Best hotels & accommodations in Yeosu-si

The reception staff member was friendly, helpful, and fully English/Korean bilingual. The room was simple and clean, but not large (basically a little standing room next to the bed/in front of the desk). The location was great, as it was just a couple of blocks from the seaside walkway that has all of the various musicians and restaurants in the evening. ( 'Busking' ...

finding the hotel was easy, finding the entrance was not. Elena Hotel is on upper floors of an office building, so you have to enter the unmarked entrance and follow signs. Just as difficult to find is the car park, which the front desk staff pointed out to us from a window, we had to drive around the block to get into it. Logistical difficulties aside, the location...

This is our honeymoon trip to korea and we wanted to stay in a hotel with the best sea view, nearby seafood restaurant and most importantly, places for us to explore. Yeosu has all the needs for us. After experiencing once, till today i still can't forget the feeling when i was there, still wanting to experiencing it again. One word to describe, FANTASTIC !!!

Pros: Good value for the type of hotel this was. MVL was twice the price. Room was clean and front staff were professional and helpful. Cons: The location isn't the most ideal. Few taxi drivers had no clue where the hotel was as it is located in an obscure spot. It cost about 5000 won from the train station to the hotel. To get to anywhere from the hotel, it cost ab...

Well, the hotel is situated in front of the water. I booked the double room n asked for twin room at the spot. They said yes without extra charge. The lady at the front desk spoke prefect putunghua. She is soooo friendly. Of, there's a cosy cafe next to the lobby.

I don't know how others did it, but for a less-experienced traveler like me, whose knowledge in Hangul is level 1, I found it REALLY hard to find the guesthouse from the bus terminal. A kind ahjussi had to accompany me to the police station to help me find it. It is just across the Expo Station though, so you wouldn't have a hard time getting to it if you came by train...

Just opened a few weeks ago - the whole building, furniture, equipment, bedding etc is brand new and spotless! Nicely located near the aquarium 15 minutes walk from expo station towards Odongo. I was in a lovely 4 bed dorm that had a large window with water views. Spacious bunk bed with comfy mattress. Nice bright bathroom was attached. Hair dryer, hair straightener an...

We needed a room for a night before we left for Seoul before, we headed back to Seoul. While there are shops and restaurants near by, attractions for Yeosu far-about $10.00/20-30 mins. However, bus and train stations are really close and rooms are clean-if you don't mind some features. Hardly no contact with front desk....

It's very convenient to live here. It's near the station and the square. The boss is very nice and casual. His English is good. The room is quiet and clean, the bed is comfortable, the hotel provides breakfast, so it's nice, if any of my friends want to visit, I will recommend it next time,thank you.

It was our choice to stay in this hotel as we wanted to go last minutes tour go Yeosu expo in South Korea, while on a business trip there. This hotel is a small sized cruise ship. It does really sail between Korea and Japan. So dont expect to find this hotel on a regular basis. There were only two of us on board with many many service people during our stay. Imagine!...

This was a beautiful little hotel close to the water and within minutes of many of the great attractions in Yeosu. The staff was great and was ready to fill any need we had from bottled water to calling us a taxi. The rooms were bigger than expected, but if you are used to western style beds you might be a little surprised by the harder beds here in Korea. There wer...

While its proximity to the bus terminal was convenient and the rooms were significantly nicer than the typical Korean motel, the clueless staff ruined our stay. They are not used to dealing with Agoda reservations, so at first they refused to honor our reservations (despite it was already paid for and CONFIRMED). Agoda is at least partially at fault for not explainin...

This is probably the best hotel that you can possibly find in Yeosu. It is VERY pricey for what its worth but the hotel is relatively luxurious with nice silky bed sheets, clean room throughout, and most of all, the view of Yeosu sea. I highly recommend this place if you do not mind spending a bit of money and get an amazing view.

We did not know what to expect when we booked, but when we got to Yeosu, we were pleasantly surprised to find that U Castle was above the new business section of Yeosu and was relatively newer and very clean. The rooms are gigantic as are the baths, and the view of the city and surrounding hills are quite spectacular. The downside is that the hotel does not provide lun...

If you are looking for a motel with "reasonable" condition, it could be a solution. But please don't expect too much. small room with uncomfortable bed matress. no closet or drawer. no shower curtain. no breakfast. But the young man in the front desk was kind enough to inform me a good tip to park(as the motel park was full of cars at that night). If I have chan...

The staff helped me out a great deal. They did not hesitate to help me figure out my flights, ferries, train rides for leaving the city. They spoke very good English and were exceptionally hospitable. I did lose my camera while I was there which was certainly hard but it was unclear whether it was my own fault or the actions of a resident unaffiliated with the staff. ...

Traveler impressions of Yeosu-si
Yeosu-si is still under developing after the 2012 Expo. Thinking it will become better one to two years later.
Yi Sun Shin square, Odongdo & Yeosu Expo are the must visit place. Try to experience with S-Train if you are from Busan to Yeosu.
Basic Korean will help you a long way as people here knew little English. Tourist Information Booth would be the best place in communicating in other languages.
Yeosu is mostly a quiet city with a small town feel. Located on the southern coast, it is famous for its delicious seafood.
We visited the place in autumn and only spend about 1 night in Yeosu-si; which I find it too short to explore the city; however, we were able to cover the major attractions - Odong-do and Dolsan Park.
After hosting the world marine expo in summer of 2012, Yeosu has probably benefited from better services.
We went to Yeosu for the World Expo. We also visiting some of the main sights such as the Jinnamgwan, replica turtle ship (small fee), Jasan Park, Dolsan Bridge.

More about Yeosu-si
The landscape of Yeosu, complete with the Yeosu peninsula and famous Dolsan Bridge, makes it a photographer’s dream. Often tourists and locals will gather for a night of drinks and entertainment along Dolsan Park, taking in the sights and definitely snapping one of two photos. The park is definitely the best vantage point for not only the bridge but for the many different districts of Yeosu, each accentuated by either a coastline or mountain range to create a stunning cityscape.
Hyangiram Hermitage is an impressive structure that serves a monastery and sort of temple, located on a cliff and overlooking the sea. The hermitage offers spectacular views of the sea and surrounding landscape, and the trek up the cliff to witness it is certainly part of the adventure.
There’s a lot more to see and do in Yeosu, and the best way to discover what else this city has to offer in terms of attractions, landmarks, and hotels is by exploring the interactive map on this page.
