Busan Hotels with Pools

Fantastic! All-around excellent, though the room's fixtures are a bit dated; the wooden floorboards are starting to crack. Also, while Trip.com listed it as Chinese-friendly, there was no one at the front desk who spoke Chinese, so I struggled with my broken English for a while. Aside from these two minor points, everything else was top-notch. The sea view is absolutely unbeatable, and the service was incredibly thoughtful, especially the staff in the breakfast restaurant.

Everything was great, except for the rather cold front desk staff. Location: Absolutely perfect! It's directly across from the Haeundae Tourist Information Center, just a short walk across the pedestrian crossing. The first floor has a convenience store and a bakery, and the second floor hosts three restaurants: the hotel's buffet (serving breakfast and lunch), a king crab restaurant (reservations easily made via Naver), and a sushi place. Step out of the hotel, turn right, and within ten meters, you'll find a McDonald's and Ilpum Hanwoo (which is absolutely delicious). The convenience for dining and accommodation is a solid 10/10 – I was extremely satisfied. Facilities: The front desk is on the third floor, where you'll also find luggage lockers. Each floor's hallway has an ice machine and a water dispenser. In the room, there are six large paper cups, four bottles of water, and six pour-over coffee packets, so you'll definitely have enough ice and coffee. The hotel also offers airport/city shuttle buses every hour, though I didn't use them. The rooftop infinity pool is on the smaller side, but the view makes up for it. Plus, they manage entry by time slots (for an extra fee), which keeps it clean and peaceful. My room had a partial ocean view facing the beach near the tourist center, not a full 180-degree view, but I was still very happy with it. Note ⚠️: Remember to bring your own toiletries.

This feels like a luxury hotel, but the substance is lacking… 1. **No in-room phone.** If I wanted to call the front desk, I had to use my own phone to find the number in the booklet and dial it. 2. **Low floors are… well.** The 'ocean view' was useless. Some building's water tank and a Holly's coffee shop blocked most of it. I had to crawl on the floor, taking 5,000 photos, to get just one decent shot. So, if you're on a low floor, you'll have to crawl to see the ocean! Okay, maybe this is my fault for not paying more for a higher floor. BUT, the room photos in the introduction made it seem like there was an unobstructed ocean view, which feels like a scam. There weren't many hotel reviews, so I couldn't have known. I feel cheated. 3. **The biggest problem is privacy.** The toilet faces a window, and the jacuzzi and shower are also in front of full-length windows. Since it's a low floor, you can make eye contact with people in the cafe across the street. My bathroom breaks, showers, and jacuzzi use could all be public! I don't know if the windows are meant to be covered, but it felt very awkward. I had to keep the blinds fully down to use the bathroom and jacuzzi, which defeats the purpose of an 'ocean view' and felt very stifling. They told me not to close the jacuzzi window because of humidity, but the shower is right there, and I almost froze showering! Seriously, you'd think they'd put more thought into the design, even beyond the ocean view… 4. **The room is so big, but there are no mirrors anywhere** you’d expect one! Only the bathroom mirror, which made doing makeup and getting dressed in the morning incredibly inconvenient. 5. **I used a barrier-free room, but as an able-bodied person, I didn't feel any consideration for disabled guests.** Even I, a seasoned traveler in my 20s, had trouble distinguishing between the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I almost ran out of hot water in the shower trying to figure it out. The labels are tiny and on the back somewhere, so you have to really search. Couldn't they use dedicated bottles or at least proper labeling? 6. **There's no room service or similar services, but other services are expensive.** Maybe I just couldn't find it, but usually, hotel F&B services are in the in-room booklet, aren't they? There was nothing. Okay, maybe because it's a lower-star hotel, it wouldn't have it. BUT, late check-out extension costs 33,000 won (which isn't cheaper than other luxury hotels). So, the standard doesn't reach luxury hotel levels, but the service fees feel comparable to one. Breakfast also felt similar, so I didn't use it. Considering all of this, if you're just looking for a cost-effective place, it's okay.

After all, it's a branded hotel. The Lotte Hotel lobby is grand and upscale, and the rooms are spacious, comfortable, bright, and clean. The location is excellent, with a subway station nearby for easy travel, and it's not far from Busan KTX Station or the airport. There's a convenience store across the street for easy access to food. Plenty of restaurants are right next door, making dining very convenient. The Lotte Duty-Free Shop is also right there, perfect for shopping. The only downside was that I couldn't find a TV channel to watch the World Cup.

We were very happy with our stay at Matie Osiria. We arrived at around 9 am in the hotel and they let us check in early even if the check in time was still at 4pm. It was such a treat for us because we were able to go to a lot of tourist spots in Busan without any hassle. Although we cannot speak Korean, the receptionist were able to understand and speak English and we were able to understand their instructions. The hotel has a great view of the sea and the bay, it was so refreshing. The room was also clean and beautiful. The double beds and the pillow are soft and the bed linens was of great quality and clean. Their bathroom was clean too. The room was big too and we do not feel cramped. It was just a walking distance to the Haedong Yonggungsa temple, and the Lotte Malls and Lotte World Adventure, Skyline Luge and other malls. There are also great restaurants within walking distance that serves great affordable food. It is also near the Osiria coastal walk where you can see fisherfolks drying sea weeds and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. They have toiletries like shampoo, soap, tooth paste etc. I wrote it because most of the hotels in South Korea do not provide single use toiletries anymore. The location was good for us too because there are not lots of tourists around unlike in some areas of Busan which is teeming with people. It was really a relaxing place. I will surely book here again in the future and i will recommend Matie Osiria to our friends.

I was satisfied with cleanliness until the last day when I noticed that my sheets had what seemed like dried blood on them. Location is amazing but that’s also why it’s a popular choice for tourists. Getting an elevator from 8-10am and 6-8ish was rough. But loved the location! Service is average, nothing to complain about but nothing exceptional either which is not a bad thing at all. Pleased with the hotel amenities fitness centre but the room amenities seemed like it was setup with just the bare minimum. Would have been nice to have a larger mirror outside the bathroom or even have a light for the small mirror inside the cabinet. Fridge was very small - could not fit takeout containers without turning them sideways. Shampoo, conditioner and body products all seemed pretty cheaply made. Shampoo didn’t even foam up and conditioner felt no different than hand soap. We’re at a different hotel now and after using their products for one night my hair actually seems healthier than when I was back home.

Baymond is situated in a perfect location. We were in a walking distance to many restaurants, the beach and convenience stores. The rooms are on the smaller side. Interior could be upgraded as it is a bit old. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a lovely rooftop pool and sauna on site. Pool and jacuzzi are overlooking the beach and the busy streets of Haeundae. Places to check out nearby: Busan x the sky, olive young, hot pot spots, Indian restaurants, baskin robins for some ice cream If you’re looking for a convenient, affordable hotel Baymond is a good choice.

This hotel boasts an incredibly convenient and prime location. It's super close to the subway station, roughly 200 meters away, and just across the street is the beach! Our room even had a sea view, and the room itself was very spacious and comfortable. Downstairs, it's bustling with lots of restaurants, convenience stores, and even a market street. It's a truly perfect place to stay, and I'll definitely be back here on my next trip to Busan.

Because of our flight arrive in the morning around 8am and directly to the hotel, hotel did provide luggage store for free, besides we also able to early check in around 1pm instead of 3pm. thank u for your service

The view was good and the boss was friendly. The room is spacious and warm.
