10+ deciding factors how to choose a good hotel in South Korea

South Korea firmly entered the list of the most visited Asian countries by tourists. Residents of the Far Eastern regions of Russia pay special attention to it, and geographic proximity is the determining factor here. For the rest of the â…™ land area, South Korea is still exotic, like Japan or Vietnam, which, however, does not in any way affect the flow of tourists to the country of morning freshness.

Along with the classic tourist attractions - great beaches, tons of attractions, ski and thermal resorts and great shopping, South Korea is famous for much more amazing things. Among them are drunken bullfights, sauerkraut equated to a national treasure, a skyscraper covered in gold, diving grandmothers from Jeju Island, and much more.

The sights of South Korea are a mixture of centuries-old traditions and modern monuments. Beautiful palaces, modern skyscrapers, amusement parks, museums - everyone can find something to their liking here.

It will hardly be possible to see all the iconic places of South Korea in one visit, but in the list of the most-most tourist locations in the country:

  • Seoul palaces - Gyeongbokgung, Gyeonghigung, Changdeokgung and Deoksugung;
  • Yuksam Building;
  • Blooming Hwaseong Fortress in Suwon;
  • Jongmyo Shrine in Seoul;
  • Seokguram Cave Temple;
  • Joseon Dynasty Tombs;
  • Lotte World amusement park;
  • Bukhansan National Park;
  • Bulguksa Temple and others

Accommodation facilities in South Korea are renowned for their diversity. Moreover, along with the classic options - 2-, 3-, 4- and 5-star hotels, here you can find quite extravagant accommodation. Hanok - guest houses equipped in the traditional style of old Korean dwellings, yogwang - inexpensive hotels, the rooms of which often lack a bed, chimchilban - Korean baths - this is the most budget accommodation where you can wash and spend the night for a symbolic price of 10-12 dollars .

The cost of living, as well as the occupancy of hotels, in Korea largely depends on the season. But whenever you are planning to visit this country, you should worry about booking a hotel in advance.

Frequently asked Questions

Do I need to leave a deposit with an already paid room?

The requirement to leave a deposit is rare. If the guest plans to live in the apartment, then he may be required to provide a security deposit. Many hotels in South Korea has another practice - the administration "freezes" a certain amount on the guest's credit card, which is returned after the check-out. This is necessary to compensate in the event that the client damaged the furniture or tried to move out without paying for additional services (SPA procedures, dinner at a restaurant, etc.)

How long does the hotel wait for the guest after checkout time?

Depending on the hotel you have chosen, it is usually before 00:00 on the day of arrival in South Korea, unless you have specified a different time of arrival. Check-in conditions are always indicated at the stage of booking, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with them in detail before making a payment.

Late check out and early check in

Late check-out and early check-in are possible when the hotel is not 100% full. Sometimes they can be provided free of charge, but in most cases there will be an additional fee. The conditions and the possibility of providing an early check-in or a late check-out should be found out in advance from the hotel administrator.

What is a non-refundable rate?

A non-refundable rate is a rate in which a room is booked at the lowest price, but a prepayment is required, which is not refundable in case of cancellation.

What documents are required upon check-in?

It is required to present a passport or other identity document, confirmation of booking or payment for the room. For minors, a birth certificate is required.

Why are 5 star hotels in South Korea different in quality?

The star rating standards were adopted in 1989 at the session of the World Tourism Organization, but since then the standard of living has increased and options previously classified as luxury have become commonplace. Therefore, 4-star hotels often catch up with 5-star hotels in terms of comfort. In some countries, in addition to the general ones, there are national standards for assigning stars that are advisory in nature.

Is the price indicated for one person or for the whole room?

The accommodation cost is indicated for the room as a whole, taking into account the number of people that was indicated during the search. For example, if during the search 3 people were indicated, then its results will display the cost of the whole triple room, if 1 person was indicated, then in the results you will see the price of a single room. Please note that search results do not include additional services (SPA treatments, extra bed, pet, etc.). To order any additional service, it is better to personally contact the hotel and clarify its availability and cost.

What is the difference between a Deluxe room and a Junior Suite?

The main differences between these two types of rooms are the size of the room, decoration and layout. When choosing accommodation options on our website, you can find the photos and detailed descriptions of all room categories.

What is included in the booking price?

The price for the room includes all the services that are listed on the booking site. To read them, you need to click on the room name. Breakfast and basic taxes are often included.

Also, in some cities in South Korea there is an additional tourist tax, which is, on average, 0.5-1.5 euros per person for each day of stay.

Why is your room rate lower than on the official website of the hotel?

The search takes into account promotional and discount offers and displays the final amount, while the official sites offer the base price. Therefore, in search and booking systems, the price may be lower than on the official website of the hotel.

Can the guest choose the floor on their own?

No, the booking systems do not have an option to select the floor in the hotel. The floor can be indicated in the wishes or notes to the request or by contacting the hotel directly and specifying the possibility of obtaining a room on the desired floor. If you are traveling out of season, when the demand for rooms is moderate, hotels meet the wishes of customers.
