Closer to Gwangalli Beach than I expected. It's my first time seeing a hotel that sells bath bombs; I didn't buy any, but I think it's great for those who need them. The staff were also friendly. However, the duvet had serious stains, and the cleanliness was really disappointing. It seemed like it hadn't been cleaned well, and there was hair. Aside from that, I think it's a good place!

Due to Trip.com's overbooking, our accommodation was changed from Seomyeon to Gwangalli. Although the location was a bit far from Gwangalli Beach, which made it a little inconvenient, the hotel facilities and staff's kindness were excellent. The soundproofing was good, and with two shower stalls and a karaoke room in the basement, the kids loved it. Check-out was also very convenient with a card return machine.
Seems like a great place to visit with friends too! 👍👍👍

The location is excellent, about a 5-minute walk from Gwangalli Station and less than 10 minutes to the beach. There isn't a dining table in the room, but there was ample space otherwise, and the air conditioning worked very well, keeping the room cool. It was also great to be able to use the styler for clothes care, and the large TV was perfect for watching videos. However, it was a shame that there was a sewage smell coming from the bathroom from night until morning. Also, there was some dust and stains on the bedding and pillows.

The moment I stepped in, I was hit with the smell of long hair and a strong sewage odor from the bathroom. It was the worst.

Response from Property: First of all, I would like to apologize. I am very sorry that the cleaning was not done thoroughly. We will inspect and check it again.

It is clean but it leans more towards a motel. The walls are pretty thin. I couldn’t tap in after first night…and getting help was quite difficult since it was midnight.

The front desk staff were all lovely! The steam machine didn't seem to do much, though. It's not too far from Gwangalli Beach and there's a CU convenience store nearby. Plus, with the subway and bus stops so close, getting around is super convenient.

The location of the hotel is really great. Just a few minutes walk to the subway station and to the gwangalli beach.
My favourite about the hotel is THERES A CLOTHES CLEANING/PURIFICATION MACHINE in the room for us to desanitise the clothes that has barbecue smell 🤭.
Netflix channel was also available which is a plus plus plus.
Response from Property: Thank you for staying at The Barn Stay. We will do our best to ensure you have a wonderful stay on your next visit as well. Thank you.

Convenient location, but everything else was pretty average, comparable to a budget chain hotel back home (China) costing 200-300 yuan. Personally, I found Gwangalli a bit too lively, perhaps better suited for younger people. If you're looking for a relaxing vacation, Haeundae would be a better choice.

Thanks for the room upgrade, but the pillowcases and floor were a bit dirty. The location is great, and the staff are friendly. All toiletries are provided, including disposable shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and body towels, and there are plenty of regular towels too.

Right by Gong'an Station, and easy to find. The entrance is small, but the room itself was spacious, clean, and stylish. It came with indoor slippers and separate bathroom slippers, a thin bathrobe, internet TV, and even a clothes dryer! The amenities included facial cleanser, toothbrush, toner, and lotion in a black box on the desk. The shampoo and conditioner in the bathroom were also good quality. They even offer hair straighteners for loan. Since it's a 'no-shoes-indoors' style, it's highly recommended for Japanese travelers.

Great location and well-stocked amenities, highly recommend! It seems to be a Japanese love hotel, but since I was just staying for a concert, I didn't mind at all. However, I'm not sure what the usual clientele is like, so if that's a concern for you, you might want to look elsewhere.

Response from Property: I'm relieved to hear that you were able to enjoy the concert without any problems. It seems you experienced some inconvenience during your stay. I sincerely apologize for that. I will look into ways to block the noise during the next construction. I apologize again, and thank you.
