Pros:

Stanza molto particolare con letto comodissimo e vasca grande. Presenti calici per vino e cavatappi, tazze per il caffè, bollitore, phon, frigo. Ogni giorno ci sono state date almeno 2 bottigliette di acqua. Posizione comodissima vicino a Gwangalli beach. Piscina aperta fino alle 22 con vista sul mare con il ponte.

Cons:

La colazione non era disponibile a causa di lavori di ristrutturazione. Non era possibile avere il buio completo nella stanza in quanto la tapparella copriva solo parzialmente la finestra. Pulizia della camera un po' tardi (a volte alle 3 di pomeriggio).

Perfect Location for a stay in the middle of Busan.
Pros:

We enjoyed the cosy designed room and hotel.
It’s a pity that the Restaurant/Cafe was closed. It’s a Perfect Location for sightseeing but also for visiting the beach.

Beautiful but strange room
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful and boasts excellent facilities, including a large pool and a spa. The breakfast area is stunning, and I imagine the meals served here are of a high standard. The room is equipped with a record player, and we were welcomed with music playing — a touch that made our stay really enjoyable. The shower is wonderful, with great water pressure, and the bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent, just steps away from the beach and the main street, which is lined with bars, restaurants, convenience stores, and an Olive Young right nearby. Despite being close to the main street, the room is very quiet.

Cons:

Although beautiful, the room is not at all practical, the layout is quite confusing. You enter through the bathroom, which is divided into separate sections: toilet, sink, and shower. The sink area is small, so I couldn't fit all my daily essentials there. There is nowhere to hang wet towels, no trash can near the sink, and no hand soap. The bed takes up a large portion of the room. This isn't a good choice for those with a lot of luggage, as there is no closet for storage. It is also not a good option if you want to work from your room. There is an attempt at minimalism, but it feels a bit excessive. The hotel also fell short by not having a scale to weigh luggage, which caused us trouble on our return journey. A scale is a basic item for a hotel. Another point is that breakfast service is suspended, and given that coffee shops open late here, this is an inconvenience.

Pros:

Ambiance globale comme si on logeait dans une grotte, lits au sol dans un carcan en béton (revêtement non irritant des murs), c’est sympa

Cons:

Le restaurant était en travaux, donc les petits déjeuners inclus n’ont pas été satisfaits, on aurait pu nous prévenir avant d’arriver

Hotel genial
Pros:

Superó todas nuestras expectativas... Habitación 10, cama 10, instalaciones de 10, personal 10... En la habitación teníamos un tocadiscos y musica que se oía genial ademas de vistas parciales a la playa ademas de poder conectar tu movil por bluetooth. El personal encantador y hay opcion de reservar el spa gratis!! Ademas de que puede elegir el aceite esencial para el spa y llevartelo a casa!! Encima tenia WC japones. La bañera de madera le daba el toque especial al baño. Experiencia de 10

Cons:

No había desayuno incluido por remodelación nos dijeron... Deberíamos haber hecho el spa los dos días que estuvimos y solo lo hicimos uno... Pero por ponerle alguna pega, todo fue genial en este hotel. ENhorabuena

Pros:

직원분들도 친절하시고, 다른 숙소와는 다르게, 명상탕이 있어서 휴식을 즐기기에 정말 최고였어요. 다음에 부산갈일 있으면 또 방문하고싶네요
