Mountain View Hotels in Seogwipo

Even though it's an older hotel, it's very well-maintained, and the rooms are cleaned promptly. The public areas are also quite nice. The check-in staff speak Korean and Chinese, and there are also Chinese-speaking staff available to answer questions. However, nearby dining options are a bit far and require a walk. The restaurants next to Lotte aren't very good and are a bit overpriced. The bread and desserts in the lobby are also delicious; if you go too late, some items are already sold out by locals, and they're not overly sweet. The red bean and chocolate ones are great, but the cream and butter sticks are just average. Getting to the beach requires going downhill, and due to the location, most hotels nearby have the same situation where you have to go down and then climb back up. Overall, it's good. Aside from not providing disposable toiletries, it's pretty much on par with hotels in Sanya, and the room rates aren't inflated.

Lotte Hotel is located in the heart of Seogwipo's resort area. From the moment we stepped out of the car, we were met with warm service and a relaxing, vacation vibe. Being a resort hotel, the rooms are incredibly spacious. We booked a family room this time, with one single and one double bed, and the single bed was even big enough for two people to sleep comfortably. One of the best things is that you can walk directly from the hotel to Jungmun Beach (though it's a 10-minute walk down some stairs). The hotel also has its own outdoor pool, which was great for the kids to splash around in. We could spend the whole day there, eating and drinking without ever leaving the pool. The changing rooms at the pool were also convenient for showering, and we even played there for a while after checking out. Right outside the hotel, there's a convenience store and a few restaurants. A 10-minute walk brings you to a McDonald's and more dining options. This whole area is a resort district with many hotels, so the roads and commercial areas are well-planned together, making for a pleasant and convenient environment. My only complaints were that we were only assigned a room on the 2nd floor (the front desk is on the 8th), and on our check-out day, they completely refused our request for a late check-out until 1 PM.

First, my initial thoughts: I was prepared for a 'prison-like' room before checking in, but staying here, I actually found the room small but cozy! Coupled with other advantages, the actual experience exceeded my expectations. Now, for the pros: 1. **Rich Community Facilities:** Besides the accommodation buildings, there's a standalone coffee shop, a standalone small bar (received a free beer voucher upon check-in), a GS25 convenience store (the female staff member was very friendly), a gift shop (at the front desk), and a breakfast/lunch restaurant (you can get a discount if you purchase breakfast at the front desk a day in advance). 2. **Excellent Location for Olle Trail 1:** It's very convenient for those doing Olle Trail Route 1. You can walk to Gwangchigi Beach, the starting point of Route 1, in about 10 minutes. 3. **Friendly Staff:** All the service staff were very friendly and could communicate well in English. 4. **Spacious Bathroom:** Although the room itself was small, the bathroom and shower area were quite spacious. 5. **Free Airport Shuttle:** This was an incredibly valuable service. I took the 10:30 AM shuttle to the airport. No reservation was needed, the bus arrived on time, and it took about an hour to reach the airport. Areas for improvement: 1. **Lack of Hooks in Room:** My room had no hooks, except for two small ones in the toilet. I suggest adding one more in the main room without taking up extra space (I saw some other smaller room types had them). 2. **Soap Dispenser Design:** The hand soap dispenser had a short pump, which was inconvenient to use when my hands were dirty. A longer nozzle would be much better. Overall, it was a very good stay. I would consider staying here again if I plan to do other Olle trails on the Seongsan side.

We were quite disappointed upon arrival. We had specifically booked a mountain view room, but were given a city view room with mountains in the distant background—a view that looked nothing like what was advertised in the hotel’s room listing. When we raised this with the front desk and showed them the discrepancy using a photo comparison (our view vs. the advertised one), we were told that the building had been constructed recently and the room photos hadn’t been updated. However, the buildings obstructing our view clearly appeared not to be new, making that explanation unconvincing. What was even more disappointing was the lack of any effort to rectify the situation. The hotel could have at least offered us an alternative room, even a cheaper one with partial sea and mountain views, but this wasn’t done. We ended up paying a premium for a view that didn’t meet expectations, and left feeling misled. Parking The listing stated free parking, but both nights, the hotel car park was full. We had to park in public areas, and one night, we ended up parking at the roadside due to a lack of space. As foreigners unfamiliar with Korean parking regulations, this caused unnecessary stress—we were worried about the risk of parking fines for potentially illegal parking. Other Concerns There seemed to be extra charges for everything. Only two complimentary bottles of water were provided each night. When we went to the lobby to ask for two paper cups, we were told we had to pay for them. Fortunately, this charge was waived—possibly because they were aware of our parking issue—but it still left a negative impression.

Hotel was in a convenient and good location. Parking spaces were ample. Room was simple yet very comfortable for the stay! Favourite thing was that it faced the sea and could possibly see the sun rise :)

A decent and comfortable stay. If there is not enough parking lot within the hotel, there is another parking space opposite the hotel. There is a washing machine within the room and the staff will give a free detergent pod if the stay is 3 nights and above. They also do provide a drying rack if required.

Nice hotel a little out of the way (you need a car). Super reasonable considering the area and within walking distance of a few nice mom and pop restaurants by the port. Swimming pool outside was nice and you can rent bikes etc from the reception. there is even a little convenience store In the foyer!

Good location, parking close by as well as some parking at the hotel. The rooms were clean (bathroom could do with a bit of renovation), comfortable and spacious. The cleaning is every 3 days but fresh water and towels given everyday. We had a kitchen in our room but no way of utalising it as there were no pots, pans or cutlery.

We had a great time on our family trip, staying in a renovated room. Everything was good, except for a bit of noise and commotion from a student group on a school trip. We'd definitely consider staying here again.

I love this location and this hotel is near to scenic spot , if you guys seen k drama this location looks like this .. but we don’t get food near buy nevertheless we walk in night and there are many restaurants for dinner and receptionist can speak English and they are helpful and they help to book taxi .. I recommend you to visit attaching few pics
