Benikea Hotel Haeundae

Location was great and the coffee place next door is really great (their black sesame latte is the best we’ve had). Beds were comfortable enough.

Staff was neutral at best, didn’t try the help us out of their way even when we had questions. I was awoken by the smell of trash at 6 in the morning, from outside the rooms. The blinds in the rooms are not opaque so light comes through the giant windows in the morning (which, to be fair, during the day are great). Cleaning service came one during our 4 nights stay.

Best location

The breakfast was not good.

The location is great, close to the beach and the busy streets of haeundae but removed enough to not be right in the center of the noise. There's multiple busstops within 5 minutes walk and the subway station is ~10 minutes away. The room was clean, modern and bigger than it seemed in the pictures, i expected a shoe box, we instead had plenty of room to unpack all of our suitcases etc.

This wasn't a negative for us but you should know that any advertised ocean view is a restricted view in between the buildings that stand on the opposite site of the road closer to the ocean. (It's still an ocean view though, so not false advertisement and we found the view to be very pretty) Breakfast is only available on weekends, but there's a brunch place in house with great food and a convenience store and bakery just around the corner.

Location

Unwelcoming, rude check-in rules. Rooms were not same as reflected in the site.
