This was my first stay at this place, and I’ve been thinking hard before writing this review. The hotel is located just a 5-6 minute walk from Lotte Department Store in Seomyeon, and it’s super easy to spot from the street—especially at night. The rooftop café is dazzling with its vintage, glamorous lighting, making it really stand out. But when I arrived late at night, I couldn’t find the entrance at all—it was completely dark, and I circled around the building twice before figuring it out. By the time I made it upstairs, I’d already missed the check-in deadline by ten minutes. The café was completely empty, no staff around, and I was stuck wondering what to do. Then I noticed a clear plastic pouch hanging on the door handle right across from the elevator. Inside was my name and room key. I tried swiping it—and voilà, the door opened! It felt like a little surprise welcome. Check-out was equally hassle-free: I left the key in the room at 11 a.m. and walked away without any formalities. That was perfect for me, especially since I’m not great with language barriers. I wanted to grab breakfast or lunch at the café, but the barista said they only serve drinks—no food. So I had to leave disappointed. The elevator also took forever, and every floor we passed revealed something unexpected: the hotel shares an elevator with a local community hospital. Every time the doors opened, I saw patients lying on beds—something that honestly made me uneasy as someone who’s paranoid about health and even bought an 8-million-KRW travel insurance policy. The room itself was average, nothing special—but at least they provided a toothbrush, which I appreciated. Overall, I’d say this feels more like a boutique-style apartment managed by the café rather than a traditional hotel. If you’re staying here just to experience the café vibe, be prepared: you won’t get to enjoy food there. A bit of a letdown, but still, the unique entry experience and low-key service were refreshing.

Staying at Central Seven Hotel by Kwon in Busan was a fantastic experience overall. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short walk from Budaek Station on Line 1, either exiting through Exit 1 and crossing the street or coming up from Exit 9 of Budaek Underground Shopping Mall. The front desk is located on the 17th floor, and while only the 1st and 17th floors don’t require access cards, all other floors are secured with card entry, which adds a nice layer of safety. Staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with any request. On-site, you’ll find a GS25 convenience store and a Starbucks, plus the lively Budaek Market just steps away. It’s also close to Seomyeon, making dining and shopping super easy. Housekeeping came daily, and everything was spotless—the bathroom had a great hairdryer, and they even provided shampoo and body wash, so no need to pack extras. My only personal note: the room has carpeted flooring, which I’m not a fan of, but that’s just a matter of preference. Otherwise, the space felt spacious, well-lit, and included a full-length mirror—a nice touch for travelers. Overall, this is a top-tier choice for a comfortable, safe, and well-located stay in Busan.

Located right in the heart of Busan, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience—just a short walk from subway stations, shopping malls, and local eateries. I was truly impressed by the clean, well-maintained rooms and the friendly, attentive staff. The amenities were thoughtfully provided, and the overall experience felt premium without the premium price. It’s rare to find such a great value stay in a central location. Would absolutely book again if I ever return to Busan.

I stayed at Busan Seomyeon Thema and was pleasantly surprised by how good the experience was for a budget-friendly hotel. Located in the heart of Seomyeon, it's super convenient for exploring nearby attractions like Nampo-dong and the vibrant city center. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—welcoming me with a smile, offering assistance with luggage, and checking in on my needs throughout my stay. I didn’t expect much from a low-cost hotel in Busan, but the room was clean, compact, and well-maintained, with reliable Wi-Fi and effective air conditioning. It’s perfect for travelers looking to save money without compromising on comfort or service. Definitely a great value option—I’d stay here again if I return to Busan.

I booked this place because it's conveniently located near Lotte, and the photos looked decent—plus, it seemed like a good deal. But when I arrived, I was surprised to find that parking wasn't included, even though it was a regular weekday. To make matters worse, they charged an extra 10,000 KRW for parking—something I’ve never seen at a motel before. I only stayed a few hours and left early, but due to a dust mite allergy, I woke up with constant runny nose. Ended up rushing to a pharmacy just to get medicine. In the end, trying to save a little money backfired—ended up spending more and feeling awful. Lesson learned: always read reviews carefully. Still, I guess it’s mostly my fault for not double-checking.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Busan Seomyeon was a great experience overall. The location is quite convenient, especially for getting to the airport quickly and efficiently—perfect for early morning flights or late-night departures. One thing to note: there’s no elevator at Exit 8, so it’s better to use Exit 10 when leaving the station. Breakfast was surprisingly diverse compared to the Haeundae branch—plenty of hot dishes, fresh bread, and beverage options, making it a satisfying start to the day. The area around the hotel is lively and well-connected: there are good BBQ spots, convenience stores, and even a popular ox intestine restaurant nearby. I loved strolling around after dinner and soaking in the local vibe. Rooms were clean, quiet, and well-maintained, with thoughtful touches like a small welcome gift. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout. If you’re looking for a reliable, comfortable stay in Busan with excellent access and local flavor, this is definitely a top pick.

The stay was absolutely delightful and exceeded my expectations. The location is incredibly convenient—just a short subway ride to downtown, with plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. What made it even better was the late check-out time, which gave me extra flexibility to relax or grab some last-minute souvenirs without rushing. The room was spotless, cozy, and the bed was super comfortable—perfect for a good night’s sleep. With such great value and a welcoming atmosphere, I’d definitely book here again on my next trip to Busan. Highly recommended!

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The location is fantastic—right in the heart of Seomyeon, making it super convenient to explore the city on foot.

Staying at Hotel Kyungsung was an absolute delight! The location is unbeatable—just a 5-minute walk to Lotte Department Store, making shopping and dining super convenient. There are countless restaurants and small shops all around, so you never have to go far for a bite. Plus, the subway station is just a short stroll away, giving easy access to other parts of Busan.

Located in a great neighborhood with easy access to the subway, this motel is just steps away from a local market and close to Busan’s lively nightlife district. While the property is a bit dated, it’s well-maintained and clean throughout. The staff goes above and beyond with friendly, attentive service—always ready to help with any request. It’s not flashy, but for the price and convenience, it’s an excellent choice. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in Busan.

This was my second stay at Browndot Business Seomyeon, and I’m even more impressed this time around. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the subway, with two great dining options right downstairs: a cozy izakaya and a fresh seafood spot, plus a popular whiskey bar that’s always buzzing. The room itself is spacious and immaculately clean, with fast check-in and a standout bathroom that feels like a mini retreat—huge space, full-length mirror, and complimentary slippers. The heated floor made it so cozy during winter, I actually opened the window to cool down! Staff are polite, helpful, and went out of their way to assist with an Uber request. Everything about this place screams value for money. I’ll definitely be back—this is one of the best stays I’ve had in Busan.

I was really frustrated during my check-in experience at Busan Seomyeon Sangkeum. The location marker on the app was completely off, and I ended up walking around for ages trying to find the hotel—exhausting and very time-consuming. To make things worse, the name displayed in the app didn’t match the actual hotel name, which caused a lot of confusion when trying to locate the entrance. This kind of inconsistency is really inconvenient for travelers, especially when relying on digital tools for navigation. Hope the management can update their listings and map accuracy soon to avoid similar issues for future guests.
