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.

Highly recommend Brown Dot Hotel! We stayed with three people, and the average cost per person was only 551 KRW—absolutely unbeatable value. The location is fantastic: just a short walk from Sajik Baseball Stadium, with easy access to public transit and tons of local eateries nearby. The neighborhood buzzes with energy, especially in the evenings. Our room was clean, well-maintained, and surprisingly quiet—great for a good night’s sleep. The staff were friendly and helpful, even offering to carry our bags upon arrival. It’s perfect for sports fans, travelers on a budget, or anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient base in Busan. I’ll definitely be back!

Staying at this hotel was a great experience overall. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the subway, making it super convenient for exploring the city, shopping, and dining. It’s especially ideal for night owls who want to unwind after a long day of sightseeing or late-night adventures. If I ever return to Busan, this would be my top choice again. The only downside is the soundproofing—it wasn’t very effective. On my last night, neighbors were still loud well into the early hours. Also, the housekeeping staff arrived early and pushed their cart right outside the door, which made quite a bit of noise and woke me up. Despite that, the room was clean, the staff friendly, and the area incredibly vibrant. For the price and convenience, this place offers excellent value and is definitely worth considering.

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. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—always smiling and ready to assist with anything. One of the highlights? Free coffee on the rooftop terrace! It’s the perfect spot to unwind with a view of the city. This hotel truly delivers on comfort, service, and convenience. Highly recommend it for any traveler visiting Busan.

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.

First time visiting Busan, and I highly recommend this hotel! It’s incredibly convenient—just a 3-5 minute walk to the tour pickup point, perfect for day trips. You won’t waste time rushing around. The room comes with a microwave and fridge, so I could prep breakfast the night before and just heat it up in the morning—super practical. Right downstairs is a 24-hour Emart24, and they even have Wowpass, which made grabbing snacks or essentials super easy. The only thing I didn’t use was the washing machine—didn’t bring laundry detergent, and it wasn’t mentioned in the instructions, so I assume you’d need to bring your own. Still, that’s a tiny detail in an otherwise excellent stay. Great location, smart amenities, and fantastic value. Definitely coming back!

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.

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.

Staying at mogua hotel in Busan was an absolute delight! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach and surrounded by great restaurants, shops, and local vibes. I loved how easy it was to explore the city on foot. The room was clean, cozy, and well-appointed, with a comfortable bed that made for a restful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. It's rare to find such a great balance between comfort, convenience, and value—all in a stylish, modern setting. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Busan!

Staying at Karat Hotel in Busan was an absolute delight. The owner couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly—genuine hospitality from start to finish. The bed was incredibly comfortable, soft yet supportive, making for a restful night’s sleep. Every corner of the room was spotlessly clean, and the bathroom was spacious and well-maintained—definitely not your average motel standard. It felt more like a modern office-style apartment with a premium touch. The bright, airy interior gave it a fresh, upscale vibe that truly lived up to its name as a hotel. Everything was thoughtfully designed, from the layout to the attention to detail. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-located stay in Busan, this is a top recommendation. I’ll definitely be back.

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.
