Hotels near Saesum Park in Seogwipo

1. **Transportation:** I arrived in Jeju around 9 PM. It took about two hours to get to the hotel by airport shuttle bus, as it's located in Seogwipo City, quite a distance from the airport. The return journey by bus was more direct, taking about 1.5 hours with fewer stops. There's a bus station nearby. It's also a convenient 5-minute walk to Seogwipo Olle Market. 2. **Environment:** I booked a sea view room, and it was absolutely fantastic, exceeding my expectations! I could see distant islands, the harbor, and even the school below, offering an excellent view. 3. **Service:** There were many staff members at the front desk who could communicate in English. They were all very friendly! I highly recommend this hotel if you're planning to explore the south and east parts of Jeju Island. It's away from the city center, quiet, boasts great scenery, and offers excellent value for money! If I visit Seogwipo again, I'll definitely stay here. I've already recommended it to my friends.

We went with family and the room was really big. However, the facilities aren't exactly luxurious. It's probably pretty good for those who like to walk around, as there are many restaurants and tourist attractions nearby.

Had a really comfortable stay, comfortable beds, nice balcony out with washer available. Downside is the really late check in and early check out. Location was good as it was just about 5mins away from the airport busstop from/to airport. It had nice eateries nearby and 24/7 convenience stores so that was good. Generally shops around close pretty early. There are nearby busstops to many places but just take note of timings since lesser busses run with longer intervals. Note: if u have a luggages and coming before 3pm, please take lift from the carpark access and take up the L level for check in or luggage drop off as the escalators only work after 345pm (check in at 4pm) i had to carry up my huge luggage up the stairs….

The room and the property are very nice, the location is ok for some attractions, although a little far from most of the bars and restaurants. The service at this hotel is bizarre. They are incredibly strict about the check in and check out time, and quite rude, they welcome you with a very passive aggressive rules document which threatens several ways you can be fined or kicked out of the hotel, the bar/restaurant was closed 'forever' I was told, the elevator and corridors constantly have a smell like someone has farted in them. The breakfast food is poor, unseasoned and flavourless, even the butter is unsalted, poor selection, you have to compete with the staff for the best bits of the food as they eat in the restaurant at the same time and don't restock items, although they claim to do breakfast until 10 with last entry at 930, they tidy up around you at like 915 without asking if you're finished, and seem to expect you to clear your own table. If you put do not disturb in the morning they don't come clean later but just leave a carrier bag of towels outside, if you use they glassware in the room they don't clean it at all or replace it. Overall a very strange experience, maybe it's a cultural thing but from a western perspective this hotel has some of the worst service I've ever experienced, and I found it quite unwelcoming. For the money you'd be better off booking something from an American chain or similar.

This is my second time staying at Shin Shin Hotel Seogwipo. It's very well-located, near the bus stop, has many convenience stores within a 150m distance, close to cafes, restaurants, and Seogwipo Olle Market. I also love that there is a washing machine in every room. 🙌🏼 Moreover, they let me checkin a day late since I was stranded in Udo as ferry services between Udon and Jeju were suspended due to strong winds. I'd stay here again and again. 😃

The hotel itself was decent, and the location was good – the largest local market in Seogwipo was just a short walk away! However, first and foremost, the lack of a front desk upon check-in was incredibly inconvenient. It's a hotel, not a guesthouse! Secondly, while I can overlook the small room size, what I absolutely couldn't stand was that all the lights were touch-activated and would automatically turn off in less than ten minutes! I tend to shower slowly, and this became really awkward; halfway through my shower, the lights went out, and the touch panel wasn't even in the bathroom, but outside! It was also inconvenient when using the toilet. Honestly, I just don't understand this design! You can strive for energy efficiency, but not at the expense of guest experience and convenience, right?! The hotel staff seemed unaware of this design flaw, and perhaps Koreans aren't as vocal about feedback (unlike the Japanese, haha). In the morning, the hotel seemingly responsibly sent someone to inspect it, but after all that, they told me they found no problems! Yet, I felt like they didn't even understand the issues I was reporting, which sounds a bit ridiculous! The dining area was right there in front of me, but then I was told they weren't serving breakfast. I found that quite incomprehensible as well!

The room was clean and very spacious, with underfloor heating. Although the bathroom wasn't a wet/dry separation, it was very roomy, and the toiletries had a pleasant herbal citrus scent. The parking lot is next to the hotel; while not huge, it's easy to park, and we didn't have any issues finding a spot during our stay. The hotel is about a 15-20 minute walk from the Olle Market, mostly uphill. However, there are some small shops and art galleries along the way, which made the walk quite enjoyable and not too tiring.

We checked in very late at night at about 11pm and we had to change room twice before we finally got our room and settled down. First room, the bin was not cleared and there were used men underwear in the bin. It was not a very good experience especially for two girls. Made us feel like the room wasnt cleaned. We then went down to have our room changed. The receptionist who is so nice (in service) gave us a new room and new key. We went up and the key wasnt working. At this point we were already very exhausted. We went down again and informed her. She then gave us another room which we walked passed and coincidentally notice that it was DND before. She assisted us all the way up to the new room and opened the door for us. It seems fine but it was late so we quickly accepted it and checked in. Once we are settled we realized that the main door could not be locked from the inside. We settled in anyway because we didnt want to go through all the trouble and spoil our vacation. But on a lighter note, the receptionist is very nice and promot is trying to fix our issue. This place can do better.

Great stay overall. The hotel is in a quiet and convenient location, which made it very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, including the carpark staff. The room was well-maintained, though the carpet could have been cleaner. 2 minor issue was that the toilet light would occasionally switch off unexpectedly and window mesh are not sealed properly that caused the mosquito to fly in. Other than that, we had a pleasant experience.

Check in was seamless, there’s a self check in machine! Room was clean, came with all basic amenities. We had shower leak issue and it was quickly resolved after calling the front desk and they sent someone up immediately to replace the shower head. 👍🏻 The only downside is their parking lots are limited (& tight), and some nights we ended up parking at the nearby public multistorey carpark, they did offer to reimburse the fees but it was still a hassle.
