Built for adventurers and solo travelers, this Jeju accommodation is a gem if you’re looking for spacious rooms, cleanliness, complimentary breakfast, and awesome location - all rolled into one and at an extremely reasonable price. Both private and dorm rooms are air-conditioned and come with private bathroom (very important!), refrigerator, and cable TV. Road trippers can easily park their rented cars in the on-site free parking space, and late-night checkouts can be handled by stowing your luggage at their storage and spending the day roaming the streets/eateries.

Just a few minutes’ walk will lead you to the nearest bus stop/airport drop-offs, while a 15-minute walk will land you at Seogwipo’s local gem: Cheonjiyeon Falls. Popular haunts like Lee Jung Seop Street and Seogwipo Maeil Olle Market are a 10-minute stroll away, while Oedolgae Rock is a mere 7-minute ride away. And if you wish to wander out further, the local buses connect you with the beautiful Jusangjeolli or Yongmeori coast.

Choi Hostel also has a unit for female travelers looking for women-only accommodations.

Traveling alone on Jeju Island and want a cool place to meet other travelers and get a great deal? This is the place for you. Bangdigareum B&B is located in the Seongsan district in Seogwipo, 3.1 km (1.9 mi) from Seongsan Ilchulbong. Since it is in a more obscure location, the price drops, quality for your money improves and making new friends becomes a whole lot easier! All rooms here have free WiFi and a flat-screen TV with cable channels for relaxing at night. If you are trying to cook for yourself while here, there is a shared kitchen at the property. You won’t have to worry about breakfast though, as a delicious one is already included with your stay! This is also a great location if you are a beach bum or nature lover since Pyosean Beach is the closest attraction at 15 km (9.3 mi) away, followed by Hueree Park at 30 km (18.6 mi). Bangdigareum B&B is our farthest on the list from Jeju International Airport, which is about 39 km (24 mi) away. For that reason, we would recommend this stay for solo travelers that are on Jeju Island a bit longer than a couple days.

Mr Kim and his wife - the hosts - walk the extra mile to ensure your stay is comfortable and fun. And it certainly helps when they also have high standards for cleanliness. The rooms, including female-only units, come with private bathroom, a kitchenette with microwave, and a TV. Tuck into hearty American breakfast every morning before hitting the streets. The open-air terrace is an added plus.

The popular landmarks just around the corner that are a must-visit: Seogwipo Submarine (0.6 km/0.3 mi), Cheonjiyeon Waterfalls (0.8 km/0.5 mi), and Jeongbang Waterfalls (0.9 km/0.6 mi). And if you wander out further, you’ll come across Jeju Stadium (5 km/3 mi), Soesokkak (6 km/3.7 mi), and Hueree Park (10 km/6.2 mi).

Location, location, location! There are probably very few accommodations that boast this good a location. A few steps will get you to the thrumming city center and a 12-minute stroll will lead you straight to the beach. The quaint coffee shops, restaurants, and local market of Lee Joong-seop Street are all a 3-minute walk away - now you know where you’ll be getting your caffeine fix and more! The local bus stop, which is at a stone’s throw distance, connects you with favorite hotspots like Halla Mountain, Jungmun Beach, and Seongsan Ilchulbong Hill.

The private rooms definitely guarantee a good night’s rest, as do the shared but equally comfy dorms. If you’re a stickler for private bathrooms, then pick the former. Mornings can be spent fixing your own breakfast with complimentary ingredients at the communal kitchen, which is usually buzzing with a general sense of good vibes and bonhomie. You also have free access to the shared lounge area and the computer room.
