Haga-ri Vacations from ￥31,086

This is the third time that we have stayed here over a period of six years. It is a good quality, low budget, hotel with basic, but comfortable, air conditioned rooms, TV, and an ensuite wet room / bathroom. It is well positioned within the Gaeksa cafe / restaurant area of Jeonju, and close to the river where there are walkways and cycleways that take you to the famous Nambu Market. English is rarely spoken in this part of South Korea and the hotel staff did their best to help us during our two week stay. Rooms cost £40 per night and, although breakfast is not available in the hotel, there is a coffee shop on the ground floor, and many coffee shops nearby that serve an excellent brunch.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shilla Stay. It is fantastic for two people. We actually got upgraded to a room with a double bed and a single bed. The single bed worked great as a couch because there was a table and one chair right there; you could just sit on the edge of the single bed like a sofa. What we liked about the hotel: 1. The showers and the air conditioning worked really well. 2. The beds were very comfortable. 3. The cleaners did a good job everyday. 4. There is a fantastic rooftop bar (with makgeolli tasting board) 5. Has a pleasant lobby area for laptop work. 6. Bidet is in English 7. Has a great gym 8. The location is excellent: (a) It is within the boundaries of the old Jeonju walled city, so it is very close walking distance to all the local sites like the South Gate, Nambu market, Junyang wet market and Save Zone department store. (b) It is walking distance to an area similar to Myeongdong Seoul. (c) It is walking distance to the main road, making it very handy to catch a bus up to E-Mart, and Homeplus, and other places like Dukjin Park. (d) there's a GS25 just outside the hotel. There are lots of Korean restaurants everywhere nearby, the staff very friendly and speak English well. We really enjoyed our time there.

Clean comfortable hotel Friendly staff

We liked the bed, the self cleaning clothes machine. The gym needs work. The restaurant being closed was inconvenient The coffee place attendant was Extremely Rude. Even though we showed up first, she took care of six young people who kept trickling in one after the other. We waited for 30 minutes and she didn't start on our order because she decided it was ok to make us wait and not the people who came after us. This was an extremely unwelcoming behavior to tourists. All others were local people.
