Location: Perfect - right in front of the beach! but this does mean you get to hear all the cars/motorbike revving pdaysast at night. Room: It was opulent! Loved the bathroom, I thought it was smart use of space! View: I did not book the sea view but I could sort of see the beach! and boy was it beautiful! The Vibe of the area is FANTASTIC! whilst it can be a bit noisy at night as it seems to attract noisy cars it is just a buzz and this is coming from an introvert!
Cleanliess - this is a tough one because the cleaning staff are wonderful! They tidied the room daily and everything was immaculate BUT... the bed frame liner had...some stains which appeared to be bodily fluids of the male kind. Staff - Overall were nice - but communication was slightly difficult and I had to use translator to communicate some points. But I understand that my Korean wasn't great either so it goes both ways. But overall they assisted when asked. The lady who assisted on the third day was so very kind and tried her best so I respect that (even if communication was difficult)

The location was fantastic: Right on the beach near coffee shops and restaurants, and a 10-minute walk to the subway station. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. They lent us an umbrella and the gave us a map to find the closest laundromat, several blocks from the hotel. The room was very clean everyday. We went up to the roof and the bar on the 15th floor, both of which had amazing views. Having a convenience store just outside the door was great!
While we loved this hotel, the bed was firmer than we’re used to. We would have liked laundry facilities in the building or close by. But these are small issues and we would come back to the Kent hotel.

Great location right across the street from the beach and close to many restaurants and bars. Spacious, clean, well-lit room and bathroom (which had a window), beautiful view of beach and sea, good a/c and shower, large vanity, comfortable bed. Nespresso machine in room. Top floor dining room is a beautiful place for their buffet overlooking the beachfront and ocean.
We were awoken one morning around 7 a.m. with a hotel siren and loud female voice over the room’s p.a. system, giving what seemed to be agitated instructions in Korean, no English version. We imagined the worst and called the front desk but were simply told “no problem”.

The properties location can’t be beat. Steps away form the beach and a convenient store just outside made it a perfect hotel. The lobby and the “rooftop” has great views of the beachfront/bridge. Easily walkable to plenty of restaurants and bars.
The property is a bit on the older side. Noticed carpet stains and wall paper coming off. The bathroom I had didn’t have proper drainage for the shower and our toilet kept flushing on its own. My group ordered in and our rooms didn’t have tables. The lobby had plenty of space yet when asked if we could eat, we were denied. What’s the point of having tables and chairs if guests can’t use it to eat/drink/relax?

Our room has a fantastic view of the seashore with the lighted bridge in the horizon. It was well appointed, roomy and clean. Cupboards were spacious and the bathroom was well designed to make best use of space. The hotel is at the corner of a major intersection yet it was not noisy at all.It did mean however, that we were able to walk everywhere either along the beach front or to restaurants and shops.Moreover taxis or Uber are not expensive in Busan. Definitely recommend this hotel

It is a beautiful hotel, with beautiful and clean facilities. The staff is the nicest and the room was so nice. It is located right across the street from Gwangalli beach which makes it so convenient and has a beautiful sight. It is located in a populated avenue which makes it convenient to get whatever you need nearby and makes you feel very safe.
Everything was perfect.

- First and foremost, THE VIEW over Gwangalli Beach and of the Gwangan bridge at nighttime! It’s pretty unbeatable from the rooftop, so make sure to go to the very top (taking the stairs up from the last floor” for sweeping views of the city and the ocean. - Breakfast selection provided was very good with pancakes, french toast, muesli, yoghurt and then a variety of warm dishes both Korean and Western. - STAY HERE, along the beach and in this area, if you’re in Busan. These views and vibes of the local surroundings are way better than anything in the city centre…it may mean you have to travel for a bit longer but it’s totally worth it. We’re so thankful we opted to mix it up on our Korean adventure to have some time by the water and with a fresh breeze :) - Location is fine for seeing all the top sights with the Blueline Park Capsules and Trains, Igadae Coastal Walk, Gamcheon Culture Village and Haedong Yonggungsa BY TAKING TAXI’s! It saves so much effort and time using them to get around and it’s SURPRISINGLY VERY CHEAP for drives up to 25-30mins. Therefore, stay here as a #1 option. - Reception staff were always helpful booking taxis for us ASAP and within 5mins we were collected.
- The window in the room could only slightly be opened, clearly due to safety reasons, but this made taking any pictures or enjoying a panaroma view of the bridge (without glass) restricted. For us, it was rather stuffy in the room so we simply wanted to let the fresh air which we did and it was better.

It's the best decision to stay in this location and it was probably the best hotel in the area. Don't underestimate how big Busan is, if you come in summer, staying close to the beach in one of the areas (Gwangalli or Haeundae Beach) will the the best option. You'll be close to a lot of great food places, beach, shopping malls and metro/bus routes. Hotel is right at beach line, with the spacious rooms, great views, great service and easy to reach.

The localisation (you can see the bridge and the beach) is fantastic, the view from the premium room was fabulous.
The room was stupidly arranged: the bed could be approached only from one side, no bedside (reading) lamps ! There was no bedside table eeither, the central switch-off is only the one side of the double bed. If you switched of the main switch - no current in the plugs. So you can not charge neither your mobile phones, nor your camera.
