Toyoko Inn Busan Haeundae 2

This is genuinely the worst hotel I've ever stayed in, and I booked it for three nights. On the first day, I arrived at 11 PM to check in and found sand all over the sofa and bed. The room was large, but the bathroom was tiny, very Japanese-style. The toilet was so small that even my 9-year-old son complained about it. I reported it on the second day. The bed was made, but the sofa still had sand on it. Oh well... Throughout my entire stay, the front desk staff didn't crack a single smile. The positives were the washing machine, dryer, luggage storage, and breakfast. The location by the sea offered ocean views, but unfortunately, no sunrise or sunset views.

The room's cleanliness was okay. On the 25th, when I arrived from Seoul by high-speed rail, I realized how far it was from Seoul Station. It was raining that day, and I wanted to cancel and book a hotel closer to Seoul Station. My head was wet from the rain, and I didn't want to take an hour-long subway ride to Haeundae. The hotel wouldn't let me cancel. I called Trip.com several times, and they kept talking about the 'contractual spirit' of international hotels. How can they do business like this? Plus, check-out was at 10 AM the next morning, and they'd charge 11,000 KRW for a late check-out. In China, I can get a 5-star hotel and check out at 2 PM. All I can say is... Korea is an Asian country, so why do they do business without treating customers like gods? The reason for the bad review is the poor soundproofing. At night, I could hear guests checking in late, getting in and out of the elevator, speaking English, Korean, and Japanese. It was really annoying.

Great location and a beautiful view from the window. I would definitely stay here again.

Quiet yet centrally located, with good hygiene. The room has a Japanese-style layout and offers sea views. It's not far from the subway station, and there are good shopping areas nearby. The outlet mall is about six or seven kilometers away. Popular cafes are also very close.

Great window view! It's also close to the beach, and they offer breakfast, luggage storage, and luggage weighing. There's a convenience store nearby as well. It's really good value for money. It's only a 15-minute taxi ride to the capsule train, very convenient.

Just a 3-minute walk from the Haeundae bus station. The window in the ocean view room was larger than expected. I recommend checking in on the first afternoon. The ocean view is best with the sun behind you at that time. If you check in at night and see the ocean in the morning, it will be backlit and a bit hazy. Breakfast was decent. They had a few more Korean-style options like tteokbokki and spicy stir-fried squid, and quite a few cold dishes.
