Hotels near Bong-Wonsa, Seogwipo

Even though I was alone, they gave me a room with 2 queen size beds. It's not an issue really, but I'd rather have a table and a chair instead of another big bed. It's clean, they give you 2 water bottles everyday, but they didn't do my bed for some reason. Maybe it'd be too much for the price!? Overall, I don't complain about it. Somebody already mentioned people leaving their dirty boots and clothing in the hallway. It smells and honestly doesn't look nice by all means. I believe these are football players who come to Jeju for some reason. I stayed in a different hotel the night before I moved to this hotel and it was the same. Those football players are mostly middle-high school students so they might me noisy at the night. A heads-up, do not ask for a room further from the elevator, otherwise you'd have to walk a lot like I did

The room facilities were quite old, and the layout was really strange – the washbasin area faced the bed with no door separating it. The toilet had a door, but it was a mirrored door, which was a bit creepy. The window was even stranger; it wouldn't stay open. As soon as I opened it, it would swing shut with the breeze. I kept opening and closing it all night, which made it hard to sleep. It got stuffy when closed, but it wouldn't stay open. On the bright side, the breakfast was pretty good value, I think it was around 80 per person. There's also a small convenience store downstairs that's open from 4 PM to midnight. The hotel's coffee shop is only open in the mornings. There's a horse stable next to the hotel where you can see horses, but it smells quite bad. It's about a 10-minute taxi ride to Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak, and there are plenty of small restaurants, coffee shops, and bakeries around the hotel. Overall, it's quite convenient.

Travelled in March and the temperature is 12 degrees Celsius outside. The air conditioner is not working so i checked with the counter staff and she said that heater is turned on. It is totally unbearable as the air conditioner is only blowing out hot air. Hence i have to open the windows to let the outside air enter my room. Counter staff was not friendly.

The staff were very friendly and had no problem communicating in English! The rooms were comfortable and had convenient parking. There was a 7-Eleven in the lobby for easy shopping! The price was reasonable! Highly recommended!

I really liked the property of the venue. I came to the area later in the day because it was raining on the island. Because I was in the midst of a circle around the island, I had already dealt with a rain storm at the folk Village and just needed to eat or clean up. I needed tea and a space to relax. There’s a plaza about five minutes walking from this property, and some of the amenities were closed at Playce when I arrived. I was also told at check-in that it was more like a hostel. The check-in process was fast.  The room space is very small, but the design of the hotel rooms is neat and functional. Unfortunately, there’s no luggage rack, and there are limited hours for the café, laundry, play, and bar restaurant. I had two suitcases, so I used my bed and a MacGyver way to set the carry-on.  I think this place is best suited for remote workers who are minimalists or trekkers/bikers. I still think the concept of Playce is unique. However, I wanted to go see the sunrise on the Ilchulbong hike and there’s no breakfast early in the morning. The coffee shop is not open until later either. The restaurant opens promptly at dinner time. The shop has very nice branded things, but I chose to purchase a couple of basic souvenirs. I felt a sense of hipster basically. Otherwise, the place is great. Price is best.  Although the staff was very friendly and had lots of information, I do not feel that describing the venue as a hostel was appropriate. If I cannot get my tea or coffee when the popular attraction nearby is a 40 minute walk away or a five minute taxi, then I should at least have the option that a hostel does. This means I had to utilize the coffee that I took from the previous hotel in order to make my morning start the best at sunrise.. It was suggested that I go to a restaurant locally across the street by Starbucks at the 4pm check-in since the restaurant was not open until 6 PM. Even if I had my own snacks, the option I had was to use the hot water machine downstairs. Thinking back to a hostel, I did not have the hostel kitchen. The laundry was available if needed though.  What I liked about this Playce despite the fact that it was a rainy day is the feature of the stage in the middle of the property and the fact that they do events locally on a regular basis. I liked the interior decorating and I did like the fact that they had a library/remote workers room. The food at the restaurant was delicious. When I did get to eat breakfast later in the morning after the hike (the hike spot had local shops), it was really good. When the café did eventually open, it was a very nice space. Food service literally saved my opinion late in the morning.  I like the concept of the whole property and feel that it can do better in accommodating the hotel guests, especially when it is a Chinese holiday revolving around an upcoming Korean holiday. Hours of operation are not in sync with travelers, and it is definitely not with hostel amenities. It’s a hotel.  I stayed at this location because of the price and vibe which was quite fine after 6pm. I really enjoyed the hike and the small village near the shore.

Smooth stay with most necessary amenities. My room had a beautiful view toward the water. Checkout time was stated as 11:00 am here on Trip? but the hotel kept calling me on the phone around 10:15 am, when I didn’t answer because I was busy packing, they came and knocked on my door a little while later which I found stressful. There was nobody at the reception when I went to check out and leave my key card, so I just left it on the desk.

Booked and stayed here last minute, and even had breakfast. The facilities were clean and spacious, though the room temperature was a bit too high, so I remember opening the window to air it out before sleeping. I had a really comfortable and relaxing stay. Thank you! The breakfast buffet was also decent, but I was a little disappointed there was no fruit. I wished there had been some tangerines! 🍊

Hotel with good view and there’s a 7 eleven just outside lobby, bbq restaurant next door. A 5mins drive to the port and seongsan ilchulbong.

The room was clean and tidy, and the layout was exactly as shown in the pictures. I really liked the subtle floral and fruity scent in the room. There's a tea bar on the higher floors. It's not far to drive to Seongsan Ilchulbong, Udo Island, and Seopjikoji. There's a black pork restaurant nearby that was the best I had on this trip, and also a great bakery and coffee shop that many Koreans frequent. It's quite suitable for a self-drive trip. Personally, I think 230 a night is great value for money. Highly recommended!

Less than 5 mins drive to Seongsan ilchulbong, co-op city was a great place to stay and where many eateries / minimarts were within walking distance. Room was spacious, clean and good condition! Special shout out to their breakfast (paid) which was the better ones in the 5 different hotels I stayed. Parking slots were adequate and room rates was affordable! Recommended!
