The ocean view room was beautiful, and it's very close to Haeundae Beach. The room was spacious and bright. It was a great stay experience.

The window view from the room was truly stunning; it made for beautiful photos on a sunny day. Plus, it's incredibly close to the Mipo Capsule Train and the Beach Train, just under a five-minute walk through a shortcut. Haeundae Beach is also nearby. However, I'm not sure why, but when I asked the hotel the day before if they could call a taxi, they said yes. Yet, the next morning, the front desk was empty, and the elevator wasn't working. It was quite a struggle to carry my large suitcase down. Perhaps staff only arrive after 9 AM? Also, it's about a one-kilometer walk from the subway station, and it's mostly uphill to the hotel, so I'd recommend taking a taxi.

The location is great, with a view of the beach baths, and it's also very close to the seaside mini-train I wanted to visit. However, the facilities are quite old. Most of the guests staying there were elderly Koreans. I arrived late that day, and they gave me a room right opposite the elevator. When I asked to change, they didn't say it was full. I won't be staying here again.

Exceeded my expectations! This hotel is unbeatable during cherry blossom season, with sakura trees right downstairs. The only downside is that it's a bit far from the subway, so I mainly relied on taxis for getting around. The cafe on the second floor comes highly recommended.

This hotel boasts an unbeatable sea view right on Sakuragaoka Tsukimichi. It offers incredible value for money, and I'll definitely be back! Haha, next time, please make sure to save a room for me on the 8th floor! From there, you can enjoy cherry blossom showers, the ocean, the beach, and the capsule train all at once.

The location and environment are excellent, very close to the beach. I happened to visit when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, so the streets were lined with them. If you walk further in, you can see even denser blossoms. I walked for over an hour in the morning and saw the most beautiful light purple cherry blossoms, which I was very satisfied with!

The service was exceptionally poor. I had specifically requested not to be put in a room at the very end of the hallway, but they assigned one anyway. I had to speak to the front desk to get it changed to a room near the end. Even then, it was on a corner and felt incredibly eerie at night. They were completely unaccommodating to Chinese guests and impossible to communicate with!

My kid booked this, and for over 1500 RMB, it's absolutely terrible. You barely see anyone around, the room isn't great, and there's only one power outlet in the bathroom. I never usually leave reviews, but this was genuinely awful.

The place was quite far from the station and quiet during night time. However the view of the haeundae beach from our room is immaculate.. Room itself is also clean, with sufficient space for 2! Will book this room again in our next busan trip!

The hotel environment is excellent. Our sea-view room offered a great view of the ocean. It's about a five-minute walk to the Capsule Train and a ten-minute walk to the beach. Taxis are also very easy to get. The hotel's Southeast Asian restaurant has a beautiful ambiance.

The hotel has a great view and is very close to the funicular. The scenery outside the window is absolutely beautiful. Although the hotel is a bit old, it's kept very clean. The guy at the front desk was very helpful. Good value for money too!

The hotel is clean, the room has a great view of the bay, and is within walking distance of Haeundae beach. Would recommend for those that don't want to be in the busy city streets and prefers a quieter stay location with nice surroundings and views.
