My stay was terrible.
1️⃣ The biggest issue was being assigned a single room on the 13th floor (out of 21) facing the main road. I assume most of the single rooms are on this side. I thought being on a high floor would be enough, but the bus noise from the main road was still loud enough to keep me awake until 1 or 2 AM. I had to wear earplugs to sleep. And since my earplugs tend to fall out while I'm sleeping, I'd be woken up by the buses early in the morning again.
2️⃣ The second major problem was that the hotel's exterior walls seem to be an outdated metal design. It happened to rain heavily during my trip to Busan, especially at night, which resulted in a constant '哒哒' (tapping) sound of raindrops hitting the metal. It was incredibly, incredibly, incredibly noisy, making it very difficult to fall asleep. Given that late June to late July is Busan's rainy season, I'd really advise caution before booking!⚠️
3️⃣ The hotel decor is definitely dated; the carpet in my room wasn't even fully intact. Furthermore, there's an imbalance between the number of guests and elevators (floors 4-21 are guest rooms, but there are only three elevators). Getting downstairs during peak hours was extremely difficult; the elevator would basically stop on every floor and still be too full to get in. One day, I ended up taking the stairs down.
4️⃣ There are very few food options nearby, just a convenience store downstairs. Most other eateries are either at Busan Station to the north or Nampo-dong to the south. Plus, it's far from the subway station, so you have to take a bus everywhere. It's also quite a distance from Busan Station, feeling like about a kilometer's walk.
