Pros:

Belle piscine et chambres très bien décorées, proche plage

Cons:

Manque d’espace si vous avez des grosses valises, il manquait certains équipements comme des mouchoirs, pas de crochet pour accrocher les grosses serviettes et présence d’une légère odeur d’humidité

Modern and vibrant stay in Busan, very well located
Pros:

Very good location and very modern
Special vibe and decoration which is different of what we are used to.
Adorable staff

Cons:

No trashcan in the room (except for a ultra mini one in the wc)
Nowhere to hang your towels

Not really a negative point because it s very clear on the pictures on booking but you need to Consider the fact that the rooms are very small with low ceiling painted in red, it can give a strange feeling. We were a couple and decided to upgrade to a room of 4 and it still felt small.

Optik mega! Komfort eher weniger. Als Ausgangspunkt super!!
Pros:

Wir hatten ein G-Type Zimmer mit einer Onse auf dem Balkon, das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Zimmer selbst haben auch ihren Charme. Man bekommt täglich 4 Wasserflaschen aufs Zimmer. Der Pool ist beheizt und war sehr angenehm.
Der Personal ist auch sehr nett, spricht aber nicht so gut englisch. Er empfahl uns aber ein super Sashimi-Restaurant, das war mega!

Cons:

Die Poolmusik war viel zu laut bis nach 22 Uhr und begann morgens wieder um 7 Uhr. Ich hatte das an der Rezeption angesprochen, seit dem war es ruhig. Achtung bei der Zimmerauswahl! 18 qm sind nicht wirklich komfortabel. Das Gepäck kann so nur schwer aufgemacht werden. Es gibt auch keinen Schrank, in dem man alles verstauen könnte.
In der Dusche kann man den Duschkopf nicht zum Duschen befestigen, aber es gibt zusätzlich eine Regendusche. Der Wasserdruck ist super!
Was ich überhaupt nicht verstehe, warum es keine Handtuchhalterungen gibt…
Mückenalarm! Nachts nicht mehr lüften! Wir hatten einen Mückenstecker dabei, der uns gerettet hat.
Der Kühlschrank brummt Tag und Nacht vor sich hin.
Das Bett ist bequem, aber rundherum in die Ecken darf man nicht schauen… bei uns lagen zB ein Pflaster, Staub und eine Menge Haare.
