Our take
We stayed two nights in a Deluxe King and were moved to an ocean-view room at check-in, which seems to happen on quiet weekdays but is not something to count on. For the price the room is generous: hardwood floors, a proper desk, a bathroom split into three zones with two sinks, and a bedside tablet that runs the curtains, lights and TV. On a weekday this cost a fraction of what the five-star hotels nearby charge.
The heated rooftop pool is free for guests and was calmer than the one at L7 Haeundae, with a warm jacuzzi and a good sunset. The beach is a minute away. The main risk is the construction site in front of the hotel, which may block the sea view in time, so confirm your room category and view before you arrive. There is no lounge or laundry, and breakfast is forgettable. Leave a receipt review at the desk and you get an extra hour at checkout.

What locals say
Locals have left over 1,100 reviews and rate it very highly for the price. Guests praise clean rooms, soft bedding and unusually friendly staff, down to the valet. The rooftop pool is the draw: free for guests, heated, with towels and a sauna to warm up in after, and quiet early or late in the day. Several call it the best value in Haeundae. Mornings at the pool are busy with families.
