Popular Busan 4-star Hotels

My 80 yo father and I had a good stay at the Ramada. The proximity to Busan train station was a plus, as was the Starbucks and Dunkin Doughnuts on either side of the hotel entrance. The cost of the rooms is quite nominal which is evident in the cheap grade of cotton towels they provide. They do not have wash clothes or provide bathroom amenities, but they have a vending machine in lobby to purchase said items. They also have coin laundry, which we used with no problem. The room was clean with the exception of the blinds that close off the bathroom from the bedroom, it was dusty. The bathroom was tiny but satisfactory. The hotel has a great rooftop view with a pool. Chinatown is right across the street but we did not explore it due to the long hours of tours we were doing. Not a bad stay for the cost.

Reception staff were super kind and helpful. Was able to help us with weighing our bags and arranging taxis. Excellent room cleaning each day 👌 with complimentary bottled water. Solid wifi too and sound proofed well, didn’t hear anyone else the whole 5 days I stayed. Location wise, a bus stop is right outside and short walk to subway, making Gamcheon village, Jalgachi market, Busan tower, Nampo, all super accessible. Airport only 30 minutes away via taxi for around 20,000 won. Cafe and convenience store on the first floor and amazing bbq chicken and beer on 2nd. Also some good cafes and restaurants walking distance near by. Would I stay here again? Yes if wanting to stay in the area. If I want to focus on Haeundae more I would perhaps choose somewhere closer to there. I think for first time visit, you can go wrong!

Location - near to Busan station (10 minutes taxi ride or 20 minutes bus ride + a little walking). It's also near to Gamcheon Culture Village (30 minutes bus ride). Lotte Department Store is walking distance of 10 minutes or a bus ride of 5 minutes. Evening time, you can see stalls laid up selling cooked seafood - many locals will eat and drink there (we didn't try as we were too full). Just next to the hotel, there's a Emart convenience shop but if you walk about 50m down the street, there is S25 convenient shop which I find the things are much cheaper. If you wish to grab a coffee, there is a ”Blue Shak” cozy cafe within 50m. This area is less touristy. Service - The receptionists can speak English but I felt they could be more friendlier. We unforeseen our small sized luggage to be spoilt and requested to be thrown away at check out but was told that they do not have a disposal bin. I understand South Korea has a strict disposal system but given such a big property, they could at least help because we travellers can't just dispose things anywhere. The receptionist reluctantly helped after I insisted. The Housekeeping was excellent, clean room throughout stay. Room - Good size. I booked a triple room (Ondol - floor bedding) but was given 3 real beds instead. I did not pursue further as I checked in late (11pm+) and it was 2 nights. The bed was too soft for me. View of the room was partial ocean and port. Overall, a good stay but I will not return to this hotel. I am a hotelier but I do not expect sky high services because service line can be hard at times. The receptionists at both check in and check out didn't gave me a warm feeling - didn't felt as welcome like a traveller.

This is a decent hotel with a nice view. The room was fairly clean, and the bed was comfortable. The staff was alright. The location is perfect. You are a few minutes walk from the beach and there is a walking street with tons of snacks and souvenirs a minute away.

Everything was perfect. Pillow was really fluffy and not flat. The bed and blanket is really comfy. Toilet was clean. Everything seems really new. It was just at the start of the busy haeundae tourist area and walking distance to everywhere. Will definitely book this place again when I’m here in Busan again.

The Commodore Hotel Busan is an excellent option for those looking to get to know this region of Busan, which is famous for its various tourist attractions such as the Busan Tower. The hotel's infrastructure is great and the environment decorated like a Buddhist temple is an attraction in itself. The rooms we stayed in were very comfortable, Good beds and impeccable cleaning service. The hotel has an indoor warm pool, a small gym but the best attraction in my opinion is the diverse and abundant buffet breakfast. Free parking. It is worth checking.

The room was good. There is a laundromat in the hotel. Location also good. The nearest subway station is just within minutes of walking distance. There are lots of eating places and convenient shops. If you love coffee you will be in heaven. There are literally countless cafes in the area. Night light is great too. Some parts of the area comes alive in the evening.

Pros:  Great location - right in the midst of things - next to BIFF square, across the street from Jagalchi Market, a few blocks from stairway up to Busan Tower.  Easy transportation - between Nampo and Jagalchi subway stations, buses in front, also taxi stand right outside the door.  Cons:  Rooms were dark and small with very low ceilings, elevators a tight fit.  Carpets were dirty and not vacuumed the 3 days we were there. The bidet on the toilet kept making noises so we just turned it off. The safe did not work and no one came to fix it.

Nice hotel although room is a little small even for one. They don’t have housekeeping every day but this wasn’t a dealbreaker. Staff was friendly and helpful. Had an onsen onsite though guests need to pay. Never tried it so can’t comment

The hotel itself is beautiful and our room was very comfortable. Location is okay if you’re looking to be right next to the beach, but Busan is quite spread out so you’re still a bit far from big attractions like Yonggeung Temple or Gamcheon Culture Village. HOWEVER, I would never stay here again simply because of the elevator. I think that there are too many people and too few elevators, so you have to wait easily 10 minutes to get anywhere. During checkout, you’d have to wait half an hour or even more. Everyone is frustrated and impatient, but the building is so tall that many guests can’t even consider climbing stairs to get to or from their rooms. Especially since many people visit Busan for only a few days, it actually really feels like you’re losing time simply waiting for an elevator. Surely this is a safety violation? I never thought I could care about an elevator so much, and I know it sounds silly and spoiled at first, but it really was a massive inconvenience and you could tell everyone was upset by it 😂
