Top Busan Hotel Reviews

NewCZ Haeundae Residence

NewCZ Haeundae Residence

8/10 Good
"The Pros: This place was very clean and had a fabulous view to the ocean (we had a suite with two rooms). I wish the layout of the room was a little different to maximize relaxing and taking in the view (the front area is dedicated to a hot tub we did not use). They have a front desk and have convenient luggage storage if you arrive before check in. The location was in walking distance to the main strip and very close to the beach, so that was good. The Downsides: They do not clean the room daily (you choose the day(s) depending on total night stay). When they did come the day we asked for, it happened very late in the afternoon (unexpected since most hotels clean earlier) and we were already back from lunch (around 2pm) and were taking a rest so we told them to leave (and ultimately never got any cleaning service - but they did leave fresh towels). The other downside is that we were not aware that they have permanently closed the pool. The first picture for this hotel is of the pool, so that was actually a really big bummer for my kids. I think they officially closed it a couple months back. Lastly, it wasn't terrible by any means, but the beds are really small. I'd say they are US sized double beds. My two teenage sons refused to share, so one ended up sleeping on the couch. Overall, given the unnotified closure of the pool and missed cleaning, I'd still give it a solid 4 stars for the beautiful view that we got."
