Superb views with great access to the ocean, bridge views, drone show and lots of local eateries within walking distance. There's also a beloved local cat that greets you by the photo studio.
The bed was quite uncomfortable. Minimal pillows and towels which is kind of unusual for hotels.
The plus is that the area has a lot of restaurants and food nearby. It is a busy area when we went in September.
Room is not very clean
I visited regularly in Busan. I stayed several different hotels but this is the worst. I do not have any plan for next visit at all at this hotel
Amazing view of ocean and bridge. Close to lots of great restaurants and cafes. At the step of beach. Can’t speak highly enough about this hotel.

Beautiful stay
It was directly opposite the beach and bridge. Nearby a lot restaurants. The room walls need a make over. Nearby cherry blossom road. Easy to take a cab to move around.
Great room nice big size with a great view of the beach and bridge.
Room was very clean as the maid service came to our room daily to fix the bed and give us clean towels even though we did not request it.

This property is right across the street from the beach and the drone show is accessible to be viewed from your room as long as you book the oceanview room. there might be a window in the room that might slightly block your way. However since you are right across the street and there is a top floor where you can access to see it, it will help out. We watched it twice: once on the beach and later in the room and it was more fun to watch it on the beach. There are plentiful options for food and entertainment. The hotel is relatively clean but as it is an older hotel there are some parts where it may seem aged or stained on furniture like the chairs in the rooms.
Large room with a good view of Gwangalli Bridge. Across the street from the beach. Comfortable bed and blankets. A bit of a walk to subway. Did not try pool facilities as it was extra and you need a rashguard.
Room is too small compared to price.
This hotel can not be 4 Star Hotel.
I expect 4 Star hotel, but it is 2 star hotel.

Staff was available & helpful. Fantastic oceanfront view from the rooms. And the sky walk roof observatory is a plus. Great location on the center of Gwangali beachfront. A bit noisy from street activity. Hotel facility is pretty tired; holes in walls, some patched some not. And if patched not painted over. Scrapes & scuffs on walls & elevator & the ceiling was leaking in the lobby. Those things brought the experience down a bit. Rooms were clean & basic necessities provided: water, tea/coffee, slippers, hairdryer, etc. just needs some TLC.

All good except the bathroom smell (really bad)
Location was amazing and the room was clean. I only have one complaint, which is the chronic sewage smell in the bathroom. I’m not sure whether is was just our bathroom but the smell was absolutely horrible.
