Hotels in Hamdeok/Jocheon/Gujwa, Jeju

The sea-view room offered an incredible view. There's a trendy restaurant right downstairs, and numerous other eateries nearby, making dining extremely convenient. The public beach and Oliver Young are also within easy walking distance. The photo, taken from the room's balcony in the morning, is simply beautiful. My only minor quibble is that the room tends to be a bit humid, but this is understandable for a sea-view room.

## Pros: The location is superb, directly across from the beach and a bustling fish market. The ocean view rooms offer unparalleled views. Public transportation is also very convenient, with bus routes 101 and 201 making it easy to reach any destination. While there are many dining options nearby, not many are particularly good. However, Haenyeo Bibimbap was the standout among the popular (or 'internet-famous') eateries. ## Cons: The room size and facilities are average and feel a bit dated. For a hotel claiming four stars, it's nowhere near the standard of a domestic 'Quanji' (All Seasons) hotel. They are very strict about the number of guests allowed. We booked an ocean view room with a double and single bed for two adults and one child. Since this exceeded their two-person occupancy limit, we had to pay an extra 10,000 (presumably KRW) per night for the child. Other policies are quite standard for hotels overseas: check-in is strictly at 3 PM and check-out at 11 AM. Late check-out incurs hourly charges, and staying past 2 PM will result in being charged for an entire additional night. Furthermore, they don't provide any disposable amenities, such as slippers, toothbrushes, toothpaste, or body lotion. And no umbrellas are available for guests to borrow.

My 4-day stay was incredibly comfortable. The hotel is right next to Hamdeok Beach, and the Hamdeok Thermal Bath is just a short walk away. There are also plenty of dining options nearby. The hotel lobby is unstaffed after 11:30 PM, but don't worry, there's a self-service machine to retrieve your room key, and it even has a Chinese language option. I was so excited to go out and explore that I completely forgot to take any photos of the room! 😂

I hesitated a lot to go to the hotel or to go to Geha, but I chose Geha because I wanted to feel more Jeju. I just thought, the first time I entered Geha, this house would be as comfortable as my home. I came to a big house. Shampoo rinse body wash and towels were all available and the bed was comfortable so I could rest well. There was a convenience store on the way to ~! There was also a bus to Hamdeok!

The location is not downtown, but it seems to be the best place to stay. Quiet, airy, and lots of electric car charging facilities ~ Bedding and room cleanliness are also so good. Breakfast is delicious and I have a good rest with two children.
