Hotel the Grang Jungmun

Jungmun Seogwipo|0.69km from Ripley's Believe it or Not
The hotel's location is very close to restaurants, so it was easy to walk around. There is also a convenience store a short walk nearby. The entrance to the hotel may be a bit confusing for novice drivers, but it is not difficult to enter slowly as it is an area where there are not many cars. When driving at night, the entrance is hard to see, so it's a bit overwhelming. The parking lot had ample space for more than 10 cars. In terms of hotel service, I really liked the manager's welcome and kind and detailed explanation as I entered the hotel lobby. Above all, the bed and bedding in the room were very comfortable and comfortable. Your reservation for a good night's sleep is guaranteed. I don't know about anything else, but if you go on vacation and the bed is uncomfortable, you can't sleep well, and as an extension of that, if you accumulate fatigue, the trip is ruined, but here, I slept very well and relieved all my fatigue. Meals are available in the cafeteria on the first floor, and there is a separate table outside the hotel entrance, so it was great to enjoy breakfast or coffee. There were very few diners, so I was able to enjoy it leisurely, and the menu included white bread, morning bread, strawberry jam, cream cheese, juice, milk, coffee, boiled eggs, etc. I am very satisfied with the simple yet convenient breakfast menu. Next time I have a chance to stay in Jungmun, I think it would be okay to visit here again.

The Shilla Jeju

Jungmun
Very good hotel! The environment is beautiful. The hotel has a path that leads directly to the beach. Because the hotel is on a cliff, there are many and steep steps. But it’s very convenient~ The hotel's service is very good, the staff speaks English very well and is very easy to communicate with! In addition, you can take bus 600 directly from the airport to the hotel, which is very convenient. I like the Chinese area very much and will stay there next time~

The view and room condition were perfect.. The time I enjoyed snacks and cocktails while watching live performances in the pool, the beautiful outdoor scenery of the hotel was impressive. I had crustacean allergies, and I had allergies while I was eating lobster in the pool, and I had to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. I washed the water in my swimsuit and hurried out to the lobby, but the man in the suit looked really attentive. I took a taxi and went out to the city to buy medicine, and in the end, it was solved well. After that, the attention to me came to me, remembering my face, and asking if I was okay the next morning. The front desk staff also received me very kindly, and we visited for special reasons, and we were grateful for the part that caught me and helped me enjoy good benefits. Overall, the staff at the hotel were warm and friendly, so if you visit Jeju Island with your family again, this is a place you definitely want to remember and come back.

I have stayed in so many hotels with my children. We have never lost anything at any hotel in China. I accidentally lost my child's dental retainer here, as well as more than 3,000 defocused glasses. The retainer is transparent, so it’s understandable that it was taken off during breakfast and thrown away as trash. The glasses were placed on the chair when I went to the swimming pool at 6:30 in the evening, but I didn't see them when I left at 7 o'clock. After a while, I no longer remembered running back. Went to the front desk for help and asked the pool staff the next day but they said no. No one was willing to help search. We once checked out of the Kaiyuan Mingdu Hotel in Inner Mongolia and found that we couldn't find our watch. The staff there went to the linen room to find the watch among the sheets to be washed and returned it to us. The staff here felt like they just wanted to get rid of us as soon as possible. There are very few foreign guests in the hotel, and it is difficult for the staff to communicate in English. This hotel is not recommended for non-Korean speaking guests.

I came to one of the Jeju Hotels with my brother. One hotel is in the center of the Chinese tourist complex. It is right next to Shilla Hotel and Lotte Hotel. It is a hotel that can be recommended at a good value for money in the best location. I stayed in twins and there are two double beds. There is also a big window, so the view is good. I share photos.

Jungmun
The suite rooms are larger and have modern facilities. The courtyard swimming pool has a constant temperature and is connected indoors and outdoors. The children have a lot of fun. The swimming pool and kids club are open until 10pm, which is very convenient. The top-floor swimming pool is beautiful, but it does not accept children under 19 years old, which is a bit disappointing. The Italian restaurant is not recommended. The food in the buffet restaurant is good but relatively expensive. You can have light meals by the pool. English communication is barrier-free and all service staff are friendly. The children's club courses are only in Korean and not in English. This is not good because children cannot attend classes. The hotel has a convenience store, which is affordable. The entire hotel is Korean, and there are basically no Chinese, European or American people. Overall good reviews
The Suites Hotel Jeju

Jungmun
The location is adjacent to Shilla Hotel in Jungmun Tourist Complex. They say it's 5 stars, but the facilities are a bit old, and especially The smell from the diffuser in the hallway on the first floor was really strong and gave me a headache. I went to a restaurant for dinner and it smelled like that too... Now I know why there's no one in the restaurant I stayed in a family terrace room and requested breakfast on a private terrace. I chose this hotel to eat, and the photos are really nice. But the tablecloth is so dirty. Why replace it? I don't know why you don't do it. The room itself is spacious, but the bathroom feels old. Looks like it needs renovation... However, compared to a 5-star hotel, the price is cheap at around 150,000 won per night. I admit everything and have no intention of visiting again.
