The hotel does not offer air conditioning in the rooms. Our room was very hot and we couldn’t be comfortable at night. Also, it was humid and smelly.

There is some visible wear-and-tear to the building. There is no lobby - so no restrooms available outside your guest room (there appear to be two on the ground floor but we were told that this did not belong to the hotel??), and no waiting area to gather in if you’re traveling in a group. All front desk reception is handled on the 15th floor, but the elevators are slow (there are only two and they are at opposite sides of the building). The location is convenient - you are steps away from the beach, and across the street is a convenience store. Tip: dining options are better if you walk a bit farther out

Loved the location very accessible to restaurants, subway, buses and a convenient store attached to the hotel. Loved it was very close to the beach and the view of the Gwangan Bridge which lights up at night. The room was a little dated but clean. The staff were very helpful. I would recommend if you want to be in the heart of it all.

Great location, rooms were as advertised and clean, bathroom showing their age slightly but overall the hotel is pretty good. Dining at the hotel expensive but plenty of dining options nearby so no real issue (the few times we went to the rooftop the restaurant was very empty, could be so much more with those amazing views!), great opportunity….
