The room is small but functional. Most things are available if not all. Staffs are very polite and helpful.
Great location for visiting BIFF square and Jagalchi market. Lots of food stalls nearby too. The sea view was lovely, and the room was clean and comfortable.
The hotel is located in good location.
But it’s very not clean and not comfortable.
The room was dirty when we have checked in - bathroom, pillows, floor.
The bad is really not comfortable.
During checking in, we got only one key.
We have asked for one more, but answered that we need to give deposit for it.
We got only one tower daily despite the fact we were two in the room
It was bad. Very bad quality mattresses. So small can't even fit or open 2 medium size luggage . Flush pressure was low . managed to get the toilet fixed after repeated complaints.
The hotel is very well located—just two metro stops from Busan Station and a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway. It's right in downtown Busan, near the fish market and a shopping center. My room was on the third floor and a bit noisy, but it was clean. The bathroom was very basic, with no separate shower space—just an open area with the sink and shower together, without a door or curtain. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel is a great option if you want to stay downtown. Gamcheon Culture Village is about a 40-minute walk or 10 minutes by taxi. If you’re planning to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, a taxi is the fastest and easiest option.
Good points:
- Walking distance from BIFF Square. Excellent food and shopping around the area
- Housekeeping staff are hardworking and friendly
Areas for improvement:
- Air-conditioning does not work. The buttons on the remote are labellled in pure Korean, making it difficult for foreigners to understand
- Toilet gets clogged easily. When auto-flush system fails, flush button does not do the job either.
Comfortable & room is reasonably big. Location is convenient. However, the negative side is that toilet paper cannot be throw into the toilet bowl, making it very inconvenient.
