NewCZ Haeundae Residence

The location is not ideal as it is a bit far from The Oasis, which I think is the heart of Haeundae Beach. It takes about 10–15 minutes to walk there. If you prefer staying close to the main beach area and attractions, this might be slightly inconvenient. However, the area is quiet and peaceful.

We were overall impressed with this apartment. The location was really good, very near to restaurants and the Haeundae beach. We made a last minute booking for a stay on Christmas Eve. Check in was smooth and we even got an upgrade for our booking because they were so full that day and didn’t have our ocean view apartment available so we got upgraded to a penthouse panorama full ocean view apartment.

Extremely new and very modern, but almost everything came with an extra charge. It felt a bit extra and not in a good way. We’ve never received so much paperwork and so many instructions at any hotel or Airbnb before. From detailed recycling rules to cleaning guidelines for the few plates and pieces of cutlery provided (yet no kitchen cloth or drying rack to actually clean them), it all felt unnecessarily complicated. The service wasn’t great either. At checkin, we were informed via a printed document that during our entire stay we had been required to keep the curtains closed from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. because of exterior construction work on the windows information that was never shared before check-in. This led to a little frustrating back and forth with the staff, though they eventually offered one-time free access to the 38th-floor facilities (which normally costs around 25k KRW per person for the gym, sauna, and pool). Our room was also definitely smaller than the advertised 24 m². Still, everything was new and very clean, with fresh towels provided daily. The in-room water filter was also a nice touch.

We stayed at NewCZ Haeundae Residence during our trip to Busan and had a really pleasant experience. The location was fantastic — just a short walk to Haeundae Beach, surrounded by plenty of cafes, restaurants, and convenience stores. Super convenient if you want to explore the area without needing to drive. The room was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything we needed, including a small kitchenette — perfect for families or longer stays. The view from our room was lovely, especially at night. Check-in was smooth and staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, it’s a great choice if you’re looking for a comfortable, fuss-free stay in a great location near Haeundae Beach. We’d definitely consider staying here again next time we’re in Busan!
