Our take

We stayed here solo on a work trip. The lobby looks more like a gallery than a reception desk, with a coffee bar built in, and the room came with an ocean-view terrace that made a compact space feel much bigger. Book a terrace room and do not bother with one without it. The rooftop pool looks over Songjeong Beach and the bay and is quietest early in the morning.

Rooms are small, the bed is firm, and standard rooms have a shower only. The rooftop jacuzzi was lukewarm on a cool evening, and breakfast is a coupon for the lobby cafe, not a buffet. Songjeong goes quiet early, with no convenience store on the beach strip, so plan dinner before 9pm or take a taxi to Haeundae. Songjeong Station is about a 10 minute walk. It suits solo travelers, couples and surfers. With small children we would pick a Haeundae hotel.

Where is it?

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 275 reviews. The ocean view leads the praise, with sunrise from the room and the terrace mentioned often, followed by front desk staff that guests call remarkably kind, clean and roomy rooms, good bedding and the rooftop pool. The colorful lobby and rooms get called stylish, and upgrades happen on quiet weekdays. Some guests were surprised that toothbrushes and slippers are not free in the room, so bring your own.
