Hotels near Elefunsia, Jeju City

The room was clean and tidy, and the owners were incredibly nice. The scenery outside the guesthouse was absolutely stunning; a walk in the morning or evening is all you need, no need to go to a distant beach. There are many convenience stores and restaurants nearby, which is super convenient. It's close to the airport, but a bit far from other attractions, which is a minor drawback. Some people mentioned issues with not being able to check-in after 10 PM, and I experienced this too. However, I emailed the owners in advance, and they replied quickly. After asking for my flight number, they helped me book a taxi (though a bit pricey, it was very convenient) and waited for us until 10:30 PM. So, everyone should check their operating hours and communicate in advance when booking to avoid any problems.

Jeju bus terminal stop-beware of the separate blue and green bus stop so you wont missed your bus. Naver map and Tmoney help your journey around Jeju. Mr. Peter, himself, messaged me first through trip.com about the time I will be there at their place, which I was hesitant to do that but luckily, he did and that was surprising. Also, he let me leave my luggage in advance. Staff speaks English well and hospitable. As soon as you check in, staff will provide the stuff you needed for your stay in the room plus the indoor slipper to switch with your outdoor shoes to be placed in the closet at the entrance. NO elevator but the girl staff offered to carry my luggage to the room. There is an area in the 2nd floor for dining—designated place to eat—with microwave, water dispenser, dishes and utensils, fridge and freezer, you can cook and wash your dishes. There is a small area designated for reading/relaxing in the 3rd floor, where the entrance to the rooftop(to watch Hallasan sunset and for 8pm projector movie night). 2nd floor for male guests while 3rd fl for females. Sleeping room(is really for sleeping, no room to stretch only in your bed—is very comfortable with one outlet and a lamp) is separate from the shower area with slippers(washbasin/sink and enclosed shower stalls-body wash & shampoo) from the toilet stalls and from the powder/mirror area with hairdryer. If you have a small to medium luggage, you can store it under the bunkbed. There are lockers in every room (a normal school backpack could fit). Walking distance to Yongduam Rock to Yeongyon Bridge to boardwalk for coastal walks—great cafes to watch waves & landing planes and local resto—to Jungang Shopping Street to Jungang Underground Mall to Dongmun Market. If you like mochi, next door of the Mir is delicious and affordable Jeju Mochi which is priced twice in the airport. Convenience stores (7-eleven next door), chicken&fries and local resto around the corner. Mr. Peter met him during the breakfast. He prepared the breakfast—egg sandwich which comes w/black coffee or orange juice. He is nice and approachable. The Mir Guesthouse’s is designed from the Yongduam Rock, it is cool, clean, and magnificent. Solo traveling is fun—meeting new faces, different nationalities, cultures, and witness the amazing nature’s wonder.

The carpet in the room was a bit dirty; I hope the hotel can replace it. The sponge cushion on the chair was also damaged by cigarette burns. On the plus side, it's still livable. It's 3km from the airport, and breakfast was decent. They offer luggage storage, so I bought disposable sheets and duvet covers for my trip. Overall, I'd give it an 85. We mostly took taxis because Jeju has a lot of hills, and walking is too tiring. We booked a one-day tour to Udo Island, and pickup/drop-off is available from this hotel. There's a convenience store downstairs. It's suitable for spontaneous travelers.

For my first trip to Jeju, I opted for a branded hotel, which was very convenient as it's located in the city center, right above Lotte Duty Free, and close to the airport. This saved a lot of travel time, especially on the way back when there were long delays for check-in, baggage drop, and security at the airport. The hotel breakfast was excellent and offered a wide variety. I stayed in a sea view room this time, and it was great; I even had the good fortune to see a double rainbow 🌈. Very satisfied, highly recommend.

