2-Star Hotels in Jeju City

My friend and I stayed here for two nights during our three-day trip to Jeju, after seeing recommendations online that it was run by Chinese owners. The hotel is conveniently located near the city center, making it easy to get around, and it's less than a ten-minute walk to Shilla Duty Free. The hotel is incredibly clean; even the water stains in the bathroom were perfectly removed, and all the nooks and crannies were thoroughly cleaned. You'd never guess it's an older hotel. They provide power strips, so you don't need to bring your own adapter. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, combs, and even skincare products are all supplied. The price is also very reasonable, and the owner is lovely and kind. Luggage storage is very convenient. I would definitely come back again! 🫶

Women only guesthouse. The sense of safety is worth the price. It’s not difficult to list what it to be loved about the place. Comfortable bedding, luggage storage before and after check in if you have a late flight, relaxing space on the first floor, cleanliness. The complimentary breakfast made by the staff is above standards. I’m so grateful to be able to taste seaweed clam soup and Korean rice, and making your own eggs. But there are also options of bread and butter, and cereal. Fresh coffee, tea and water are also provided. At the end of the day it is a shared space and not always perfect in regards to noise, sometimes it can be noisy after 11pm. But the girls I stayed with were very nice and majority of times are open to chatting and communicating regards to lights out times. There was an incident with one staff member in the morning who wore black headphones, pink loungewear and had dark glasses. She was a bit rude regards to surroundings and almost hit me while opening the upper cupboard doors and fridge. Later, she was also disrespectful to another Chinese guest who wanted to ask a question at the front desk. Aside from this I truly enjoyed my stay here in central Jeju, and found it very comfortable and had decent privacy with the curtains. The guests were overall very respectful and I had the pleasure to meet nice people. I look forward to staying here again if I visit Jeju again.

Clean, quiet and compact bedsit. We booked this room because we wanted to stay on the west side of the island and enjoy a sea view, plus it had a small kitchen. However, the kitchen was a bit of a letdown, as you can only really cook noodles or something similar, there are restrictions on what you’re allowed to cook. Toiletries and plenty of towels provided. Walking distance to beaches, lots of nice restaurants and coffee shops nearby. Unfortunately the local bakery (practically next door) was closed the days we were there but it looked great! It’s close to a bus stop. You can get there by express bus from the airport, followed by a local bus. Although it’s a bit of a hassle on the smaller local buses if you have large suitcases. Short walk from the bus stop to the accom. The entrance and hallways are exceptionally clean with pretty plants and flowers lining the stairs. Nice to hear the sea and wake up to the view. Easy check-in. Reasonable price.

My stay at Jeju Emerald Hotel was very satisfying overall, and I would highly recommend it. Excellent Location: The hotel is located in the heart of Jeju City, about a 10-minute drive from the airport. It offers convenient access to shopping hotspots like Yeon-dong shopping street and Lotte Duty Free, making it ideal for both sightseeing and shopping. Spacious and Comfortable Rooms: The guest rooms are quite spacious compared to other hotels in downtown Jeju City. They are clean and bright, with comfortable bedding that ensures a good night's sleep. Some room types even have balconies, offering views of the Jeju city skyline or distant Hallasan Mountain. Great Service: The front desk staff were friendly and enthusiastic. Check-in and check-out procedures were handled efficiently, and they provided detailed answers to all my travel inquiries. The hotel also offers free parking, so self-driving guests don't have to worry about parking issues. Facilities and Dining: The hotel has a restaurant offering a diverse buffet breakfast with both Korean and Western options, and the food was quite good. The common areas were kept clean, and the overall environment felt relaxing and comfortable. Overall, this is a hotel with a convenient location, comfortable rooms, and attentive service. It offers great value for money and is an ideal choice for accommodation in Jeju, whether for business trips or family vacations.

