I stayed at the Mon Dieu hotel in Jeju South Korea. It is very conveniently close to the airport (actually a bit too close, the runaway is behind the hotel but except for a couple of times in the morning, it didn’t really bother me). ||The room was spacious, bright and clean. You are supposed to take off your shoes in a Korean hotel room and slippers are provided. There are cool amenities like a mini fridge and water boiler with free bottles of water and coffee. Also, in the bathroom, there is a large dispenser for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. And also a body scrub is provided as well. You can also get complimentary dental and shaving kits available at the front desk. The bathroom is a Korean style which means that the shower (no tub), toilet and sink are all in one room with no real separation (except the toilet and shower are separated by a glass partition). It may seem a bit odd to Westerners but I got used to it pretty quick and it is very clean. ||The front desk people are very friendly and will help any way they can, but English is quite limited. Also, in the morning hours, there is no one at the front desk, so if you need to have them call a taxi and you probably do as it is far from everything, you need to find or call the front desk man as he double duties with housekeeping. All the signs at the front desk are in Korean only and I had to have a friend translate the signs by sending her pictures. Also, you have to leave your room key with them before you leave the hotel for the day. I didn’t know this until my friend told me. There is a couple of restaurants nearby and even Starbucks but you have better options traveling into New Jeju City (Shinjeju) or the Old Jeju city area. ||Aside from those previously mentioned caveats, I thoroughly enjoyed me stay and the view from|My room (see photo) was awesome! Great value and friendly staff. Maybe I need to brush up on my Korean more before I return...
Read moreOur stay at Mon Dieu Hotel in Jeju was simply perfect! It’s new, clean, well-located with many amenities within walking distance and an inexpensive taxi ride to the airport, attractions in downtown as well as along the north eastern and western coasts. We loved the firm comfortable bed which gave us the deep restful sleep we needed on our hectic vacation. The fantastic view of the ocean from our room — both at sunrise and sunset — didn’t disappoint either! And seeing people happily strolling along the coastal walk right across especially in the evenings added to the vacation vibes. But what sets Mon Dieu apart from hotels and Airbnbs we’ve stayed all over the globe is the charming warmth and hospitality of the owners. Bob and his wife went beyond the call of duty to ensure our comfort and every interaction with them added joy to our hearts. They are the reason why I’ll be returning...
Read moreThis lovely hotel scores a PERFECT 10! It’s a boutique hotel facing the coast with a view that’s simply stunning and very calming after a long day of sightseeing. The owners of the hotel scores 100 over 10 for their warm hospitality and service, even going way beyond their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Bob even drove out to a fantastic restaurant nearby just before our departure so we could have an authentic Korean lunch. Thank you so...
