The Van Hotel Ulsan

The view was great, the room was clean, and the bed was one of the most comfortable I've ever slept in. It might feel hard to some people, but it was just right for me. I'll make this my first pick when I visit from now on.

Getting here by public transportation isn't very convenient, but the rooms are clean and the view is great. The open-air wooden bathtub was a bit moldy and didn't drain well. It was quiet, maybe because nobody was in the next room, so I think the soundproofing is good. Most nearby delivery services bring food right to your room, so ordering is easy.

The location and rooms are decent, but the service was another matter. At check-in they said parking in the lot would cost 10,000 won per day, so I left my car outside. I travel around the country for work, and this is the first place I've come across that charges for parking.

You can see the Gangdong coastline all at once. The veranda is spacious, though the windows have been removed, which has its upsides and downsides. Ventilation is poor, and there's a bathroom smell.
