Great location, average hotel

My stay here was for 1 night to see the Busan drone show, unfortunately the drone show was cancelled due to weather. As for the hotel amazing views from skyline lounge and rooftop, however there are limited tables with a good view. I booked the lounge package and evening drinks and meal options were great, great choices of local cuisine. Room was a decent size but it was an angled view of the bridge not a direct straight on view. Soundproofing is non existent, you can hear conversations anytime people walked past in the corridor and other toilets flushing. Also no real privacy when using the bathroom so if you feel shy doing your business with others in the room this might need to be considered. As for the area, it is very lovely and you can hear the noise in the hotel so is that is not for you, choose a different hotel. Location - outstanding you are in the heart of everything. Staff are friendly but not overall so. Overall, I could probably do one or two nights in this hotel but nothing more.

Cleanliness was average. The room and bathroom were clean, but there were a few spots where the room was not clean completely. I did appreciate that the staff cleaned the room well during my visit. The weather outside did not warrant the heat to be turned on inside the rooms. The AC and Auto function of the room HVAC was disabled, and only heat could be turned on. I ended up opening the window and turning off the unit to help cool it down, but it did not work well. Additionally, the area was really loud, so when the window was open, I had to use earplugs to be able to sleep well. Other than those items, the stay was nice. It was conveniently located. I am pleased.

Facilities need upkeep

The doors/barriers between the shower and the rest of the bathroom would not close properly so every time I would shower water would get all over the floor.

Very nice hotel for the price. Great location. Beautiful views of the beach AND city. Convenientl to restaurants, bars and shops. My room was clean and spacious. The room had a mini bar (addt'l charge of course) and the tv came equipt with Netflix. The front desk staff spoke decent english. The 15th floor has the hotel restaurant with even more amazing views and a very good breakfast buffet. Its a little over priced at nearly 30,000 krw. A longer stay would have allowed me to view the other dining options in the restaurant. I only stayed 1 night, so the only negative i could find was that the elevators are painfully slow. Other than that, a great hotel experience.

Great location, rooms were as advertised and clean, bathroom showing their age slightly but overall the hotel is pretty good. Dining at the hotel expensive but plenty of dining options nearby so no real issue (the few times we went to the rooftop the restaurant was very empty, could be so much more with those amazing views!), great opportunity….

Property is conveniently located to everything. Plenty of dining options surrounding the hotel with entertainment and beach activities. Hotel room was okay with crisp clean linens. The bathroom could’ve been cleaner and was extremely moldy.
