Hotel Yeon

This hotel is by far the best I’ve stayed at in Korea. The location was fantastic, and the best part was the ocean view. Waking up to see the beautiful blue sea first thing in the morning was truly amazing. Sitting on the balcony with a cup of Nespresso coffee was unbeatable compared to any other hotel experience. They delivered a breakfast basket to my door in the morning, and it was great. The staff were incredibly friendly, and when I asked about how clean everything was, they mentioned the hotel had been recently redone. If I come back to Jeju, I will definitely stay here again. You should try this hotel—you’ll see what I mean

There's lots to like about this place! It is conveniently located within walking distance to tasty restaurants, bars, famous market, local shops, and the boat that takes you around the bay. The view from our room/balcony was beautiful, the room and its amenities were confortable and convenient, and we truly appreciated (and enjoyed!!) the breakfast basket every morning sitting outside our door. Water pressure was good and we were pleasantly surprised to have a nice speaker in the room to enjoy music and a glass of wine. Ah! different from other hotels, the mini-fridge was packed with goodies and non-alcoholic drinks that were free. The mini-fridge was replenished daily which was a plus! Customer service was amazing and the staff was quick to provide recommendations and directions when/if needed. Keep in mind that the hotel is located a good hour or so from the airport. This did not bother us but it is something you must consider, especially when making plans for your return flight.

The ocean view room was fabulous! The view was fantastic after the sea fog cleared. The room was so much more than a hotel room, with a record player and speaker, plenty of bench space, a comfortable office chair, and colouring in pencils (complete with electric sharpener) for art creation. You felt very looked after with plenty of water, juice and treats. The coffee from a pod machine was exceptional quality and the breakfasts were quirky but extremely nice. Downstairs undercover parking was very convenient. We had four nights on the island and stayed at Hotel Yeon for three, and had one in Jeju City. If I were to come again I would spend the four nights at Hotel Yeon. There is so much to see around the area. While it was not a washing machine/dryer, the clothes steamer refreshed our clothes sufficiently so they could be reworn. It was a handy machine to have access to in your room!

Wonderful location for the town and small harbour below, and if you get a sea view room it's worth it. Our room was quite compact but there are some lovely retro touches (record player, no TV, decor). Breakfast was a novelty, provided in a little basket outside the bedroom door at 8am.. The room has an amazing clothes steriliser/refresher which we rather liked and used. Also a good coffee machine. So you get a lot for your money. Staff very friendly and eager to please. We very much enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend. We stayed 4 nights. There are lots of restaurants within walking distance (we recommend Seabong for a bit of Western food) and it's a nice walk down to the harbour. Nothing we didn't like but to enhance the room experience hooks are needed to hang up clothes and coats. We struggled to find places to put clothes during our 4 night stay.. Also only one chair and low table so eating breakfast one person must perch on the bed. Not great.

This is a small boutique kind of hotel that gives a very nice retro but yet modern feel. It doesn’t have much facilities but what’s in the room was impressive. We normally don’t come across a hotel room that has a vinyl record player, and old 70’s telephone, a wonderful speaker you can connect to and a clothes steriliser. There’s also a journey you can write on regarding your adventure in Jeju island and it was nice to see other guests’ comments. Our room had a nice sea view with a balcony that you can just sit and enjoy the scenery while sipping your coffee/tea. The breakfast provided was in a nice little picnic basket delivered to your room in the morning. They provided cereal, bread, eggs and the famous Jeju tangerine. In Jeju it’s better to rent a car as distance to most tourists attract is rather far. The parking space at the hotel is sufficient. The only thing with the hotel is the location. There are some restaurants nearby. There’s also a convenient store and laundromat just around the corner (3 min walk). The location is in Seogwipo, which is on the opposite side of where the main city is so going to the airport is around 50-60 min drive (depending how fast you go on a single lane winding road). All in all, we love this hotel and would certainly consider staying here again.
