H Avenue Gwangalli Beach

Breakfast has such a wonderful view and the rooms were clean. Fantastic bathrooms on top of it. While still stiffer than the average American bed, it was the softest bed I slept on during my trip to Korea and the staff was kind to work through translation to find out what I could eat at breakfast (celiacs).

Perfect spot to stay in Busan - the breakfast was really tasty and the staff was friendly. Our room had a lovely view of the beach. 100/10 highly recommended

The hotel is located on Gwangalli beach literally metres away from the water and it overlooks the beautiful Gwangalli bridge that is lit up at night with changing colours that is simply breathtaking. I chose this area because I heard that it is quieter than the touristy Haeundae beach. I am so glad I did. The nearest metro station is Gwangan which is a 20-minute walk to the hotel. The hotel itself occupies 3 floors namely 8-10 in a large building housing 4 other hotels. I booked the partial Deluxe sea-view room which was still amazing. The hotel provides slippers, bathrobes, hairdry apart from the normal toiletries like body wash, shampoo and conditioner. As for the rest of the other toiletries, they are available to buy from reception for a very minimal fee. I think this is a very eco-friendly way to minimise unnecessary waste because not everyone will have forgotten to bring along a toothbrush or toothpaste. There are a lot of restaurants, convenience stores, cafes and arcades that line the long stretch along the beach. The area is safe for walking even late at night. The bed was very comfy and ample in size so getting a good night's sleep wasn't a problem. The bathroom was also a good size and was well designed. One of the shower brackets though was cracked and the shower head almost came off. I am marking them down on facilities for that. I think this should have been checked before the room was allocated to us. Breakfast was one of the highlights for me.
