Nothing to say about position - that is strategic - but: - the hotel lacks of decent customer care; - the A/C control is poor considering that the wind direction cannot be fixed at will; - breakfast is poor in choice. Considering that we are talking about a 4 star hotel this is not acceptable at all...

We enjoyed our one-night stay here. The weather was good in late-mid February and the room was pretty comfortable. The hotel is well-located near the cable car, beach, and plenty of restaurants and walking paths. There is a convenience store on the first floor if you need something late at night. The bathtub in our suite was big and had working jets, something that we've not always found at jacuzzi-style tubs in other hotels. The view from our 16th-floor room was great, too. Only two problems slightly dampened our visit. First, while the tub was great, should you try to take a shower, you'll find the sconce for the shower head is low and unadjustable. In our room, it actually pointed dangerously at the sink, which had a lights in the mirror. We had to be very careful not to get that area wet. Higher, adjustable showerhead holders would be a big convenience. Also, while there are six elevators in the building, two seem to go up to the 20th floor only - maybe the 3rd floor lobby and the 2nd-floor lobby of the other hotel that shares the lower floors of the building. During many parts of the day, elevator waits were long, and you could expect to wait for a few minutes for a crowded elevator that stopped at almost every floor. We began to regret our choice of a 16th-floor room. The view would have been just as nice on a lower floor, but we wouldn't have spent so much time waiting for and traveling in the lifts. The hotel can't do much about that, I know, but just consider that when choosing your room. Even with these small inconveniences, the next time we're in Songdo for a night or two, we'll choose Grab the Ocean again.

We wanted to stay here because of the ocean view, and that did not disappoint. The views were amazing especially the sunrise. It’s right across from Songdo beach and has some good restaurants around it. Would come back.

Clean and spacious room. Love the quiet Songdo beach. The hotel building got starbucks and korean restaurant at level 2, very accessible. Will choose this hotel again when We come back to Busan.

We stayed at the hotel for two nights and had only positive impressions. The room was clean and tidy, very comfortable, but there was a niggle with the bathroom doors; I'd prefer solid doors instead of just glass partitions. The hotel's location is a bit of a bummer: you have to take a bus to get there. Otherwise, everything was great, and the reception staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. We'll definitely return to this hotel on our next visit.

Really enjoyed staying in this hotel in Busan. Great location close to restaurants, shops, and public transport. The room was modern and clean, with a nice view of the ocean. Staff were friendly and check-in was quick and easy.

Nice view if you get the right type of room. Reasonably priced but locationwise not the best if you are tourist from overseas. Located at a well known tourists area for locals but not so for foreigners, if you are looking for places like Hawoondae, Kwanganlee etc. But considering the price and cleanness, recommended.

Great spot with a beautiful view at sunrise and sunset.You can go for a walk, have a coffee or jog near the beach. The breakfasts are varied and very full.
