The overall rooms are spacious, clean and decent with basic amenities.

Parking situation was confusing as there is a carpark both inside and outside the hotel. But if you come too late, you are asked to park at a paid parking lot where they will only refund ₩5000 (approx.$5). Parking staff were nice and friendly.

Unfortunately, the initial interaction with one of the hotel lobby staff member that was working at night was quite passive with his responses to our questions regarding some general enquires we had that new customers may have about the hotel’s services and amenities.

We also received a noise complaint at 7-8pm saying we were too loud and stomping when we had just walked into the room which was disappointing as the hotel lists that the rooms are sound-proofed.
We were disappointed that this interaction with the staff member impacted our stay in the hotel and our ability to walk comfortably around in our room.
To ensure other customers have a better experience, the hotel may benefit by updating their information, amenities and services with the relevant booking websites.

The room is super spacious. I loved the big windows in the room. It’s convenient. There are plenty of good restaurants around the hotel and close to the Maeli Ollie Market. The room is well equipped with a small kitchen space, dining area and storage space. It’d be even better with some maintenance.

Shouldn’t really complain at this price but photo didn’t exactly match reality. Maybe, we got the room that is still waiting for its renovation round. View from room was good though. Being central heating and it was winter time, we checked in the day when it was the warmest winter. Had to do like all others (looking down from our window at our neighbours window), turn off the heater and open the windows to sleep.

Note that very few of the facilities listed by the hotel are usable - there is a fine if you use the induction stovetop, there are no bath towels provided to guests (only hand towels for the toilet), aircon is only provided during certain months of the year, no coffee or tea, there are no block-out blinds so you will wake up with the sun, and the room is overall pretty dated. There is also a very bright sensor light for the bathroom, so if you’re not travelling alone bring an eye mask to sleep with. It is large though and in a good location close to the market and other local attractions.

No AC, only heat even though rooms are 75 degrees (they tell you to open a window and when we did, mosquitoes bit us all night and kept us awake for 2 days since no screens on windows). No large towels, only hand sized towels. No black out curtains so you wake up when sun rises. Sink water didn’t go down because stopper couldn’t be moved. No pots/pans despite having a kitchen. No coffee or tea provided. Parking attendant was rude. Takes 10-15 minutes to get your car from self parking

The hotel sits in a good location where we can access a lot of shopping and dining options within walking distance. However, this is all I can say with regards to good things about it.

The rooms were not clean and in disrepair. Our fridge was making an odd whirring noise all day, and the tv died our second day. The overhead shower was so rusted we didn't dare to try using it, and the toilet had brown stains on the floor.

Convenient to walk around on foot to shopping and food. The room was comfortable for 6 persons with good full length window view. Just required some minor details to check on, the tv remote weren’t working. Also it would be good to have some utensils in the little kitchenette for us to heat our food. As the carpark is down a slope, loading and off loading luggage is a bit of challenge to bring the luggage to the lobby if there are no young ones to help. On the whole the 3 nights stay was good.

Even less than \"Meh\"

My wife and I stayed here on a mid-week get-away from visiting relatives in Korea. The first indication that this would be a sub-par stay was the check-in kiosk (like a fast food restaurant) that was not working, so a clerk in the back had to check us in. The hallway to our room smelled like a mix of old fishing boat and urine. The room itself was was reasonably clean, but full of oddities. No bath-sized towels. There was no shelf in the shower, so the shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser bottles were on the bathroom counter. There was a substantial crease in the floor causing the center of the room to be about 4 inches lower than the door or window sides. The sliding door that would have given the bathroom area (not a room) more privacy was visibly glued in place. The side tables were at a perfect height to just block the outlets, but you could see where they were. The AC was centrally controlled and not turned on yet (late April), so we had to keep the windows open all of the time to keep it from becoming an oven in the south facing room.

Then there is the breakfast... Jeju is known for oranges. No orange juice. The oranges they had were imported from California. Soupy scrambled eggs. Cold potatoes. Boiled little grey sausages. No real butter. A selection of half-assed Korean foods. Coffee was terrible. Not Korean, not western. Just an abomination of both.

Look for a better hotel closer to the water or downtown area. This place was not worth the money I saved.

However, we were quite disappointed that the hotel did not have basic amenities such as cup and saucers/utensils in the room. The fridge was also not working when we first checked in (thus had a funny smell) but the front girl helped us with it. The front door lights were not working as well but the front girl told us nothing can be done about it.

Large rooms, good location.

The large, bright double room had plenty of space and would be great for longer trips as well as an overnight stay. There was more storage than my apartment, with plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space. The sofa was comfortable and a great space to relax in. The staff had little English but were very friendly, car parking was easy and the location is great for walking around Seogwipo.

The main negatives were that the curtains to the huge windows were not the greatest, meaning the light came through quite early. Also, the kitchen is unusable, the rules say you cannot bring in outside food, the stove is not hooked up, there are no plates/cutlery/mugs except 2 plastic cups. This did not ruin our stay, but as I know that I often book hotels such as this so that I can use the kitchen, it would be very inconvenient for some guests.

Big but a bit run down. Good deal overall.

