Not the best location”

I'm actually a member of the Toyoko Inn chain hotels, but somehow I couldn't book a twin room on their website. Interestingly I got my twin room via Agoda.com - OK, I'm sidetracking. Anyway because there are two Toyoko Inn around the Busan Station area, so it's easy to mix up the two. The one next to the train station is Toyoko Inn Busan Station 1, while this one is actually nearer to Jungang subway station. Location-wise, it is definitely not the best because it's neither here nor there, and you have to walk for about 7 - 10 minutes before you get to the subway station. There aren't much around the hotel itself as well except a convenience store. Unless you don't mind the walking, you might do well to look elsewhere. As for the hotel itself, I would say that because a good number of Japanese tourists stay here, so the staff speak almost just Japanese and Korean. For me who is not good in both languages, I would need to use English but that proved to be a difficulty sometimes as the staff seem uneasy using English. Bar the real simple and essential words, they have difficulty understanding further. I suppose it was my responsibility to know how to speak Korean. But then that's what you get when you are paying that kind of prices only.

Love tha location.”

i like the hotel because it has a free wifi. and we need this very much for us to communicate in our children left in our place. because our phone is not working. the location is very near to the busan station. many restaurants around. and it is near lotto dept store. waking distance to some parks . they have free breakfast...even though the food is almost the same everyday it's still okay. they gave complimentary water and tea everyday...hope all hotel are like toyoko inn... even though we send to the other toyoko inn by the taxi driver... and resulting us to walk from that hotel to the other one... it's a great experience.

Great clean disciplined and no nonsense hotel :)”

Happy guest in this great hotel , being spoilt by what we had since arriving Busan that we compare it with other Seoul hotel of the same price We feel more n more that toyoko inn Busan should be rated at least a 4 star to 5 star for their standard they maintain such a clean & generous breakfast they provide not forgetting their free laundry services too :) all good except their front desk staff should have been more friendly smile more

Nice Simple Price Room”

We thought that this Toyoko Inn was very nice and we enjoyed our stay. It was very clean and close to the subway exit. The neighborhood near was very nice and quiet, and it was close enough to the train station to be convenient for us. The rooms were normal, not big nor too small. For the price we think you get a great deal and it was a good hotel for a couple vacationing in Busan for the weekend. I would suggest it to a couple who is looking for a nice hotel.

nice & great service with a smile,,,”

I enjoy my stay here in Toyoko Inn Hotel,, very accessible to lotte dept store,, enjoy my shopping spree,,, also a walking distance to tourist bus station,, just to pay 10,000 won and you can go around busan,, just keep your tickets and you can use the tickets around busan for the whole day of tour. Im surely stay again here in toyoko inn hotel when i came back again here in busan,,,nice and clean hotel also.

lovely & cozy hotel with good service!!!!”

having a room with breakfast included is really a good deal!! The room is small, but includes all the things you need. The toilet is really very small, but its clean and comfortable. Much better than staying in some motels with more of less the same price!! Highly recommended!!! The breakfast is not too good... but still acceptable!!! The locaiton is just 5 mins walk from Metro. We will definitely stay in Toyoko Inn again if we visit Busan next time.

All you need is included”

Location wise, I would recommend Toyoko Inn Busan Station1. Not many taxi driver know Toyoko Inn Busan Station2, we got drove to Toyoko Inn Busan Station1 for few times. However, it is walking distance to NampoDong, which is considered strategic. The hotel come with Breakfast, not many variety but sufficient. Check in time is strictly 4pm, check out time is 10am, this is a bit odd. There is an airport bus station near by hotel, get a copy of the schedule from front desk. Overall is a good stay and value for money.

Convenient Location and Friendly Staff”

The Toyoko Inn Busan Station (2) is about a ten to fifteen minute walk from Busan Station (don't be fooled by the Toyoko Inn Busan Station (1) which is right next to the station! We arrived very late at night - after 1:30AM, and were greeted very warmly by the courteous staff. The room was very comfortable, and met our expectations. The bathroom had a large tub, but felt a bit cramped. The continental breakfast in the morning is alright, but not the most delicious hotel breakfast I've ever had. All-in-all, our one night stay was very enjoyable and comfortable, and I will gladly book the Toyoko Inn again in the future!

Clean, comfortable and will repeat stay.”

The hotel is a about 10-15minutes walk from Busan KTX Station and away from Toyoko Inn Busan Station which is just walking distance from Busan KTX Station. TUpon arriving the hotel, the feeling of the hotel is very Japanese and staff were friendly and attentive to guests. However there might be some guideline from the hotel such as breakfast only serve from 7am to 9.30am and avoid returning to room from 10am to 4pm in the afternoon due to housekeeping. The check in time at 4pm might also be a little later then most hotel and with check out time at 10am. The room is very comfortable and tidy upon entering. Bottles of water are provided on daily basics. If required, there are washing machines and dyer at the hotel lobby and you can wash dirty clothing at no additional charge. During my stay, my electric plug converter / adapter was faulty however the hotel does not have any spares to rent to guests which is a little inconvenience unlike many other hotel, but the hotel does have the service of helping to charge mobile phones at the front desk at no charge which bring convenience. Overall, i will stay in this hotel again given the chance to visit Busan.

