    If you are after a self-contained apartment with great views, this was great.

    If you are after a self-contained apartment, this was great but I felt misled by the description. It lists 'Spa and wellness' as one of the facilities and 'enjoy the heated pool' when in fact they are referring to a large bathtub. The 'garden' is a strip of fake grass on the terrace. Also only provided with hand towels.

    A well put together apartment with amazing views of the bay.

    I recently stayed in this room and it was absolute perfection. The space was clean, cozy, and perfectly decorated. The bed was super comfy and the amenities were top-notch. I loved the natural light pouring in through the windows and the view was stunning. The location was also incredibly convenient, with plenty of great restaurants and attractions nearby. Overall, I'd highly recommend this room to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating stay. Can't wait to come back!"

    One of the best quality/price hotel I've seen in my life.

    Maybe the check-in hour, 4 pm is a bit late, my plane landed in Busan at 7am so I got quite a lot of time ot kill while waiting for my room

    I booked the family suite with an ocean view — the apartment was amazing, from the living room all the way to the bathroom. The view over Busan and the ocean was breathtaking. I also appreciated the kindness of the staff, who allowed me to store my luggage in the hall for 10 hours both before and after my stay.

    The apartment is large, spotlessly clean and very modern, with a balcony and great views! The staff were also very friendly, helpful and communicative. Great location too - would definitely recommend!

    Great views for a reasonable price! I was very worried because there were no reviews of this hotel, but it turned out to be completely unnecessary. This hotel had its grand opening on May 3, 2025. Although the building houses several companies, this is the only one that offers in-person front desk service-and that's what l liked the most. They are super kind! You can catch a taxi right next to the building, and the marine cable car station is also just beside it. Would book here again:)

    Super Stay at The December Stay, Songdo Beach

    Nothing, it was All Good..... perhaps provide better instruction for Check In as it was a little hard to find, however asking staff in GS25 at the base of the building helped me find The December Stay Check In on the 3rd Floor

    Fantastic accommodation, with incredible views over Songdo Beach, exactly as per the description. Extremely up market, clean and comfortable with a very large Bed in the separate Bedroom. Very welcoming Host on the 3rd Floor of the Building, up 2 escalators or via the lift in Building 102. Loved Songdo Beach, perfect for the 3 Nights I spent there, plenty of great Restaurants and Bars, Beach is stunning, Coastal Trail is great, didn't go on the Cable Car which is right next to The December Stay. Highly recommend this place.

    Getting to the facility is slightly misleading - there are no brand name on the building yet, however, I suppose it is just because they just opened. There is no 24/7 reception if you expect one, however the staff was really helpful

    The room had a great view and a balcony, it was very new and clean

    No glasses in the kitchen. No mugs or cups for coffee or tea. No knives or forks. Only 1 smallish pillow. As this is a new place I say this only for them to improve on.

    It is a holiday apartment. Nice balcony, nice view. Good location. Spacious. All in all as apartments go is was very nice. Shop on ground floor well stocked.

    The apartment description promised ocean view, which was an important factor in us deciding to choose it. We were disappointed to find out that while we did have a view to the beach and the buildings around it the view from this apartment was not to the open ocean. As mentioned in many of the other reviews, communication with the staff was challenging. While they showed good will and effort, the language barrier caused us some stressful moments.

    The location was great, walking distance to the beach and the cable car and close to many other sites we wanted to visit. The apartment was very clean and comfortable and it was important for us that it was possible to do laundry in the apartment. We rented a car, so the free parking was a great bonus.
