Seogwipo Kal Hotel

The views from the room were exceptional and the grounds are really well maintained. Good views of the ocean. The hotel is the final stop on the Jeju airport limousine bus service, which gets you to and from the airport for KRW 5500 (approx £3-£3.50 which is great - and the buses all have free wifi. From the hotel you can visit a couple of the local landmarks, king amongst which is CheonJiyeon waterfall. In reality to make the most of what Jeju has to offer (from this side of the island at least) you’ll want to rent a car but you’ll need an international driving permit to rent one, so plan ahead!

Our visit was during the Covid 19 outbreak so some facilities weren’t available - limited restaurant menu etc. Which obviously isn’t the hotel’s fault, however the gym facilities cost extra, and the limited menu was absolutely extortionate. A side of fries was priced at KRW 20,000 which is about £12, at least 3X what you’d expect to pay even in expensive places in the UK. I’d recommend looking elsewhere for food, but there is much less English than you’ll find in Seoul so be prepared to take a risk on what looks good! Overall it’s a good hotel but the expectations we had given that it is a 5* hotel were above what we found during our stay.
