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.

Stains, uncomfortable bed, bad smells
The bed was painful to lay on. The room was dirty, the walls were dirty, the cushions had stains everywhere. It is very loud, you can hear each person in the hall and room on either side. The hallway smelled like rotten trash. The windows with the ocean view were covered in a dirty film from not being cleaned on the outside that made viewing difficult. We checked out and did not complete our stay. This room was not as represented in pictures or as described. It was false advertising. This was the most disappointing stay and I am not trusting of hotels.com representation.

Property outside looked old but the rooms are clean and somewhat modern looking. I would prefer for them to hv a shower curtain as I don’t like the bathroom to be wet after each showers.
After walking around Busan, I personally like the vibe in Haeunda better. Very chill and colourful.

Amazing place, language difficulties.
This hotel was super nice and I would definitely come back here. Points to mention:
- Sauna/Jjimjilbang: You get 30% off the prices while staying here, but you do have to pay to enter. So, just a heads up if you expected it to be included.
- Hotel staff: The day we checked in was fine and there was a good English speaker, but the rest of the stay was iffy. Most of them had very limited english skills as well as the staff that manned to spa side of the desk. So, expect to be treated bluntly 😅. Have Google translate ready and I wish you the best.
Overall, super nice hotel and I would definitely stay here again with the convenience and big spa right there even though we needed to pay each use. Worth it in the end with affordable room rates.

We looooved the location and the view. However, the bed was rock hard! We stayed here for 3 nights and my body was not having a good time. It felt like a box spring instead of a mattress. Also, indoor and outdoor pool is listed but when i inquired about it... I was told indoor pool is only open weekdays after 4pm and the outdoor pool is 32$ per admission per person :/ no thanks. Our overall experience was ok but would not return.

Absolutely the hardest bed I’ve slept on in my life. Location is perfect but even after switching into another room the bed was still causing us back pain. We even got rug burn from the bed. The manager gave us a refund and we change our stay from four days to two

Great view, great location, old hotel
This hotel has one of the best and most beautiful views of the beach and the Busan bridge. The bad thing is that the hotel is very old and most of it is under construction. The room was clean but everything in it is old and outdated. The staff was great

Location is unbeatable. The state of the hotel left a bit to be desired. It’s clearly been there for a while. Korean beds are naturally very hard, which kinda sucks. The staff were wonderful.

Pool and the gym isn’t free. But the room had a great view. It gets really hot during the day and we couldn’t change the setting in the room. The hotel is pretty outdated overall and need some TLC.

Nothing special. They speak English at the front desk so that was helpful. It's right on the water and very accessible to everything on the front Road. The room is clean and modern. However the bed was rock hard. If I had a choice I would choose someplace else but if I'm in a bind I would stay here again. The price was fine but very limited on food sources within their hotel. Only one bar which was very small.

Overpriced hotel. The beds were rock hard, hallway smelled extremely bad. There were stains on the carpets, the room was a bit hot and curtains were dingy looking.
The only things i did enjoy were the free parking, the location and not to mention the view. But thats about it. I'm sure there's another hotel with the same things that are much cheaper.
