Donkey and I were on a cycling adventure around Jeju Island, tracing the Fantasy Bike Path, with a goal to reach the vibrant city of Jeju. We decided to take an anti-clockwise loop, and as we rode through the eastern part of the island, we stumbled upon a gem – CO-OP City Hotel Seongsan. Me, ever the meticulous planner, had cleverly included this hotel as one of our checkpoints.
The hotel itself was a pleasant surprise. It's a 3-star hotel, but it felt much larger than expected, with spacious rooms that were perfect for accommodating our bikes after long days on the road. The hotel’s location was a bonus, just a short distance from a convenient store and a few great restaurants, including the amazing Geumdot Seongsan Black Pork. Plus, as shown on Google Maps, the hotel is conveniently located near the Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak) Trail, making it easy to enjoy a scenic hike.
Stepping into our room, we were delighted by the views. The balcony offered breathtaking panoramas of Seongsan Ilchulbong (Sunrise Peak), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the surrounding coastline. Each morning, we woke up to the promise of another day filled with adventure.
The hotel room was well-equipped, with heated toilet seats, a fantastic shower head, and a range of amenities, including shampoo and body wash. The thoughtful touches made us feel right at home.
We were also impressed by the hotel's laundry facilities on the 5th floor and it's free of charge. You can simply buy detergent from the front desk and wash your clothes. We were initially told there wasn't a dryer function, but we were delighted to find out that the washing machine did provide a dryer service, and the dryer worked perfectly. We were able to catch up on laundry from the previous few days, a real bonus for those long cycling trips.
And, perhaps the best surprise of all was the staff’s ability to speak English. In a country where English isn't as widely spoken, it was a huge relief to be able to communicate easily with the hotel staff. It made our stay even more comfortable and relaxed.
CO-OP City Hotel Seongsan was much more than just a hotel. It was a home away from home, a place where we could rest, recharge, and prepare for the next leg of our adventure. It was the perfect base for exploring the beauty of Jeju Island, with its stunning coastal views, easy access to attractions, and a...

Read moreGood budget hotel just 15 minutes walk to Seongsang Ilchubong. Another 25 minutes to walk to the top. It is also near Udo. There is a 7-11 in the lobby and parking on the side and the back. Restaurants are within 5 to 10 minute walk. The hotel has very good views from rooms with a view. Breakfast is small but sufficient each morning. There are also a small store on the left up the street and a GS25 and another 7-11 in town. These are recommended... the store on the corner in the center of town is gouging prices and had some really old produce for an island that is mostly agriculture. We found fresh fruit and veggies at the 7-11.
The rooms are quirky... the toilet is behind a frosted glass door which doesn't do much. Also colorful paintings on the walls in the rooms... seems good for families. Would recommend for a budget hotel. We also easily drove to Manjanggul and Jeju Folk Village from the hotel. Both highly recommended. You can see two Unesco Heritage...
