Pros:

Very clean, excellent location, kind owner, free laundry and instant ramen :) Thank you.

Cons:

The windows did not open, so one needed to always use AC. A shower curtain în the bathroom would help to not get everything wet ;). But all in all a fantastic stay, I definitely recommend.

Mooie twee dagen op top locatie
Pros:

Lokatie, goede koffie in je kamer, water purifier, ramen konden open

Cons:

Geen douchegordijn en kastje of hakjes in badkamer - je toilet tas moest je op de grond leggen, alleen kleine handdoekjes om zich af te drogen, geen avondverlichting en geen nachtlampje bij bed - heleboel kleine dingen die je verblijf veel aangenamer kunnen maken

I loved it and I'd definitely come back!
Pros:

The location couldn't have been better. It's at the heart of Gwangalli Beach's food and entertainment street. You can see the sunrise eclipsed by the bridge from the hotel room. The hosts were warm and welcoming. The facility was smartly designed. I stayed with my 70 year old parents and they praised how comfortable and pleasant their stay was. I would definitely book here the next time I find myself in Busan!

Cons:

I can't think of a single thing that could have made it better. I am likely to recommend this place to my friends.

Pros:

Perfect location, good sized room. Bed was comfortable. I especially liked the shared kitchen area, to do laundry. And was very well stocked with snacks, instant noodles and delicious coffee.

Cons:

Shower area is a bit small, but that’s classic in Korea.

老闆夫婦非常親切，住宿也很乾淨但是沒有每日打掃房間的服務，不過我不在意這點，住起來舒服，浴室也很多備品，熱水冰水很快就有，五樓還有個lounge提供免費泡麵餅乾糖果，就是小可惜沒有電梯，搬行李箱非常崩潰
Pros:

地點就在廣安里海水浴場旁邊 走出去不到兩分鐘就到了

Cons:

沒有電梯有點可惜 抬行李箱的時候會很崩潰
