Hostels σε Jeju Province, South Korea

"First off, I was traveling solo and found that most hotels and guesthouses were quite expensive, making it not worth it for just one person. I then stumbled upon this Sum hotel on Xiaohongshu, and it looked pretty clean and hygienic – which it truly was in reality! ¹**Location:** Right outside the hotel, there's a bus stop and a long-distance bus station, which is incredibly convenient for getting around. I used the public bus for all my transportation during my stay. ²**Environment:** The ground floor has a lobby with a kitchen, a restroom, and seating. I found it to be very clean, with no unpleasant odors. The room itself was standard, and the bathroom also had no weird smells. The shower area and where you change shoes are clearly separated, which is great. ³**Check-in & Amenities:** Check-in is only available in the afternoon, but it's a straightforward process. They'll clearly explain the rules and provide you with detailed key and password information. Breakfast is served from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and I thought it was pretty good – toast, eggs, and free coffee! Excellent! The second floor is where the rooms are located. I stayed in a 6-bed dormitory with bunk beds. The bed frame was a bit old and creaked a little, but it wasn't overly exaggerated. One minor downside is that other guests' schedules might differ from yours, so you might get disturbed. It's even worse if you end up with a snorer! I'd recommend bringing an eye mask and earplugs. The staff were all very enthusiastic. You need to change into slippers before entering the room; they provide them, but if you're a germaphobe, you might want to bring your own. The shower area is wet/dry separated. I didn't use their towels, so you might want to bring your own. The common area has a large mirror, and there are hair dryers and curling irons available, which is super convenient."

"The landlady, though couldn't speak even a single Engish word, was really friendly and supportive. The room and public amenities were all very clean and spacious. It's located in the center of Jeju city, 15 mins by bus from Jeju international airport, and you can find it right on the big road. You can walk to the markets, shopping malls, and lighthouses nearby. Really worth the money."

"The service is good here. The room was cleaned before I checked in. However, the toilet was not airy, so a strange smell appeared the next morning. Still, my friends and I had a peaceful night and a good night's sleep after a long day."

"This is a very standard hotel. I booked a panoramic room that was supposed to offer both sea and city views, but in reality, it only had a city view. There's no point in paying extra for a panoramic room. There's no front desk; it's self-check-in."

"Very welcoming staff members, and the owner was very friendly and conversational. And a cute, quiet dog who enjoys watching you eat breakfast! The Included breakfast is an egg and jam sandwich with coffee/juice. Funny combination for the sandwich, but nice to have a classic Korean breakfast. The kitchen provides crockery and utensils. It has a sink for washing up (everyone must clean up after themselves), cooking facilities (hob), a microwave, water dispenser (hot and cold), and a kettle. They also played the World Cup matches on the TV and music throughout the day. The kitchen closes at 11PM (including the seating area). The bedroom was decent. The mattress, blanket and pillow were alright. The beds creaked a bit and the curtains had a bit of a gap at the top, letting light in. But no huge issues. There is AC in the bedrooms so it’s not too hot. The guesthouse was quite empty when I was there, so the 2 toilets and 3 showers were plenty. With body wash, shampoo, a small towel and a hair dryer provided. The quiet curfew & lights off at 11PM were politely and timely conducted each night. No drying hair after this time, but you can still shower if you’re quiet. The movie every evening on the terrace/rooftop was slightly hard to see because it gets projected onto the wall. But it’s a cute concept. Although, no one was out there apart from the mosquitos, so I only stayed a few minutes and can’t review the experience fully. There is a 7-eleven right next door, which is very convenient. And a GS25 just across the road. The guesthouse is also relatively close to Yongduam Rock and Yongyeon Pond, which are nice scenic spots. There are lots of tour groups at sunset, so maybe avoid those crowds if you can, although it is very beautiful at sunset! Overall, a very pleasant stay!"

"Located right next to the Jeju Bus Terminal, the location is excellent, with many airport bus lines nearby. It's somewhat like a hostel; check-in is simple. Eating and smoking are not allowed in the rooms. There's a common dining area in the lobby with an electric kettle, basic tableware, and internet access. Free hot and cold water is provided. Check-out is straightforward; just leave the key at the front desk. The facilities are a bit basic. The bathroom light broke the next day; it was repaired in the morning and fixed in the afternoon. The refrigerator's temperature control switch was faulty and fell off, causing it to stop cooling for the first two days. After some troubleshooting, it finally worked. There were no sheets, only a mattress pad; is this typical for Korean hotels? The room's heating system likely uses underfloor heating, as the air conditioner didn't blow hot air, but there was a temperature control for the underfloor heating, making the room very warm. For tourists with modest expectations, this is a good choice, and the price is reasonable."

"Really enjoyed my stay, great central location, very friendly family owners including English speaking daughter :) I recommend!"

"Good boss, and fun staff. The sunset lounge, The disadvantage is that breakfast time is a little short And the location is about 15 minutes walk from the bus stop to go by bus But I could see the sea right in front of me and the scenery was so good."

"Although the location is a bit far from the city center, the sea view is stunning. There are also convenience stores and great food options nearby, which is very convenient. The room amenities are also well-stocked. I would definitely consider staying here again."

"Book this place for my biking trip on Jeju. Near the beach and harbor. Places to eat nearby. Host was nice and helpful. Breakfast is from 8-9. There is a patio area on the second floor. Communal baths have multiple stalls."
