Hotels with Bars in Busan

Really enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff were all really professional and super friendly. The room was very clean, spacious and the view is amazing. Location is great, Taxis were easy to get on Uber. The only negative of our stay was the visit to the sauna, which was an additional charge of 55000won, which is perfectly understandable. However, the sauna was really really old and dirty, to the point of slimy. I was in there for about 20 minutes and left. It was a disappointment. Everything else was great.

The Lotte Hotel's location is truly unbeatable. Many people mistakenly think the hotel is right on top of the Lotte Department Store, but it's actually an independent building situated just to the west of it. Level B1 directly connects to the department store, meaning you don't even have to step outside—a lifesaver for shopping on rainy days! Just a heads-up: complimentary toothbrushes and toothpaste are not provided, so make sure to bring your own. The underground walkway also leads straight to Seomyeon Station, a transfer hub for Metro Lines 1 and 2. It’s super convenient for getting to the Haeundae Blueline Park capsule trains, Hwangnyeongsan Mountain, or the Skyline Luge without braving the elements outside. The Seomyeon district itself is the heart of Busan, packed with department stores, duty-free shops, and tons of dining options—making it a one-stop destination for shopping and food. The hotel features well-maintained amenities and professional service, with its greatest perk being the seamless underground network for transit and shopping. You can easily stroll back to the hotel through the basement after shopping at the department store, and catching the metro is a breeze. It’s an ideal choice for tourists visiting Busan who love shopping. One extra tip: children under 12 ride most Busan subways and buses for free using a Tmoney card. Just be sure to pick one up at the airport, head to any convenience store, and register the child's date of birth by presenting their passport. Adults can also enjoy transit transfer discounts for up to two transfers (a total of three legs)—basically, trips are consolidated and you're only charged based on the highest-fare segment, rather than paying three separate full fares.

A pretty large hotel with a comfortable room with a partial view of the city and the beach. The club lounge serves champagne and some light snacks. There was a nice indoor and outdoor pool and a kid indoor play area. The location is within walking distance from the capsule train and the beach.

The original Hilton Busan had excellent facilities. The twin beds were huge, either 1.2 or 1.5 meters each. There were also many swimming pools. On the day we visited, Busan was experiencing its hottest summer in 122 years at 38 degrees Celsius, but it also brought the most beautiful sunset. It was quite cool at night though! The buffet dinner, while a bit pricey, was made with quality ingredients! The hotel is a bit far from Busan city center, but the hotel itself is like a small town where you can find food and drinks.

Everything was perfect! The hotel is conveniently located near Busan Station, with Exit 6 being the nearest exit to the hotel. There’s also a convenience store about 5 minutes’ walk away. Housekeeping is provided daily, including refilling the drinking water, making the bed, emptying the trash, and changing the towels. Recycling and separating trash can be quite a headache when travelling in Korea, so it was really convenient that we didn’t have to worry about it during our stay! The room also has an LG Styler wardrobe, which was really helpful for drying and freshening up our clothes, especially if you’re visiting during winter. The only downside is that the room is slightly small, so we couldn’t fully open both of our 28-inch suitcases at the same time. There’s also no safe box in the room. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel!

The hotel's location is truly fantastic! It's just a few minutes' walk from the subway station, and the surrounding area is great for exploring. There are plenty of food options, a market nearby, and the beach is also very close. You can even walk to Haeundae Station from here. Strolling along the beach was incredibly relaxing. Regarding the accommodation, check-in is strictly after 3 PM; not even 2:30 PM is allowed. English communication was very good, and having a Wowpass machine in the lobby was super convenient. Breakfast was average, but they have a ramen machine, which is a plus! The dining area is small, but they manage breakfast by assigning time slots, which is great because it prevents everyone from crowding together. The room is small and can't fit two large suitcases. The desk lamp was also broken; I had to go to the lobby to ask for a replacement. From the balcony, you can catch a small glimpse of the beach, but the balcony itself looked like it hadn't been cleaned in ages, covered in dust. The general cleaning seemed quite perfunctory; there were a bunch of stickers next to the coffee table (probably left by the previous guest, who clearly lacked manners). I took photos to document everything, please see the pictures.