Not as close to Busan Stn as I would have though”

Not being as close to Busan Station as I would have thought, this hotel was indeed closer to JungAn Station, which is one subway station away from Busan Station. Nevertheless, it is very close to JungAn Station which is just 1-2 minutes walk from the hotel, where you may walk to Nampo shopping area and Jagalchi Fish Market with ease, either on the street or in underground shopping alley. The staff is nice and friendly. However, the worst part of the hotel was its highly disciplined management, which I suppose is common to all Toyoko Inn hotels. Check out time is set at 10:00 am which is far too early if you wish to enjoy a relaxing day or leaving Busan in the afternoon or evening. Extending the stay is no allowed, which I think is the rule of the hotel chain as I have similar experience with other Toyoko Inn. If you want to have your room cleaned, you have to drop the key at the front desk before 12:00 noon and are not allowed to return to your room until 4:00 pm. To a free traveller, it may be a burden or nuisance.

Cute room.”

i had gotten confused with the hotels at first as there are 2 toyoko-inn in busan. make sure you find out which is the right one. mine is the one further away from the busan station. a little far from subway stations. if you're carrying luggage, would suggest for you to take a taxi as it's a 10mins walk but the ride would only take about 3 mins. room is really small but i really loved it!! it has everything you would require and the room is really comfortable. no pc or wifi in the room though as it is only available in the lobby. i would definitely come back again.

Clean, good location for seeing Busan, cheap”

the title says it all, really: the hotel is clean, it's close to busan station and the main nightlife/food/sightseeing area, nampodong. it's also good value for your money, compared to the other hotels in the area. there is free wifi everywhere. there is another toyoko inn at busan station, so if you're taking a cab make sure there is no confusion.

Nice little hotel”

We stayed 2 nights at this hotel. Note that Toyoko Inn Busan Station is the Inn # 1 and this hotel is Inn# 2. If you arrived via Busan Train Station, exit to the main road and immediately on the left is Inn# 1 and in front is the "Chinatown". On the main road turn or walk toward the left, keep walking for about 10 or so minutes you will come across a petrol station and a flyover, here you walk across the main road to the other side and you have crossed the road keep walking (in the same direction, ie left) for another 5 or so minutes you will arrive at the hotel. Note that check in time is 4pm. Room is very small but overall it is clean (including the bathroom). Breakfast is reasonable. Also note that there is another Metro station around 5 mins further away from the hotel.

Great value for money”

This hotel is great value for money. Good for a sleep and eat and get out. Very basic, no-frills hotel - even has free internet. The rooms are tiny but its not so bad. Large window. Decor is abit outdated, but nothing to complain about. Free daily refills of water. Free cooked breakfast daily. Room key needs to be returned to front desk if you want to have your room made up. There are 2 Toyoko Inns in Busan. This one is 5-10mins walk from the large Train/KR station. There is another one right next to the station.

clean.staff.”

I always love Toyoko inn chain. The only thing abt this hotel is its location. It's about 10 minutes walk to busan station or Jungang station but with luggage and all that its still hard to walk to busan station. Toyoko inn 1 has better location.

Great location at affordable rates”

Great, as this is my second time to choose the same hotel. Except I forgot that check out time is at 10:00am and I had to pay KRW 1,100/hour of excess when I stayed until 12nn. But I won't choose another hotel when I come back to Busan because Toyoko Inn 2 suits my needs and requirements at affordable price.

Comfortable; convenient location”

We rode the ferry from Japan arriving in Busan at 8 AM. The hotel allowed us to drop off our bags for the day so we could go sightseeing, then check in that night. It's a 15-minute walk from the ferry, and about 5 minutes to the subway. This made it an ideal location for us. A dingy Chinatown is nearby, Busan Station is near with about 12 coffee shops, the back streets have plenty of great restaurants. Plus, you can get a map of 6 great walking tours in the BIFF/Busan Tower Area, which is very close to the hotel. Note: This is NOT the Tokoyo Inn directly next to the train station. This is the Toyoko about midway between the ferry/customs pier and the train station. Both Agoda & Toyoko were very vague about that. We had the Double B which is plenty large for 2 people. We've gotten the smaller room in Japan, and it's a tight squeeze. I do NOT recommend small children at the Toyoko chain; this is primarily for businessmen & they would not appreciate crying children on their floor. American kids would not like the breakfast: Kimchi, rice balls & seaweed soup. For me, it was just fine.

Good location but small rooms”

almost same design as toyoko inn in japan, though the room is small, it is very tiday and clean, comfortable to stay and convenient internet connection with via wifi or ethernet cable. the location is near to busan train/bus station which convenient to visit scenic spots and even other nearby cities. you can even walk to the famous nampodong commercial area for shopping.

Excellent”

1. Disappointed is: Resting/waiting area at lobby. The r/w area and the smoking area are separated by only one door, the door is not automatic and is not properly closed. So while you sit in the area waiting for a laundry, as long as the smoker enters and exits the smoking area, the smoke will flow into the r/w area, which is not only a smoker's smoke, but I have encountered 6, 7 smoke guests at the same time smoking together, when the smoke as the door opened into the r/w area, immediately I run away, and had to stand outside the laundry room waiting for empty washing machine .... If the hotel management can make the r/w area away from the smoking area will be more ideal. 2. Hotel facility are perfect: like laundry machines, dryers, water-cooler, microwave, vending machines at the lobby... 3. Overall: Toyoko Inn really show their services in Japanese stranded and spirit, so in the future, not just in Korea also in Japan, I would choose to stay in the Toyoko Inn again, because they gave me a good stay experience, and let me on the journey experience the feeling of comfort at home.

Reasonable place to stay”

I really enjoyed my stay at Toyoko Inn Busan Station2. All I needed was a place to sleep after a long day out and Toyoko met those expectations. Plus it is quite a cheap place to stay as a hotel. Breakfast was ok, though you should be down early to eat, as I was there around 8am and still alot of people were there.
