Scenic Hotels in Busan

"Staying at 'Mugeum Gwangalli' during my Busan trip was truly the best decision ever! LOL. I didn't expect much since it was a dormitory, but I was relieved throughout my stay because it was much cleaner and more pleasant than I anticipated. Most importantly, the location is amazing. It's close to the subway station, and as soon as you step out of the alley, you're right at Gwangalli Beach, making getting around super convenient. The strict separation of male and female dorms allowed me to relax comfortably, and the independent single-person cabin structure meant I could sleep cozily without feeling self-conscious. The view was also so beautiful that I enjoyed a relaxing time watching the night scenery. If I had known the value for money was this good, I would have come sooner. Thanks to this, I'm romantically wrapping up the beauty of Busan at Mugeum. I will definitely revisit if I come to Busan again!"

"We love the location, it is close to Haeundae Subway Station where the day tour meeting point is, and also a short walk to the beach and Haeundae market. The Blueline Park Mipo Station is about 25min walk along the beach. We booked this accommodation for the washing machine in the room. There is no service provided so to speak as we checked in on our own with the door passcode and there was no one at the reception throughout our entire stay. One thing to improve on is to provide more hangers and laundry rack at the balcony as we have trouble finding places to hang dry the washed clothes."

"Everything about this hotel was great, with the sole exception of the room size. Truly, it was all positives! Being a Japanese chain hotel, I expected the rooms to be small, but it was perfectly adequate for two people and didn't hinder our activities at all. The location is absolutely fantastic, incredibly close to the train station – literally just across the street. You can even see the train station from the hotel, and the tracks from our room. The staff were all wonderful. The front desk attendant was enthusiastic and attentive. The ladies in the second-floor breakfast restaurant were constantly greeting guests and thanking them. When we discovered the kettle in our room was broken, we called the front desk, and they immediately apologized. A staff member then promptly knocked on our door to deliver a brand-new, still-boxed kettle, again apologizing for the inconvenience. We were so grateful! There's also a self-service laundry machine on the first floor. When we first struggled to use it, a staff member came right over to show us how. This washing machine was amazing – shirts came out completely dry, perfectly spun, and incredibly crisp, without a single wrinkle. They looked as good as new, as if they'd just been ironed. This machine is truly magical. The breakfast on the second floor was also excellent. Even though it was busy every day, there were always empty seats, and the food variety changed daily, including some Korean specialties. We left breakfast feeling very full and satisfied. The location is convenient for getting anywhere; we could reach Nampo and Seomyeon by subway in no time. We had a perfect two days here and slept very comfortably. We messed up the room as soon as we checked in, so I didn't take any photos. All in all, this hotel is flawless, with no downsides except for the slightly small room."

"The hotel was exceptionally clean, and the breakfast offered a great variety of delicious options that put my husband and me in a good mood first thing in the morning. In the evenings, there were many grilled fish stalls right outside the hotel on the street, offering fair prices and attracting a lot of locals. This was by far the most satisfying hotel experience my husband and I have had on a trip. We were so happy! We'll definitely be back."

"The view is amazing. It’s abit of walk but it’s worth it. Many restaurants nearby and convenience stall is just downstairs, which is great. Bathroom looks nice but the design & functionality is weird (but it’s acceptable). Overall it’s a green light for me!"

"Check in is very efficient without needing to register at front desk. All info was given a day before the arrival. Location is perfect just outside Jagalchi station walking distance to BIFF night market street. Room is equipped with plates, bowls and cutlery make it easy if you packed food back and ate in the room. We were lucky the room is facing the sea with a magnificent view."

"The location was very convenient. Hotel room overlooking Haeundae beach and plenty of shops, convenient store and restaurants just right below the hotel. The room is spacious and the bath tub was huge. We had 2 toilets which was a plus point for 4 girls. This speeds up our time taken to get ready in the morning. Unfortunately, one of the toilet’s draining isn’t working. Even though they came to try to fix it, the drainage was very slow and floods the toilet"

"Facilities: The air conditioning in the room was problematic. It worked fine on the first night, but started turning itself off automatically on the second night. Hotel staff came and told us to use the remote control instead of the panel, which temporarily fixed the issue. However, on the third day, the remote control also started restarting infinitely. Luckily, it wasn't too hot those days, so we didn't really need the AC. Hygiene: The room was cleaned daily, but the bed wasn't re-made. Environment: The hotel's location is excellent, right above Haeundae Market. Everything you need is downstairs, and the beach is just a two-minute walk away. It's about a 7-8 minute walk from Haeundae subway station Exit 3. Walking to the Mipo Station for the Haeundae Blue Line Park Capsule Train takes about 20 minutes along the beach, which doesn't feel too far at all. Service: The front desk has a scale for weighing luggage before you leave, and there's also a microwave if you need to heat up food."

"I really like this hotel.  The staff on the 12th floor was absolutely amazing. One thing to note about this particular hotel is that holidays have very strict rules in that there are no special requests. One thing I did not like is the fact that they wanted to take down a credit card number when I checked in even though I’m using trip.com. I understand that there are not special requests and checkout times are not very flexible during holidays, though I do feel the fact that I could not use the swimming pool on the day of checkout after my checkout time of 11 AM was unreasonable. Because I had a late flight going back to Shanghai, I felt it would’ve been more appropriate to allow me to use the pool after I checked out so I could utilize my time at the hotel a little bit better. There is an alternative terrace for people who smoke cigarettes.  there are some room rooms which allow pets, and I think my room was treated well considering that. The air conditioner goes directly onto the bed, so maybe I had to get up a couple of times to turn it off or on. The room was very clean and comfortable. Although there was not a luggage rack, I was able to make it work in terms of the seating area in the room. The view from the hotel room was really nice because you could see the train station. The walking distance to the bus stop was good. I don’t understand those little call-girl cards at the entrance, but I think that’s just part of Busan.  The hotel had nearby bus service and the train station was only 350 m away next to the bus stop.  The view from the pool was beautiful even though there’s a lot of buildings in the process of development.  the buildings under construction had their lights on at night so it made everything really pretty and photogenic. The food was delicious, though I do think it was a little bit overpriced. I do appreciate the free perfume and feel the breakfast was tastey as well.  I would actually stay there again because of the price and hope that they can expand their luggage storage area so the lobby looks a little bit more inviting."

"First time to stay in Busan Connect Ocean Hotel, I must say it exceeded my expectation & worth it! LOCATION: very accessible as in walking distance to major tourist areas such as as Yongdusan Park, Busan Tower, BIFF, Lotte Mall/Mart, Night Street Market, Jalagchi Market & more. Plus in front are the Bus Stations & Nampo station 2 exits from Busan Station. A lot of convenient stores nearby too. ACCOMMODATION: Love the hotel room layout, well planned, bed very comfortable, complete toiletries except for toothbrush & toothpaste they have a a machine you can buy, everyday they changed towels & fixed bedding, take trash too. STAFFS.: All staffs speaks English very well & very helpful too. VALUE FOR MONEY: Definitely worth it! Affordable & I feel very safe. ROOM VIEW: Has magnefiicient view of the harbour/ocean plus the bridge that looks like San Francisco USA. Plus the sunrise view every morning is awesome. I would like to thank Connect Ocean View Hotel for taking care of me during my entire 6 days stay. Also, for upgrading my room to Harbour View, always book either the Harbour View coz it makes you feel relax seeing the water & great views & lights. I’ll definitely come back in this hotel & highly recommended Again, thank you & I LOVE BUSAN!."