If you are looking for a stay with a view in Busan, Hotel Adela offers some fantastic visual perks, though it comes with a few logistical ”hurdles”—quite literally, if you end up taking the stairs! Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect. The Room & Amenities The first thing you’ll notice is the generous room size. Unlike many cramped city hotels, there is plenty of space to move around. The View: The highlight of the stay is undoubtedly the stunning harbor view. Watching the bridge light up at night is a great way to wind down. Comfort: The beds are comfortable and provide a good night’s rest. Condition: While the room is clean, some of the furniture is starting to show its age and feels a bit dated. Facilities: Basic toiletries, drinking water, tea, and coffee are all provided. Note that the toilet and bathtub are in the same space (not separated). Climate Control: Be aware that during winter and early spring, the air conditioning is disabled. If the room gets too warm, you’ll need to crack the window to let the crisp Busan air in. The Elevator Challenge (The Biggest Downside) The most significant drawback is the elevator situation. The hotel only has three elevators, which is insufficient for a building of this size—especially since it is a popular choice for large tour groups from Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong. Peak Hours: Between 7:30 AM – 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, the elevators are perpetually packed. The Struggle: It can be so challenging to catch a lift that I actually had to walk down the stairs from the 15th floor to the lobby. If you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, this is a major factor to consider. Dining & Convenience On-site Eats: There is a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant on the 2nd floor that is definitely worth a try—the taste is quite good! Convenience: A CU convenience store is located right in the lobby, which is incredibly handy for late-night snacks or essentials. Breakfast Tip: I recommend skipping the hotel breakfast package. The restaurant is on the 24th floor, meaning you have to wait for the elevator to go up, and then wait again to get back down to the lobby to start your day. You’ll save money and time by eating at one of the many local spots nearby. Location & Accessibility The location is a strong point for shoppers and explorers: Metro: About a 7–8 minute walk to Nampo Station. Shopping: Very close to Lotte Shopping Mall and the famous Gwangbok-ro Shopping Street. Note: The building is shared with another hotel (North Harbor Hotel), which contributes to the high foot traffic in the lobby and elevators. Hotel Adela is a solid choice if you value a spacious room with a beautiful view and want to stay near the Nampo-dong action. However, the elevator delays are a serious test of patience. If you choose to stay here, try to avoid traveling in and out of the hotel during peak tour group hours! Pack your patience for the lobby wait, and definitely grab some fried chicken on the second floor!

The hotel's location with a sea view is very chill. There's a seaside train station right downstairs. It's great for strolling along the beach or enjoying the sea view from the balcony. The rooftop pool is beautiful, and the small one is even heated. There are convenience stores, dessert shops, and restaurants nearby. It's about a 20-minute drive to Haeundae. The hotel decor is quite tasteful and super dopamine-inducing.

The hotel is conveniently located near Exit 3 of Jagalchi Subway Station, within walking distance to Jagalchi Fish Market and BIFF Square. There are many restaurants nearby that are open at night, and there's a CU convenience store right next to the hotel, which is very handy. The room was also quite comfortable.

The room is spacious and clean. However, the bathroom lacks separated wet and dry zones, so showering can wet other areas. The wifi can be slow at times, though overall acceptable. A highlight is the beautiful view of the Gwangan Bridge from the room. I stayed here for a concert, and the price spiked to about double the normal rate. The lobby area feels a bit old and worn, though the staff are kind and responsive. Location is convenient for enjoying the beachfront area with restaurants and stores, but it can be quite loud at night when events are held on Gwangalli Beach. The hotel is about 600 meters from Gwangan Station (Line 2). Taxis are convenient, but rush-hour traffic can be heavy on the two-lane road in front of the hotel. There is a nearby corner convenience store for quick needs.
