Minitel Soul

This hotel is a gem! Mr Kim and his wife were wonderful hosts who made our stay in Jeju exceptionally cosy and welcoming. They were great at recommendations and went above and beyond in their service whenever we had a question or needed help. Highly recommend if you love staying at a home away from home while traveling! We really appreciated their hospitality.

방목형 서비스와 자유로운 분위기의 숙소에요. 편안하면서도 개방적인 느낌이구요. 깨끗합니다. 뜰과 1층 로비가 아기자기 하구요. 바다가 보이는 풍경이 단연 최고에요. 숙소에서 내려가 길을 건너, 작은 골목을 지나 조금만 아래로 가면 예례생태공원 중간지점 즈음으로 이어지길이 있는데, 조용히 산책하기 좋고 흐드러진 봄의 벚꽃 길을 감상하 실 수 있어요. 다음에도 또 오고 싶은 곳입니다~^^

This was our 2nd visit. Because of our own oversight, we didn't have a car, and so had to rely on taxis to get anywhere. The owners personally offered us lifts when, on occasion, there were no taxis available immediately. On another occasion, my father got a small cut on his toe on at the beach and we needed some first aid, which was quickly and readily supplied. These small gestures have gone a long way in establishing our loyalty. The non-suite rooms are comfortable and of a good size for up to a couple and a small child (extra mattresses were seen neatly stored in the hall). My only quibble is that the mattresses are rather firm, to suit Korean preferences, I guess. Breakfast is simple but sufficient, and very pleasant with a view of the garden, sea (in the distance) and currently, 2 puppies :) It appears that Malaysia's state-owned Berjaya holdings is planning to build a resort about 5 minutes away - their hoardings are up. If it's going to be anything like their other projects, that will be sad because they're rather bland in every way possible, through certainly easier on families, older guests and non-Korean speakers. I hope the increased competition doesn't eliminate this 8-room operation because their dedication to service is amazing. Mr Kim (there are probably 2, and I'm referring to the younger one) speaks excellent English and recommended some really good local restaurants - chicken ginseng soup and black pork bbq come to mind.
