Gwanganri Hotel Primavera in BUSAN

- view on the beach was as promised in the pictures- comfortable bed- position is good for Gwangalli, bad for the other parts of Busan

- no laundry service- very, very poor breakfast- personnel at the reception don’t speak English at all- they don’t tell you it is necessary to advise in advance to have the room cleaned. When you do it, the cleaning service is at 5 pm (worst moment of the day)- single-size mini towels, no big towels for the shower- it was not possible to select from where get the water in the shower - wi-fi was not working

A lovely little hotel. The room was smallish but roomy enough for two. The view was absolutely breathtaking ? all the way up the beach and the beach-front establishments.The room included a clothes steamer which was a novelty and we used this a lot during our stay. There was no coffe/tea making facilities, but we were aware of this when booking.

Finding the hotel was the most difficult part of our stay. The hotel is only 4 floors of a 14 storey building and all external signage was in Korean. Even my Korean partner was unable to help until we went to a side door of the building where the hotel was advertised on the building sign board, floors 11 to 14 (no 13th floor) and only in Korean. Actually there was hotel signage in English at the very top of the front of the building. This was almost impossible to see at street level.Some of the rooms extremities needed more attention with loose trimmings. Ther were cracked tiles and a bit of mould in the shower.

The view was amazing though, 8/10. It's very close to the beach and many gems are near by with in walking distance.

The room was a bit disappointing, 3/10. They didn't have full body towels. For the price of the room I was expecting it to be more modern. Not accurate to the pictures.

The check-in and check-out staff were awesome. We missed the simple American style breakfast, but the staff gave us some noodles in a cup and boiled eggs. You can see the nearby bridge, the doves flying in the sky from the windows, and across the street was Gwangalli beach. There was a parking in the basement for the entire building where the hotel is located.

First, the hotel location was not clear in the booking. The GPS says we arrived but we only saw a building in front of us. It was very tricky if you don’t read Korean or do not asked. We didn’t realize that the hotel was part of a big building with other hotels and businesses. They only have the 11th and 12th floors for guests. Second, you want to make sure that they validate your license plate for the full day stay. You cannot get out of the basement parking if you don’t pay. We were surprised that the garage charged W68,000 and the hotel validated only W38,000 which means you still have to pay W30,000. So, we called the front desk to fix it, so we can get out of the parking garage. There were many restaurants, mostly served seafood like fish, eels, etc, and cafes but prepare to pay a lot. Menu prices were not reasonable because it’s kind of catered to tourists.

“This was my first visit to Busan, and I really wanted a sea-view room—Primavera Hotel delivered perfectly! The location was ideal, and the sunset view from my room was absolutely breathtaking. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, assisting me with calling taxis and recommending places to visit. There’s even a staff member who speaks English, but if not, translation apps work just fine!Another great point was the free early breakfast, free parking, WiFi, and Netflix, which I enjoyed with my friends. The bed was super comfortable, and overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable stay. Highly recommended!”

Parking Experience:The underground parking lot spans 1–2 floors of the building and is spacious, making parking convenient and hassle-free. ( * If you find it difficult to locate the building, it is on the 11th floor of Ocean Bridge Building A. Please note that there are two entrance doors.)Front Desk and Staff Friendliness:This was my second visit, and the staff recognized me and upgraded my room. Among all the hotels I’ve stayed at, I believe the staff here are exceptionally friendly.[*The staff speaks English and is very helpful with navigation, providing guidance to famous restaurants and must-visit spots in the area. Their support made exploring the city much easier and more enjoyable!}Room Interior:The room was incredibly clean. The furniture layout was thoughtfully arranged to suit the space. The soft spotlight lighting created a luxurious and calming atmosphere, providing a sense of healing. The modern wall design and cleanliness of the bedding and bathroom were all very satisfying.Room Facilities:The comfort of the mattress was on another level compared to budget hotels. The mattress provided just the right amount of firmness, offering a sense of stability and comfort. Many hotels have mattresses and bedding that feel below par, but the bedding quality here was equivalent to premium hotel standards.The ocean view, in particular, was breathtaking and truly the best. It felt like my heart was bursting with joy. The breakfast, provided free of charge, was also satisfying by my standards.Memorable Points:The hotel staff made every effort to provide the best possible service to each guest. The room was exceptionally clean, and I was more than satisfied with my stay.Thank you for creating such wonderful memories during my trip to Busan. I will definitely return. Thank you again.*주차장의 느낌 :건물 지하 1~2층 주차장이 크게있어 주차 문제없이 편하게 주차 하였습니다.*프론트 및 직원의 친절도 :두번째 방문인데 얼굴을 알아봐주시고 객실 업그레이드 해주시고 친철도에서는 어느 호텔보다 친철하다고 생각합니다.*객실 내부 :굉장히 깔끔합니다.

