After Chapter Hotel Gwanganri

“Good hotel in great location”

The hotel’s design feels pleasant and the spot is excellent, with a comfy room and a nice outdoor bath and pool. The pool cushions were stained, and towels and robes had patches that could use a refresh.

“Beautifully designed and decorated rooms close to the quieter side of the beacjh and great view of the ocean”

This ultra‑modern designer hotel sits just a stone’s throw from the beach and a bunch of great restaurants, yet it remains surprisingly quiet and calm. The view of the bridge and ocean is stunning, and the staff were friendly and helpful during check‑in. The pool, spa, and other facilities are all nice. Our room was beautiful and even had a little rooftop garden attached. The record player that plays as you enter adds a big touch. Underfloor heating and individually controlled air‑con worked well, and the soaking tub was perfect after a long day of walking. One day we had a pre‑packaged traditional Korean breakfast. A few minor points: access isn’t very wheelchair‑friendly, so check if you need it, and we’d love a bit more closet space – we shared a single small hanging area between two people in a huge suite.

The location is great and it’s quiet. The pillows were not good, and the breakfast was disappointing.

“Style over substance…”

The hotel’s location near the beach and the metro station is convenient. However, there was only one chair in the room for two people, and the bed sits on the floor so you can’t really sit on it. Rooms lack proper lighting. One evening, when it was pouring rain, we asked to sit at the tables in the empty/closed restaurant area, but the only tables and chairs were outside, and we were told to put a coat on. The pool cushions were stained and dirty, and the reception staff were not very helpful.

“Good, but should have been great. Needs a good manager who thinks like a guest.”

The style is cool and the concept neat. Yet the hotel feels like it was designed by a consultant and then handed over to staff who missed the point and haven’t really cared for it. The outdoor areas are lovely, but the cushions have been left out and are now stained from the rain. The rooms have an Asian brutalist vibe, but some sliding doors aren’t fitted properly and you have to drag them. The Jacuzzi tub faucet lacks enough water pressure to reach the tub without leaking. The wet‑room shower/bath smells musty even though it was clean. Everything is super cool, but it doesn’t all “work” for one reason or another. It’s not far from being a bad hotel if they don’t actually spend a bit of time in the rooms, using them like guests would so that they fix the small things.
