This is not a hotel It is very clean and good Inn,The best part is definitely the view. it’s one of the best views in Gwangalli. The beach is within easy walking distance, which is very convenient. If you’re looking for a luxury experience, this may not be the place, but if you want a clean, simple stay with a beautiful view and a great location, I definitely recommend it. Clean and comfortable

Right across the street from Gwangali Beach. Very convenient location next to shops/restaurants along the beachfront. Very friendly staff. Many people discuss the hotel only having 2 elevators; personally, I never had issue with having to wait more than a minute. Busan is much more spread out but thankfully the subway station is about a ~10 minute walk from the hotel and is extremely easy to take and get around. No laundry on site but there are 24-hour laundromats nearby (if needed, check out Laundry Club just before the subway station 👍).

Great and spacieous room with good view to the ocean. Can be a bit noisy due to loud music from the beach. Light Sensor that cant be turned off activates sometimes during night if you move too much in bed. AC isn't the most quiet. Apart from that i loved my stay in the hotel

Staff was fantastic and so helpful. Check in was a breeze. The facilities and our room was clean and comfortable. The only negative I had with this hotel was the elevator situation. There was only one working elevator during our stay and it ran quite slow.