No, I'm satisfied

Great location.

Other than the location on the beach there wasn’t much else that was good about the hotel. Everything felt old and a bit tacky. Even the bed sheets felt old. Breakfast was a very short and early duration so skipped it daily. Very noisy throughout the night and early morning construction (which is out of the hotels control though).

Good location.Staff were amazing. Friendly and accommodating Room was clean and comfortable. Great bathroom

Good location, room was big and comfortable.

Don't expect big hotel towels. They are super small.

The view was awesome and very comfortable room!

The door in toilet. Toilet doesn’t have a wall. But it’s not a big problem!

The view was excellent, and the room overall was very comfortable. Having the beach so close was an absolute must for me, and I was able to be there early before some crowds started coming in. Fellow guests were quiet and peaceful

I don't think it is worth it to buy the breakfast. Unfortunately. It also seemed like my room was cleaned in a rush and I found a Pepsi bottle, used cotton swab and some sticky areas of the room. And I wasn't the biggest fan of the mold building in the shower but eh~

Loved the location because the beach was within walking distance. There was also a convenience store just beneath the hotel which was very convenient.

The window in the room was absolutely too tiny to look outside of and the reception was a little hard to find.

I really liked it, the bed was very comfortable and the room was clean, they clean it the next day upon request and handed me fresh water bottles, whenever I asked. The whole reception team was very friendly and sweet. The AC was also very quiet and hi-tech, and the toilet seat is heated!

The location is perfect, right at Gwangalli Beach, the only slight hassle is that the next bus stop is at least 10min walking distance and the closest subway station about 20min.

I got a beach room view, which was wonderful. Super close to Gwangalli Beach and all of the stores, restaraunts, and bars close by. The rooms are stocked with toiletries and had a nice design. A simple breakfast— appreciated the inclusion of some cup ramen!

It was a little hard to find— you have to go into a back alley and the sign for the hotel is in hangul (unlike the logo on Booking.com).

Location and staff were polite and friendly

Rooms smelt terrible. Mould in the shower and the smell coming from the shower, sink and bath plug holes was awful. Bath towels were only slightly bigger than a hand towel. Shower head didn’t work so a hand held one had been installed but too low to stand underneath. Now bath floor mat. Window blind was stuck half way up. Plug by bed was just a hole in the wall with no plate around the plug. Difficult to find the entrance to the hotel as it’s up a side street and the name is written only in Korean while the other hotels in the building have their name in English as well. Breakfast is pot noodle, toast, jam and a boiled egg. The smell in the rooms was so bad we didn’t want to return to the hotel in the evening. The supposed lounge was just a couple of sofas next to the check in desk so that wasn’t an option.

The Hotel Primavera is in an excellent location at Gwangalli beach in Busan. The building has a fantastic view along the beach from the northern end and is an easy walking distance to heaps of great restaurants and nightlife.

It was a little confusing as a western person as the hotel takes up 3 floors of a larger building. The sign isn’t written in English so it was a little hard to work out where reception was located. Check in also isn’t available until 5pm which isn’t always fun if you’re tired.

Great staff, they were kind, professional and had amazing customer service. Also they were able to speak English.

Good room service, cleaning.

No fresh air, smell bad.

I requested a beach view, and they granted me to get it. Very nice view!The hotel is located in very nice and lively area, near to shops, restaurants with beautiful view of famous Gwangalli Bridge

Location is great and strategic.Nice view of the beautiful beach.Room price is affordable.Room comfort equipped with sophisticated cloth cleaning shelf.

The breakfast is moderate, only egg, bread, noodle cup.But the staff is very friendly n helpful.

There is no proper towel for taking bath.
