H avenue Songjeong
Rooftop pool over Songjeong Beach with a hot tub for the evening
About this hotel
The rooftop here does double duty: pool water during the day, hot tub once the sun drops and the sea breeze turns cooler. Songjeong Beach itself is a few steps away, quieter than the Haeundae strip and better suited to a slow morning walk before the pool opens up. Rooms are set up for families, with a dining table and work desk alongside the usual air-conditioning and free WiFi, and free private parking removes one of the usual headaches of a beach stay. Dalmaji Hill is a short trip away for anyone who wants a coastal view that isn't from the rooftop, and Haeundae Station is close enough for a subway connection into the rest of Busan without needing a car for every outing. The scale stays small throughout, closer to a guesthouse than a resort.

Our take
Good for families or couples who want a rooftop pool without the swim-up-bar energy of the bigger Haeundae hotels, since the hot tub and sea view here read as unwind rather than party. It's a fit for anyone basing themselves around Songjeong Beach specifically rather than Haeundae. Travellers who want a big hotel with multiple restaurants on site will find this too small for that.
- ✓Ask for a sea-view room, the rooftop pool angle rewards the upper floors more than the layout suggests
- ✓Use the hot tub after sunset once the rooftop breeze picks up, it's warmer than an evening swim
- ✓Walk to Songjeong Beach in the morning before the day's heat, it's quieter than Haeundae at that hour
Why we love it

Why guests love itWe picked this over the bigger Haeundae hotels for the quieter beach, and the rooftop pool matched that mood, mostly locals and other small families rather than a crowd. The hot tub in the evening was the real find, warm enough to sit in after a day on Songjeong Beach with the kids worn out. Parking was free and easy, which mattered more than we expected after driving in from the airport.
