Hotel Winstory

A note of appreciation to front desk officer Mr Park Jun Chul who was very helpful in spite of his limited English. There were many things which I liked about Hotel Winstory (1) the washing machine inside the room, (2) the convenient location of the hotel which was walkable to Seogwipo Olle Market about 10 to 15 mins walk away, (3) Many buses at the Lifelong Learning Center bus stop along the road behind Hotel Winstory, (4) Nearby food street about 5 minutes walk away, (5) Jeju Olle Tourist Info Centre opposite the hotel about 3 minutes walk away, (4) Olle Trail 7 which was just down the road. However, do note that while Olle Trail 7 is scenic along the coast - there is no way out of the Oedolgae coastal walk and you will need to complete that stretch for about 1 hour and 30 minutes before it gets back to the road.

We had requested for 2 side by side rooms for our family of 4 adults. At check in, the initial rooms assigned to us were a distance apart although on the same floor. When I asked Mr Park Jun Chul who attended to us at check in if something can be done to relocate us to 2 side by side rooms, he was very helpful and searched through his room system. He eventually found 2 side by side rooms on the highest floor to give to us. The rooms were generally clean although one of our rooms constantly had a cigarette smell despite it being a non smoking floor. However when we sprayed the room with sanitiser, the smell went off. The beds and pillows were comfortable and we enjoyed our stay at the hotel. We arrived at the hotel by the airport limousine bus and it was a convenient 5-10 mins walk to the hotel.

I would like to compliment Ms Lee Soo Hyun for spending time to help me with the information I needed in Seoul. Though we need a translator app to communicate, she was very patient and helpful and always served me with a smile. Thank you for much Ms Lee! Also love the massage chair at the lobby. It was really very good.

Luggage storage at front desk. Quick walk from the 201 bus from Seongsan. Easy walking distance to the Olle Market, Olle trail 6 and 7, and Food Street. About 20 minutes to Cheonjiyeon Waterfall. Room is large with some closet space. Large refrigerator. Washing machine in the room - drying rack is small. Strong AC. Water bottles and towels every day. The free massage chairs are a nice perk. Very comfortable stay.

The washing machine was the selling point and very handy for us. The kitchenette was useful as was the big fridge. Appreciated the warning at check-in that rooms wouldn't be cleaned/made every day due to covid but the hotel gave us new towels and water bottles at our front door every morning during our stay. Walking distance to central Seogwipo. The staff were nice but some couldn't speak English which we overcame with translate anyway.
