A Solo Female Traveler's Review: Kenneth Stay Moseulpo, Seogwipo, Jeju
It's almost been a month since my solo trip to Jeju Island.
I spent my last night in the Moseulpo area of Seogwipo, and I wanted to share my review of 'Kenneth Stay Moseulpo,' a place I recommend for solo female travelers.
Kenneth Stay Moseulpo in Seogwipo is conveniently located within walking distance of Moseulpo Central Market, the Bangeo (Yellowtail) Festival Street, and Moseulpo Port.
It was easy to get around on foot because it was right next to the main road, and there was a convenience store across the street.
Check-in time is 3:00 PM, and check-out time is 11:00 AM.
The parking lot was located outside on the first floor and included both regular and mechanical parking.
Even though I arrived around 5:00 PM, the parking lot was already full.
I temporarily parked in the disabled parking space and inquired at the hotel. They instructed me to park in an area in front of the hotel suitable for larger vehicles.
Luckily, a spot opened up, and I was able to park right away. It seemed like you could use the mechanical parking system if you inquired at the hotel when the parking lot was full.
However, the limited parking space was a bit inconvenient.
Kenneth Stay Jeju Moseulpo is a contactless hotel.
There was no front desk for check-in; only two mobile kiosks were available.
I appreciated the quick and easy contactless check-in process.
ID is required!
There was also luggage storage service and an unmanned cafe next door.
The unmanned cafe was popular with students. They were studying late into the night, and adults were working.
The hotel has floors from B1 to 8F.
Breakfast is served on B1.
There was also a paid laundry area.
Hotel information was posted in various locations.
There was a collection bin outside for guests staying multiple nights to deposit used towels.
I was assigned to the 3rd floor.
There were approximately 27 rooms on each floor. My room was near the elevator, but fortunately, I didn't experience any significant noise during my stay.
The bathroom was on the right side as soon as you entered the room.
The toilet was next to the sink, and the shower was across from it.
You need to bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush, but shampoo, conditioner, and body wash were provided.
There were only two towels!
I booked a standard single room since I was traveling alone.
It cost around ₩30,000 on a weekday in September.
It might feel small to some, but I found the compact space cozy and comfortable.
There was a desk and mirror right next to the bed, which was convenient for working, reading, or eating.
There was a clothes rack on the wall for hanging clothes, and a TV for relaxing.
The best part was that it was a smart TV, so I could watch YouTube and Netflix!
Disposable slippers were provided on the desk, but I didn't use them.
The refrigerator only contained one bottle of water, so I had to refill it from the water purifier in the basement or buy water at the convenience store.
The basement had a large area for breakfast, as well as a water purifier, microwave, and coffee machine.
There was also a recycling area.
When I went down to use the microwave in the morning, I took a look at the breakfast buffet.
It seemed to be mainly Korean food.
Even though it was a small standard single room, I enjoyed sleeping in the cozy atmosphere.
It was actually the place where I slept the best during my trip.
The room faced the morning sun, so I could enjoy the sunlight as soon as I opened the curtains.
The only inconvenience was that water refills weren't available, so I had to buy water. But other than that, I didn't experience any major inconveniences and enjoyed my stay.
