Hotels near Gogwansa, Jeju

"Located near Hamdeok Beach, the off-season price was great. The hotel is tucked away in an alley and has a parking tower, but there aren't many flat parking spaces and they're hard to get. There's a free public parking lot not too far away. The front desk staff were very friendly and explained how to use the parking facilities. The breakfast was a highlight – clean, hygienic, and with a diverse selection. Even though there was only one person working in the restaurant during the off-season, she was always smiling, which brightened my mood! The room was large, but the design lacked a bit of privacy (perhaps suitable for couples). The toilet area with a clear glass partition was a bit awkward. There were no hangers provided in the room, and the power outlets were strangely placed and blocked by furniture. The sink was designed too low – I don't know who designed it, but they should be fired. Overall, staff/breakfast get 5 stars, location 4, and room amenities/design 3. It would still be a good choice if visiting in the summer."

"I'll definitely book here again next time. Right outside the door, a CU convenience store is to the left, and a street full of food options is to the right. There's a Korean fried chicken place with unbelievably delicious cheese-flavored chicken; we ate there multiple times and even got takeout once. The 202 bus stop is conveniently located just a 2-minute walk to the right. The area itself is quiet, the room was comfortable and spotless, and the balcony offered stunning sea views. On our last day, we stepped out around 10 PM and were pleasantly surprised by how lively the evenings are. There were many shops and restaurants open, and we had an amazing time drinking soju and eating Korean BBQ – the experience was just perfect! Overall, the location is truly excellent. (P.S. We even ran into many energetic and 'cool' Korean high school students on a study trip staying at the hotel!) Despite the rain throughout our entire trip, this accommodation completely made up for it, and we still thoroughly enjoyed exploring the surrounding area."

"This place is fantastic! It's right across from Hamdeok Beach – just cross the road and you're on the sand. I'm not sure why the rating is so low; the hygiene was perfectly fine. We arrived early, dropped our bags in the lobby, and immediately jumped into the ocean. The best time to swim is around 6 or 7 PM when the tide comes in; it's less crowded then too. Later in the evening, the hotel's ground-floor bar has live music, which creates a great atmosphere. We honestly didn't want to leave. Plus, there are plenty of dining options and conveniences right downstairs, much more vibrant than Gwakji Beach, where we stayed afterward."

"This hotel boasts a great location, just 16 km from the airport and right across from Hamdeok Beach. You step out and see the ocean immediately, so the views are fantastic. The room layout, well, it's a bit quirky. The bathroom and toilet are separate, with the shower area situated between the bed and the window, which can make the room quite humid after a shower. The bed is pushed against the wall, so you can't lie in bed and see the ocean directly. However, there's a small balcony where you can enjoy coffee with a sea view. The front desk staff gave me a special Olive Young discount coupon which was really useful! The hotel is also a five-minute walk from Olive Young, and they even offer a complimentary Americano."

"The bathroom and room were quite clean; I didn't notice any bad smells like some reviews mentioned. The bed wasn't as comfortable as a 5-star hotel, but it was acceptable for me, and I slept well. For the price, it's excellent value. My favorite thing about this place is its location right by Hamdeok Beach, making it very convenient to get to the beach. There are also plenty of places to eat and shop nearby. You can even enjoy breakfast with a sea view. My room didn't face the sea, so I couldn't see it, even though I requested a sea-view room during check-in. I'm not sure if they didn't have any available or didn't understand my request, but I didn't get one. Otherwise, everything else was great."

"Our group of five (two families) spent 7 days in Jeju, staying at two hotels, and this was the first one we checked into. The hotel's location isn't ideal; it's about a 20-minute walk to Hamdeok Beach. On the plus side, there's a BHC fried chicken restaurant and a CU convenience store right next door. We were quite satisfied with the hotel's cleanliness and facilities; it was spotless and well-maintained. However, to be honest, we were quite dissatisfied with the front desk service. No matter what the issue was, their immediate reaction seemed to be to say no. It felt as if they might have perceived us as being overly demanding Chinese guests. For example, in my sister's family's room, the toilet wouldn't flush in the morning (note: their toilets here are electronic with automatic flushing). When we contacted the front desk, they informed us that maintenance staff wouldn't be on duty until 11 AM, so the issue couldn't be addressed until then. Since everyone needed to use the restroom that morning, we kept pressing for a solution. Eventually, the front desk staff consulted with a nearby cleaning lady. The cleaning lady then simply turned around, picked up a plunger (which was conveniently located right next to the front desk, implying this is a common issue), and fixed the toilet in a matter of seconds."

"Close to the start of Olle Gil 19. Comfortable room. Seems to have options for doing bbq on site, but didn't do it myself."

"Facilities: Excellent, it has all the essentials. There's a 7-Eleven right outside which is very convenient. Cleanliness: I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the cleanest places I've ever stayed in. There wasn't even dust on the walls; every single spot was spotless. The bed looked so clean, it was like no one had ever slept in it. The cleanliness genuinely amazed me. Environment: It's right next to Hamdeok Beach, about 1 kilometer from the scenic area. It's roughly a two-turn walk to get there. Downstairs, there are two bus stops; we took a direct bus to Udo Island, so transportation is very good. Service: Excellent, nothing to fault. If you put out the 'do not disturb' sign, they even leave water and fresh towels outside your door. It's the first time I've seen such thoughtful service."

"This guesthouse truly exceeded my expectations! I booked a suite for the photo opportunities, and even though it was cloudy both days, the spacious suite was incredibly comfortable. The bed is huge, and you can watch the ocean right from it. The room is fully equipped with a washing machine, microwave, and daily essentials, plus there's a big terrace. It would be lovely to sit out there, enjoy the sea view, and have breakfast on a nice day. The ocean is right outside, and Hamdeok Beach is only about a 15-20 minute walk away. I didn't see the big dog mentioned in other reviews, but there was a super cute small dog. The large lawn in front of the building is also very pleasant to look at, but unfortunately, the weather wasn't great. I'd definitely come back to this guesthouse again!"

"The hotel room was suitable as a simple stay for the night. We appreciated the location right by the beach, near souvenir gift stores and nice eateries. Whilst it’s a more old-fashioned and vintage-esque hotel, the room was comfortable and the shower pressure was lovely. Unfortunately, the service was questionable. My friend and I had an incident in the late night around 3am and 4am with knocking from a Korean male neighbour. We’re not sure of his intentions as he spoke in Korean and could not understand, but it was a very frightening experience. It took several calls to the front desk to finally get through to staff and when I explained there’s a man knocking on our door outside — they did not show any sense of urgency or took the matter seriously by helping us to check our floor. Instead, the male hotel staff said he’s sleeping and never came to our room to knock, which confirmed it was a stranger. When we asked for security or female staff to assist us, the male staff said there was no one else except male staff. We ended up staying up in fear and had disrupted sleep. In the morning, a female staff at the front desk translated to us that the man who knocked was a “student with disability”. A very strange experience and poor explanation given, there should have been more efforts to help make us feel safe and comfortable — especially being two females travelling together. Stay safe to future guests, and please latch your door and check the balcony is locked."
