8/10 Very good

This property is right across the street from the beach and the drone show is accessible to be viewed from your room as long as you book the oceanview room. there might be a window in the room that might slightly block your way. However since you are right across the street and there is a top floor where you can access to see it, it will help out. We watched it twice: once on the beach and later in the room and it was more fun to watch it on the beach. There are plentiful options for food and entertainment. The hotel is relatively clean but as it is an older hotel there are some parts where it may seem aged or stained on furniture like the chairs in the rooms.

Beautiful stay

It was directly opposite the beach and bridge. Nearby a lot restaurants. The room walls need a make over. Nearby cherry blossom road. Easy to take a cab to move around.

6/10 Good

Staff was available & helpful. Fantastic oceanfront view from the rooms. And the sky walk roof observatory is a plus. Great location on the center of Gwangali beachfront. A bit noisy from street activity. Hotel facility is pretty tired; holes in walls, some patched some not. And if patched not painted over. Scrapes & scuffs on walls & elevator & the ceiling was leaking in the lobby. Those things brought the experience down a bit. Rooms were clean & basic necessities provided: water, tea/coffee, slippers, hairdryer, etc. just needs some TLC.

A room with a view

Great room nice big size with a great view of the beach and bridge. Room was very clean as the maid service came to our room daily to fix the bed and give us clean towels even though we did not request it.

Large room with a good view of Gwangalli Bridge. Across the street from the beach. Comfortable bed and blankets. A bit of a walk to subway. Did not try pool facilities as it was extra and you need a rashguard.

All good except the bathroom smell (really bad)

Location was amazing and the room was clean. I only have one complaint, which is the chronic sewage smell in the bathroom. I’m not sure whether is was just our bathroom but the smell was absolutely horrible.

good view

The beach view is great. It was difficult to sleep because of the woman's sex groan in the next room and listening to it with my child was not good for my child's education. 해변뷰 좋습니다. 방음이 안되서 옆방 섹스 교성으로 잠자기 힘들었고 아이랑 같이 듣게 되니 자녀 교육상 좋지 않겠더라구요.

Amazing place, language difficulties.

This hotel was super nice and I would definitely come back here. Points to mention: - Sauna/Jjimjilbang: You get 30% off the prices while staying here, but you do have to pay to enter. So, just a heads up if you expected it to be included. - Hotel staff: The day we checked in was fine and there was a good English speaker, but the rest of the stay was iffy. Most of them had very limited english skills as well as the staff that manned to spa side of the desk. So, expect to be treated bluntly 😅. Have Google translate ready and I wish you the best. Overall, super nice hotel and I would definitely stay here again with the convenience and big spa right there even though we needed to pay each use. Worth it in the end with affordable room rates.

2/10 Poor

The location is great for the drone show on saturday. The view of the beach is amazing. That is where the good ends. The beds was a box spring!! When we asked to change rooms to a real bed since we both have back issues they said all the beds were the same. We were looking in the open rooms and saw they were not the same. Then they said come back at noon (and waste our entire morning). So we came back at noon and they were still trying to give us a room with a box spring. Finally we took pictures of the two types of beds and they said upgrades will cost us. We get nervous bc they fought us so hard on changing but it was only $14 usd for 2 nights!!!! Ugh. Why fight with us and not offer the upgrade first? The pools are not included and each pool is a separate charge per person/ per day ($22 more… way more expensive than a room upgrade). There is no onsite laundry. They did hook us up with one free day at the pool after we bought a one use pass for our trouble but the pool was full of slimy algae. So frustrating!
