Loved itttttt
The ocean view and the lodging location were really close to the sea, so I was very satisfied! On the second day it suddenly rained and we were really surprised, but the front desk staff kindly lent us umbrellas, so we were able to leave with only good memories.
The accommodation was overall neat and clean, so I was able to rest comfortably. The bedding was soft and the room was well maintained. The staff also treated us kindly, so I had a pleasant experience. The location was convenient for getting around and there were many nearby amenities. If I come to this area again, I would like to stay here again!
I booked expecting that although the exterior looked somewhat old, the remodeled room would be neatly refurbished inside. However, the wallpaper was peeling in some places, and overall it felt like the cleaning had not been done thoroughly. Also, the hotel called before check-in to ask what time we would arrive, but they did not provide any special explanation, so I found that a bit odd. Overall, the stay had more disappointing aspects than I had expected.
The room was clean and tidy, which I liked. The building is tall and easy to find from a distance, and the location was satisfactory. The night view from the Sky Walk on the 20th floor is also beautiful. I recommend this place if you are looking for a hotel.
This is the best place in Gwangalli I want to be the only one who knows about it Accommodation
At this price, this view is truly the best Staying at this accommodation during my Busan trip was the best choice I made
The non-view, non-remodeled old room was honestly the worst worst worst. The moment we walked in it felt like entering an old grandmother's house. Everything was worn: an old sofa with weird colors, ugly patterned curtains, a terrible TV, the neighboring building right outside the window, and all the furniture was falling apart. Charging money for a room like this is shameful. Even with discounts, if I had known it would be this bad I would have paid more for a room with a view. I seriously regret it. How can they sell a room worse than a motel for 400,000 KRW for two nights? And because it was raining they said the infinity pool was closed and gave a coupon for the sauna instead. If some packages include the infinity pool and others do not, of course you should refund the difference. Redirecting customers with a coupon for a facility I didn't want makes no sense. The forecast showed rain both days, but the second day it didn't rain so I let it slide. They also said the pool had algae because of rain and wouldn't let us use it, but when we insisted they opened it. When I asked about a refund they said they would give one but then told me to rebook at full price? Who pays 200,000 KRW to stay in a room like that? I feel completely ripped off and will never go back. The photos for the non-view rooms are obviously the best angles and the real room was far worse. They did move us to another room which was slightly better, but it still felt no different from a motel. Thinking about it still makes me angry; the money was so wasted. I would rather sleep free on Gwangalli beach than stay there: it was dark, the air conditioning was weak, dirty, and worn. There was a lot of talk about the fifth floor; if I'd known this I would have complained harder and asked to be moved to a different floor. I feel awful for anyone else who gets this room because the review hides the room with a fireworks photo so you can't tell. If you get room 507 or 508, immediately ask to change rooms. To the hotel: please, if you have any conscience, stop selling rooms that haven't been remodeled. It's almost a scam to show clean photos and then give rooms like 507 and 508. Lower the price at least; nobody should pay 400,000 KRW for a room like that. The infinity pool has a nice view but pigeons flew into it and drank the pool water. We saw it happen several times even while people were there.
This is my second visit and I was so grateful they upgraded my room! The room is spacious and the ocean view is great, so we had a fun time!
The room was really clean and the bedding was comfortable, so I could fully relax during my stay. All the staff were friendly and attentive, so from check-in to check-out I felt well cared for. The location is convenient and the facilities are well equipped, so I definitely want to visit again.
