Jeju Ocean Palace Hotel Review

We stayed at the Ocean Palace Hotel on our second trip to Jeju. We chose this hotel for its convenient location in the southern Jeju city of Seogwipo. We had a rental car. The drive from Jeju International airport was around 90 mins. It will take approximately 2 hours by bus.

The Ocean Palace Hotel is near scenic attractions like the Jeongbang Waterfalls, Oedolgae Rock, Jusangjeolli Cliff, Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market, etc. We stayed here for 3 nights and used this as our base to visit the southern part of Jeju.

There is a choice of Oriental or European style rooms. We booked the European Family Twin room with breakfast for US$110 per room/night. Although the hotel looks dated on the outside, the rooms have a modern feel. It is spacious and spotlessly clean. I understand that the rooms have recently been refurbished. It comes with kitchenette, complimentary beverages and a comfortable sitting area with flat screen TV. Wi-Fi is free and fast. There is ample complimentary parking for guests in the basement.

The buffet breakfast has a good spread of Korean and Western. Quite average in quality but good enough for an energy boost before setting off on a long day of sightseeing.

There’s a 7-11 within the hotel convenient for last minute snacks or sundry. It is also near a stretch of bars and restaurants. The Arang Jeoul food street is just 2 streets away and Cheonjiyeon Waterfall is also within walking distance.

The standard of accommodation and service standard exceeded my expectations for this mid-priced hotel. We had a really comfortable stay. Highly recommended for families with children.
