Seogwipo Hotels with Bars

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 The shared kitchen has been replaced by a container on the rooftop, and the reception area where the kitchen used to be has been changed into a bar or cafe.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.

My 7 friends and I were hiking the Olle Trail. This hostel is in Seogwipo, right next to the starting point of Olle Trail Route 7 and the certificate collection point. We booked for five nights, but ended up canceling the last three nights after the first night. The reasons were excessive noise and extremely rude front desk staff. Their BBQ night went on until 2 AM. The manager had explicitly told us during check-in that it would end by 11 PM. When I asked the front desk girl if they could lower the volume because it was too loud to sleep, she replied in very broken English: ”This is a hostel, not a hotel. It's a cheap place. You should respect the guests who paid for the BBQ night” (30,000 KRW per person). Seriously? We booked double and twin rooms, not dormitory beds. And at 300-350 RMB per night, this place offers no competitive advantage in the area. The Seogwipo Grand Hotel next door also charges 350 RMB for a twin room, and the Zinc Hotel across the street is 250 RMB. For the following nights, it rained, so there was no BBQ. Plus, we were tired from hiking and didn't want the hassle of moving hotels, so we continued our booking. That means we booked four rooms for five consecutive nights. I'll definitely visit Jeju Island many more times and complete the entire Olle Trail, but I will never stay at this hostel again. P.S.: The middle-aged female manager and the young man named Sam who checked us in were both very kind and helpful.

The hotel is extremely clean and well-maintained. The service is excellent, and the swimming pool facilities are very family-friendly. The environment is also modern and stylish, making the stay comfortable for both adults and children. Highly recommended!

Even though it's an older hotel, it's very well-maintained, and the rooms are cleaned promptly. The public areas are also quite nice. The check-in staff speak Korean and Chinese, and there are also Chinese-speaking staff available to answer questions. However, nearby dining options are a bit far and require a walk. The restaurants next to Lotte aren't very good and are a bit overpriced. The bread and desserts in the lobby are also delicious; if you go too late, some items are already sold out by locals, and they're not overly sweet. The red bean and chocolate ones are great, but the cream and butter sticks are just average. Getting to the beach requires going downhill, and due to the location, most hotels nearby have the same situation where you have to go down and then climb back up. Overall, it's good. Aside from not providing disposable toiletries, it's pretty much on par with hotels in Sanya, and the room rates aren't inflated.

Really liked it! The Starbucks upstairs has a better view and is more comfortable than the 'most beautiful Starbucks' on Jeju Island. The location is also excellent, within walking distance to many attractions.

Lotte Hotel is located in the heart of Seogwipo's resort area. From the moment we stepped out of the car, we were met with warm service and a relaxing, vacation vibe. Being a resort hotel, the rooms are incredibly spacious. We booked a family room this time, with one single and one double bed, and the single bed was even big enough for two people to sleep comfortably. One of the best things is that you can walk directly from the hotel to Jungmun Beach (though it's a 10-minute walk down some stairs). The hotel also has its own outdoor pool, which was great for the kids to splash around in. We could spend the whole day there, eating and drinking without ever leaving the pool. The changing rooms at the pool were also convenient for showering, and we even played there for a while after checking out. Right outside the hotel, there's a convenience store and a few restaurants. A 10-minute walk brings you to a McDonald's and more dining options. This whole area is a resort district with many hotels, so the roads and commercial areas are well-planned together, making for a pleasant and convenient environment. My only complaints were that we were only assigned a room on the 2nd floor (the front desk is on the 8th), and on our check-out day, they completely refused our request for a late check-out until 1 PM.

While I was traveling alone, I can see that this hotel would be nice for couples and families too. It’s in a quiet location but not far from many of the sites you’d want to see in Seogwipo. All the rooms face the ocean and have lovely views. In addition to comfortable rooms (mine had a sofa, jacuzzi tub overlooking the ocean and a balcony), there are pools, multiple decks and a garden. The staff was very nice and helpful. While I only ate one meal in the restaurant it was very good. I would stay here again and do recommend it.

The hotel was very clean. It's a shame we stayed for two nights and it was cloudy and hazy every day, so we didn't get to see the true beauty of Mount Lu. We stayed in a suite, which was perfect for a family with two kids. The beds were comfortable, and the air conditioning was surprisingly quiet, which is great for light sleepers. Perhaps due to the climate, there were a lot of small flying insects at night, but the staff were constantly cleaning them out of the pool, and the water was very clean. The Ivory Brunch downstairs was delicious, and the supermarket had plenty of options. The changing rooms by the pool were also exceptionally clean, and they even had skincare products available. Highly recommend!

Booked this for my parents. They said breakfast was excellent every day, with a great variety. Dinner was also very generous in portion size. My parents enjoyed a dip in the pool daily; they found it very relaxing. The little cat by the entrance was adorable; we greeted it every time we came back. The piano played every evening. If I didn't have work to finish, I would have loved to listen for much longer.

This is the best hotel out of 3 hotel we stayed at when we were in Jeju. I love the location, the rooms were spacious, staff were very friendly, respectful and helpful. The view out to nature was amazing and calming. My kids enjoyed it. The pool is heated and was beautiful and it was perfect because the weather was cold. I love the idea of the DJ pool night time to just enjoy live music and chill time. Also very convenient with 7-11 store with other shops that are well affordable to buy necessities. The room service was also amazing. We ordered our food and it didn’t take long for them to be delivered. WE LOVE THIS HOTEL. A must to stay at if when we go again.
