Jeju Hanok Hotel Hallagung

If you're looking for an authentic Korean stay, I highly recommend this place. The courtyard and room environment are excellent, and the breakfast I ordered was very satisfying. The front desk service was great; when we couldn't get a Didi (ride-hailing app), the kind grandmother at the front desk even used her own phone to help us call a taxi. The room we booked had two bathrooms, which was a plus, but they were very small and didn't have separate wet/dry areas. The shower space was cramped, allowing for only a quick wash, though the water was hot and had good pressure. In the room with floor bedding, a small black bug fell from the ceiling. Additionally, while both sleeping rooms had blackout curtains, some windows didn't have complete light blocking, which might affect sleep if you're sensitive to light. If you can overlook these three minor drawbacks, this place is highly recommended.

The traditional Korean hanok room has a wonderful ambiance, and both the interior and exterior are beautiful. The front desk staff speak Chinese and are very attentive. The hotel is about 1-2 kilometers' walk from Seogwipo city center, the surroundings are very quiet, and it's close to the sea. I would definitely stay here again.

Big thumbs up!!! It was very good and clean, and the service was exceptionally attentive! I'll definitely recommend it to my friends. They are very friendly to Chinese people! They helped us solve a really big problem, especially the auntie who speaks Chinese; she was super nice! She reminded me of Grandma Na Moon-hee, truly incredibly kind and professional! I'm a huge fan of Grandma Na.

We booked two nights, one in a modern room and one in a Hanok. There was always a Chinese-speaking staff member at the front desk each day, making communication very smooth. We could reserve breakfast for the next day at the front desk and get a 15% discount. Breakfast usually offered two choices: spicy beef vermicelli soup or a pollock roe and tofu hangover soup. The room was incredibly spacious, and the TV was huge! The floor-to-ceiling windows faced the hotel's central lawn, and across the road was the ocean. The room was clean, and the bathroom was enormous. My child was absolutely thrilled with this hotel!

The hotel is right by Jeongbang Waterfall, and a short walk takes you to the Olle Trail for a lovely seaside stroll. There are also cafes with amazing ocean views along the coast. The bus stop isn't far from the hotel either. At the front desk, there's an auntie and an uncle who speak Chinese. I noticed that the daily schedule always includes one Chinese-speaking staff member and one Korean-speaking staff member, so communication was always smooth. The auntie was especially warm and friendly – a definite thumbs-up! The hotel doesn't have many rooms. It's divided into the modern building and traditional Hanok houses in the courtyard. The rooms in the modern building are clean, bright, and incredibly spacious! They even have huge TVs! The views are excellent, looking directly onto the hotel's lawn with the ocean in the distance. The Hanok houses are nestled in the courtyard, surrounded by various flowers, plants, volcanic rocks, and fountains, offering a new picturesque scene with every step. However, the Hanok houses don't get as much natural light, so they might feel a bit more enclosed than the modern building, but they are still very clean! Breakfast is not included but can be reserved at the front desk. Each day, you can choose one of three options: a stone pot beef set, a hangover pollock soup set, or abalone porridge. It costs 15,000 won per person, and if you book a day in advance, you get a 10% discount.

The owners speak Chinese and were incredibly friendly and welcoming, offering me extra help. The front desk also had great recommendations for nearby food, which was super convenient. I'll definitely recommend this hanok stay to my friends!
