How is Haeundae Hotel in Busan, South Korea? Shilla Stay Haeundae is a good place to stay

#100 Ways to Travel Address: 46 Haeun-daero 570beon-gil, Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea 46 Atmosphere/Facilities: Swimming pool, gym, good location, convenience store and restaurant on the first floor Features: The high-ceilinged lobby faces Haeundae Beach directly, and the lobby is the most comfortable Price: NT$4,000 per night Rating: The hotel is in a very good location, with the best angle and view of the beautiful Haeundae Beach. The lobby is decorated in high ceilings and dark grey tones, which gives it a very textured feel. Alcoholic beverages are served at the long table in the lobby at night. In addition, there are convenience stores (relatively expensive), cafes, restaurants, and bars on the first floor. Transportation: It is quite far from the subway, so it is suitable to take the airport bus to Haeundae Station or take a taxi. If you arrive early, there is a free luggage storage area in the hotel lobby. The hotel staff are very friendly. Whether it is checking in or there is a problem with the room in the middle of the night, they are basically very patient and kind to serve foreign tourists. They would neglect to provide the free gifts for booking a room to the travelers, and even after they asked us about it and asked us to practice booking the room, they still didn't provide it. We stayed in room 802. Please note that the cheapest rooms are on the 7th and 8th floors, and the prices of upgraded rooms will increase as you move up. The room is average, the bed is small but soft enough. The small sofa is integrated with the desk. The TV is small and only has Korean Channel 4. The bathroom has a small bathtub and the tiles are old. The bidet toilet also worked fine. Nothing wrong with the big hair dryer. There is a small bar, a small refrigerator, and a simple wardrobe for leaving your coat when you go out. The overall feeling is old but clean. The wallpaper on many walls has expanded due to moisture, which further reduces the grade of the room. There is a design that I don’t know whether it is considerate or shocking. There is a sliding door between the room and the mini bar. The sliding door can be closed to enhance sound insulation and make the room more private. The problem is that after closing the sliding door, the transparent glass in the bathroom allows you to directly see your roommates taking a bath in the bathtub and using the toilet. In addition, the corridor lights are sensor-based, so if you get up in the middle of the night, you may be easily startled by the images reflected by the glass. When you go to the toilet, the bright light will also affect other people who are resting. The worst room experience overall. This time we heard a bunch of heavy motorcycles roaring past and the sound of supercars on the road next to Haeundae Beach in the middle of the night. We reported it to the hotel and they helped us move to a high floor, 1401. As a result, we were indeed moved to a higher floor, but the floor was moved to the rock section at the intersection closest to the road. The noise continued until four in the morning, and he fell asleep due to exhaustion. I originally thought that in countries where it snows in winter, famous hotels should have double-glazed windows to keep out the cold and insulate against heat, indirectly achieving a soundproofing effect. But it is in Shilla Stay in Gwanghwamun, Seoul, but not in Haeundae. This experience ruined my good experience of staying at Shilla Stay in Gwanghwamun, Seoul. After changing rooms, the hotel staff always provided free snacks and drinks as compensation. It is recommended that the focus should be on repairs and sound insulation to be worthy of the grade of your hotel. Later I found out that the price of a standard hotel room is charged by floor, and the room layouts are basically the same, the only difference is whether there are free snacks and drinks in the refrigerator! The only difference is if it is a higher-end sea view or executive room.
