3-Star Hotels in Busan

We stayed at this property for a couple nights last month when we had our family emergency in Korea. The property is located in a central area by Yeonsan station - Line1. But it was a little difficult to find it by car/taxi. You should just look up for Hyatt place instead of HLB. The room was big enough for family of 4 - nice and clean and there's an upstairs without furniture or bed - literally nothing. We moved our sofa up there for kid's bed. There's also a laundry machine under the stove which takes forever to wash and dry (3-4 hours) and you need to keep the room key inserted while its run. Otherwise, the machine will stop working. It's got a great city view and stunning day and night. They had a little stove and fridge but no kitchen dishes/pots/utensils were available. Thankfully, there was a convenient store downstairs and lots of restaurants near by. The most disappointing part of this hotel was that they charge for using a swimming pool per person. It was not even cheap or amazing pool rather small. We didn't even bother almost spend $100 per day to use the pool. Forget it! However, The staffs were nice and very helpful and tried to keep our suitcases when we had our early checkout. Overall, I don't think we will go back to the hotel for that much money and with hidden cost.

Pros: The staff were warm and helpful. There was even a Korean-speaking oppa who could communicate in Chinese, and other colleagues spoke English very well, which was convenient. We needed to book an escape room online, and when we asked the staff for help, they booked it for me on their computer and even called the venue to explain the situation, which I greatly appreciated. The room came with a microwave and a mini-fridge, making it very convenient to heat up our own breakfast. The shower had excellent water pressure, and the staff helped us get hot water ready, which was very convenient. The water quality in Korea is so good that my hair didn't frizz after washing, unlike when I'm back home. The same goes for my face; because of the good water quality, my lotion and BB cream applied smoothly, whereas back home I can only use face cream, and my skin still feels a bit dry – sadly, I can't bring this water home! The location is right in Haeundae, at the end of the street leading to the beach. However, the elevator goes directly to the subway station on the B1 level, which was very helpful as it rained quite a bit during our stay. It is indeed the furthest hotel from the beach on this street, but it's still only a pleasant seven or eight-minute walk. Olive Young is nearby, and convenience stores like GS25 are also very accessible. We also had some delicious Korean beef. The location mainly depends on personal needs; I usually prefer places closest to the subway station, so I was very satisfied with this aspect. The hotel's soundproofing is excellent; it has a balcony, and the windows are thick, so when the windows and balcony glass door are closed, you can barely hear any outside noise. It was very quiet. Cons: This is a serviced apartment with a small kitchen, like those open-plan studio apartments you see struggling female leads live in on K-dramas. Although there are four elevators, with two serving the lower floors, we often had to wait a long time. I'd read about this in reviews while planning but didn't pay much attention, only to find out it was true. During the rainy days, going up and down frequently from the hotel was quite frustrating. It might be better if you only leave in the morning and return at night. You must allow plenty of time for check-out, as it's nearly impossible to squeeze into an elevator with luggage. The mattress was too soft; it felt like I was constantly fighting gravity while sleeping. I wasn't the only one; my child also felt very uncomfortable on the first night. There were also yellow stains on the sheets that looked like they wouldn't wash out, which for a hotel, was a bit off-putting. During our stay, there was a sudden power outage – the first time in my life I've experienced one at a hotel – and someone also accidentally triggered the fire alarm. However, for a short trip, the usual price might be acceptable. Since we were traveling with a child during the summer, we couldn't pay too much of a premium, and the overall experience didn't quite match the price. In summary: Excellent staff service and good location.

The location is great, with easy access to public transport and close to the subway station, making it convenient for getting around. The environment is clean. However, the bathroom drain is a bit slow, which causes a drain smell in the room.

