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.

This is a relatively new hotel located at the entrance to Haeundae Beach. The location is decent, though you do have to cross a road with two traffic lights. If you're unlucky, you might wait 90 to 120 seconds, but it's still very close. The side sea view is just okay; you need to be right by the window to see the beach, but it's nice on a clear day. It was very busy during the summer holidays, and our room (01 02) wasn't cleaned by 2 PM, but everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Ideal location: the main street full of shops/cafes/restaurants that work from early mirning till late evening, close to the metro station, located nearly at the beach. Main tourist attractions are near: the beach itself (1 minute walk), food market (1 minute cross the street), Busan aquarium (5 min walk) etc. The room is big and clean, two beds were big too. The room was equipped with a fridge, a kettle and cups, tea and coffee bags, hairdryer, TV that had a movie channel in English. Free luggage storage service after check-out is also provided. We will definitely stay here again if we come to Busan once again.

The room has a family-sized fridge, a washing machine, a cooking counter, a sink, and a balcony. The upstairs sleeping area has a low ceiling, and the bathroom isn't very spacious. The hotel's side entrance is very close to Shinsegae Department Store and the subway, and there are plenty of dining options nearby. There are two housing centers in the same building, so be mindful of where you check in/out. Housekeeping isn't daily. The front desk staff were amazing; they helped us contact a driver to retrieve a power bank we left in the car. We're truly grateful!

We stayed at this hotel during the BTS concert in Busan, and it was the most budget-friendly option for us. The room was very clean. The bed was comfortable, and the sheets were crisp (which made sleeping even more enjoyable). There's a cafeteria on the 1st floor where you can make instant noodles, grab coffee/water/tea, and they also provided tea and coffee sachets in the room. The room has a TV with Korean channels (something for everyone!) and streaming platforms (Netflix, Disney+, etc., but you'll need to use your own account as they're not paid for). We also liked the hotel's location. It's a 30-40 minute walk to Gwangalli Beach (we didn't try taking the bus).

The hotel's location is super convenient, close to everything. There's a convenience store right outside, and getting a taxi is easy. Plus, there's a bakery across the street perfect for breakfast. The beach is also directly opposite the hotel, and the monorail station is very close by.

The accommodations are new, clean and comfortable. Instructions for the aircon, ventilator, water heater washing machine were provided. Cleaning service was provided every 4th day. Change of towels and water requested and given at desk. Our room had no drinking mugs, so we had to purchase disposable cups at the convenience store located in the next building. We made a few requests, but each time the staff said the mugs were out of stock. Good location near Haeundae station and beach. We had glimpses of the sea through our room window.

For my Busan solo trip, I chose the Ramada Encore by Wyndham Haeundae, and its location truly beats most hotels in the same price range. It's a two-minute walk from Exit 3 of Haeundae Station (Subway Line 2) directly to the hotel entrance. No need to lug luggage far in the sun or rain! Getting to Seomyeon, Busan Station, and Gwangalli by subway was super smooth, making it a perfect choice for those who rely on public transport. The Haeundae Beach is just a 5-7 minute walk away. In the evening, you can watch the sunset and enjoy a stroll along the beach breeze. At night, the seaside night market, popular BBQ spots, seafood restaurants, convenience stores (there's an eMart24 downstairs), and Daiso are all within walking distance. Dining, shopping, and stocking up on essentials are incredibly convenient, making daily life a breeze. As a Wyndham brand hotel, the overall quality control is excellent: ✅ The rooms are generally clean and tidy, with soft and comfortable bedding. The hot water pressure is stable, and the hairdryer is powerful and effective. High-floor rooms offer partial sea views and cityscapes, with floor-to-ceiling windows providing great natural light. Essential amenities like a refrigerator, safe, and free high-speed WiFi are all available. ✅ There's a self-service coin laundry room and a small fitness area, which is very convenient for washing clothes during longer trips. The 24-hour front desk can store luggage, and communication in English was seamless. Check-in and check-out were very efficient. ✅ The buffet breakfast offers a decent selection of Western, Chinese, and Korean simple meals. The taste is standard, but you'll definitely leave full and satisfied, allowing for a relaxed meal even if you have an early itinerary. There's also a seasonal rooftop terrace where you can relax and enjoy city views. This isn't a trendy, Instagrammable resort hotel, but rather the most practical, best-located, and value-for-money chain business and resort hotel in the heart of Haeundae. It's ideal for solo travelers or friends focused on sightseeing, eating, and efficient travel, who simply need a clean and reliable place to stay. I highly recommend it to anyone who values subway convenience and a reputable brand. I'll definitely stay here again on my next trip to Haeundae. The corner suite I booked this time was incredibly spacious! Highly recommended!

Overall, we had a good stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, which made for a pleasant experience. That said, the room was smaller than I expected based on the photos. The bathroom was also located inside one of the bedrooms, which made things a little awkward when multiple people were staying in the unit. Another strange detail was that there were no large bath towels provided. The location is definitely one of the hotel’s biggest strengths. It’s close to the beach and within easy reach of nearby restaurants and attractions. The room also had a full kitchen, which was a nice feature. However, it was missing basic kitchen items such as pots, pans, plates, and silverware, so it wasn’t really possible to make full use of the kitchen. Despite a few inconveniences, the hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a great location, making it a solid choice for a beach getaway.

This hotel is amazing. The harbor and city view was breathtaking. The room was really nice with a comfortable bed and nice bathroom with bathtub. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They kept my bags before having access to the room and after check out. The location is nice. The nearest bus stop is 1 min away and underground station 8min away. The hotel is 2 stations away from Busan station. However, I’d recommend not charging for a toothbrush and toothpaste. Maybe give it at check in for those who would need them. I would definitely consider coming back to this hotel !
