Goede ligging en goed ontbijtbuffet, maar geen comfortabel verblijf.
Pros:

Het hotel ligt direct aan het strand. Veel restaurants en café’s in de omgeving. Goed ontbijtbuffet met veel keuzemogelijkheden.

Cons:

Bedden waren niet comfortabel en ook maar 1 kussen, dat te dik was. We hebben er 4 nachten verbleven. De schoonmaak was niet iedere dag goed, zoals geen badmat, te weinig toiletpapier, bed niet opgemaakt en gebruikte koffie kopjes niet opgeruimd en geen schone kopjes. Lastig om te douchen in een badkuip. Vensterbank met jaloezieën zijn daardoor helemaal nat geworden. De sporen daarvan, beschimmelde kitnaden, zijn daarom te zien. We hadden 2 2-persoonskamers geboekt. Om 15.30 uur ingecheckt, maar 1 kamer was nog niet klaar. Om 16.30 uur gevraagd of de andere kamer klaar is. Dat was zo, waren ze vergeten door te geven. Jammer ☹️

Would visit again.
Pros:

Great view of the beach and close to restaurants and cafes.

Cons:

had multiple problems with the toilet but they were quick to respond to our satisfaction. Breakfast was a bit bland for our tastes but handy to have a meal available before starting the day.

Pros:

Lovely hotel. Definitely worth paying for the ocean view as that's the best bit about it. We were able to check in early (which doesn't seem common in Korea). The view from the room is amazing, and the location was our favourite I'm the whole of Busan. Easy walk to the metro and many bars and restaurants on the doorstep. We used the rooftop but seemed to be the only people to do so! You can buy a drink from the GS25 on the ground floor and bring it up, would really recommend!

Cons:

I was nervous after seeing other reviews, but this hotel was great and great location. Could be slightly cleaner (dust bunny's under bed and our mugs in the room were only changed when we put them back by the coffee machine). Aircon defo on the older wider but kept us cool!

Pros:

Location was about the best they had to offer

Cons:

At the time.of our stay only 1 elevator, shared amongest all guests and cleaning staff, long waits for elevator, room we were offered a upgrade but feel short, because we had booked two rooms, one of the rooms had a better upgrade more spacious side view of the beach which was fine, on the other hand because of the other room upgraded it was bases in the corner of the hotel which meant less space so the upgraded rooms were not the same

Hotelul este chiar pe plajă, foarte aproape de o mulțime de restaurante, cafenele și o brutărie populară de-a lungul plajei.
Privelistile asupra plajei si a podului au fost fantastice.
Camera curata si pat confortabil.

주말 친구 3명 켄트호텔 광안리 식당-바다-칵테일 코스 추천
Pros:

피크 시즌은 아니었지만 주말 친구들과 즐거운 시간 캔트호텔에 머물며 보냈습니다.
위치가 1층 편의점에, 바로 바닷가라 너무 좋습니다. 주말 벼룩시장처럼 열린 시장 구경하며 걸어서- 맛집 “광안리 미포집”에 가서 저녁- 나오며 버스킹 구경에 광안대교와 파도소리 듣다가 “해피 몽크” 가서 칵테일 한잔… 숙소 시설은 3인 가능한 싱글+더블베드 있어 3명이 사용하기에도 너무 좋았어요! 방마다 다르겠지만 제일 작은 방이엇는지 노트북 작업할만한 책상이 없어 밤12시까지 홀 운영하는 파스쿠찌 가서 업무 작업햇어요. 광안대교 야경굿
결론 : 켄트호텔 광안리 넘 좋앗어요! 추천^^

Cons:

노트북 작업 필요한 분은 파스쿠찌 추천해 주시면 좋을 듯요^^
