This hotel has a hot spring bath, thus you can enjoy it with extra charge. If you book a sea-side room, you can overlook Gwangri Beach and furthermore you can take pictures of a beautiful sunrise in the room. There are lots of cafes, restaurants, and bars around there.

We had booked this hotel based on the 4 star rating it had for a business meeting and we managed to stay only for 3h and then ran away from it, even if it was all prepaid. It was dirty, with hair on the floor and on the devices, stains on the carpet. All furniture extremely old, dirty walls, cracks everywhere. I dont know when they got the rating but it looks like it has been completely abandoned - I had to pay three times more to find another hotel for right here right now, but I gladly did it, i wouldnt stay there even for one night.

Terrible experience. I visit Busan Ofer for business and I thought I try out this hotel because is right on the beach among really nice cafes and restaurants. However, I could never expect this fancy building would lack the necessities on the inside. Room was very dirty, after complaining they cleaned a bit but to substandard for Korea. The air-con was broken and could not shut down, I was freezing all night and the worse: no hot water in the shower. A bit warm at best. Never again aqua palace

Good- Fantastic location. Free valet. Friendly staff, especially the valet staff. Bad- All the perks of this hotel (pools, indoor water park, etc.) are under construction. AC didn’t immediately work. Ugly- Our family was ate up by mosquitos. It was the equivalent of camping outside.

The location is good; the Gwangali beach is a popular destination and one can find cafes, restaurants, etc, practically open all day long and satisfying most tastes. The hotel is rather dated however fully 'operational'. The wifi connection is sufficient. The staff is also friendly. English is an issue though...

We were in Busan for an ultimate frisbee tourney. The hotel is moderately priced and is principally located near the "party" area!! They offer a modest breakfast... it you have to request the breakfast coupons. They'll give them to ton with no hassles whatsoever. My only gripe about this place was that our air conditioner DID NOT WORK at all...so, seeing that the room was humid and poorly ventilated, i had a terrible night's sleep.

I stayed at the jimjilbang rather than the hotel because I'm an avid jimjilbang explorer, so I'm unsure of the conditions of the hotel. I figured it would be extremely nice because of the name and the large building but I was kind of disappointed. The showers and locker rooms were quite dirty. The jimjilbang was however pretty cool as there is a water park in the center area of the building with sleeping areas surrounding it 360 degrees around so you can see people across the way from wherever you are. I had an okay stay but I probably won't go back there.

Firstly and foremost, don't use the pool. When you eventually solve the maze and find the pool it is horrible. The pictures on the website are of a past era. The pool area is corroding, the water dirty and it is in a serious state of disrepair. You also have to pay to use it thankfully we got our money back without issue. Whilst the pool was empty the spa/baths on the other hand were really busy, so I assume they must have been in a better state. The hotel itself was OK you are essentially paying for location, which was the big plus for the hotel. We had a great night at the nearby bars, which were within a short walk to the hotel. The view from the room was also really nice, the sky bar was worth visiting for the view. The rooms are large, but a little tired. We felt the price was quite steep for the quality.

All my properties including cash, passport, phone, and clothes were stolen from the locker at the Hotel Aqua Place sauna. The locks were electronic with no signs of force entry so it is certain to be an inside job. Despite having multiple CCTVs on premise, management were reluctunt to look at the footages and claimed they couldn't find out who did it. The police had to drove me to the station (since all my clothes were stolen) to file a report and have my passport replaced, basically cancelling the rest of my trip. Very disappointing experience. Avoid at all cost.
