Ramada Encore by Wyndham Busan Station

This hotel was a pleasant surprise! It's super convenient, right near Busan Station's Exit 1, and also visible from Subway Exit 6. Plus, the hop-on-hop-off tour bus starts and ends right outside the hotel (just remember it doesn't run on Mondays and Tuesdays). It's a tall, standard 4-star chain hotel. I had a twin room, around 16 square meters, with a floor-to-ceiling window. The TV even had a CCTV channel! Housekeeping cleaned daily, providing two bottles of mineral water and soft white towels, and a bathrobe. There's a shower but no bathtub, and a bidet toilet. The front desk staff speaks English, and check-in is at 3:00 PM. You can also store your luggage. A taxi from Busan Airport to the hotel cost about 16,400 Korean Won. Just a heads up, they primarily take physical credit cards and cash here; WeChat Pay and Alipay aren't widely accepted. I felt very safe around Busan Station, and there are always taxis available right outside the hotel. I'd definitely stay here again!

Overall, it was okay. However, the air filter in the room hadn't been cleaned in a long time. I told the front desk the next day, and they did clean the filter that day, but the room still smelled terrible. When I reported it to the front desk, they immediately moved me to another room. But even in the new room, the air filter looked very dirty. I mentioned it to the staff member who helped me switch rooms, but it was never cleaned before I checked out.

The hotel's location is unbeatable, right next to Busan Station, making it perfect for those catching an early KTX train or arriving by KTX to explore. Subway and taxi access are both incredibly convenient! The front desk service was also good. The only downside was noticeable dust in some areas of the room. Still recommend staying here!

Better late than never for this review! This hotel is right next to Seoul Station; you literally step out of Exit 1 of the train station and you're there. There's a taxi stand right in front of the hotel, and the subway's Exit 6 is about a hundred meters away, where you'll also find bus stops for all directions. It's incredibly convenient for getting to all the tourist spots. The hotel itself is quite large, but it's well-managed, and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We were able to communicate effectively using mobile translation apps. The rooms are clean, and all the facilities work perfectly. The breakfast selection is good with plenty of options. The only minor drawback is that the dining area can get quite crowded.
