Busan Hostels

It’s a new facility, so it’s clean and it feels like everything has been well thought out — they even have bidet toilets. There are money operated laundry machines in the basement, which were handy, just be sure to put your money in after you’ve loaded the washer, because the timer starts counting down as soon as you put it in. If you have a bigger suitcase it won’t fit in the locker, but there’s plenty of storage space and CCTV everywhere. The people who work there are very helpful and patient. Self check-in and check-out was a plus, it’s also well located (only a few stops from Busan station). Breakfast is quite simple (cereal, juices, coffee, bread), but sufficient. The capsules are quite soacious and have fans inside, which is a plus.

飯店很新，應該是有重新裝潢過的樣子！地理位置很方便，附近就有便利超商跟BBQ炸雞，不用擔心肚子餓沒東西吃！而且超級大，服務台很親切，如果是要去社稷棒球場看演唱會，不用轉車，從釜山車站也可以直達，剛好在兩條線的交會處，下次去還會再考慮入住！

We loved our stay at The First Ocean Gwangan! The location was great. We had a good view of Gwangalli Beach and the stunning Gwangan Bridge. It took us less than 10mins to walk from the nearest metro station. There were bus stops and plenty of shops and eateries nearby. The room was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. We really appreciated having a washer in the room. The bathroom was small. Response from staff were fast and helpful. Check in and out were easy. Luggage storage was available for early arrivals. Just follow the instructions given by the staff.

The place was a bit dirty when we arrived, hair in the bathroom in the sink and some stains on the walls as well. Walls are extremely thin, you can hear people outside of your room and your neighbors enjoying their night. For the price I paid, I’m not going to complain. However, the workers were extremely nice, if you don’t mind the transportation time, I would recommend.

It was easy to understand the location because it was close to Exit 2. There were olive young, mega coffee, GS25, etc. nearby, so it is convenient for shopping. Two bottles of water and towels were replenished every day while I was out. Recently, there are many hotels with amenities that do not have toothbrushes, but it was in this hotel. There was no shower curtain, but if you were careful, the toilet wouldn't get wet and the floor was dry the next day, so it wasn't bad.

Check-in was super easy. I was a bit worried about the cleanliness because of old comments, but it was absolutely spotless – the floor and bedding were impeccable. Indeed, the facilities aren't brand new, but for a hotel in central Busan at this price, you can't really ask for more... and it certainly doesn't detract from sleeping comfort. The room is spacious and has everything you need: hot water, air conditioning, a fridge…

As a ********* exchange student in Korea, Billy Hotel has always been my top choice whenever I visit Busan for holidays or weekends. I'm a loyal, repeat guest! This hotel was originally operated by a management company, but recently, the owner made a very thoughtful and decisive decision to switch to a new management company. To my surprise, this change has led to a significant upgrade in the overall quality and cleanliness of the entire hotel! Especially in the 'cleanliness' aspect, the meticulous attention to detail is truly and distinctly different from before. Whether it's the spotless metallic luster of the bathroom fixtures, the impeccably dry and comfortable bedding, or the maintenance of tiny details in hidden corners of the room, everything shows an astonishing level of professionalism and extreme care. The moment you open the door, you're greeted with a refreshed and incredibly clean, comfortable feeling. As budget-conscious exchange students, we already highly appreciate the excellent value for money, superior location, convenient smart home appliances controlled by a mobile app, and the consistently warm and friendly service. Now, with the added comprehensive upgrade to impeccable, top-tier cleanliness, every stay truly surprises us and gives us 100% peace of mind. Every time I come to Busan to travel or relax, this place feels like a cozy second home in Korea, completely easing the fatigue of studying abroad. This is definitely a top-notch lodging that I will continue to return to and always support. I wholeheartedly and strongly recommend it to all friends visiting Korea!

I had to make a last-minute reservation during the holiday season, so I couldn't get a detailed look. The location was a bit disappointing, as it was about a 40-50 minute drive to Seomyeon, Gwangalli, and Haeundae. However, for the price - the room was spacious, the facilities were good, and the service (a simple breakfast was provided) was decent. However - When I checked in, there was a toothbrush under the sink that someone had dropped. The air conditioning was too cold on power mode and too hot on other modes - it didn't seem to adjust well. The air conditioning was quite noisy, so those with sensitive skin might have trouble sleeping. There was no ambient noise (since it's near an industrial complex, it was very quiet during the holiday).

I stayed here just a few days before, and chose to stay here yet again after coming back from an excursion to Busan. The self check-in process is smooth even after the check-in counter is closed at late night. Perfect location if you arrive into Seoul train station at midnight, either from Korail or airport train. Even if all metros lines are closed. You can just walk to the guesthouse within 10 mins from Seoul station. During the day, there is a metro station at your doorsteps connecting to Seoul Station in 1 stop. The room is clean and warm. The owner is very friendly.

I stayed here for an extended period with my wife and our 3- and 4-year-old children. There's a convenience store, a tonkatsu restaurant, and a pizza place nearby, so it was great for the kids. My family and I walked to the laundromat to do our laundry. It's a little far, but it's a good place to stop by on your way out for dinner.