My stay at this hotel has been very unpleasant. First, I felt like I was being judged based on my race. In the U.S., we don’t usually take off our shoes indoors, so I honestly forgot. I apologized, but the owner was rude and asked me if I was Chinese—which made me very uncomfortable. Second, I’m sensitive to noise. I asked to switch rooms because the air conditioner in my first room was too loud. In the second room, I could hear noise from upstairs. When I asked again, the owner said there were no rooms left and that I’d have to wait until tomorrow. Out of curiosity, I went to check the third room myself, but the owner watched me through cameras and said I was ”weird.” I don’t understand why I can’t even look around without being watched, especially when I wasn’t doing anything wrong. Lastly, there is some exercise equipment near the front desk. There’s no sign saying guests can’t use it, so I was curious and started using it. But the owner’s wife asked me, ”Why don't you go to the park to work out?”—implying that the equipment isn’t for guests. That felt really dismissive. Also, there is a camera in my room. I understand it might be for fire safety, but it still makes me feel uncomfortable—like I'm being watched. Overall, I’m just really upset by their attitude. 이 호텔에 묵는 동안 정말 불쾌한 경험을 했습니다. 첫째, 인종적으로 차별당하는 느낌을 받았습니다. 미국에서는 실내에서 신을 벗는 게 일반적이지 않아서 제가 깜빡하고 신을 벗지 않았어요. 사과드렸지만, 사장님이 무례하게 제게 ”중국인이냐”고 물으셨고, 그 점이 매우 불편했습니다. 둘째, 저는 소음에 예민한 편입니다. 첫 번째 방의 에어컨 소음이 너무 커서 방을 바꿔달라고 요청했고, 두 번째 방에서는 위층에서 소음이 들렸습니다. 다시 요청드리니 사장님은 빈 방이 없다며 내일까지 기다리라고 하셨습니다. 궁금해서 제가 직접 세 번째 방을 확인하러 갔더니, 사장님이 카메라로 지켜보다가 제가 ”이상하다”고 말씀하셨어요. 아무 잘못도 하지 않았는데, 왜 그냥 둘러보는 것조차 감시당해야 하는지 이해가 되지 않습니다. 마지막으로, 프런트 데스크 근처에 운동 기구가 있었습니다. 손님이 사용하면 안 된다는 표시가 없어서 궁금해서 사용해봤는데, 사모님이 ”공원에 가서 운동하지 그러세요?”라고 물으셨습니다—그 말은 손님은 이 기구를 쓰면 안 된다는 뜻으로 들렸습니다. 정말 무시당하는 기분이었어요. 그리고 방 안에도 카메라가 있습니다. 화재 안전을 위한 것일 수도 있다고 이해는 하지만, 그래도 계속 지켜보는 것 같아 불편합니다. 전체적으로, 그들의 태도에 정말 화가 납니다.

We booked a quad room, and it offered fantastic value for money! The room was impeccably clean and very spacious. The shower and other facilities were excellent. The staff at the front desk, especially the gentleman, was incredibly friendly and helpful. Housekeeping also did a superb job, keeping everything spotless. There are microwaves available on the second and fourth floors, and purified water dispensers on every floor for guests to use – truly a gem of a hotel! I'll definitely choose New Jeju Hotel again on my next trip to Jeju Island and highly recommend it to my friends. Its location is super convenient; it's very close to various shopping centers like E-Mart and Daiso, as well as Baojian-ro, and a wide array of restaurants including fried chicken, Jajangmyeon, hairtail fish, Korean beef, and black pork. Plus, there are three or four convenience stores nearby. You'll truly feel at home here, and it's absolutely superb value for money! ^_^

The room greatly exceeded my expectations. A CU convenience store is right at the doorstep, and the location isn't out of the way at all. The proximity to public transport is also a huge plus. The hotel also provides a microwave and water dispenser downstairs, so I never had to buy water during my outings. What's more, the hotel owner speaks Chinese! For this price, it offers excellent value. I'd definitely book this hotel again for a second trip to Jeju Island. The only minor issue was that the hairdryer in the room was broken; I hope it can be replaced soon. It's essentially a self-check-in hotel; upon evening arrival, you just find your key card with your name on it at the front desk.

Everything was clean, from the front desk to the room. The back parking lot offers an ocean view, and the room offers a great view of the ocean as well. The proximity to the ocean makes for a great walk, and there's a 24-hour convenience store just a three-minute walk away.

This place is honestly not as bad as the reviews make it seem. The room is your average Korean hostel room (no curtains tho). The bathroom is a bit messy but overall not dirty. The location is very convenient if you are planning to explore the island by bus. For the very little price paid, I would stay at this hostel again!
