New Hotels in Busan

"I was wondering where to spend my long-awaited vacation when I learned about the existence of ryokans. I was worried that ryokans would be prohibitively expensive, but I decided to visit this particular one due to its reasonable price. Although I've never been to Japan, this accommodation perfectly recreated the Japanese atmosphere I've seen in various media. The staff were also very kind, and I would definitely consider staying here again if I come to Busan in the future."

"Staying at 'Mugeum Gwangalli' during my Busan trip was truly the best decision ever! LOL. I didn't expect much since it was a dormitory, but I was relieved throughout my stay because it was much cleaner and more pleasant than I anticipated. Most importantly, the location is amazing. It's close to the subway station, and as soon as you step out of the alley, you're right at Gwangalli Beach, making getting around super convenient. The strict separation of male and female dorms allowed me to relax comfortably, and the independent single-person cabin structure meant I could sleep cozily without feeling self-conscious. The view was also so beautiful that I enjoyed a relaxing time watching the night scenery. If I had known the value for money was this good, I would have come sooner. Thanks to this, I'm romantically wrapping up the beauty of Busan at Mugeum. I will definitely revisit if I come to Busan again!"

"They provide mugs and various types of glasses (soju glasses, wine glasses). The location is excellent, and I loved being able to feel the breeze on the balcony. The hotel staff were friendly, and the room had a fantastic electronic wardrobe that I highly recommend trying out. After having Korean BBQ, using it made my clothes smell fresh again. I accidentally left a half-empty bottle of Korean soju in the fridge when checking out. I contacted Trip.com customer service for help, and surprisingly, the hotel gave me a brand new bottle of the same brand of soju. I was incredibly touched and thankful for the assistance from the Trip.com customer service team and the hotel staff's thoughtful and hospitable arrangement."

"The service was excellent! As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a lovely lady from the front desk who personally escorted us to the third-floor reception to check in. The room we were given was a corner unit with a large, L-shaped balcony. It was very spacious, exactly as pictured – I highly recommend booking a corner room! You get a fantastic 270-degree view of Busan. Downstairs, there's a pedestrian street, making it super convenient for dining and shopping. The duty-free shop isn't far either. This is definitely a top choice for families with kids."

"Check in is very efficient without needing to register at front desk. All info was given a day before the arrival. Location is perfect just outside Jagalchi station walking distance to BIFF night market street. Room is equipped with plates, bowls and cutlery make it easy if you packed food back and ate in the room. We were lucky the room is facing the sea with a magnificent view."

"Just book the HLB Hotel directly; don't bother spending extra on Hyatt Place. It's the same building, the same room types, with only the breakfast restaurant being different. The breakfast is quite expensive, and the only plus is the abalone congee. Don't waste your money booking this one. The soundproofing isn't great, and there's noise from the club behind. The room had a strong odor and construction dust. If you want to be a human air purifier, then this is the place for you."

"I stayed here for a night just before a concert in June. The location is fantastic, right across from the beach. The front desk is on the 5th floor, and there are hotel restaurants on the 1st and 2nd floors. The room was new and modern, with a partial sea view and a great high-floor vista. There's no gym or laundry room. The 3rd and 4th floors are where the main restaurants are, but it seems like the tablet menus are shared. I tried to order pork soup and rice for dinner on the 3rd floor, but there was a bit of a language barrier, and I didn't want to make it too difficult for the staff 😅 (though the soup and rice were really good, by the way! 👌🏻). There's a cafe on the top floor, but I didn't get a chance to go up there. I'd definitely check it out next time if I have the opportunity."

"Stayed for a total of 6 nights this time and I was really satisfied! New opening in 2026, the overall environment is very new, very clean, the location is very good, the traffic is very convenient. The accommodation has access card management, male and female partitions, and it is very safe to live. The bathroom is separated from wet and dry, and the public space has always been maintained very clean. In the past few days, the guests I met were very quiet and polite, and the quality of rest was very good at night. Everyone's lockers have electronic locks, and the beds also provide USB and Type-C sockets, which are very convenient for charging. The small cabin has a sliding door design, good shading effect, and enough privacy to not feel disturbed all the time. In addition, indoor slippers are provided, and clean, soft and fragrant towels are replaced every day. You don't need to prepare these supplies yourself, which is very intimate. There is also a simple breakfast every morning. The staff are very kind and enthusiastic, and will patiently assist if you have any questions. The overall accommodation experience is better than expected. It is the most satisfying accommodation for my trip to Lushan. I will definitely stay again next time and I recommend it to everyone!"

"A very pleasant place. 💙 The room is clean and cozy. Amazing view and a wonderful bathtub 🪻 There's a really cool terrace on the 12th floor. The hallways smell wonderfully clean. 🫂 The room has a huge TV, a comfortable bed, a drying cabinet, a fridge, and everything else you need! Thanks to the staff for the great service; they even provided a beautiful champagne glass. 🥂 It's so cool that they have bath bombs at reception! 👌🛁 And Totoro the cat was a delightful bonus 🐈⬛ There's a bridge near the hotel (by the port) – take a walk, it's an interesting spot where people set up their camps ☀️"

"This was my first solo trip abroad, and my first time in Busan, so I booked this hotel hoping for a new, clean place where I could sleep without stress. It turned out to be the perfect choice! The location is what you'd call a bustling downtown area, perhaps like Kabukicho or Shibuya in Japan. However, it felt very safe, possibly because it's right behind Lotte Department Store. I'd walk past stylish BBQ restaurants and other eateries on my way back, so even if I stayed out late for shopping and dinner, the location felt secure. The hotel lobby and front desk are small and cozy, but stylish and bright. The woman at the front desk was very pleasant and kind to me, even as a Japanese person. It was also reassuring that there was always staff at the front desk, even late at night. The room had a modern feel with bright wood tones and white decor! It was simple, without unnecessary embellishments, which I really liked. Although it felt a bit small, I was out exploring the city during the day. For spending mornings and evenings, I was alone, but I think it would be perfectly sufficient for a couple as well. It was the typical Korean setup with no bathtub, just a shower/toilet/sink area. But to my surprise, in addition to the showerhead, there was also a rain shower! A rain shower would be perfect for warming up, especially in winter. And get this – amenities were included! Everything from a toothbrush to toner was packed into a cute bag, making it feel like you could stay here practically empty-handed. Plus, the toilet even had a bidet, which is such a welcome feature for Japanese people!!!! There was just one tiny thing: it might have been just during my stay, but it was noisy outside from construction starting around 7 AM. However, I think this was just a matter of timing. Once the construction is over, or on a different day, it might be different. Overall, considering the location, amenities, and facilities, it was a very good value for money stay! If I ever go to Busan again, I'd love to stay here. Thank you!"
