Centum Premier Hotel

The lobby has two front desks for different hotels. The room faces the center of the building, so it's a bit dim. There are rooms from different hotels on the same floor, and the mall next door closes quite early. The subway is a 5-minute walk away. Downstairs, there's a convenience store and an Olive Young; they're not big, but they have a decent selection of goods.

The room was incredibly small and very basic. The price of the room during the National Day holiday increased several times over. The water pressure from the sink in the bathroom wasn't great. After turning off the showerhead, water would still drip for a while. The bathroom door wouldn't stay open or closed on its own without being propped. At night, the mini-fridge in the room would make noticeable noises occasionally, which was a bit startling. The front desk service was just okay; the staff seemed expressionless and not very enthusiastic. It felt like settling for a place. During peak season, there's really no need to stay at this hotel. You pay a lot of money for a terrible experience, feeling like a complete rip-off. There are a few restaurants near the hotel that aren't worth trying; the food is mediocre. There are some convenience stores nearby, which is handy for buying things. I recommend paying with Alipay because T-money can often have issues. Shinsegae Department Store and Lotte Department Store are nearby, which is convenient, but whenever you try to buy something, they always say they don't have your size, color, or it's out of stock – a wasted trip for shopping. The subway station is fairly close. It takes about 10-15 minutes by taxi to Haeundae Beach. Getting to Gamcheon Culture Village (Little Prince photo spot) is super far by taxi, but you can take the subway for about an hour. However, there are many uphill climbs there, so for comfort, it's better to just take a taxi directly. If you're taking a taxi to the airport, you can ask the front desk to call one for you, which will be slightly cheaper than calling one yourself. During off-peak hours, a taxi to the airport takes about 30-40 minutes and costs around 120 RMB.

The loft suite was a wonderful surprise, absolutely beautiful! I'll definitely be back next time. The elevator lobby had a faint grape gummy candy scent, and there's an OY (store/restaurant) right downstairs, which is very convenient. It's also about a 10-minute walk to both beaches.

The hotel is conveniently located directly across from BEXCO, which was perfect for attending the concert. Downstairs, there's an Olive Young, CU, and 7-Eleven, making it really easy to grab food and other essentials. The room wasn't huge, but it was perfectly adequate, and the cleanliness was excellent. Overall, I'm very satisfied.

The hotel is conveniently located near Shinsegae Department Store, the subway station, and Olive Young. There's also a convenience store within the hotel, which is super handy. The room itself was nice, the bed was very soft and comfortable, and the pillows were great for sleeping. Highly recommended!
