Podo Hotel

Fantastic hotel. Brilliant architecture. Kind of far away from things though. Also, the breakfast isn't typical hotel fare. It's much more traditional than the typical hotel that you're expecting. It's a great place to bring trad Korean folks or a good place for a luxury golf outing with friends

OMG some of the BEST bread I've had! I Food was crazy good... Located in the podohotel area, it was our favorite place to have breakfast, during our trip to JEJU. Although small (something normal in JEJU) it has a beautiful view and a cozy living room with natural lighting. The super fast and attentive service. I literally saved one just to enjoy on the plane ride. Freshly baked, loved and displayed so magically. Thank you for a great morning and yummy memories. Friendly manager(SangHoon Baek), great service!!! Thx!!!

This is by far the most impressive hotel in Jeju in terms of luxurious, hot spring bath in every room, cleanliness, beautiful facilities and building, excellent foods and services. ||||The staff were polite and helpful. We were particularly impressed by Ms Jisu who communicated promptly and effectively with me through email when helping me to book a room during a high session period; Mr Jason Lee for his perfect check-in service provided to us, and Mr Seung Ho Woo for his fabulous restaurant service at the Podo restaurant located near the receptionist desk. The dishes served in the restaurant were of high standard. No wonder why it was often fully occupied.||||The hotel provided daily courtesy free drinks and snacks in the room-fridge. This was a very nice touch for the convenience of the residence.||||The safe-box provided in the room was a bit too small for the laptop. ||||Overall, it was a very pleasant stay for us.

We decided to book one night out of our 4 days trip in Jeju at Podo Hotel to experience luxury in this boutique hotel which looks so charming on pictures. The architecture and room facility is great, not disappointing at all ! But i cannot give a 5 stars to this hotel. |Upon arrival there is nobody at the entrance of the hotel, you need to figure out where to park by yourself, and carry your luggages by yourself to the entrance. Once you are inside of the hotel then they will assist you. |Also, we expected to be able to order in room breakfast to enjoy the amazing terrace and view on the garden, but they do not have this option, you need to go to the breakfast in the restaurant. Too bad, because the room and the view are definitely the highlight of this hotel! On the positive note: your bathtube in the room is connected to the hotspring water, that was so nice and relaxing ! Complimentary minibar and bathroom amenities are one of the pleasant surprise in the room !

PODO hotel is located on the PINX golf course west of Hallasan. The location is rather remote but beautiful. We were wowed by the hotel's architecture and its surroundings. ||||We stayed in 3 western styled rooms overlooking a beautiful garden. These rooms had access to an outdoor area where you could enjoy a drink. The rooms were large and well-appointed with free minibar and snacks. There is piped-in hot spring water guests can enjoy in the privacy of their own tub. As we have chosen the Western-styled room, it room came with a 150 cm regular acrylic type bathtub. For those who enjoy onsen-styled baths, the Korean rooms may suit you better as they come with a Hinoki bathtub. ||||Even though the hotel has great hardware, it was severely let down by the software.||||Service was quite poor, especially at the restaurant. The staff was seen to serve Korean guests ahead of us despite us being there first. They were also very curt and often slammed the items on the table. On one of the days, they could not cope with the breakfast service - we had to wait for about 30 minutes while they clean up the tables which have been vacated for a while. ||||Whilst one could excuse their sub-par service at breakfast to insufficient staffing and reluctance to communicate in English, one cannot excuse the housekeeping. ||||The housekeeper left the balcony door open presumably while doing the turndown service. This resulted in the room being extremely cold when we returned after a day out. The balcony area also leads to the outdoor common area. This means that the room was essentially left unlocked for the duration that the door was opened. In addition, the mats usually placed by the bedside were strewn over the lampshades. ||||One can only surmise that the housekeeper left the room absentmindedly. Luckily for us, nothing was lost, but this still constituted a severe security breach, that is unacceptable for any hotel. ||||Overall, I would suggest international guests to rethink this property primarily due to poor service. They seem to cater only to the local Korean market and are ill-equipped to receive international guests.

I came here with 3 friends after 5 wonderful days in Seoul and 2 days at a fantastic Jeju Temple. We were all hoping for a relaxing evening with an evening in the hot springs. What we received was sadly the opposite. We arrived and had lunch, the food was mediocre and overpriced. When we were taken to the room, we were surprised to see a filming set. They were noisy and had opened a door into the hotel which was letting freezing air in. We couldn’t take a nap like we’d wanted and the noise continue for 5 more hours. We decided to go enjoy the hot springs to get away from it but sadly found out that these weren’t even in the hotel. We had to take a drive away. Lastly in the morning despite confirming our room for 3 , they wanted to charge us for a 3rd breakfast. We pushed back and it was all handled very poorly. The whole stay was disappointing, a far cry from the relaxing time we’d planned. Don’t stay here if you’re looking for a relaxing time with friends or a loved one.

The hotel is a little difficult to find as the road twist here turn there and road signs are not clear. It is in a separate building away from the Golf Course. You need drive up a small slope to the end of the road.||The staff are all very professional. The hotel’s design is very artistic. A lot of attention are given to details in terms of hotel service and decorations. ||We had dinner at the hotel. The hotel has good good food, fresh air and lots of good service. The room comes with natural hot spring water and it is very clean. They use Bvlgari toiletries. We saw the most beautiful sunset here at the hotel lookout area. There is a outdoor balcony area at the room where you can enjoy the night sky. Overall we like this hotel’s very relaxing atmosphere very much and will be back again!

About 30min from Jeju airport. In the middle of no where lies a low-rise bubble like Podo hotel.||||Polite staff, nice size room, with a little balcony. We opt for a Korean style room (Western style with carpet also available). The best part is the hot spring tub inside the bath room where you can sit back, relax and dip yourself into the Hot Spring. Plenty of green and flowers at spring.||||Go there and do nothing is the best part.||||Breakfast at the restaurant is also nice. Can choose from American or Korean style breakfast, both are more than enough.||||We came with four families with kids together during the Easter holidays, all had a wonderful experience with the hotel. Some played golf, some swam at the annex building 5 min drive from the hotel. Relaxing trip for all.
