The hotel is very well located—just two metro stops from Busan Station and a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway. It's right in downtown Busan, near the fish market and a shopping center. My room was on the third floor and a bit noisy, but it was clean. The bathroom was very basic, with no separate shower space—just an open area with the sink and shower together, without a door or curtain. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel is a great option if you want to stay downtown. Gamcheon Culture Village is about a 40-minute walk or 10 minutes by taxi. If you’re planning to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, a taxi is the fastest and easiest option.

Good points: - Walking distance from BIFF Square. Excellent food and shopping around the area - Housekeeping staff are hardworking and friendly Areas for improvement: - Air-conditioning does not work. The buttons on the remote are labellled in pure Korean, making it difficult for foreigners to understand - Toilet gets clogged easily. When auto-flush system fails, flush button does not do the job either.

Comfortable

Comfortable & room is reasonably big. Location is convenient. However, the negative side is that toilet paper cannot be throw into the toilet bowl, making it very inconvenient.

Located right by the fish market. Lobby located on 2nd Fl. 1st floor one of the store right next to main entrance sells dried seafood. (Expect foul smell if you dont like them) Lobby looks busy and unorganized with group luggage storage as lobby floor are used for luggage storage purpose. Guestroom telephone does not work and its huge life safety matter Place is for foreign guests and group. Good value for the price Left my temperpedic pillow and called same day. Though gentlemen who answered the call went above to check the lost and found as well as checking the room staff was not able to located my pillow. Only potential suspect would be housekeeper.

It was a great experience and I would like to recommand to my friends and coworkers. Easy to access to the shopping area, food street, night market, tour attractions. The only thing I felt the taxi driver sermed not willing to drop-off or pick up at the hotel spot, maybe not easy for them to drive through or take more time to drive. So I would recommand the guests to be a bit patient when waiting for for their ride. Thanks.

We booked two rooms for our stay. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was not satisfactory. We were unable to access both rooms with the card key initially, although the staff responded quickly to address the issue. However, we encountered the same problem again that night, which was resolved after the staff changed the batteries in the door lock. The rooms were very cramped and small. The narrow arrangement made it difficult to move around, and we frequently knocked into the bed edges. Additionally, there was no shower screen, leading to a consistently wet bathroom. The water pressure from the shower head was also quite weak. We had booked rooms with triple beds but were only provided with two bath towels. Despite informing the counter staff and requesting three towels, we continued to receive only two towels each day for the duration of our six-day stay. We had to approach the counter staff daily to obtain the additional towel. On a positive note, the hotel's location is excellent, offering easy access to shopping and transportation.
