Hotels near Seopseom Island, Seogwipo

1. **Transportation:** I arrived in Jeju around 9 PM. It took about two hours to get to the hotel by airport shuttle bus, as it's located in Seogwipo City, quite a distance from the airport. The return journey by bus was more direct, taking about 1.5 hours with fewer stops. There's a bus station nearby. It's also a convenient 5-minute walk to Seogwipo Olle Market. 2. **Environment:** I booked a sea view room, and it was absolutely fantastic, exceeding my expectations! I could see distant islands, the harbor, and even the school below, offering an excellent view. 3. **Service:** There were many staff members at the front desk who could communicate in English. They were all very friendly! I highly recommend this hotel if you're planning to explore the south and east parts of Jeju Island. It's away from the city center, quiet, boasts great scenery, and offers excellent value for money! If I visit Seogwipo again, I'll definitely stay here. I've already recommended it to my friends.

We had a good stay here! The location is a bit out of the city, but still just 10 minutes by taxi or 20 minutes by train to the downtown+market. We sea view room was very nice, we could enjoy the sunset from the balcony. You feel that the hotel is quite old, but they try to maintain it well. The staff was polite, and they have a lot of spaces for parking. Also you can walk to the waterfalls from the territory. I'd like to stay again here next time

Great stay overall. The hotel is in a quiet and convenient location, which made it very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, including the carpark staff. The room was well-maintained, though the carpet could have been cleaner. 2 minor issue was that the toilet light would occasionally switch off unexpectedly and window mesh are not sealed properly that caused the mosquito to fly in. Other than that, we had a pleasant experience.

This is my second time staying at Shin Shin Hotel Seogwipo. It's very well-located, near the bus stop, has many convenience stores within a 150m distance, close to cafes, restaurants, and Seogwipo Olle Market. I also love that there is a washing machine in every room. 🙌🏼 Moreover, they let me checkin a day late since I was stranded in Udo as ferry services between Udon and Jeju were suspended due to strong winds. I'd stay here again and again. 😃

Getting here from the city center involves taking bus 510 and then about a ten-minute walk. However, there's a bus stop right outside the hotel, making it very convenient for exploring attractions near Seogwipo. They offer luggage storage, even utilizing a disused restaurant space specifically for this. The sea view rooms are well-located; I'd recommend requesting a higher floor for the best views, as my room was on the fifth. The room itself was just average; it felt quite cramped with two suitcases opened, and the plush carpet looked a bit tired. The bathroom had a shower, which I actually liked as it's quite uncommon in Jeju. There's an infinity pool on the 7th floor, though it does incur an extra charge. While the front desk staff's English was passable, most communication was still in Korean. Overall, it felt like a domestic budget hotel with a sea view, which is understandable given the price point.

The rooms are really cozy and quite spacious. If you don't have a car, and you're travelling by bus from the airport, the airport limousine bus stop is right across the hotel. If you do drive, there is a car park too. Some other facilities include a mini lounge with a microwave and tables (for you to dine), and a ”mini-mart” in the hotel lobby in case you're hungry in the middle of the nught :) It is also a walking distance from seogwipo maeil ollie market and cheonjiyon waterfall so location-wise, its not bad 👍🏻👍🏻 Do note that the shower area in the toilet does not have a full door/ cover so the toilet floor can get really wet....

The hotel itself was decent, and the location was good – the largest local market in Seogwipo was just a short walk away! However, first and foremost, the lack of a front desk upon check-in was incredibly inconvenient. It's a hotel, not a guesthouse! Secondly, while I can overlook the small room size, what I absolutely couldn't stand was that all the lights were touch-activated and would automatically turn off in less than ten minutes! I tend to shower slowly, and this became really awkward; halfway through my shower, the lights went out, and the touch panel wasn't even in the bathroom, but outside! It was also inconvenient when using the toilet. Honestly, I just don't understand this design! You can strive for energy efficiency, but not at the expense of guest experience and convenience, right?! The hotel staff seemed unaware of this design flaw, and perhaps Koreans aren't as vocal about feedback (unlike the Japanese, haha). In the morning, the hotel seemingly responsibly sent someone to inspect it, but after all that, they told me they found no problems! Yet, I felt like they didn't even understand the issues I was reporting, which sounds a bit ridiculous! The dining area was right there in front of me, but then I was told they weren't serving breakfast. I found that quite incomprehensible as well!

+ Good location near the sea and not far from town + Spacious rooms + Sea view - Few restaurants nearby - No English at reception - You can hear other guests in the rooms

The room is huge for 2a2c. It's actually two rooms that merged into one so we actually have two doors. One side of the room is the bed area and the other side is the living area with sofa and TV. There are two bathrooms as well and one comes with a bathtub. Parking lots are a little limited but no issues with parking our car here at the end of the day. I guess its first come first serve. They are very generous with their in room snacks and its for free. Breakfast could be better I feel and with more varieties. But other than that all is good. Appreciate the steam dryer feature in the room.

We went with family and the room was really big. However, the facilities aren't exactly luxurious. It's probably pretty good for those who like to walk around, as there are many restaurants and tourist attractions nearby.
