Seogwipo Hotels with Bars

The hygiene was impeccable, very clean and tidy. I booked a single room with a private bathroom, and they provided towels, shower slippers, and toothpaste (no toothbrush). Self-check-in was available after 4:00 PM, and they offered free luggage storage, which was a huge convenience for backpackers and hikers. Just outside the hotel is Dongmen Market, where you can get a feel for local life, and in the evenings, you can visit the night market there to grab a bite – the grilled squid was massive! The hotel staff were very friendly, and you could store food in the fridge (just write your name on it). There was also a microwave and coffee available.

The hotel itself was impeccable, but there were too many kids, making it incredibly noisy. The soundproofing wasn't great either, and children were constantly running wild in the hallways, creating chaos. I'd advise anyone without kids or who is sensitive to noise to avoid this place. At breakfast, I kept hearing Chinese children shouting very loudly, like ”Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa!” and ”Mommy, Daddy, Mommy, Daddy!” – you know the kind of thing. It really drew a lot of attention.

For a 5-star hotel, the staff service is quite disappointing. The front desk had long queues and provided rigid service, while the facility maintenance and housekeeping staff clearly lacked any customer service training. I felt the same way during my last visit, and despite hoping for improvements this time, it's exactly the same. After checking out and staying at another hotel in Jungmun, the significant difference in service is even more apparent. The service is severely lacking compared to advantages like the location.

As someone who is always picky about hotel rooms, I specifically came to leave a review because this place is truly worth it. The hotel is very large, and the service is incredibly welcoming. As soon as I got out of the car, someone greeted me, explained the check-in time for the afternoon, and helped store my luggage. If you arrive early, you store your luggage first and then check in, which is different from the Parnas next door. The Louis Vuitton store was quite crowded, so reservations were needed. This is a garden-style hotel, with beautiful sights at every turn, showcasing its former luxury everywhere. Although the facilities aren't the most modern, the cleanliness is exceptional. Every corner, including the balcony, was clearly meticulously cleaned, which deserves a big thumbs up! 👍 All items in the mini bar are chargeable, unlike the Parnas where they are free. The bathroom's wet and dry separation is also excellent. Exiting the hotel to the right, towards the Louis Vuitton store, there's a brunch spot I highly recommend. Their coffee and bagel set is substantial and delicious. They have self-ordering kiosks inside, and you definitely need to get a bell pager in advance. The tofu salad is great for a nutritional boost. Next door is a 7-Eleven, across the street there's Thai food (didn't try it), and diagonally opposite there's a BBQ place (didn't try it). Within a ten-minute walk, you'll find the Teddy Bear Museum, a castle-themed Starbucks, and O'Sulloc Tea Museum. Walking for a maximum of 30 minutes from there gets you to the Jusangjeolli Cliff. It's truly convenient. I'll definitely stay here again next time. Oh, and behind the windmill is Olle Trail Route 8, and walking down from there leads you to Jungmun Beach, perfect for surfing, swimming, and sunbathing.

The room is spacious enough for two adults and two children. The indoor and outdoor pools are great. There's also a kids' playground and a Nintendo Switch, so both adults and children will be happy.

It is close to Seogwipo Olle Market and the intercity bus terminal. A guesthouse renovated from the old Midojang. A good place to stay for a day or two. I visited Mido Hostel again for the first time in almost 10 years. I accidentally stayed for 5 consecutive nights, forgetting my age, and in a dormitory at that. There was nothing uncomfortable about sleeping, but I was embarrassed by the shared restrooms and bathrooms. It was exactly the same as before. The shared kitchen has been replaced by a container on the rooftop, and the reception area where the kitchen used to be has been changed into a bar or cafe. I felt like I would be a nuisance, so I didn't even think about going to the cafe except to ask for a towel. In the evening, a small party, like a dinner gathering, was held among the guests. I think it would be a good experience for young people.

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.

This was my third time staying at Goldone Hotel during my Jeju trips. The first time was with my partner, the second with my spouse, and this time it was a family vacation. The swimming pool is heated, which was great for use even in winter. This time, the water temperature was around 30-35 degrees Celsius, which was warm and comfortable, so we didn't feel cold at all. My parents were very satisfied, and my child loved it too. Although there aren't a huge number of rooms and the front desk entrance isn't grand, the rooms themselves are comparable to a 5-star hotel. My whole family felt it was just as good as a 5-star, even wondering if it was a great value hotel! The king-sized bed was spacious, and the room was very clean and nice. For breakfast, during my previous visits, I had the room service breakfast, so this time I didn't opt for it. However, if you're traveling as a couple or with a partner, I think having breakfast would add to the ambiance and be even better.

All of the hotel staff we met were nice and friendly! However, there could be a lot more that can be done to maintain the hotel better. The cabinet was dusty, the basin tap sprays water onto the basin so that it was wet whenever I used it. The toilet door handle was broken but was glued back. All of the lamp shields in my room were slanted - this is not a practical problem but these are easy fixes . The hotel could also fix big bottle of shampoo and onto the wall instead of giving us shampoo bars. The only upside was the bedding seems quite clean. Sorry to the nice staff we have met but I dont think it is a 5-star hotel.

A highly recommended hotel. Excellent location, clean rooms, laundry service available. Convenient to nearby attractions. 6 minutes from Olai Market. Staff speak good English. Good reading material. You can also take photos and check in at the Orange Cafe (close to the bus).
