Dong-gu hotels & places to stay

The rooms where absolutely one of the newest, most modern, and most luxuriously designed one for a supposed 3 star hotel. We checked in at 11am, thankfully they had rooms available at the time. During the check in process (which took all of 2 minutes, no passport verification) they provided a packet which contained some essential bath stuff, a bubble bath soap The best thing about the room was the bathtub, big enough for 2 (medium built persons). The room was very modern and luxurious in design. It featured a huge TV in front of the platform bed. Even had a PC which you could surf the Internet. Location was another good thing about the hotel. Located just a 3 minutes walk from Busan station (both KTX and subway). Checking out was effortless. We checked out at 6.30pm. Went to the counter and returned the keycard and told the staff that we were checking out. She took the card, clicked some stuff, and thanked us for the stay, and mentioned that's all. 2 minutes lol. Overall the stay was a pleasant one, loved the room.

The location is superb, just across the road from Busan KTX Exit 1 where there are small eateries and 24 hrs convenience stores. At Level 1 of the hotel lobby, there are 2 washers & dryers (beside the toilets) which is a plus factor and there is drinks vending machine, water dispenser, ice dispenser and microwave. The 2 of us stayed in the twin bedroom at 20th floor for 3 nights. The hotel room and bathroom is small and we can only open our L-sized luggage on the bed, but everything we need is there and the room is clean. But when we want to request for additional pillows, we can only ask for maximum 1 extra pillow per room. And when we have some issues with the washer & dryer, we tried to approach the counter staff for help but they cannot offer any help or assistance at all, which is pretty disappointing. Overall, the experience is good, room is clean, really easy to reach both Busan KTX and Busan Station Line 1 metro subway (Tips: There's a lift in between exit 4 and 6 if you are too tired from climbing stairs). Staff needs to improve on service standard as they were pretty "cold" and nonchalant attitude towards us.

The best part about this hotel is that it is located right across the street from the train station and around the corner from the famed Texas Street. The worst part about this hotel is that it is located around the corner from Texas Street. The hotel is fairly new and if very nice. The area has plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from. Plus some shopping. However, I suggest you research Texas Street before booking this place for the nightlife.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in Korea. Excellent rooms, enough spaces, and facilities are there. Above all, the location is very near to the metro station. We reached the hotel at 12:45 pm and the manager allowed us to check in. They have early check-in facility if the rooms are available. We booked a double standard room. It was at the 5th floor. They have a lift (generally, in Korea people don't write the number '4' in the lift, becoz they consider this number as bad luck. So sometimes, they write only 'F' in place of '4'). There were two bathrobes, three towels, one big tv (42“), two chairs, hairdryer, coffee maker, one small tea table and one PC. In the toilet, there is a big mirror and the bathroom was spacious. There is a kitchen at the ground floor where the breakfast is provided. It is also clean and have possibility for drinking coffee, latte, etc. You can also use microwave. Water filter is also there at the ground floor.

Stayed at this hotel one night March 2017 coming back from Geoje on a business trip. Hotel seems new, room and bathroom was very clean and looked brand-new. Staff spoke good English and were very polite and accomodating. I was provided with water, coffee, bar fridge, good Wifi, good thirsty towels, all the usual amenities. Noise was not a problem, and the hotel is 4 minutes' walk from Busan Station. NOTE: hotels near Busan Station tend to fill up very quickly on weekends, so it's a good idea to book online a few days in advance.

This is a no frills hotel, basic accommodation only. There are about 70 rooms (10 floors). We booked the deluxe twin room and got one that oversee the bridge. Beautiful sunrise and night view. Room was spacious and bathroom was big, along with a super huge bathtub! The main drawing point about this hotel is the staff. They are friendly and can converse in English! They even helped us ordered food delivery after asking us about our preferences and making recommendations on suitable options. Really 5 star service! Location was about 5 mins walk from busan ktx n subway respectively. There are also many eateries and convenience stores around the hotel. Thumbs up to this hotel for excellent service!

This is a franchise of hotels, it seems, and I have g stayed at any of the others but this one had a wonderful top floor cafe with an outdoor seating area and a nice view of Busan, where complimentary Korean breakfast was served every morning. The room was stylish and modern with cute bathrobes and a jacuzzi bathtub—which we would have used had we not been so obsessed with the excellent public Korean spas and hot baths all around Busan anyway. The area where this hotel is situated is a funny and tacky Texas-themed street, a bit seedy—lots of bars and nightclubs with shady characters by night, but that’s the vibe around Busan central station anyway, and actually it’s very quiet. Once you’re in the hotel it’s totally silent, and they have good security. Super close to all public transport, subway and main station. About 25 min from the intercity bus terminals by rail, but taxis are so cheap in Busan anyway you can easily even get a taxi to the bus terminal or airport for the equivalent of about US $10. Highly recommended.