View - If you are keen in wharf / harbor view, this hotel (see images) is along the harbour next to wharf, Songdo, so there is no beach on the wharf. At 4am you can hear commotion at the wharf, interesting for a different view from city or sea view. Nearest Songdo beach is still at distance, it is not at door step. Booked a large room for family of 4, comes with 1 Queen bed, 1 single, the last pax ended on the floor with Futons. (Although I indicated i had 4 pax, housekeeper does not seem to be aware, replenishes only for 3 pax?). Small hand towels are issued as bath towel, just be aware. Quite common for smaller hotel accommodation here (inn, AirBnB). Floor heater, water heater works, daily housekeeping. Has bath tub not used at all for winter. Good balcony for sitting in the cold to watch the wharf bustle. Pax using futon had a few bites by bugs, not sure if flew in from outside the room, else the room is clean. Nice open terrace at roof top with telescope to look into Lotte mall at distance, and the open sea after the bridge on the right. Complimentary breakfast offering at basement kitchen is available until 9AM (not 9.30am) - kitchen staff will remind you to finish up at close to 9am, and please clear your dishes at collection area, discard leftovers, return cultery, utensils. Breakfast spread : Cereal with milk (only on weekend), ONE slice of toast with jam, egg/s, one fruit or yoghurt, one coffee/tea, ONE juice, one instant noodles (if you want). Only tried for first morning, other mornings has similar menu on the wall. Staff - looks like husband wife team. Friendly to greet at reception at upper level. Safety wise - As accommodation is located at harbour with large prime movers and containers movements, it is better to travel in groups to look out for each other. I note the drivers are generally careful to look out for pedestrians on the harbour, wharf. Can be a bit dark at night in the surrounding area of the accommodation. Plus point - Double entrance door which allow you to lock inner door in case main door is being accessed externally. Location - About 20mins or so by bus to Busan shopping area where the crowd is. Not too far, The more popular tourist spots, beach sites is further up northeast at Haeundae beach, which is about 1 hour bus ride away. Pricing -, for the pricing, there are better known hotel chains going at more economic rates. So need to do proper research before booking. Else pleasant stay, simple, large room, no fanfare.

Exit 12 of seomyeon metro but have 15steps of stairs challenge carrying your luggage to/from the metro exit. Surrounding is market / eatery. Not much on shopping. Underground shopping 60% is senior clothings & nearer to main station then some up trend design. Bujeon morning market difficult to find breakfast. All eatery stalls are not ready by 9am. The standard gimbap worth Q at 3000Won. Gukbap street many selections starting from 9,500won per bowl.

Im a first timer in busan, saw a travel blog sharing this hotel location and service is great and pricing is afforable. I paid about 150 per night for double room (for 2pax). Encounter quite a few issues but because one of the staff (a young man) his service is the best there and it provide me some comfort. 1) bath towel shortage I was given face towel x2 as a replacement for bath towel. I only know this after i ask on the 2nd day. I also mentioned there were no bottle drinks replaced. So when someone come over and pass me, he told me no more bath towel and gave me 2 x face towel and a semi wet bath towel. Then he wanted to come in and see if i lied about the mineral water. When he open the fridge he saw the drinks (3 bottled) and say there is drink but these were yesterday ones and i asked for 1 only. From what i see, when they come in clean the room, of the room still have water and towel they will not replace or they will replace half? 2) staff being rude There was this guy, probably middle age i encounter him on 4 Apr night time, i went to inform no bath towel on the 1st day. The room only had 1 bath towel and 4x face towel. So counter dont know of the towel shortage. He give me a unhappy face and ask me ”so”, ”what you want”... im speechless and i dont want to spoil my holiday mood. I told him i will comw later to get and he says 1st come 1st serve he dont have so many at the counter. :( 3) no aircon This seems to be a norm for most hotel during cold season. So i had to open rhe balcony door and it was noisy. Anyway i will not come back to this hotel to stay but i must say the location is great. Just beside the traditional market and the stretch has loads of restuarant.

The hotel is a bit old, but the room is spacious and faces the sea with a balcony. The location is convenient, close to the subway station, and it's easy to get a taxi right downstairs. There's also Lotte Department Store nearby, along with cafes and convenience stores.

All rooms have ocean views. I made a reservation in a hurry because I was taking a break during the holiday, but it was good value for money. The free breakfast was attractive (but I never ate it). Songjeong Station on the Beach Train is within 5 minutes on foot. The train passes right in front of the hotel, so you can see it from 9:30. When I went from the night of the 28th to 3/1, the motorcycle noise was loud outside, so I couldn't sleep (it's not the hotel's fault..). The bed was hard, but the room was clean. It was good to stay with my child. It's about a 15-minute walk to Songjeong Beach, but it was quiet, so it was nice. There are raw fish restaurants and grilled clam restaurants on the beach side, and there are many restaurants and cafes in the direction of Gudeokpo. It's far from the city center, but I highly recommend it to those who want quiet. If you're planning to go to Lotte World with your child, I highly recommend it (within 10 minutes by car).

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).
