During a 3 days and 2 nights trip to Jeju Island, South Korea, choosing a suitable hotel is both exciting and slightly challenging. This time, I stayed at the Emerald Hotel in the old urban area of Jeju. Although its rooms are small and the facilities are a bit old, its location and cost-effectiveness are surprising.
As soon as you step into the Emerald Hotel, you will be attracted by its warm atmosphere. Although the hotel lobby is not spacious, the decoration is simple and elegant, and the warm reception of the staff made me instantly forget the fatigue of the long flight. Although the room is small, it is well designed and makes full use of the limited space, so that the accommodation experience does not feel crowded. The bed is neat and comfortable. Although it is not the most top-notch configuration, it provides a good rest environment for tired travelers.
In terms of facilities, although the Emerald Hotel is not the newest, it has all the basic facilities. Air conditioning, TV, refrigerator and hot shower can meet daily needs. The Wi-Fi signal is stable, which is a big plus point for me who wants to share travel photos at any time. One disadvantage is that the socket does not have USB and can only be charged with Korean standard plugs.
However, the best thing about the Emerald Hotel is its location. The hotel is close to Dongmen Market, a vibrant market that will give your taste buds a feast, whether it's local snacks or fresh seafood. The liveliness and convenience of the market allow me to find delicious food and unique shopping experiences here almost every day.
In addition, the transportation around the hotel is convenient, and you can easily go to other famous attractions in Jeju Island, such as Seopjikoji, Yongduam Rock, etc., which brought great convenience to my travel.
In general, although the Emerald Hotel is not outstanding in terms of hardware facilities, considering its superior location and reasonable price, the overall price/performance ratio is quite high. For travelers like me who value travel experience over luxury, the Emerald Hotel offers a "passable" accommodation option. If you are planning to visit Jeju Island and are looking for a cost-effective place to stay in the city centre, the Emerald Hotel is definitely worth considering.
