The size of thevroom

The bed and pillow are hard to sleep in. Pillow is too flat and mattress very bouncy

Very good location.

Not enough parking places, staff speaks poor English. Facilities are very poor. Time for renovation.

Clean and affordable. People mentioned to towel situation. They do give many face towels so this was not an issue for me, but it is indeed strange not to have big towels. Room was clean, staff was great. A bit far from the bus station. Close to a great bbq place

Nothing

The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, the view was nice,location was good, the room was clean. I paid 150€ for 2 nights for two people (incl. breakfast) and I thinke the price was alright.

The breakfast was extremely average, bathroom door didnt have a lock, there was no bigger towels(asked the reception and they said that there isnt any), hotel was a bit dated. If I had paid the original, non-discounted price of 450€, I would have felt ripped off

The room was very spacious however it was quite run down (especially the flooring and bathrooms) and had that strong musty smell. Awesome location and short stroll to Olle Market and other eateries. We booked this place for the location, room size and the coin laundry in the lobby which proved to be very handy!

The towel situation (no bath towels), only a handful of crustacean smelling hand towels provided.

The room was huge!! We had a cute little ocean view too!! Parking garage was very useful!

NO TOWELS - hotel only provided small hand towels despite saying they had towels in the facilities section. The carpet was also dirty and the AC was broken.

The location is amazing! Short walk to local cafes, restaurants and also Olle Market

It oversee the harbour.

Bathing towel was not available.

Location was wonderful, with many Seogwipo attractions nearby. Staff was kind and helpful. Amenities in the room were fantastic, I wish I stayed longer to be able to use them.

The bed wasn't my preferred comfort, but was still able to get a rested night's sleep.

No bath towel provided

It was the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in, despite my high expectations. I ended up checking out two days early because I couldn’t bear to stay any longer. Although I had booked two rooms for my family, we left early, resulting in a total loss of 4 non-refundable days.

Everything 1. The rooms were far from clean. The floor was covered in dust, the mirrors were stained, and there was hair on the bed sheets, clearly from a previous guest. They don't change the sheets regularly, and when I requested fresh ones because I have a baby and need to maintain hygiene, the staff member said she had to check if it was the scheduled day for changing sheets. We waited about 15 minutes while she consulted her boss. There were no cleaning supplies available either. The staff didn't clean the floors, and when we asked for something to clean or dry the wet floor, the reception told us they don't offer any such items. Instead, they suggested we use the towels meant for drying guests' bodies to clean the floor! We ended up buying cleaning supplies ourselves to deal with the dust. To top it off, we saw another family with a baby also complaining about the lack of hygiene, showing the staff a dust-covered tissue and asking to early check out. 2. You can't cook or have a BBQ at this hotel, despite misleading photos on their website. There is an induction stove in the room, but when you arrive, there's a sign above it saying you're not allowed to use it. There are no kitchen utensils or pans provided either. In the site's Q&A section, someone asked if they could cook, and the hotel replied, "The room you reserved can be cooked in, and the cooking utensils are provided." This is completely false. They allow cooking to some rooms and dont allow to others. 3. The hotel also falsely advertises a BBQ area. When I asked about it, the receptionist simply said, "You can't use it," with no explanation. When I pressed further, she said you would have to reserve the entire rooftop for ₩350,000 (about $300) just to BBQ your own food. Who in the world does that? Additionally, almost everything is locked.

Location was pretty good near market. Rooms were big and quiet

The only towels given were small face towels. Hangers only 1 per person. Staff would answer questions when asked but were overall cold. Hotel was a tad old

Huge and Nice Room, within walking distance to Olie Market, many shops and restaurants around, Suitable for family to long stay

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).

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.
