Fontana Beach Hotel

If you want to walk around the street near the ocean, it is quite a good location. Easy to drink and find food. But there is no sand area. And behind a little bit dirty. But this hotel room is clean and old-fashioned. I think it is not bad, but not super good. In Mokpo, this hotel is a good choice for travelers.

Better than expected with great view to the ocean and peace park with beautiful night fountain water show. Just few steps to the ocean.

I recently returned from a week-long stay and loved it at this hotel. Comfortable room, pillows, and bed. I had an excellent view of the Mokpo water front and even though people stayed out late and wants noisy enough to where it prevented me from enjoying a good night’s sleep. Mokpo is a seaside town so there were plenty of restaurants to choose from. I think my visit may have been more interesting had the summer season started but it was still enjoyable.

The location is very good, the service is very good, and I am very satisfied. best option.

The room is very spacious and clean. It has a wonderful view of the beach and the sea. The music fountain is right in front of our room too but there weren't any shows during the period we stayed. We booked a room for two people for 2 nights. On checking in, we found that only 1 bath towel was given with 5 hand towels. Naturally we informed the reception and it didn't help that they weren't very proficient in English. However, the same thing happened on the second day after the room was cleaned up, again our bath towels were replaced (though we hung them up) with 1 bath towel and 5 hand towels and again I had to call the reception and try to communicate with them. However, we do appreciate though, that the towels were delivered promptly on request The other thing that we found annoying was that the sound proofing of the rooms are really bad. We can hear the sounds from neighbouring rooms (left and right), especially when they are dragging their chairs and that is really frustrating as it happens every now and then till late into the night. I guess the hotel has no control if the guests drag their chairs hard and loud, and besides, I am coming to accept this to be the locals' habit as a lot of the guests are locals and this is my forth visit to Korea, so this isn't something new. However, in some of the hotels that I had stayed, they put up signs asking guests not to shift the furniture in the room excessively to prevent disturbing the other guests. Location wise, it is located in a very happening area with lots of different restaurants just behind the hotel. Events are also organized in the area in front of the fountain but I guess it happens mostly on the weekends. Otherwise, the room itself is spacious and comfortable, it comes with a pretty nice shower too. There is also an open area outside the shower that serves as a cosy little dressing area for ladies and that is my favourite part of the room.

A new (or newly-refurbished?) hotel that's a good choice for a relaxing Mokpo stay. Clearly no expense has been spared on the rooms, which are spacious and light, with good quality wooden furniture, state-of-the-art showers and toilet. Good lighting too. The designers might have tried staying a night there before opening as just a few small changes would make it much more user-friendly - towel rails and hooks in the bathroom, more easily accessible charging points in the bedroom etc. And a previous reviewer is right - the mattresses are firm in the extreme! The staff seemed a little nervous to be serving foreign customers, and didn't speak any English. Check-in consisted of us giving our name and receiving a keycard - no registration, no explanation of facilities, and when we asked to leave luggage there after check-out the staff just put it on the counter within full view of visitors and didn't offer a receipt till we asked for one. A little more training needed I think. Still, we enjoyed our stay and it's a good location for seaside walks, the Gatbawi rocks and the museum district. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurants so can't vouch for those, but found excellent restaurants a-plenty nearby (Dajeong barbecue, Haneul-chae vegan buffet especially recommended). Neither did we use the sauna, which is men-only (what's that about?) and closes at 2030 - far too early.

We got a room on the tenth floor, with a great view of the color-changing fountain and the sea. The room was wonderfully appointed: espacious, nice colors, clearly well cared for, the wood furniture massive and if not antique, looks like it. The bathroom was lovely. The price was unbeatable, definitely a very nice and positive surprise. We never watch TV on holiday, sweet didn't use it but the light controls and air conditioning were easy to use.

Very nice property. I think one of the best in Mokpo, in this price range (I have not been to any others, this is based on what I have seen of the other places and locations). Very safe location right (across the street) on the boardwalk. Very clean, roomy, with professional staff. Bed was excellent quality. My room had a great view of the water/laser show. Lots of restaurants in the vacinity in easy walking distance. about 20 minute walk to several museums including the Maritime, and Natural History. I would recommend this hotel for those looking to travel on a reasonable budget, yet enjoy finding a good clean, comfortable, safe property.
