Shine Hotel

The location turned out to be such a good choice. It was my first time in the Suncheon area, and since my husband came along on my business trip, I searched through pensions, hotels, and motels before deciding. I wasn't planning to cook, and having a separate bedroom and living room seemed comfortable for the time I'd spend alone during the day. Once we arrived, the hospital cafeteria had everything I needed. The room was very clean and warm, and I had a wonderful stay. The afternoon-shift male employee was especially kind. I asked about restaurants nearby, and he looked into them carefully and gave me a sincere, helpful answer. They should give him a raise, lol.

I slept well in a clean room, and the staff were friendly. I'll definitely come back. Highly recommend it.

The rooms are spacious and don't have that sleazy love motel feel, which was a plus. It's also convenient, right in a busy downtown area with lots of restaurants. But when the cold wave hit, I had to switch rooms three times because there was no hot shower, the ondol heating wasn't working, and the air conditioner was stuck on cooling. The cause was staff negligence. There were also drunk people often making noise late into the night in incomprehensible Korean. Still, I'd recommend the place overall.

I booked room 904 for 9,000 won after winning the March Review King contest on the Yeogi Eottae app. The listed rate was 60,000 won a night. For a solo stay, the living room felt surprisingly spacious. There's free coffee and tea by the sink and an electric kettle, and the whole place is so big that one night feels too short. It almost made me wonder if somewhere this large could really be in Suncheon. The elevator has buttons up to the 13th floor. I was a little lost looking for the entrance but found it quickly. Check the guest count on your reservation carefully before arriving. It seems there's a fee for extra guests, and they control entry for visitors who aren't booked. Pets aren't allowed. They said an unapproved extension past 11:00 PM costs 10,000 won, and staying past 2:00 PM incurs an overnight fee. There are so many warning signs that I found it a bit scary, haha. I guess a lot of them are there because cooking is allowed. The hotel looks better than my 300 million won apartment. I should have a comfortable stay, thanks! Glad I brought my own facial cleanser, I washed with that.
