    A very pleasant stay. The beds are really comfortable
    • Leisure trip

    • Deluxe Twin with City View
    • Stayed 1 night

    We booked a deluxe two person bedroom with 1 or 2 beds city view including breakfast. But we were with 3 adults. And the price including breakfast was apparently only for 2 person. So we were a bit suprised/ taken back that when we want to eat breakfast that we had to pay for breakfast for the 3th person. I havent seen it on the website that including breakfast was only for 2 persons and not for the total people you have booked. There should be a text or something when you make the booking for this hotel.

    The Hotel is right across gwangalli beach and we came for the drone show. So location is very convenient. We stayed at 3 places in South Korea, but this hotel was the only place where we almost overslept and slept comfortable. The beds are so heavenly. The hotelroom is really spacious and in the bathroom the shower and toilet are seperated with a wand. Too bad we only booked for 1 night. if I knew I booked for more nights in this hotel. The view from the hotelroom is also wonderful. Breakfast was also very delicious.

    Station was about 1 km walk. Area was extremely busy over the weekend we went, not sure if always like that. Even walking along beach area was overwhelming with the number of people

    Great sized room and nice big bathroom. Comfortable furnishings, right on beach. Lovely view of beach from hotel lobby. Good area for running.

    It could be loud if the windows were open. We were unable to modify the temperature in the room because the front desk controls it, so we were forced to open the windows at night.

    Location and lounges were nice!

    Staff was great even though I only speak Spanish and English they were able to communicate with me perfectly in English which I’m thankful for! Perfect location with the cross walk to access the beach steps from the elevator. The room itself was larger than I imagined which helped me rest comfortably!

    There is a smell I think coming from the street but it’s something I don’t believe the hotel can control so it wasn’t much of a bother to us.

    Second time staying here and it was great. The room is the perfect size for two people and everything from the lobby to the room is clean and very trendy. The hotel is in the perfect spot with a lot to do!

    The happy hour starts and ends very early and is overly expensive.

    I very rarely give a 10 as a review. But this hotel is amazing for the price. Reception upgraded us to a view room at no charge. There are chairs on each floor to enjoy the view and a huge lounge on the third and top floors. The room was spacious with one of the best beds we had in Korea, and an excellent separate shower that doesn’t flood the bathroom. The glass elevators with a view of the ocean are cool.

    The room was stupidly arranged: the bed could be approached only from one side, no bedside (reading) lamps ! There was no bedside table eeither, the central switch-off is only the one side of the double bed. If you switched of the main switch - no current in the plugs. So you can not charge neither your mobile phones, nor your camera.

    The localisation (you can see the bridge and the beach) is fantastic, the view from the premium room was fabulous.

    Our room has a fantastic view of the seashore with the lighted bridge in the horizon. It was well appointed, roomy and clean. Cupboards were spacious and the bathroom was well designed to make best use of space. The hotel is at the corner of a major intersection yet it was not noisy at all.It did mean however, that we were able to walk everywhere either along the beach front or to restaurants and shops.Moreover taxis or Uber are not expensive in Busan. Definitely recommend this hotel