Service at check-in and in the restaurant was fine. The building apparently used to be an apartment building which was turned into a hotel. This means the rooms are huge! Which is great! But, the hotel did not put much effort into redoing the rooms it appears. Scratches are all over the walls and floor. The bathroom sink was falling apart. The separate door to the toilet scratched on the floor, making a terrible noise. The blackout curtain did not work, and the sunlight shone directly onto the bed at 5:30 am. The bed was comfortable, but the TV was at the other end of the giant room, so it was hard to watch TV.

For the price it is a good deal I suppose. If you like large rooms then its great. If you like to cook yourself its good as it has a small kitchen with a huge fridge. If you like sleeping in, maybe not so good. And if you want flawless room condition stay away. I wouldn't say its dirty perse, but the poor condition of the rooms makes it feel that way at times.

Good view of the Sea and close to restaurants

The hotel is in a great location. The main restaurant/bar area of Seogwipo is a block away. Further, the room looking out to the Sea was magnificent. The room was standard, #706, but had a kitchen area, and combined living room/bedroom. This was almost a suite, I would say.
On the side of the room looking out at the Sea, the wall was basically windows from the floor to the ceiling. Other than one load bearing column, it was all open. Waking up in the morning was quite enjoyable having an unobstructed view.

The shower and toilet areas had their own rooms and there was even a kitchen table. I was very impressed with the room, as it was all white. So, when the sun hit it in the morning, it was very enjoyable to wake up from a good night's slumber.

The only area of confusion was the parking. This hotel uses an automated parking system, where the car goes into an elevator and then disappears below. As long as there is a staff member handy, then no problem. However, it is all in Korean, so without them, it is almost impossible. However, it is very neat to see in operation.

All in all, this was a very nice one night stay. I would easily stay here again. There is a cafe and restaurant in the hotel as well.

The room daily rate was only KW$60000, and I admit it was a good rate. However, due to our early flight, we arrived at 1pm, and was told we could only check-in at 3pm. If we were to check-in 2 hours earlier, the charge would be KW$30,000 per hour additional. The hotel was far from fully booked, and in any parts of the world, if you stay for 3 nights, and 2 rooms, the hotel would allow you to check-in a little bit earlier out of courtesy. I found the reception lady's attitude to be arrogant and far from helpful. Other than that, the stay was pleasant.

Amazing Experience, Wonderful Hotel

The Island Blue Hotel was great! We arrived after a long, somewhat stressful journey to a free upgrade from a standard twin room to a deluxe family suite. The room was exceptional - large, clean and comfortable. We had a large private kitchen, with a fridge/freezer and oven, as well as a powerful shower and separate dressing area. We had one large double bed and one single, as well as a sitting area with a large TV & ocean view. Such a special stay at this fantastic hotel - One of the highlights of our South Korea trip. Thank you so much to the staff members who helped us find our way around Jeju, and of course for the upgrade!

A dream-like, paradise hotel in Jeju

This was such a pleasant stay! I was in Korea for business, but spent a few vacation days to visit Jeju Island and this was the perfect hotel. The modern building, fantastic room, and courteous staff.. everything was top notch, and I do have high expectations and standards. I would say the value would probably be ~$300 in U.S. hotels for such a stay. Great value. It was such a relaxing getaway. My favorite part was enjoying my time in the bathtub, looking out to the mountain view in the early morning. I would definitely return here if I visit Jeju again!

Nice on the website... minimal facilitiee

Beds were extremely uncomfortable as were pillows. Staff spoke limited english but were as helpful as can be given the language barrier. Walking distance to jeongbang falls and the beach and Lee Jeong Seop street (olle market and main shops and eateries). Convenience store downstairs and massage parlour were good additions. Quieter area in Jeju if thats what you are looking for.

Fell short...

Stayed 3 nights. Changed rooms due to cigarette smoke from below... No smoke in second room but unfortunately, it was very dirty. Maybe cleaning service was having a bad day. Another room change. Third room was ok. Front staff handled it well, but what a hassle.

Breakfast buffet was ok. Location is ok. Note, checkout is 11am with a charge of USD $30/hr if you're late. Interesting policy.

Overall, it wasn't a bad stay, but I'll try elsewhere next time.

Clean hotel but inconsistent price

Bit overpriced and inconsistent pricing for similar style room. My $129 room was not too different than my friend's $80 room. It was not worth the $59 price difference and I felt overcharged yet the hotel would not let me cancel to get the $80 room.

Terrible

Customer service was terrible. Our room smelled like cigarette smoke. There were not any room amenities i.e. coffee, tea, etc. Our room was booked for three people. We only received towels for two, washcloths were not provided either. On our second day after the room was cleaned and the towels were removed they did not replace them. We had to call and ask for them to be replaced. This is not a kid friendly hotel nor a foreigner friendly hotel. The front door only has one lock in which it automatically opens if you turn the handle, not safe for young children. The hotel seemed more like a studio apartment they couldn't sell than a hotel. The free parking which is a joke, there are approximately ten parking spots in the garage and the outside parking is not much better. There is a kitchenette with no pots, pans, glasses, etc. I would stay at any other hotel in Seogwipo than the Island Blue.

Great hotel

Very good hotel in downtown seogwipo. Hotel is very modern and has lots of space. I had to kill couple of small bugs with the big spray they provided and the blanket was dirty at some parts. Overall everything was excellent. Staff was great. Rememeber to ask the hotel for their hotel card for the korean address, because not a lot of taxi know how to get to this hotel.
