Nice Simple Comfortable

Nice expectations about Champion Hotel were playing on my mind when I landed in Jeju International Airport. However, I was sort of _ at a lost since there was no friendly and clear instructions from the hotel how to reach the place. An impatient response to my last phone call was .... "no English" .... A staff from the airport information counter directed me to take bus number 365 and get off at Seomun traditional market stop. From there, it took me a long time to find 131, Namseong-ro street after asking help from some people. Finally, I reached Champion Hotel; and it was a relief to meet the owner who speaks English. Champion Hotel is a good place to stay transiently, but for me this property is not on a par with a homely guesthouse. A medium-sized double room with window was allotted to me. It was designed in a very basic arrangement; but the necessary items like fridge, hair dryer and kettle were provided. The bathroom was clean and with good water pressure. Good to mention that bottled drinking water was provided. The inclusive buffet breakfast consisted of soup, bread, butter, sunny side up egg and veggie salad. Hot coffee was available from the coffee dispenser machine. What I appreciated most was the effort of the hotel owner to arrange the Jeju city tour for two Indonesian ladies who suggested me to join them; and we had to divide the price of the tour among us three, consequently making it affordable. It was an unforgettable city and beyond the suburban areas tour. Big thanks to the owner and manager of Champion Hotel.


Not on a par with a homely guesthouse

I stayed there on 12/12 - 16/12. Great location and near to airport and jeju city.

Underground market is just 2km away from hotel.
Helpful staff but not very good English spoken.  
Spacious room and great amenities

Value for money

The rooms and everything else we saw was all clean. Receptionist was a little absent at times, but would come running after a while when we made some noise.

Material and color choices in this place is … strange. It's just nor stylish nor cozy nor anything else you would expect from a hotel. Felt like "designed" at random to fit in a 1950s-office-as-a-hotel movie(?) Hard to describe. And the "quality control" stickers were still attached to most wall and ceiling panels (→What builders would leave that there? I'm confused). 

Food: read the description thoroughly: The included breakfast "buffet" actually means you can have as many loaves of white bread and as many eggs you want. Nothing else except water(+tea/coffee maybe). Ah, and a soup. See the attached photo of a notice written by management itself: "Breakfast is simply toast, soup and egg fried and a few other things" :)

If you're not a muslim, you might be a bit puzzled by the need for putting the word Qiblat and an arrow pointing towards that, painted/fixed in the ceiling of your rented room. I have not seen that in any other hotel in Korea (or elsewhere).

Internet was supposed to be free; it kind of was, but didn't work for more than aprox 20 seconds at a time. Seemingly limited to one device at a time(?) Jeju island has got free wifi at many public places though -- but you will need to be outside the hotel for that to work, can't use it from the room. Same behaviour on all SSIDs. Checking the "No wifi" box for this reason.

Clean and straight forward, not-so-cool hotel

I booked one triple room and one double room with Agoda. Pictures of room looked clean and modern online so we booked one night since it was close to airport. 

One good thing I can say about this hotel is the distance from airport. Where should I start....
1. Room is too stuffy and hot. Cannot control temperature

2. Pressure of shower is strong but temperature of water constantly changes from lukewarm to hot. Everytime it changes to hot temperature,  I had to avoid. If I adjust to warm temperature then it will change to cold to lukewarm

3. There is no big towel nor bath mat. So after shower, you need to put one small towel as something to wipe your feet so you can imagine everybody will do the same. Which means all those small towels you will get are to be used as bath mat. 

4. Our TV was broken so I asked the guy to come up. He tried his best to fix calling service centre. But soon I found out that wifi in the room is faulty. I could connect to my room number quickly but never could use internet so I used next door's wifi which was weak. I didn't want to bother the guy again. It was only one night and I found too many problems in the room so gave up and decided to tolerate just for one night.

5. Out triple room had only 2 pillows. There was no water in the fridge. I thought water is not provided since it was very cheap but another double room our family member stayed had two bottles of water so I went down to get them. Front desk guy said that maybe housekeeping staff forgot. I didn't complaint since there are too many things to point out. I found problems one after another.

6. I stayed with my 11 year old child. I could hear everything from next door. There was strange noise from next door so I turned up the TV volume so that my daughter cannot hear that. It was horrible. There was baby crying and other loud talking which I have no idea where it is coming from. 

7. There is air conditioner/heater on the ceiling but you cannot control the temperature. It was too stuffy and hot. We opened the windows then sound of cars passing was very noisy.

8. Front desk guy has a room behind the desk and stayed there all the time. I could see that in other reviews. He is actually inside sleeping. I had to call out 'excuse me' a few times everytime I need or ask something. 

9. There are not many restaurants nearby. Only motels and hotels. I walked to market but it was rather quiet and no food stalls there. 

10.The highlight of bad service from this hotel is breakfast lady. She looked really angry and rude. What she does is fry eggs and monitor one person gets one egg(I found out the whole system later). She never speaks and only uses her fingers to point. There was no explanation written or told by anyone. So first moment I entered the breakfast area, I picked up bread to toaster then suddenly this scary looking lady pointed the plates which was near toast bread. So I thought she needed my help to take one plate for her. I did. She put one egg on the plate I gave her and gave it back to me. it was actually for me. I didn't want to eat egg but it seems that that was the rule there. As soon as you enter the breakfast room, she will give you one egg no matter what and remebers who took egg already. When my mum came down to have breakfast, I asked her to sit down and wait for me to bring her egg. Egg lady saw me approach with another plate and she showed her palm towards my face as if she is saying "stop!". I didn't know why she is acting like that but soon sitting there for a while, I realized the whole system. 

One person gets one egg. Rest of food can be comsumed as much as you want. Well replenishment is practically none so most likely you will have whatever you took once. Since she didn't give me egg for my mum, I proceeded to take other stuff then she kind of mumbled "I am not trying to save eggs but if I give you two eggs, everybody will ask!" not that I want egg so much, I just explained that that was for my mum not me. Then she overlooked at our table with hawk eye and pointed the plate again without any words!!!! What is that? She knows I can understand Korean but still just uses her fingers. At this point, her rudeness went beyond my limit and I find it funny. It was utterly unpleasant experience.

 I thought breakfast is only toast and coffee but actually there were other things such as cereal, instant soup, Korean style salad(apples with mayo and shredded cabbage), toast bread with apple jam, orange and grape juice. Breakfast was somewhat more than I expected. 

When I walked around the area, I saw other better looking hotels which I didn't find on Agoda site. Definitely I wouldn't stay here again on next visit.
