This was my second stay at Jeju Oriental Hotel, and I’m even more impressed this time around! Right next to the coastline, the hotel offers stunning sea views from the rooms—perfect for relaxing mornings. Just across the street is a huge Emart where you can grab snacks, drinks, daily essentials, and great souvenirs without having to go far. On the ground floor, there’s a convenience store and a Starbucks—ideal for that morning caffeine boost. Everything else you’d want—shopping streets, local markets, amazing food spots—is within walking distance. No need to worry about transportation; everything is so accessible. The location, comfort, and convenience make this hotel an absolute standout. If you’re visiting Jeju, this is definitely one of the best choices.
We stayed at the hotel with our family of three, including our 3-year-old kid. Upon check-in, we were informed that the double room couldn’t accommodate three guests and required an upgrade to a triple room at an additional cost—so if you're booking for a family, it’s worth confirming the room type in advance. The rooftop garden is a real highlight—beautifully designed, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing or even smoking (which is allowed there). Cleanliness was good overall, with attention to small details. The location is excellent—just a short walk from the main shopping street, with plenty of bus routes nearby, making it easy to get around the city. Whether you’re exploring local markets, dining out, or visiting attractions, everything is well-connected. Great value for families looking for convenience and comfort.
Staying in the Premier Family Twin room at Hotel With Jeju was a great experience. The room is spacious and surprisingly large for a family stay, with a private balcony perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. I did notice there's no bathtub, but since we were traveling with kids, it wasn't an issue. One thing to mention—during our December visit, there was no air conditioning, so we had to open the window for ventilation. However, the location more than makes up for it: walking distance to Heaven City, Emart, Lotte Mart, and Olive Young—all within 5–10 minutes. The 1616 room has only a door and no windows, which might be a concern for guests who prefer natural light or better airflow. Still, the overall value, convenience, and central location make this a top choice for families visiting Jeju. We’d definitely return.
Staying at Jeju Noblesse Hotel was an absolute highlight of my trip to Jeju. Right next to the airport, it’s just one bus stop away or a quick 2-minute ride by Uber—perfect for early flights or late arrivals. The room was spacious and beautifully designed, with a modern bathroom that felt luxurious. Everything was spotless, and I was pleasantly surprised by how soundproof the walls were—no noise from neighboring rooms at all. The staff went above and beyond with their friendly and helpful service, offering local tips and assistance whenever needed. Clean, convenient, and thoughtfully designed, this hotel delivers on every front. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Jeju.
Staying at Urban Island Hotel Jeju was a fantastic experience, especially for solo travelers like me who prefer convenience and independence. The self-check-in process was incredibly smooth—simple, quick, and hassle-free. Just remember to sign your name in English during check-in; otherwise, the system might flag it. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: literally minutes from the airport, making early morning flights stress-free. Right outside, you’ll find popular local spots like the famous potato rib soup restaurant and BHC fried chicken—perfect for a late-night snack or casual dinner. There’s also an ABC Mart nearby, great for grabbing essentials or souvenirs. Everything is within walking distance, and the vibe is super laid-back yet modern. With excellent value, a prime location, and a no-fuss stay, I’d definitely come back here on my next trip to Jeju.
Staying at Gallery Hotel BnB was an absolute highlight of my trip to Jeju! The location is unbeatable—just a 2-minute walk from the airport, and everything you need is right outside.

A short 200-meter stroll takes you straight to Bokjeong Road pedestrian street, packed with local shops, trendy boutiques, beauty salons, and delicious dining options. Plus, multiple bus stops are nearby, making it super easy to explore the island without relying on taxis. I loved how central and convenient this place was—it felt like having a home base that put me right in the heart of the action. If you’re visiting Jeju, this hotel should be your top pick.
Staying at Jeju Miracle Hotel was such a pleasant surprise! Even though I was traveling solo, the room felt spacious and cozy—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The bed was clean and comfortable, and the space itself felt fresh and well-maintained. On the first day, it was a bit chilly inside, and even with the AC set to 31°C, there wasn’t any heating. But once I turned off the air conditioning, it actually became more comfortable—probably because the weather had warmed up anyway. The location is fantastic: right next to a lively area with plenty of convenience stores, restaurants, and shops just a short walk away. There’s also a bus stop right outside, making it super easy to get around the city or head to the airport. The staff were incredibly friendly and spoke fluent Chinese, which made communication smooth and stress-free. Overall, this place offers great value and a welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I visit Jeju!
Staying at Sunland Hotel was a great experience! The restaurant right downstairs serves amazing grilled meat—perfect for a late-night bite. I arrived late due to an early morning flight and had booked the previous night’s stay, so I faced a few minor issues upon check-in. However, the staff handled everything calmly and efficiently, making the process stress-free. The location is super convenient—just a short ride from the airport and downtown. Everything about this hotel exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend it!
Staying at Island Stay Jeju was an absolute delight! The room was immaculately clean with a subtle, refreshing scent that made the space feel fresh and inviting. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the unique architectural design—bold, artistic, and truly eye-catching. It’s one of those places that stands out from the crowd without trying too hard.

The hotel is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the bus terminal and a supermarket, making daily errands super easy. I appreciated having access to a washing machine on-site, though I did need to bring my own detergent. The location is ideal for exploring Jeju City, with public transport and essentials right at your doorstep. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent value make this a top choice for travelers looking for comfort and convenience without the high price tag. Would definitely stay here again.
I had a fantastic one-night stay at Gil Pension to Gwaneumsa Temple in Jeju, perfectly set up for hiking Hallasan the next day. The place felt incredibly homely, thanks to the kind and caring halmeoni who runs it—her warmth made the whole experience special. The apartment is spotless, well-maintained, and very affordable, with basic amenities like shampoo, towels, and a kettle provided. Just remember to bring your own toothbrush, toothpaste, and body soap since only a half-used bar of soap is available, which might not be ideal for everyone. The location is a bit off the beaten path—while there’s a direct 10-minute bus ride to the trailhead, buses are infrequent, so checking schedules ahead of time is essential. I’d recommend taking a cab if you’re arriving late or heading out early. Also, dinner options are limited after 6–7 PM, so stocking up on food before arrival is wise. That said, when we arrived past 7 PM hungry and without a T-money card or Korean phone number to order food or call a taxi, the halmeoni was genuinely concerned and offered help despite her language barrier (she only speaks Korean). Her kindness went beyond expectations. It’s worth noting that luggage storage is available after checkout—very convenient for travelers with long itineraries. Overall, this is a hidden gem for hikers seeking a quiet, authentic, and stress-free base near Hallasan. Highly recommend for those looking for a peaceful, personal touch in their Jeju adventure.
The staff and housekeeping team were incredibly kind and attentive. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and very comfortable—exactly what I needed for a business trip. I’m already planning my next visit to Jeju and will definitely book here again. Great location, excellent service, and such a pleasant stay overall. Highly recommend!
