Hotels Near Igidae Hangout in Busan

This will be my second stay. Open the curtain and go to the veranda ... From the front, you can see the sea and beach of Haeundae, the high-rise buildings along the coast 🏙️, and the bridge of Guangan-ri 🌉 in the back at once. I woke up every morning and was impressed that the sea was waiting for me like this, and I can see that I was healed by the beautiful seaside and the sea breeze😃🫶✨Thank you very much♪

Very good room and location. Not too far from Busan station and port, so it’s very convenient when traveling. The only downside is that the kettle wasn’t working, but they quickly replaced which was good. I will come back when I’m in Busan again.

The location is great. Just 1 min walk from Exit12 and so near to most tour pick up. The bed was terrible. Under a layer of bedsheets is the full plastic cover, so uncomfortable and noisy. We didn't have much good sleep in the last 5 nights. Caught 2 bugs not sure what that is, but very shocked as the room looks clean and new. The contactless service was only good if you just access it with standard requests. Any other questions were not really answered or resolved. We want to book the cleaning service, but we're out for a tour during their office hour. I can't request it while out, it's so inconvenient. There is a washer and no dryer function, the laundry has to hang out to dry for a day or two. Overall, we will not come back to this hotel at all in the future.

My family and I stayed at the hotel from 26 Dec to 28 Dec 2023 and upon checkout, the staff insisted that they had issues reversing my 200 000 krw deposit because I didn't use the same card. This is strange and confusing because I only used one credit card the whole time in Korea. I also used the same card to pay for the hotel booking upon check in. We stayed in other Lotte Hotels in Korea and compared to those hotels, our experience at Lotte Hotel Busan was not the best. During check-in, i had several questions for the staff assisting us but she told us curtly that she will explain this later. Perhaps it was a language issue but definitely rubbed me the wrong way. During our time using the pool, different lifeguards asked me on two separate occasions if my family had registered to use the pool -- we paid for the pool usage and received wristbands. They also hovered around my family quite a bit - prolly cos my husband's arm tattoo was showing under his shirt and my kids are rather loud (they are 3 and 6 fyi). We were also told by the staff to keep our 3 year old quiet. We understand that compared to perhaps other Korean children, our child can be quite loud. We tried our best to keep him quiet but he is just 3 and simply excited to be there and it was not so nice to feel like we were being watched all the time for our child.

Hotel room is super clean and spacious - we were pleasantly surprised. It’s a quick 5-min walk from Busan station, which was very convenient. Staff was nice and helpful. They are promoting green travelling so they don’t provide one-time use amenities such as toothbrush and slippers for free, but there’s a vending machine at lobby should anyone needs them.

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!

Nice room and super clean. The location is ok but a bit far from the city centre. Anyhow, area surrounding is nice to walk and see. We were very impressed how cleanliness the room was 10/10 on cleanliness and recommended!

The location was very ideal as it’s close to the main shopping area and street food. Many choices of restaurants too. The rooms were big with good air conditioning which was welcomed when we felt the heat during the day.

The hotel should be newly opened, and all facilities are new and smart. It is very close to Jagalchi subway station, and the downstairs is also very lively and has a lot of food. It can be a bit noisy at night, but with the windows closed you can barely hear the noise. The family room type perfectly solves the problem of my dad snoring while sleeping. But because of this, the smell of some furniture still lingered in the corridor and room of the room I stayed in. People who have recently stayed and are sensitive to smells need to be careful! However, the hotel's service staff are very considerate and have been actively handling any problems. Coordination, thank you very much.

Trip & Urbanstay Busan Songdo Beach's system was not connected well, resulting in check-in taking 30-40 minutes. Since Urbanstay is self-check-in, there is no front desk. In the past, I have booked Urbanstay hotels on other hotel platforms many times, and I always received the booking information and check-in guide via email or KakaoTalk However, ONLY I booked Urbanstay with Trip this time, and it was tough to check-in. This Urbanstay Busan Songdo Beach is newly open and the service attitude is nasty. When I asked what the reason was, we did not receive any check-in information, and the service staff would not explain. The booking needs to be re-created on the hotel system, no trip booking on the system, and the receptionist had no sense of service at all. The whole process takes 30-40 minutes for me to communicate in Korean, which is even more difficult for foreigners to communicate and solve. -- And hotel equipment: The bed is small, One room with an ocean view is their definition of a king bed When the system is not connected to the hotel. What a bad system accident and no sense of service by the hotel staff.
