"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."
"A very beautiful and minimalist resort. Although it feels a bit old, the rooms are still in good condition 👍 The receptionist was very kind and gave us a room with a first-row ocean view, allowing us to watch the sunset directly from the balcony 🌄 – so blissful 😍 Even though it's only on the first floor, the view is still great!
Two Japanese-style mattresses, a master bedroom, two bathrooms, and a kitchenette. Booking through Trip.com only cost around NT$4300, which is quite cheap even without breakfast! Building A has a free sauna until 9 pm, and Building B has a game room and restaurant (opens at 7 pm). Two kinds of pizza and two kinds of fried chicken 🍗 cost around NT$2000, which was more than enough for three people 👍
It's a four-minute drive from Seopjikoji and a ten-minute drive from Seongsan Ilchulbong Peak."
"Great stay at Best Jeju Seongsan. The location is very convenient, close to Seongsan Ilchulbong and other attractions. The room was clean and comfortable, and the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, a good place to stay when visiting Jeju."
"First, my initial thoughts: I was prepared for a 'prison-like' room before checking in, but staying here, I actually found the room small but cozy! Coupled with other advantages, the actual experience exceeded my expectations.
Now, for the pros:
1. **Rich Community Facilities:** Besides the accommodation buildings, there's a standalone coffee shop, a standalone small bar (received a free beer voucher upon check-in), a GS25 convenience store (the female staff member was very friendly), a gift shop (at the front desk), and a breakfast/lunch restaurant (you can get a discount if you purchase breakfast at the front desk a day in advance).
2. **Excellent Location for Olle Trail 1:** It's very convenient for those doing Olle Trail Route 1. You can walk to Gwangchigi Beach, the starting point of Route 1, in about 10 minutes.
3. **Friendly Staff:** All the service staff were very friendly and could communicate well in English.
4. **Spacious Bathroom:** Although the room itself was small, the bathroom and shower area were quite spacious.
5. **Free Airport Shuttle:** This was an incredibly valuable service. I took the 10:30 AM shuttle to the airport. No reservation was needed, the bus arrived on time, and it took about an hour to reach the airport.
Areas for improvement:
1. **Lack of Hooks in Room:** My room had no hooks, except for two small ones in the toilet. I suggest adding one more in the main room without taking up extra space (I saw some other smaller room types had them).
2. **Soap Dispenser Design:** The hand soap dispenser had a short pump, which was inconvenient to use when my hands were dirty. A longer nozzle would be much better.
Overall, it was a very good stay. I would consider staying here again if I plan to do other Olle trails on the Seongsan side."
"I love this location and this hotel is near to scenic spot , if you guys seen k drama this location looks like this .. but we don’t get food near buy nevertheless we walk in night and there are many restaurants for dinner and receptionist can speak English and they are helpful and they help to book taxi .. I recommend you to visit attaching few pics"
"The room size is perfect for solo travellers! What I really like is that it is conveniently located near Seongsan Ilchulbong within a 10 minutes walking distance. It is also close to Seopjikoji too :)
Have many good eateries and convenient stores around so you don't have to worry about food.
The room seemed a little old where you can see the painting and some of the furniture chipping off. The walls are quite thin so sometimes it can be quite noisy if there are new guests moving in. Overally still a good stay!"
"Excellent value! Luxury vibes with plenty of parking spaces. Direct view of Udo Island from the room, and excellent viewpoint of Seongsan Ilchulbong near entrance of the hotel."
"The bed was perfectly clean and the people at the reception were nice and friendly. There was dinner to buy, but mostly spicy food. And we bought a really good breakfast.
There is underfloor heating in the room. There is a convenience store and a kitchen to use. The area is lovely and quite."
"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."
"Parking is limited and a bit difficult to maneuver. The front desk staff were quite helpful. The hotel had a pleasant, welcoming scent upon entry, which was nice. There's no water dispenser, but two bottles of water are provided. The shower stall doesn't have a door, so be careful of water leaking out (you might need to lay down a towel). The bed is on the firmer side, and there's a mattress protector under the sheets, which was a bit uncomfortable. There was also a small leak from the ceiling near the Tiandi Yuan area."

AAnonymous UserEven 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.
SSuzie W -文珍Hotel is quite nice! Restaurants downstairs are pretty good!
Almost a perfect stay till the last night (25 Apr) we went into the Jaju store at the basement, one of the lady shop assistant was the only rude person i have met in my whole jeju trip, she's showing a poker face, maybe because its almost closing time, we started to take clothes to fitting room, totally no clue even we tried our best to speak to her, she seems not able to understand English at all. Even when we were at cashier, she was still keeping her poker face poker, quite upset for this part 🥲
Other than that, hotel service and room equipment are pretty good, love it 👍🎉🎉🎉
GGuest UserThis is by far the best ocean-view hotel I've ever stayed in. In one word: amazing, in two words: perfect, in three words: absolutely unbeatable! You definitely get what you pay for, and it's totally worth it! The infinity pool and the incredible coastline perfectly capture the essence of this island 🏝️. It's such a chill vacation vibe!
AAnonymous UserReally nice hotel. Our room was huge ! The rooftop pool is heated and is great after a long day of exploration.
Location is good, 10min walk from the market and the waterfall.
The only thing is that we required no service and the housekeeper still came and did only one bed out of 2, the next day one of the bathrobes belt was gone which is a bit weird..
I added breakfast one mornging and it was ok. Maybe more continental options would be good (bacon, cheese,etc)
The staff is very helpful and really nice .
MMary vacationPlace was good and we could park the car well. The parking garage manager was really kind. The hotel has 7 eleven downstairs and also a laundry room if you pay (the wasmachine is really big so you could drop all your clothes at the end of the stay). The only little problem is the room is a bit small. We had quit big suitcases so if you bring big suitcases, book a bigger room or be smart when packing. The location is really nice only 2 minutes from the market and so many food options around the hotel!
카카말아스가르I went to ICC Jeju for GCIM 2025 conference. This hotel is just 10 minutes walking distance from the ICC. The staff is very cooperative and kind. He can also speak English. The room service and cleaning fascilities are best 👍.
사사곡사곡Had a quiet and relaxing stay. Although there were some water stains and hairs on the bathroom floor, it was good enough for a quiet and spacious rest. When I mentioned that the juice was spoiled at breakfast, the staff tasted it, then just walked away without a word and brought a new bottle of juice, telling me to pour it myself... No apology whatsoever. ^^;;
AAnonymous UserThe hygiene was surprisingly good, which was a pleasant surprise. There wasn't much in the way of service, but honestly, we didn't really need any. The breakfast restaurant staff spoke Chinese in the kitchen, and the breakfast itself was on par with, or perhaps even worse than, pre-made dishes you'd find in China. Definitely don't bother booking it.
GGuest UserA highly recommended hotel. Excellent location, clean rooms, laundry service available. Convenient to nearby attractions. 6 minutes from Olai Market. Staff speak good English. Good reading material. You can also take photos and check in at the Orange Cafe (close to the bus).
KKai Szetoroom was clean and spacious for 3 adults. if driving, free parking available and self check in/out through a machine at the carpark lobby. Bottles of water provided every day based on number of pax.
location is good, with a nearby local market with plenty of food. quite centralised, distance to hallim/ udo/ gapado are averaged 1hr drive away.
Downside: there was only small face towels in the room, no normal big size towels. Probably bring your own towels.
overall: will come back! good sea views
