LLiuyuetian、This was our first overseas family trip, and we chose Jeju Island. We started looking for hotels in May. After a successful booking, the host sent very detailed check-in instructions, including the location and contact number.
We communicated several issues over the phone during the planning stage, and they were mostly resolved.
Getting here from Gate 5 at the airport by Global taxi took less than ten minutes. However, it's crucial to have the Korean address ready to show the driver to avoid getting lost, as taxi fares are quite expensive.
We arrived a little after 1 PM, but check-in is typically after 3 PM. After storing our luggage, we headed out. Just 20 meters south of the entrance is a GS25 convenience store, which is relatively well-stocked, even with some fresh vegetables and fruits, though prices are higher than back home.
**Cleanliness:** The room has a minimalist decor and was spotlessly clean.
**Facilities:** The room features central air conditioning, a washing machine, a refrigerator, and a TV with screen mirroring and HDMI input. The kitchenware is complete and very clean. The stovetop is induction, with a frying pan and a milk pot. Plates, bowls, and chopsticks are all provided, suitable for both stir-frying and boiling. The range hood is a pull-out type located above. We bought some meat, vegetables, and instant noodles and cooked a meal, which was quite pleasant. There's a drying rack, but hangers were a bit scarce, only about four or five. The shower had strong water pressure, but remember to manually set the temperature on the control panel on the wall after entering the room, otherwise, it defaults to a very low temperature.
**View:** Our room was on the 13th floor, facing north, offering views of both the airport and the sea. The vista and scenery were truly excellent, especially during sunset and sunrise. The blinds provide good blackout functionality. The bed was slightly on the softer side. We booked a family room with one large and one small bed, and there was a partition in between, which was a great feature.
**Service:** During our four-night stay, we interacted with several front desk staff. Two of the male staff spoke good Chinese, and the others could communicate in English. All of them had excellent attitudes.
Thanks to its excellent location, it was very convenient to get to the bus stop, Baojian-ro, and Samyeong-ro from the accommodation. There's a park downstairs, and during our stay, an MBC-sponsored two-day music festival was held there over the weekend, which was quite lively.
**Summary:** Besides the affordable cost and excellent location, the spaciousness and the convenience of being able to cook were the main reasons we chose this place. It certainly didn't disappoint; our experience over these few days was excellent, and the room's soundproofing was also good.
Two points to note:
1. Because it's adjacent to a main road, if you don't close the window at night, there will be some noise. This is unavoidable.
2. During your stay, you need to collect and dispose of your own trash. Be aware that South Korea has very strict waste segregation rules, with at least three categories: food waste (including eggshells), recyclables, and general waste. Liquids from bottled drinks and cans must be emptied. The trash disposal area is about 20 meters north of the exit, where there's a recycling station. In the mornings, several elderly women will be there sorting through the trash; if you're really unsure, you can just hand it over to them.
Overall, my stay experience gets a 95/100, and I would choose this place again on my next visit.
