4-Star Hotels in Busan

I booked this place over a month in advance, and it has a lovely modern-retro vibe, very cozy. The shower and toilet are separate, and it even comes with a Dyson hairdryer. The room feels different from a typical hotel room. On the ground floor is a coffee shop owned by the same person, which closes at 9 PM. You can use your card to enter and exit through the side door. Upon check-in, you get two complimentary Americanos (you can swap them for other drinks by paying the difference). It's very convenient if you're visiting Yeongdo, though it's a bit far from Gwangalli and Haeundae. Little surprises: 1. Toothpaste, toothbrushes, shower caps, etc., are provided. 2. The mini-fridge drinks and snacks are free. 3. A handwritten note and a creative cultural souvenir are gifted. Amenities: Convenience store: Across from the coffee shop. Shopping: Nampo-dong Walking Street, Lotte Department Store, Olive Young, etc. (10-minute walk). Restaurants: Many dining options nearby, and the owner also provides recommendations – check the check-in guide. Minor regrets: 1. The bed frame has sharp corners, and due to its placement, it's easy to accidentally bump into it. You need to be mindful of your walking path. 2. The separate shower room has no place to put clothes. I booked Room 2 this time; I wonder if other room types have a better layout. This place is very relaxing, perfect for a two-day getaway to clear your mind. The owner is also very enthusiastic. Afterwards, you can switch to another hotel in Haeundae or Gwangalli to enjoy the sea, explore attractions, and go shopping.

I stayed in an Ocean View Classic Room. Although it was a bit disappointing that it didn't have a full-length window, the view wasn't bad for a mid-range priced hotel (see attached photos). The peak season rate was a bit expensive, but it was understandable. I think it would be a good value for money stay during the off-season. Centum Station is also a 5-minute walk away, which is convenient for those traveling by public transport. There are many convenience stores and restaurants around the hotel, which made it very satisfactory for a business trip. The room condition was clean and good, but it was a bit disappointing that cleaning was only done once every 3 nights (it was a shame that I couldn't request room cleaning during my 2-night stay).

The location is fantastic. It's just a few minutes' walk from the bus stop coming from Busan Airport, and the subway station is also a few minutes away on foot. Right downstairs is a bustling commercial and food street. The front desk staff were very friendly, and the room is spacious. The only minor issue is that sometimes you can hear singing from the street downstairs.

Overall, I was very satisfied. However, after I got my room card and went to my room, I found the door wide open. This was a bit disappointing. It made me think that people other than the person who booked the room could easily go in and out. Aside from that, there's nothing else that really comes to mind. The water pressure was good, and the bed was comfortable. The soundproofing was also decent, but the open door just bothered me. I don't understand why it was left open. It made me feel like I had to check every corner of the room when I entered. I hope this can be improved. Plus, you can freely access the room floors without a card, which makes it easy for non-guests to wander around.

The location of the apartment is quite good: it is within walking distance of the metro station and major bus stops, and the beach is also nearby. The bed was very comfortable, with excellent bed linen and a very pleasant duvet. Everything was very clean, and the room had a nice view with a partial view of the beach. The apartment was generally well equipped with appliances, and the fast Wi-Fi was another plus. I also really appreciated the heated floor. The staff were polite, helpful, and spoke good English. However, there were several small issues that affected the overall impression. The power button on the kettle was broken, so I had to reach inside the mechanism to switch it on. There was also a washing machine in the apartment, but guests were not allowed to use it. This was a significant downside for a longer stay. There was no hair conditioner, which I would normally expect in accommodation of this level. Also, the shampoo and shower gel smelled exactly the same, which made them feel like the same product. Another thing I did not like was the number of warning signs about fines, especially the penalties for not washing the dishes or sorting the rubbish properly. It made the atmosphere feel less welcoming than it could have been. One of the biggest disappointments was that the gym and swimming pool on the 38th floor were no longer available because this facility had been closed for the entire building. I understand that this was not the host’s fault, but I was not informed about it before check-in, and access to the gym and pool had been one of the main reasons I chose this apartment. There were also some surprising omissions in terms of basic kitchenware. There was no fork in the apartment, so I had to use a plastic fork from a nearby convenience store. There were also no proper cups or glasses only small plastic shot glasses, so I ended up drinking water from those, which felt quite strange. On the positive side, there was a water purifier in the room, which was very convenient. Overall, the apartment was clean, comfortable, well located, and had several strong advantages, but a number of small maintenance and communication issues prevented the stay from being as good as it could have been.

Due to a thunderstorm in Shanghai, my flight was cancelled, and I had to stay an extra night. I picked this hotel randomly. When I arrived, the room I booked wasn't available yet, so the hotel upgraded me directly. Everything about the room was great; it even had a large living room, and the view from the window was also good. Too bad it was only for one hurried night. The hotel is within walking distance of a Lotte Department Store, and there are plenty of dining options nearby.

I visited for business and the soundproofing was great, making it ideal for getting work done. The facilities are also wonderful, making it a very nice place to stay. Although I came on a business trip, it felt like a relaxing getaway. The basic service was friendly and the amenities were well-provided.

The location is incredibly convenient, right next to a bustling commercial street, making shopping a breeze. There's even a Daiso nearby for affordable Korean goods. The subway and bus stops are right by the hotel, and there are plenty of dining options close by.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The highlight was definitely the amazing sea view from the room. Waking up and seeing the ocean was absolutely beautiful. The room was clean and comfortable, and the location was convenient. I really enjoyed my stay and would happily come back again. Highly recommended!

This is an apartment hotel. One bed is equivalent to a single bed in China. We found a room with two beds and it was quite comfortable! Because it's in Haeundae, there's some bass noise at night, but it's not piercing and acceptable for sleeping! The hotel is newly renovated and very clean. The shampoo and shower gel smell quite nice, but toothbrushes and toothpaste are not provided. It's a short walk to the beach, and there's a convenient pedestrian street nearby.
