Very clean hotel. Very helpful staff. There are many restaurants close to the hotel. Convenient store just in front and beside the hotel. Very well located, just in front of the tourist train station. Nice view to the beach from the balcony.

The Coolest Hotel… it may have been the coolest in the past but seems to be past its prime. We stayed in one of the king suites which had an excellent view, nice bathrooms and very clean, however the air conditioning stopped working on day 3 of 5 and there was this lingering sewage smell for a few days. We stayed in October so it was not too hot, we simply opened the balcony doors and windows to get some airflow and it was cool enough at night. The sewage smell seemed to be coming from the extremely large sink drain so we just ran hot water for a little while and it went away. The rooftop pool, extraordinary view, and massive fitness area in the basement are certainly the main selling point here, otherwise the “Coolest” hotel is not worth the price. The staff were all very nice, but in general the hotel seemed to be understaffed. Breakfast was OK not great and not worth the price compared to other options in the area. The dryer in the basement does not dry well. We checked out with wet clothes. Unless you need a gym and/ or rooftop pool, I’d look elsewhere. 3/5

The negative part is not where the hotel says it is located. So there’s a distance to Hyundai Beach. Probably 45 minutes. I didn’t like the fault advertisement. But you know I had a great day. The owner is a great guy. It’s a good hotel. And be honest with you. It’s really not that badly located. You’re right on the beach. Just at the beach it says it’s located at. Gary Hoch

Nice pool (but cold) and unique room decor. Friendly staff. On the downside: strong sewer smell in the bathroom, bar and restaurant were closed. No housekeeping if you're in the room during their rounds. The sofa bed for the 4th person was uncomfortable. Overpriced compared to other hotels with better standards.

Very close to songjeong beach on a cherry blossom lined street, The Coolest Hotel is nicely located. The hotel itself is very basic. Very limited amenities. We were given half a toilet paper roll, 2 towels for 4 people, no hand soap at the sink, and all the food areas were closed. Staff was friendly but sometimes hard to find. Pool was nice but no towels provided. Overall it was an okay experience for the price.

This actually is a very cool place. Big rooms with sea views and some of the best beds I have ever tried. Staff is great and the area around the hotel is my favourite part of Busan. Highly recommended.

Great location and friendly staff

The location of the hotel is great - next door to a fabulous cocktail bar - possibly the best I’ve been to called Railside bar and also next to the beach train station. There is a great boardwalk that runs the length of the beach train taking you to the livelier side of town. We found the staff very helpful unfortunately the way the lift works you tend to bypass the lobby area as you come and go, which is a shame as it’s a nice way to interact and appreciate the service of the staff.

Although the weather was cold when we were staying, the pool provided warm water which was really user friendly! Besides, the staffs were so friendly and helpful. We loved the pool, the service, and the facilities! Will stay again!

Putting Coolest in the title creates certain expectations. It's probably not as cool as when it first opened. Great room, great view, lovely rooftop pool.

2/10 Poor

Upon arrival to the hotel we were met with a nice gentleman at reception. He seemed to be the only staff in the whole hotel. We were early for check in therefore asked if we were able to have early check in and potentially use the pool while we wait for our room to become available. He advised that this was possible and he was giving this to us for free. We did however had to wait for 1 hour and come back to reception for the room key. In the meantime we were able to use the rooftop pool. When we returned to reception as advised, the man previously there had left and a new reception person was there. This person stated that our room would not be ready and therefore had to just wait until usual check in time. Once we were finally arrived into our room. The room initially appears tidy. However floor was still wet, sticky, sandy and smelt of damp. Bathroom was not cleaned, just tidied with used shampoo and soap packets left. There were no bathroom supplies such as shampoo/conditioner. We had to head to the nearest 7/11. We were left disappointed with the room and overall hotel experience. The room was not well maintained with hooks not properly fixed to the wall. Bathroom water flooding into the room, and no towel hooks inside the bathroom. There were also no other services as advertised. No hotel bar, No restaurant, No hot breakfast, No room service, No reception staff out of hours. The rooftop pool feels neglected with lack of maintenance. No food or drink allowed

The property was great for the train/sky capsule line, and were at a couple of great restaurants nearby. However, the reception was not always manned, we were asked to schedule our room service, and the breakfast was poor - a croissant with ham and cheese (no vegetarian option) and three tiny pieces of cut fruit.
