstairs. Getting a taxi to go anywhere was also very easy. Overall, it was a decent stay.

First, my initial thoughts: I was prepared for a 'prison-like' room before checking in, but staying here, I actually found the room small but cozy! Coupled with other advantages, the actual experience exceeded my expectations. Now, for the pros: 1. **Rich Community Facilities:** Besides the accommodation buildings, there's a standalone coffee shop, a standalone small bar (received a free beer voucher upon check-in), a GS25 convenience store (the female staff member was very friendly), a gift shop (at the front desk), and a breakfast/lunch restaurant (you can get a discount if you purchase breakfast at the front desk a day in advance). 2. **Excellent Location for Olle Trail 1:** It's very convenient for those doing Olle Trail Route 1. You can walk to Gwangchigi Beach, the starting point of Route 1, in about 10 minutes. 3. **Friendly Staff:** All the service staff were very friendly and could communicate well in English. 4. **Spacious Bathroom:** Although the room itself was small, the bathroom and shower area were quite spacious. 5. **Free Airport Shuttle:** This was an incredibly valuable service. I took the 10:30 AM shuttle to the airport. No reservation was needed, the bus arrived on time, and it took about an hour to reach the airport. Areas for improvement: 1. **Lack of Hooks in Room:** My room had no hooks, except for two small ones in the toilet. I suggest adding one more in the main room without taking up extra space (I saw some other smaller room types had them). 2. **Soap Dispenser Design:** The hand soap dispenser had a short pump, which was inconvenient to use when my hands were dirty. A longer nozzle would be much better. Overall, it was a very good stay. I would consider staying here again if I plan to do other Olle trails on the Seongsan side.

The hotel's overall environment is quite good, with a beautiful pool and most rooms facing the sea directly. The front desk staff were very friendly and even accommodated a half-hour late checkout. Other than that, I didn't really feel the 'luxury' in the 'luxury family room.' Check-in is at 3 PM, but at Grand Hyatt, you can check in as soon as a room is available. The room did have both a bathtub and a shower. However, the room cleaning wasn't very thorough, and the layout felt a bit cramped. I'm not sure if this was the best view available for the price, as the front desk mentioned rooms on the 5th, 6th, and 7th floors. After checking in, I realized there was a partition on the 5th floor that somewhat obstructed the sea view. Fried chicken room service takes 50 minutes, and prices in the lounge area are high, so it's best to inquire beforehand if that's a concern. The older lady at the GS25 convenience store downstairs was generally unfriendly and seemed unwelcoming to Chinese customers, which makes me wonder if she appreciates her job. There's a bakery next door with generous salad portions. Taxis are easy to catch right outside the hotel. Lotte Department Store is about a 20-minute walk, and the Castle Starbucks and OY are about a 30-minute walk. Overall, the experience was pretty average.

The location is quite good. It's convenient to get around, and the pedestrian street is not far once you step out. The hotel facilities are decent. I didn't take any pictures of them. These photos are all of the surrounding area. The potato soup nearby was good, and the restaurant in the third picture was so good I ate there three times. You can store your luggage, but the service attitude is just okay. There's no Chinese-speaking staff at all. You can't check in early. It costs 10,000 won to check in an hour early. After paying 10,000 KRW and discussing it, I was able to check in 1 hour and 15 minutes early.

Excellent! The owner speaks fluent English, the little dog is super cute, breakfast is delicious, and the place is clean and well-equipped. It was absolutely fantastic! I'd definitely stay here again if I have the chance.

The hotel is conveniently located about 2.4km from the airport and offers breakfast. It's a typical budget business hotel often used by tour groups. The rooms are small, and it can get crowded, so the value for money isn't great. However, the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions and provide directions to tourist attractions after looking them up online. It's also about a 20-minute drive to the Olle Trail, accessible via subway line 16.

It’s very far from the city. It’s like an hour plus ride. Hotel has a lot of convenience around. There is a CU store in the hotel itself. 24 Hours Laundry/Dryer. A supermarket nearby around 5 minutes walk too. Room is very spacious. The only downside, they don’t provide shower towel. Only face towel. The Olle market is also nearby, it’s about 5-10 minutes of walking.

The hygiene was surprisingly good, which was a pleasant surprise. There wasn't much in the way of service, but honestly, we didn't really need any. The breakfast restaurant staff spoke Chinese in the kitchen, and the breakfast itself was on par with, or perhaps even worse than, pre-made dishes you'd find in China. Definitely don't bother booking it.
