Nice pool (but cold) and
unique room decor. Friendly staff. On the downside: strong sewer smell in the bathroom, bar and restaurant were closed. No housekeeping if you're in the room during their rounds. The sofa bed for the 4th person was uncomfortable. Overpriced compared to other hotels with better standards.

Great location and friendly staff
The location of the hotel is great - next door to a fabulous cocktail bar - possibly the best I’ve been to called Railside bar and also next to the beach train station.
There is a great boardwalk that runs the length of the beach train taking you to the livelier side of town.
We found the staff very helpful unfortunately the way the lift works you tend to bypass the lobby area as you come and go, which is a shame as it’s a nice way to interact and appreciate the service of the staff.

Putting Coolest in the title creates certain expectations. It's probably not as cool as when it first opened. Great room, great view, lovely rooftop pool.

The property was great for the train/sky capsule line, and were at a couple of great restaurants nearby. However, the reception was not always manned, we were asked to schedule our room service, and the breakfast was poor - a croissant with ham and cheese (no vegetarian option) and three tiny pieces of cut fruit.

A great stay at The Coolest Hotel
We enjoyed our stay at The Coolest Hotel. The front desk staff (Rayoon) was so helpful and kind. The breakfast was also convenient! We enjoyed the view from our balcony as well as the pool. The room we booked was the smallest room type. Perhaps next time I would book a slightly bigger one.

The view from the room and the pool was amazing! Breakfast was so delicious! The staff and the manager were so friendly and warm. I made some mistakes during check-out, but the manager helped me a lot in fixing the problems for me. Appreciate it! Hotel is next to the famous Busan travel train. Come and stay at this fabulous place!

Great hotel on the beach
We loved The Coolest Hotel. The staff was wonderful. They helped us with transportation and ideas of where to go. Our last day we had to leave early before our paid breakfast time and they prepared a to-go breakfast for us. The beach the hotel overlooks is Songjeong Beach and it has a relaxed mellow surfer vibe that is very different from the busier beaches of the city. You can stroll along the water’s edge in the morning.

A super cool hotel
Hey I’m PY from Taiwan. I was here with my family. We all love this hotel, very good location if you have plan to visit east Busan and super friendly service. The girl and guy were super nice to us which made us feel like stay at our home. Also, the blue line park station is very near hotel, the rooftop swimming pool is awesome as well, great view and atmosphere. We have already plan our next busan trip and stay here again in Summer

The hotel is pretty new, less than a year old, so the rooms are spacious, everything worked perfectly and the hotel has some charm with the pool at the rooftop and the great views of the beach from the room. Staff was great, very nice , polite and helpful. Finally location wise, is next to the beach, one of the tourist attractions to Busan but a bit far from anything else. Still there are ways around like subway or the costal touristic trains that takes you closer Busan center. Will recomend it!

Trying to be Cool but not nailing it
Our room had a bath with a fab view of the beach but the whole set up was weird. There was no restaurant so you had to collect your breakfast from reception. The rooftop pool was the best part of the hotel. Transport was not especially easy unless you caught the slow moving tourist tram (it was quite a hike to either the subway or a bus stop). Would recommend staying in Haendae unless the point of your trip was to get to the beach.

It could be because we were here during a more off season, but the hotel seemed almost abandoned. Dark in hallways, issues with our room door beeping constantly when we left or returned, the bed feels like sleeping on a rock, and they don’t clean your room during your stay unless you pay extra.
The beach view was incredible from the room, there were always fresh bottles of water outside our door in the morning, and the location is the absolute best. You are close to so many things.

This is probably a great place during Summer. But during my stay in April it was too cold to be by the pool. And if you want to see Busan city, it's an inconvenient location. When When I came to check in, I was told to wait 10 minutes, because there was no way to see if I could check in before the official check-in time, which I found very strange. A woman at reception barely spoke English, and it was difficult to get help when I had a question. A man at reception was very nice, though, and very helpful, so thanks to him.

The hotel had such a great vibe, near transit amenities and in a cute sleepy surf town! Place was clean, staff were polite and kind, i never tried the restaurant. Lots of places to eat. If you run, amazing running path all the way to Haeundae. 40 min walk to the Yonugungsa Temple and Lotte Mall.
