Busan Gwangalli 2 Heaven Hotel

For a room of only about 5 square meters, it felt really cramped. The bathroom was small too, with nowhere to hang clothes, and the sink was right beside the bed. The bathroom glass is so transparent that you'd need to be comfortable being seen. Apart from that, it was okay.

The sound carried so badly that I couldn't sleep. I heard ordinary conversations in the hallway, and the next room's TV kept echoing through. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and the beach is a five-minute walk away with shops nearby. Some noise is understandable in a tourist area, but I've never stayed anywhere with such poor soundproofing.

The room isn't spacious, but it's very close to Gwangalli Beach and Bbangcheon-dong, and the interior was quite clean. Parking means they move your vehicle into a tower, so getting it back takes a while. Let them know ahead of time if you're going to use it.

I booked in a hurry during vacation season and trusted the photos. That was a huge mistake. The outside looked decent, but once I got into the room I regretted it, and paying over 130,000 won felt like getting scammed. The bedding was yellow and smelled bad, and the room reeked of mold so badly I could barely breathe. It seemed like they don't clean the air conditioner, and the window screens were torn. The bathroom was rotten-looking and stank, the water pressure was weak, and the toilet barely flushed. It felt like nothing had been cleaned at all. The place might be called a hotel, but it was like a rundown old motel. The staff were unfriendly too. I was so disgusted and angry that I couldn't sleep and ended up writing this in the middle of the night. Seriously, read the reviews carefully and pay more to stay somewhere else, so a nice trip doesn't get ruined.
