Xenia hotel

The hotel is conveniently located in a lively city area, surrounded by restaurants and office buildings. However, the decor throughout the hotel, including the room, feels quite old-fashioned and dated. Communication was a bit challenging because the Korean front desk staff didn’t speak English, and my Korean is very limited, so I had to rely on Google Translate. Later on, I found out that some of the staff were from China and assumed I spoke Chinese, so they talked to me in Chinese right away. Both the TV and AC remotes in the room were only in Korean, and instructions in Chinese were available at the front desk. It seems that the hotel mainly caters to Chinese-speaking guests. I ended up using Google Translate again to figure things out.

Room wasn’t clean with clumps of ladies hair in the room and bathroom. One Tile outside the bathroom was dislodged and made a hollow sound when stepped on. 2 out of 3 Power sockets in the room were not working. This Hotel caters to Chinese tourists, as the staff here speak Mandarin as well. This is the equivalent of a 2-3 star local hotel. Nowhere near the 3 star Ibis equivalent that I am familiar with.

I chose this hotel because it’s very closed to Jeju Sun hotel which is one stop away from the airport via 600 bus. Jeju bus does not allow big luggage unless it’s AirPort Express which includes 600 bus. It’s very closed to new Jeju which has all the duty free shops. A lot of restaurants around the area