Booked a two-double beds room. WONDERFUL. - spacious room (esp. bathroom. Got a bathtub too!!!) - big TV - user-friendly computer - sufficient provision of almost all toiletries you could think of - free breakfast which is of high quality (americano and yummy sandwitches/ panini) - friendly staff - air-con which you can actually control (not the stupid centralized system) - located next to Cholang subway station (quite a central location, easy to get around) I mean I would not hesitate for a second to live in this hotel again. BEST!

My hostel asked me to stayed at Dante house with no additional cost because here was full after I booked. Dante house is around here for 1 min by walking. The owners are really kind, they let us early check-in at 10 a.m. for free!!! Because we looked so tired after we took about 24 hours in transportation from my hometown to Busan. The room is very new and clean. The location is near the Busan station, it’s easy to travel by KTX and subway. I really recommend you to book from Dante house

Althought the rooms are not quite large but very clean. The receptionists speak well English, but the cleaners don't. In spite of that staffs are all friendly and helpful. Breakfast includes eggs, ham, toast, milk, juice and coffee which is pretty great. The location is pretty convenient. There are lots of bus stops and of course the Choryang underground station. There is a Top Mart which is a supermarket near Choryang transitional market. Things there are cheap. Totally, I am highly recommend this hostel and it would be my first choice of next visit of Busan!

Out of the four hostels I stayed in Korea, this is the best one. Originally I was planning to stay in the Haeundae area, but since I had booked a super early train in the morning, then I decided that staying in front of the Busan Station would be a better idea. This place is LESS THAN FIVE MINUTES ❨Yes! ❩ walk from the front door of the Station. There are plenty of Korean restaurants ❨BBQ, fried chicken, cold noodles, Jeju❩ and cafes and convenience stores ❨GS25 and CU❩ dotting these few streets, still opening at 11pm. Not to mention there is a Chinatown opp the Stn. This hostel runs its own cafe. Looks quite pro, judging from the barista. The quality of room is very high and CLEAN ❨Yes, u read me right. I've encountered many dirty places in this country.❩ The rooms are operated by door passcode, very pro. I'll definitely stay here if I ever get to visit Busan again. Happy travels!

This is probably the only four-star hotel around Busan KTX station, and I highly recommend it. I gave four stars in Facilities because the there was no shower curtain(!) so the shower water would splash over the toilet. I had to sit down in the tub and take a shower in a four-star hotel. TT Anyone who designed the shower room must have been Korean because Korean bathrooms usually do not have shower curtains. But it might be frustrating to Western travellers. Also breakfast was a whopping 22,000 KRW (about $22) per person, and it was toooo expensive. I've had very nice breakfast in Kyoto's hotel for only $10 USD, and the management should consider bring the price down.

it would help a lot if they provided a map to their place. it took us half an hour to find it. we tried asking around, & the kind people who tried to help us tried to call the phone number of busan inn motel but no one was answering the line. we had to go inside ktx station & ask at their information counter. as soon as we arrived, service was really pleasant. they speak very little english. it would help if you have a printout of your reservation so you can just hand it to them. rooms are spacious, clean, and comfy. no noises through the walls. we booked a simple double bed room, and the room we got had a mini-fridge & complimentary drinks! wifi is fast. really loved our stay here!

Busan Sukbak Guesthouse This place is a perfect 10! The guesthouse was kept clean and tidy on a daily basis and that included the restrooms, kitchen and dining area, and the bedrooms too! Clean towels were neatly folded near the dining area so you can use as many as you want. Toiletries (shampoo, rinse, soap and toothpaste) were also provided. With free breakfast (milk, brewed coffee, cereals, bread, jam). Mind you, you can also eat as much as you want and so we made sure to indulge ourselves. 😂 And the perk that we liked the most? Free laundry and free use of steam iron! Didn't they say that the best things in life are for free? Indeed, it is in Busan! Lol! They also let us borrow their umbrellas! Trust me, you don't get these much perks in a budget-friendly guesthouse.

