minimalist stay
if you need a quick stay, it's fine. was not the most comfortable as a solo female traveler - shortened my stay. gave indications of a lovel motel so just be aware. also was not really in the best part of town if you are trying to stay towards more of the tourist highlights in Busan, would recommend further east along the beach or another area.
The sheets smelled strongly of bleach and I didn't notice at first because the window was open when I first walked in. After sightseeing, I came home tired and fell asleep but was woken up at 5AM by the horrible bleach odor. I couldn't fall asleep again and felt incredibly tired driving back to Seoul. Even my pajamas reeked of bleach afterwards. I understand this is technically a love motel but my cousin's room didn't smell like this. The rest of the room seemed clean as well as the bathroom.. and the staff was courteous but man.. whoever changed the sheets were totally ignorant or inexperienced. The whole point of travelers booking a room is to get some rest. I didn't receive that here.
Nice return visit to this hotel, my second time staying and wouldn't hesitate to stay again in the future. Everything about this hotel is great, only negative being hearing the guests in rooms next to you if they are being loud, and windows aren't soundproof so drunk people hanging out in the parking lot right beside the hotel at 3am can be heard quite well.
The Fringe Festival was going on, so there were tons of people at the beach. There was a craft beer restaurant and bar that was super delicious, and they sell bottles of beer you can take to go.
Oh the Hotel Ara, where to begin...
I was coming to Busan for business and didn't want to spend a fortune on the one night I was paying out of pocket so I booked the Ara. The location is great, not more than a three min walk to the beach, the room was very large, with a jacuzzi tub with an amazing light show), and had a partial ocean view (through the other hotels). I get the feeling this is not a place that one brings their wife but there was nothing gross or seedy about anything. The woman at the front desk was surly at first but ended up being very sweet.
Biggest gripe was hair in the tub.
Overall three and a half stars for location, size of room, and the jacuzzi light show. Would I stay there again? Probably not, but I cannot complain about it. It was an experience.
