Baymond Hotel

Our stay at this hotel in Busan was overall very positive, though it started with a strange and rather frustrating check-in experience. We arrived at 14:10 (check-in is at 15:00) and were told our room was already ready — but if we wanted to check in earlier, we’d have to pay extra, as they apparently charge by the hour. Honestly, it felt absurd. I would understand if we arrived several hours early, but in this case, we were told directly that the room was ready — yet still had to pay if we wanted to access it 50 minutes earlier. I told the staff this was disappointing and said we’d rather wait and spend the money on lunch instead. So we came back at 15:00 and checked in for free. To our surprise, we were given a free room upgrade — a spacious room with a beautiful sea view, which we really appreciated. The room had a large bathroom, a comfortable bed, and was reasonably clean (although it’s clear that the rooms and the hotel overall are showing signs of age and could use some renovation in places — nothing major though). The biggest highlight of this hotel is definitely the rooftop pool. It's large, very clean, with stunning views, a jacuzzi, a sauna, and the option to order drinks and snacks — all of which made up for the minor shortcomings. The location is also perfect — just a one-minute walk to the beach promenade.

Our room was excellent, with a large comfortable bed, luxurious bathroom with two washbasins, and even a small ocean view. Haeundae Beach was a block away, as were at least four convenience stores.

*Nice swimming pool *Very clean, *Nice rooms considering official rating is 3 stars only *Very comfortable beds *Good location (although all taxi drivers had problems finding at first), *very close to the beach, *Walking distance to the restaurants * would recommend and come back again

very big and comfortable room, and big and comfortable bathroom too. nice design of the bathroom in the room using glass. great pool on the roof. and it is quiet in the room despite the road along the beach. the hotel is close to beach and restaurants. and very good room rates indeed.
