Shinan Beach Hotel

I stayed at this hotel with my wife. We arrived at the hotel around 2 p.m., and I asked for to check in earlier because 5 hours driving made is a bit tired and exhausted but a receptionist didn't allow us to check in, because the check-in was 3 p.m. though there was no guests. It was hard to see some friendly service, the receptionist was seating in her chair to talk to us like an anchor in the water while telling us. Anyway, after a bit waiting, our room was 808, the old furniture, dark inside, a someone's hair in the bathroom, dirty window, and a hanging mosquito on the ceiling. I was completely my fault to expect something old heritage or skilful attitude, actually I shouldn't have picked it up before leaving for Mokpo. Upon getting my room, I would like to come back home. Bedding was not bad, but the the bed spring made me hurt my back and waist on the next morning. Breakfast? If breakfast hadn't been free of charge, I should have looked for a restaurant near here. I believe that it was not worth. Do you ask me to visit here again down the road? Definitely, I will say, Noop!

It is very nice view from the hotel, also the sea food was great there, very clean room, and safe place. No any noise there. Also there is bus station same name with the hotel, they help us to call taxi, nice place to stay with your family. The parking was very big . The meeting room was also good, we have conference there, so there is big room and small one Thank you for reading

Maybe it helps to have a Korean-speaking wife, but my experience was nothing like what I've read from others who stayed right around the same time as we did! We had a Western room (half the hotel has western rooms and half Korean - it's written in English in the elevator). The place was impeccably clean, the bed was very comfortable and the staff was very friendly (again, I did NONE of the talking!). The rooms are certainly dated, but really, so what?! Now, it isn't near much. My in-laws came to get us every day and then drop us off at night, so perhaps someone else would have a problem with the location. For us, it was fine.

I tried this hotel for one weekend night, as to escape from Seoul city on a longer business trip.||It was an authentical Korean experience, in a city where English is hardly spoken. ||Fortunately, one of the hotel staff members was able to speak a little bit of English, and she has been very helpfull for helping me prepare a hiking trip in Wolchulsan national park. She phoned around for the bus schedule, and even printed out a suggested hike description from the internet. That was very helpfull.||The room was rather basic and run-down, and my "ocean view" was blurred as the window hadn't been washed for a long time, and even then, there is a large parking place in between the hotel and the waterfront.||Breakfast buffet was served in a large room with no windows.||The name of the hotel suggests there is a beach, but this beach is nothing to speak of.||Just behind the hotel is a steep hike up a hill, with spectular views from the top, recommended!||Overall, it is okay to spend a night, but don't expect anything fancy.

Hotel seems decent. Great beach view. Breakfast buffet not the best, but decent too. Unlimited coffee.

The Shinan Beach Hotel is a great .||Within easy reach of city centre, Yudalsan Mountain and ferry terminal for the many Islands. Also the international ferry to China Hong Kong and Macau. ||From this hotel we explored Mokpo City centre, the street of light , and climbed the Yudalsan Mountain. ||The Yudalsan mountain was spectacular with traditional pavilions at lookout points with great views of the city and the islands. BREATHTAKING AND WELL WORTH THE CLIMB A REAL MUST DO.

This is a hotel that is almost entirely Korean, and foreigners are a novelty. Almost no-one speaks English, and the place is old, shabby and worn. But the sea-view is great and the location is near the bus-stop, railway-station, airport and the main-road to Gwangju.

Nice view, every thing was great but need to be cleaned properly. However I will definitely stay here again.