My stay at this hotel has been very unpleasant. First, I felt like I was being judged based on my race. In the U.S., we don’t usually take off our shoes indoors, so I honestly forgot. I apologized, but the owner was rude and asked me if I was Chinese—which made me very uncomfortable. Second, I’m sensitive to noise. I asked to switch rooms because the air conditioner in my first room was too loud. In the second room, I could hear noise from upstairs. When I asked again, the owner said there were no rooms left and that I’d have to wait until tomorrow. Out of curiosity, I went to check the third room myself, but the owner watched me through cameras and said I was ”weird.” I don’t understand why I can’t even look around without being watched, especially when I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Lastly, there is some exercise equipment near the front desk. There’s no sign saying guests can’t use it, so I was curious and started using it. But the owner’s wife asked me, ”Why don't you go to the park to work out?”—implying that the equipment isn’t for guests. That felt really dismissive. Also, there is a camera in my room. I understand it might be for fire safety, but it still makes me feel uncomfortable—like I'm being watched. Overall, I’m just really upset by their attitude. 이 호텔에 묵는 동안 정말 불쾌한 경험을 했습니다. 첫째, 인종적으로 차별당하는 느낌을 받았습니다. 미국에서는 실내에서 신을 벗는 게 일반적이지 않아서 제가 깜빡하고 신을 벗지 않았어요. 사과드렸지만, 사장님이 무례하게 제게 ”중국인이냐”고 물으셨고, 그 점이 매우 불편했습니다. 둘째, 저는 소음에 예민한 편입니다. 첫 번째 방의 에어컨 소음이 너무 커서 방을 바꿔달라고 요청했고, 두 번째 방에서는 위층에서 소음이 들렸습니다. 다시 요청드리니 사장님은 빈 방이 없다며 내일까지 기다리라고 하셨습니다. 궁금해서 제가 직접 세 번째 방을 확인하러 갔더니, 사장님이 카메라로 지켜보다가 제가 ”이상하다”고 말씀하셨어요. 아무 잘못도 하지 않았는데, 왜 그냥 둘러보는 것조차 감시당해야 하는지 이해가 되지 않습니다. 마지막으로, 프런트 데스크 근처에 운동 기구가 있었습니다. 손님이 사용하면 안 된다는 표시가 없어서 궁금해서 사용해봤는데, 사모님이 ”공원에 가서 운동하지 그러세요?”라고 물으셨습니다—그 말은 손님은 이 기구를 쓰면 안 된다는 뜻으로 들렸습니다. 정말 무시당하는 기분이었어요. 그리고 방 안에도 카메라가 있습니다. 화재 안전을 위한 것일 수도 있다고 이해는 하지만, 그래도 계속 지켜보는 것 같아 불편합니다. 전체적으로, 그들의 태도에 정말 화가 납니다.

Pros: * Great location at a great price, very close to shopping areas. There is a 7-Eleven right next door, and it is easy to book an Uber. The bus stop is also only about 30 meters away. * Automatic check-in and check-out, which is very efficient and convenient. Overall: 8/10 * The room is quite spacious. * Plenty of power outlets in the room, which is very convenient. Cons: * The room is quite old, and the paint on the door was already peeling off. * They use a very strong diffuser scent in the public areas, which I found quite unpleasant. * No bath towels were provided; they only offered one size of towel.

The hotel is conveniently located about 2.4km from the airport and offers breakfast. It's a typical budget business hotel often used by tour groups. The rooms are small, and it can get crowded, so the value for money isn't great. However, the front desk staff are very friendly and helpful, always ready to answer questions and provide directions to tourist attractions after looking them up online. It's also about a 20-minute drive to the Olle Trail, accessible via subway line 16.

The overall experience is good. For the price paid it has all the basic amenities. There was no air conditioning in the room, but had electric blanket to warm you up at night. The only problem is there is no locker to safe your belongings and the room is not locked during the night, so apart from it it’s not bad overall. Very basic accommodation.

Everything was clean, from the front desk to the room. The back parking lot offers an ocean view, and the room offers a great view of the ocean as well. The proximity to the ocean makes for a great walk, and there's a 24-hour convenience store just a three-minute walk away.
