B'amu Hotel

Good view, clean facilities

B’AMU was my favorite accommodation in Busan and Korea in general! Location: Excellent location in Gwangali, Busan. It was right across Gwangali beach next to the line of buildings with walkable cafes, restaurants, and entertainment. Property: The property was clean and we noted that they did offer a parking area. We did not have a car but from the main entrance, it was a little inconvenient to get to the lobby because you had to carry your bags up 1 flight of stairs to reach the elevator to go to the main lobby. Lobby: The lobby was small. The staff were English speaking and friendly. They sat us down to speak about the amenities you can choose from (i.e. different hair dryers). They were able to store our luggage before check in. We appreciated that they delivered our luggages directly to our room when we came back and they even escorted us into the room. Food: They provided breakfast and gave us 2 options, which were not basic. I opted for the abalone porridge. Room: We stayed in the premium ocean king. The room was beautiful and large. It had 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, and a living area with a large spa/ tub all overlooking the beautiful city and ocean skyline. It had a large fridge and they provided water. It had a lot of empty cabinets and we wished it had a microwave/ a stove. The beds were soft and comfortable. Bathroom: Clean and with many amenities. I appreciated that the toilet room was separate from the shower room but I wish the toilet room had a sink.

This is a great hotel for couples, but not recommended for families. We stayed with two children and had a disappointing experience. If you are traveling as a couple, consider the following points before booking: 1. Vibe/Reputation: Uber drivers frequently referred to the property as a "motel," reflecting its focus on couples rather than families. 2. Housekeeping: While courteous, the staff was unhelpful. When we requested four towels instead of two for our family, they said Ok but never provided 3. Breakfast: The complimentary breakfast consists of a sweet egg, ham, and cheese sandwich topped with very sweet whipped cream, which we found unappealing. 4. Cleanliness: The room was not properly cleaned and constantly had sand on the floor. 5. Misleading Room Description: The room was advertised as having great beach views, but it had no view at all.

This location was amazing and enjoy the view

Spacious rooms with modern furniture. With separate living and sleeping rooms, the place has the feel of a one bedroom apartment without a kitchen. Location, being right next to the famous Gwangalli Beach was very convenient for eating out or walking. Rooms were clean, staff very helpful. Small luxuries, like Dyson hair dryers were available on request. Didn't try their breakfast because we had to leave early.
