Our take
We stayed with parents and a baby in an Ocean Junior Suite facing Mipo Harbor, on a high floor with the sea in view from both the living room and the bedroom. This is a residence with a full kitchen and not a hotel, and that was the point: we bought groceries and grilled beef for a family dinner with the ocean outside the window. The kitchen has an induction cooktop, an oven, a microwave and a coffee machine, and there is a bathtub.
Know what you are booking. Units are individually owned and several companies manage them, so room types and booking rules vary between listings. The complex is large and the lobby is plain, so check your route to check-in before you arrive. Prices have climbed and it no longer feels like half the cost of Signiel Busan in the same tower. If you want hotel service, a lounge and a pool, book Signiel. If you want space, a kitchen and the view, book this.

Haeundae & Songjeong, Busan: Busan's beach coast: Haeundae's 1.5 km of sand lined with five-star and value hotels, and quieter Songjeong and Osiria a few stops east, with surf, the Blueline Park coastal train and Lotte World Busan.

What locals say
Locals have left about 750 reviews, and the view is mentioned by almost everyone. The apartments are clean and stylish, with a full kitchen, tableware, a coffee machine, a wine fridge and L'Occitane toiletries, so families book them for birthdays and gatherings. The common complaints are practical: the front desk is hard to find, the walk between the desk, the car park and the room is long, layouts differ from unit to unit and holiday prices are high.
