Great location, a few steps from the beach and so many restaurants and things to do. Its part of a bigger building with other hotels (eg, H Avenue). They serve free breakfast in the am, but if you love your coffee, I suggest getting that elsewhere. Comfortable room, lovely view!

Clean, simple, great area - perfect for any trip to Busan. The views are amazing and you definitely get what you expect when you choose an ocean view room! Staff was friendly and helpful. Hotel is in a building with others so look for the signs and know it is a shared elevator (for clarity). We had a great stay!

We had an excellent stay here and enjoyed the very modern room that had fresh decor. Bed was cozy and bathroom with bidet and walk in/closed-in shower was lovely too. Staff was very sweet and helpful and the included breakfast was a good start to the day! Thank you!

The view was great, overlooking the beach area. And literally at the start of the beach strip. Convenience store and games located directly beneath the hotel.

Perfect place that’s not on the main second of the beach. Perfect spot to see the drone show and the fresh fish market. The morning breakfast isn’t a reason to book this place.

Pusan Fireworks Festival Stay

Marine View occupies two floors of a 15 story building with various other hotels on the other floors. Clean, looks recently renovated, a bit small but adequate. A bit pricey but primarily due to location immediately adjacent to beach and festival taking place during our stay. Friendly professional staff and great access to Heaundae Beach.

10/10 Exceptional

Exactly as Described

This hotel is only one of several in the two-sided high rise that sits right across the street from Gwangalli beach. Location address is a bit vague, and the entrance to building is not clearly marked (alleyway on the right). Luckily, a very nice British /Korean couple helped us find it). The staff was very attentive despite knowing limited English. The room was exactly as described during booking. Very clean and comfortable although somewhat small. The hotel offers a daily limited continental breakfast (3 types of bread with butter/jam, egg salad, or cheese toppings; juice; fruit; yogurt; instant ramyeon, coffee and tea). They also have free access to a washer/dryer for guests to launder their clothes (Soap and Softner provided). We had a beach view room, and it was absolutely stunning. Room was quiet, but not completely soundproof (heard the neighbors alarm although mostly muted). Great location for food and just walking about. Easy access to transportation sources for sightseeing. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.

6/10 Good

Just okay…

Things that saved this hotel from a lower rating: friendly staff at the front desk, good location and easy to walk right over to the beach and to nearby restaurants. Otherwise, the hotel is a bit difficult and a bit of a letdown. Parking is a nightmare, underground is always full because they allow the public to use it rather than just hotel guests, they block off many of the regular spots to save them for “larger cars”, and the men that direct the parking down there are so incredibly rude. Also no good parking in the immediate area. If you are traveling with a car, I would reconsider staying here. Something that was not clear when booking (we booked on hotels.com) is that this hotel is not its own building, it is only 2 floors (11th and 12th floors) in a large building made up of about 5 different hotels. There are 2 elevators that are shared for the whole building, for all the hotel guests and those parked in the garage, expect to wait a long time, to ride in a full elevator, and to stop at multiple floors along the way. If we would forget something in the room we would just go without because it wasn’t worth going back up to the room. Air conditioning worked very well. Shower did not drain well, and we didn’t really understand the concept of having a window (with traditional string blinds) in the shower between the bathroom and the rest of the room. Bed was hard as a rock, pillows too, and bedding was a bit scratchy. Partial ocean view has an extreme emphasis on partial.

This hotel is small, but high in quality! The rooms are beautiful and well-equipped. The hotel was kind and let me check in early upon arrival, even though it was only noon. I recommend this hotel to people wanting to stay somewhere nice and central with a good view of the ocean.
