    Only small towels provided. (Would be nice to have a few large towels) Parking lot outdoor is not available. Have to use elevator to park the car.

    We like the space of the room, and it comes with kitchenette so we can heat up food or do light cooking. Location is strategically located in the heart of Seogwipo. Walking distance to Olleh Everyday Market (about 7 - 10 mins).

    I think they can consider asking the staff to park the cars instead. Staff was annoyed at me driving slowly into the elevator as I was unfamiliar.

    I liked the view facing the sea The counter staff was very friendly. I am also impressed by the counter staff on duty, he was able to fulfil my request though the water tank broke, bringing him great stress. The garden and tree around and nearby the hotel were very beautiful. The street and the market nearby was full of interesting shops with dessert,soft toys and food.

    There is no waiting area for drop-off and pick-up. The entry for CU is not user friendly to foreigner, ie it does not accept foreign credit card. The instructions for washer & dryer should include English.

    Room is big and spacious. The day shift staffs (reception & restaurant) are friendly and helpful. Breakfast offers good variety and is value for money. Walking distance to Seowipo Olle Market.

    not much human interaction as it’s automated self checked-in hard to get information from reception as most times it was un-manned calling house-keeping at night can be frustrating too as no one seem to pick up calls

    for the location as its within Walking distance to 1) Seogwipo Olle market but the up-slope walk from hotel towards market can be challenging for seniors ; 2) Lee Jung Seop Art street; and 3) also a short drive to Cheonjiyeon & Jeongbang waterfalls

    The only complaint I have is that the beds were so firm that I literally woke up in pain every morning.

    The location was great. Convenient for places to dine, short distance to various adventures (beaches, waterfalls, museums, parks, temples and so on). The room we had for my family of six great.

    One complaint we have which could be fixed for future guests is that the curtains are very thin and when the sun comes up the room is very bright early in the morning. If you are a light sleeper like my wife and I, this is very disturbing. I travel all over the world and have stayed in hundreds of hotels, and all hotels have curtains that block the daylight so that you can get a good night sleep. Most rooms have day curtains and thicker curtains for sleeping. I hope you can consider improving the curtains in the room so that we may have a more relaxed and enjoyable visit next time. Also, the shower door in our room (1105) did not close properly. This needs to be fixed.

    Spacious room with good facilities like large fridge.

    The breakfast can be improved and we will enjoy better sleep if the curtains are thicker but the stay was great overall.

    The staffs are way too nice and helpful and the rooms with sea views are amazing.

    The hotel in general was shabby for the price we paid. We didn’t have towels when we arrived and had to go to reception to ask for some, but reception isn’t manned at all times, so you have to try to get someone’s attention somehow. The towels were then taken everyday and not replaced so again, down to reception, etc. Bed was ok, pillows were not, had to ask for another one as I personally like to have a bit of comfort in my pillows, not just almost flat. The decor in my daughters room was dreadful, big scratches on the floor in different areas. The bathroom and toilet were a good size, nice shower too. No hangers in wardrobes, no iron either. Hairdryer was ‘meh’. The actual size of the room was good, with the added extra of the kitchen, although, why there was a kitchen when the preparation of food is prohibited! No pots, pans, glasses, but there was a kettle and a mug each! No cutlery or plates either. The door lock on my daughters room intermittently worked, again a visit to reception was made, twice in the same night as the card key wouldn’t work, in the end the receptionist came with me to try to understand what I was talking about, then it was sorted. The next night the same thing happened, but because it was after midnight there was no one on reception, so daughter was trying to open the door herself and eventually it worked. The car park is really annoying to get into as you have to drive past the hotel and then turn round in the (narrow) road and come back down the hill again. Car spaces are limited to if you’re there too late there won’t be any left. The lad working in the car park was nice and helpful though. All in all I would think twice about staying here. There was not ‘hot bath’ which we thought was possibly a hot tub instead of a pool. There were washing machines and dryers to use for payment, but these were in view of everyone in the reception too.

    It was ok. There was obviously Korean food, but also cereal, waffles and bread. The accompaniments to the waffles, etc, ran out quickly and were not replaced (the cream especially) Helped yourself to coffee, Mike and juices -(milk & juices on the sign)
