Stunning Ocean Views

I stayed in a Deluxe Double Room with Sea View on the 18th floor, and the views were breathtaking, both day and night. The access to the rooftop garden was an added bonus, where I enjoyed beautiful evening vistas of Busan. It was a perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the city.

I had a pleasant stay overall, but the room was a bit small for three adults, and the cleanliness could be improved as I noticed some hairs sticking to my slippers after walking around. However, the view from the room was fantastic, and the air conditioning worked well. The service was outstanding; the staff was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to assist us. The location was also a real highlight, just a short walk from the subway and close to local attractions, making it convenient to explore. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there's room for improvement.

Rooms

While the rooms were clean at first glance, they felt a bit cramped for three adults. After putting on slippers, I unfortunately found a lot of hair from the carpet, indicating it might not have been vacuumed daily. The view was excellent and added a lot to the stay.

I had a nice stay at this hotel with some fantastic views and a very clean, modern bathroom. The room was comfortable, though I had to keep the A/C running at night to stay cool, which left me with a dry throat in the morning. The staff were exceptionally helpful and friendly, but the dining options could have been better. The hotel is conveniently located close to Jagalchi Market and other attractions, making it easy to explore the area.
