Mountain View Hotels in Busan

"I had a wonderful 3-night stay here! I chose this apartment because it’s right across from the Songdo Cable Car , Songdo beach and relatively close to Gamcheon Culture Village, which made sightseeing very convenient. The apartment was cozy, and felt like home. The bed was super comfy too🥺. I really appreciated the detailed instruction guide I found on the table —it explained everything clearly and made the stay completely stress-free. And the view from the terrace was absolutely stunning! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it."

"This feels like a luxury hotel, but the substance is lacking… 1. **No in-room phone.** If I wanted to call the front desk, I had to use my own phone to find the number in the booklet and dial it. 2. **Low floors are… well.** The 'ocean view' was useless. Some building's water tank and a Holly's coffee shop blocked most of it. I had to crawl on the floor, taking 5,000 photos, to get just one decent shot. So, if you're on a low floor, you'll have to crawl to see the ocean! Okay, maybe this is my fault for not paying more for a higher floor. BUT, the room photos in the introduction made it seem like there was an unobstructed ocean view, which feels like a scam. There weren't many hotel reviews, so I couldn't have known. I feel cheated. 3. **The biggest problem is privacy.** The toilet faces a window, and the jacuzzi and shower are also in front of full-length windows. Since it's a low floor, you can make eye contact with people in the cafe across the street. My bathroom breaks, showers, and jacuzzi use could all be public! I don't know if the windows are meant to be covered, but it felt very awkward. I had to keep the blinds fully down to use the bathroom and jacuzzi, which defeats the purpose of an 'ocean view' and felt very stifling. They told me not to close the jacuzzi window because of humidity, but the shower is right there, and I almost froze showering! Seriously, you'd think they'd put more thought into the design, even beyond the ocean view… 4. **The room is so big, but there are no mirrors anywhere** you’d expect one! Only the bathroom mirror, which made doing makeup and getting dressed in the morning incredibly inconvenient. 5. **I used a barrier-free room, but as an able-bodied person, I didn't feel any consideration for disabled guests.** Even I, a seasoned traveler in my 20s, had trouble distinguishing between the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I almost ran out of hot water in the shower trying to figure it out. The labels are tiny and on the back somewhere, so you have to really search. Couldn't they use dedicated bottles or at least proper labeling? 6. **There's no room service or similar services, but other services are expensive.** Maybe I just couldn't find it, but usually, hotel F&B services are in the in-room booklet, aren't they? There was nothing. Okay, maybe because it's a lower-star hotel, it wouldn't have it. BUT, late check-out extension costs 33,000 won (which isn't cheaper than other luxury hotels). So, the standard doesn't reach luxury hotel levels, but the service fees feel comparable to one. Breakfast also felt similar, so I didn't use it. Considering all of this, if you're just looking for a cost-effective place, it's okay."

"The hotel staff kindly helped store my luggage and brought it to my room once it was ready for check-in. The location is excellent, with many interesting late-night eateries nearby. The room is very new, and the view is stunning. In fact, the room, its view, and the facilities were even better than the hotel’s promotional photos. The hotel also provided very clear directions, making it easy to find. If I return to Busan, I will definitely stay here again."

"Location is perfect, as far as the service. The hotel is an old fashioned hotel with old moquette con the floor. The bathroom was perfectly clean while the room was a bit stinky and the floor not very clean. For the price we paid, it was worthing! Good for a couple of nights."

"During the day, the noise from neighboring businesses closing was quite disruptive due to poor soundproofing. There wasn't enough toilet paper; we only had less than half a roll. The light switch for the bathroom and shower is combined with the exhaust fan, which is very noisy when turned on. The bedside outlets were too loose. Other than that, everything else was fine."

"The hotel is in an amazing area, even though the hotel entrance isn't on a very pretty street, the main road is just a few meters away. The only thing we didn't like is that the closet is tiny and only has two hangers. There's nowhere to put suitcases or clothes; you have to open and close your luggage on the floor to get things out. Even in the bathroom, there's no space for toiletries; it's barely big enough for toothbrushes, and there's no room for a toiletry bag. In that regard, it's very inconvenient."

"Took the local bus from Incheon (5h+ ride) which put me near Jungdong station. The hotel was about a 10min walk away. Great location, closest bus stop is about a 2min walk away and easy to get to the rest of Busan. 5min walk to the beach. Haeundae station itself is about a 10min walk away, and so is the Haeundae Intercity bus stop. Haeundae market is about 5min away, so accessible but away from the crowds. My room had a sofa and desk and a toilet, separate from the shower. The hotel has a sauna with four pools, two lukewarm with massage functions and one hot and one cold pool. It also has two steam rooms and they offer massage and scrub services for a fee. Guests get complimentary access but you have to request the ticket at the reception and bring soap and shampoo when you use the sauna (also available for purchase at reception). Sauna is open until 9pm (8.20pm last entry) but the room also gets hot spring water piped to it. Toiletries are available for purchase from the vending machines (or just grab them from the nearest convenience store or Daiso) The washer/dryer in the hotel was fast (~45min each cycle) and dried my clothes very well. There's a sky lounge on the 20th floor but I didn't use it. There was no breakfast offered at the time I stayed."

"I love everything else but where it’s located is in the mountain and it has only 2 road that reaches the hotel not to mention that it’s really dark and scary road at that. One of them is really narrow dark that you can’t see thing very well specially the road, it’s surrounded by trees and farm ground which has dogs. I was really scared to go over there so i just took a taxi. Even looking for taxi is troublesome."

"The room is large, the sanitation is very clean, the front desk service is very good and very warm, the hotel location is very convenient, very close to the capsule train. It is just to install a shelf or hook in the bathroom sink to put things."
