Chilpo Beach

Overall, we had a great experience during our stay. We arrived around 11am, planning to just drop off our luggage before heading out, but the owner's son kindly let us check in early and even lent me an umbrella. The building had a pleasant peach scent throughout and was clean. Our twin room was spacious and well-kept, equipped with a hairdryer, TV, mini fridge, and a box of basic care items including face cleanser, skincare products, hydrating mask, a razor, and aftershave. The bathroom was roomy enough to keep the sink and toilet areas dry, which was great! The breakfast area was cozy and welcoming. The owner personally prepared eggs and ham for us and took the time to chat about the city, which made the experience feel even more personal. After checkout, the hotel also stored our luggage for us since our departure to Seoul was later that evening. There’s a convenience store nearby and a laundromat right across the street, which added to the overall convenience. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return.

The hotel is in a convenient location, close to Yeongildae Beach and Yeongildae Pavilion. There are plenty of restaurants and cafes along Haean-ro, making it easy to explore the area. The room was clean and decent overall, and the hotel offers underground parking, which is a nice bonus. One highlight is that the Do Not Disturb café is located right at ground level. However, we didn’t find out about the discount for hotel guests until the last day, as the notice was written only in Korean. The café staff mentioned it when we were checking out, which was a bit disappointing—we would have appreciated knowing earlier. The only downsides were that the lighting in the room was quite dim, and the air conditioning vent blows directly onto the beds, making it uncomfortably cold at night. It would be much better if both the lighting and airflow could be adjusted.

The hotel has everything you would want and need… a bit dated with the bathroom being a wet room but has a bidet which is nice. Nice ocean view and roomy. The massage chair in the room is a bonus!