Pro: The ajuma there is very friendly although she can’t undertstand English and my Korean is not so good she tried her best to communicate haha=) the guest house is just behind the first row of the shop out from the subway station. Take subway to chaoyang take the exist 1. The guest house is connected with a shop selling paint at the ground floor. Right opposite the guesthouse is a convenient store which it is covenient for you to have ramen in the midnight. Do visit chaoyang market just nearby! At checkout we took taxi from the guesthouse to the airport it took about 25minutes costing 17000won. Cons: the heating system in the room just the heater under the floor and it does not cover the whole area so you might be guessing where my next step to land to get on the hot spot. It is freezingly cold during our stay. If could do install a heat air- conditional in the room. There is no water supply for one night the kind owner give us notice in adv and 6 free big bottle of water

Pros: Despite that it's being called a motel, we do find it similar to 2-3 stars hotel. Clean room and bed with BRIGHT lighting! (To our personal preference, bright lighting is always the top requirement in our room selection and this room nails it!) Equipped with TV, mini fridge, big vanity table, hair dryer etc. Public water dispenser available. Staffs are helpful although they speak minimal English. Near KTX station & subway. 24 hours restaurants & bars are across the streets. Fast wifi. Fast check-in & out. Cons: No disappointment so far. Although some may find the room design too old-fashioned or the dim blue light corridor too spooky, but we get use to it sooner than we thought.

They provided everything for a comfortable stay such as towel bathrobe, hair dryer, toileteries everything that you might needed. The heater was working fine everything's great. Located near railway and subway station. Very convenient to travels. The only thing for the people who can't speak Korean is that the staff is somehow not that good at English but it not that much of an obstacle as they tried communicated with us through translator app.

Generally, I had a great stay in this hotel. The 3rd Floor Man's Sauna is free for inhouse guest but need to ask for the ticket from frontdesk. The frontdesk staff can't speak English well but helpful enough to explain to their best. Wonderful location which is only on the left side of Busan Station and have big signs "Hotel Kwang Jang" on the building which cannot be missed. It is also just less than 100m away from the dropping point of the Airport Limo Bus. The floor is heated and you feels like in Summer in the room as the floor is constantly heated.

Hotel is strategically located near Busan Station. From Ktx, exit 7 walk then proceed to exit 10 direction. Simply cross the road, you will see cu and Paris baguette on the left, continue a 2-3mins walk turn left in and you will find the hotel. (Literally next to Brown hands cafe). Towels given are small (even for Asians) - the only thing I feel can change for the better. Otherwise all nice, the room is clean and comfy.. full amenities given, staff were extremely helpful and polite. :) Really had a great stay with the hotel and will definitely return if I come to Busan again. :)

Very nice facilities, and exceptionally clean. The only downside is they basically kick you out for 4 hours each day from 11am-3pm while they clean the place, rooms and lounge area. If you're out exploring the city that's fine, though if you're expecting to be at the hotel it's a little inconvenient. This place is only a couple minutes walk from Busan train station, down a quiet side street. It's also only about 10-15 minutes walk from the international passenger terminal at the port.

This place is super conveniently located, just 2-5 minutes walk from Busan train station. When you book, they email you very clear directions to find the place. They are also only 10-15 minutes walk from the international passenger terminal at the port. The rooms were very clean, well stocked, and even seemed to be sound proofed. The internet was great, with a wifi router in each room, and the ability to plug in a LAN jack if you want a wired connection. The ladies at reception were super enthusiastic, lots of smiles and head nods, and quick to show me around. I'm not sure they spoke a word of English, but it didn't seem to matter. If you look at all confused by anything, they'll demonstrate it for you. I would gladly stay there again.

If you want a basic room for a low price, book this place. It is a hostel so nothing fancy. The host is friendly and will help you with anything like taxis or food recommendations. The room was small but we didn’t care. It was a 4 person bunk bed room with a small shower and sink. Perfect for us since we didn’t need anything fancy. And it is across the street from the KTX Busan station so you can walk there. Also it is a block away from food, shopping and other places you need. If you book this, tell the cab driver to stop at the Vicolo restaurant sign. It’s a white sign that is attached to the building and sticks out toward the street. There are steps leading up to the Inside Busan tiny building.

We needed an hotel next to KTX station. Mirabell Motel was ok, it's just 5 minutes walking from KTX Busan St. It's in Chinatown sector of the city, there are some places to eat nearby. The room was clean, but it felt old. Also, don't expect much facilities, this motel is basically a big building with apartments where you get a key from reception and that's it. It was very cheap though, so on that side, is a good choice for budget travelers.
