Busan's "tallest" hotel | Luxury or disappointment? 💸🤔 | Signiel Busan

If you are planning to visit Busan and want a high-end hotel with a "super sea view", then Signiel Busan may be on your list. This hotel is located in the most conspicuous skyscraper in Haeundae, "LCT Landmark Tower", and is known to have the best sea view in Busan. But what is the actual stay experience like? Let’s take a look! 👇 Accommodation experience: luxury hotel or luxury apartment? 🧐 Once you enter the hotel lobby, you may start to doubt your life. Although the lobby design is clean and simple, it feels more like the entrance of an ordinary residential building rather than a luxury hotel with an average daily fee of HKD4,500. When the elevator reaches the guest room floor, a strong smell of disinfectant hits you in the face. The decoration of the corridors and rooms also tends to be "ordinary housing estate style" and is not particularly high-end. Room condition: both advantages and disadvantages🛏️🌄 Advantages: - Balcony view: Excellent sea and night view, half sea view and half city view🌅 - High-quality amenities: Full set of Diptyque toiletries - Welcome Tea: Hot tea with orange slices and dried ginger Disadvantages: - Balcony design: No chairs or tables, can't sit on the balcony to enjoy the beautiful view🥲 - The bed is not big enough: Only Queen Size, may not be comfortable enough for guests who are used to big beds. - Toilet design: Reminiscent of a public swimming pool shower room, and without an exhaust system, odors easily linger😬 Facilities and facilities: highlights and shortcomings🏊♀️💼 Highlights: - Good location: Haeundae Beach is downstairs, and you can walk to the surrounding restaurants and shopping areas, which is convenient and has a good view. 🏖️🎡 - Swimming pool and gym: - There are indoor and outdoor swimming pools and heated pools on the 6th floor, so you can enjoy the fun of soaking in the water without leaving home. 🌊 Disadvantages: - Limited supporting services: - Mini Bar is not free, only Happy Hour provides free drinks and snacks every day. 🍷🍪 - Lacks the extra amenities or services of other high-end hotels. - The nearby shopping mall is a bit simple: - You need to go through a shopping mall (with lots of shops) to get to the beach. The traffic flow design is not user-friendly and it is easy to get lost. 🏬🤷♀️ Service: Needs to be improved🙋♀️ - Fewer services: Compared with hotels of the same price, the service level of Signiel Busan is average - Friendly attitude but limited service: Although the staff has a good attitude, they lack the professionalism and meticulousness of a five-star hotel. Price reference: HKD4,500/night (August 2024) Overall evaluation: Is it worth staying? 💭 Advantages: - 🌅 Beautiful sea view: The balcony view makes people feel happy, and the unparalleled sea view and night view are unobstructed. - 🏖️ Location bonus: Haeundae Beach is just downstairs, and surrounding restaurants and shopping areas are within easy reach. Disadvantages: - 💸 Average value for money: At HKD4,500 per night, the service and facilities are not worth the price. - 🚽Poor bathroom experience: no exhaust system, simple design, inconsistent with the image of a "high-end hotel". - 🏬Poor traffic flow design: The public area feels like an ordinary housing estate and lacks the atmosphere of a five-star hotel. Summary: Who is it for? - If you come for the "view and location", Signiel Busan is a good choice, with amazing sea and night views and a convenient location. 🌊✨ - If you are looking for a "full luxury hotel experience" or have high service requirements, you may be disappointed here😶🌫️ #Register for January Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 #Busan #Busan Travel #Busan Hotel #Korea #Korea Travel #Korea Hotel
