Cosy rooms hotel
Pros:

The room was very cosy and the smell was great

Cons:

The morning yoga activity was bad. You pay extra, it’s in local language only and it’s for beginners.

Pros:

Very good location near Gwangalli beach

The hotel faces a fairly busy road, so not super quiet at night. Bring earplugs!

I loved the ambience.
Pros:

I like the shower and toilet room. Our room had 2 sinks which was nice. Lastly I just really like the atmosphere it gave us.

Cons:

Probably the lighting, its a little dim and the exhaust in the shower room it is too weak to suck up all the moist.

Pros:

I loved the friendliness of the reception staff and the hotel's areas.
Everything clean.
I love the details.

Cons:

The mattress was a bit uncomfortable.
The emergency light, activated at night, made it difficult to sleep; it shone directly in my face.

Minimalist, peaceful design, right by Gwangalli Beach, spotless rooms & exceptionally friendly Staff
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at After Chapter in Busan.

The hotel has a very unique, minimalist design that creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere. It’s perfectly located right by Gwangalli Beach, yet still feels peaceful and quiet.

Everything was very clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed. The staff were also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Cons:

The only small downside was that breakfast wasn’t available during our stay-but aside from that, everything was excellent.

Maravilhosa.
Pros:

Tudo conforme o esperado. Camas confortáveis, quarto limpo e boa localização. Gostaria de ressaltar sobre o ótimo café da manhã, comida muito gostosa e completa. Amei o iorgute e a granola feita pelo chef, melhor granola que já comi da minha vida. Queria poder comprar e levar pra casa kkkk quando retornar em Busan, vou querer me hospedar nesse mesmo hotel novamente.

Cons:

Nada a reclamar.

Pros:

Unterkunft hat uns auf den Bildern wirklich richtig gut gefallen. Die Lage und eigt auch die Art des Zimmers ist mal etwas anderes. Frühstück war auch lecker.

Cons:

Es hat überall an den letzten 10% Aufmerksamkeit bzw. Zusatzgedanke gefehlt (Blumen hingen vertrocknet in der Ecke, Bad war länger nicht benutzt und roch, jacuzzi war dreckig, 1 Stuhl für ein Doppelzimmer?). Ist alles nicht schlimm, aber wäre schön gewesen, wenn solche Kleinigkeiten halt nicht da wären.

Pros:

광안리 앞이라 구경하기는 좋음.

Cons:

생각보다 청결하진 않았다. 2인용 방인데 최대 3인까지 수용하기엔 너무 좁았음.
조식은 괜찮다는 말이 있었지만 이틀내내 같은 메뉴, 조식이라고하기엔 해비한 음식들.
