Quite comfortable stay

Second time staying here. Seems like the room size is the same for standard n deluxe. Last time stayed in deluxe room - 1 large double bed n 1 single bed, so not much space left. This time 2 single beds so more room to place baggage.

Comfortable

Comfortable & room is reasonably big. Location is convenient. However, the negative side is that toilet paper cannot be throw into the toilet bowl, making it very inconvenient.

Noëlle

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
The hotel is very well located—just two metro stops from Busan Station and a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway. It's right in downtown Busan, near the fish market and a shopping center. My room was on the third floor and a bit noisy, but it was clean. The bathroom was very basic, with no separate shower space—just an open area with the sink and shower together, without a door or curtain. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel is a great option if you want to stay downtown. Gamcheon Culture Village is about a 40-minute walk or 10 minutes by taxi. If you’re planning to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, a taxi is the fastest and easiest option.
