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.

Traumhafter Ausblick in modernem koreanischen Stil.
Pros:

- Der Ausblick von unserem Zimmer auf den Gwangan Strand und die Brücke war zum Verlieben
- super zentral nah an einer Bahnstation

Cons:

- Das Zimmer hätte etwas sauberer sein können, aber betrifft nur Kleinigkeiten

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.

Au tout début nous avons eu une petite chambre, nous avons demandé un upgrade et le personnel de l’hôtel était très généreux , puis nous a proposé une plus grande chambre avec la vue sur la mer pour mon anniversaire

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.

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.
