Located just a 3-minute walk from Busan Subway Line 6 Exit, this hotel offers unbeatable convenience. Right outside the door, you'll find a convenience store, a Starbucks, plenty of restaurants, and even 24-hour dining options—perfect for late-night cravings or early-morning departures. The breakfast is delicious and well worth waking up early for, especially if you're planning to catch a train to Fukuoka, Japan. That said, the hotel gets quite busy, so I’d recommend grabbing breakfast before 7:30 AM. By 8:00 AM, the dining area fills up fast, and service ends at 8:30 AM. Check-out is at 10:00 AM, which is a bit early, but manageable with proper timing. Despite the high occupancy, the location, food quality, and overall value make this a top pick for travelers looking for comfort and practicality in Busan.

Staying at Toyoko Inn Busan Jungang Station felt like coming home—familiar, clean, and thoughtfully designed just like the one I stayed at in Tennoji, Osaka. The room I booked, 1707, was a perfect size for solo travel, with an unbeatable view of the sea right outside the window. Waking up to that sight every morning made the whole trip feel special. The hotel’s layout is smart and efficient, and everything feels well-maintained. One small suggestion: breakfast could use more variety—there were quite a few kimchi options, and while I appreciate the local touch, the strong flavor might not suit everyone. Adding a few more diverse choices (maybe some fresh fruit or Western-style items) would make it even better. Location-wise, this place is unbeatable. Right next to a bus stop, walking left leads you straight to Busan Station and Chinatown, while walking right takes you past Lotte Department Store, Nampo Market, Jagalchi Fish Market, and even the iconic Busan Tower. Getting here via subway is super easy—whether you exit from Busan Station’s Gate 1 or Jungang Station’s Gate 17, both are convenient. Personally, I found Jungang Station Gate 17 closer and more direct. From the airport, taking the light rail to Line 2, then switching to Line 1, costs the same whether you go to Busan or Jungang Station—so no extra expense. With its great value, excellent location, and consistent quality, I can’t imagine staying anywhere else on my next visit to Busan. This is now my top pick.

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 Last Hotel Nampo is an absolute gem! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to Haeundae Beach and Busan Station, making it super convenient for exploring the city. I was truly impressed by the excellent soundproofing; we couldn’t hear any noise from neighboring rooms at all, which made for a peaceful and restful stay. Daily housekeeping and fresh water delivery added to the comfort and convenience. Every little detail was thoughtfully provided—from toiletries and hand cream to toothbrushes, toothpaste, kettle, tea, coffee, and even a hairdryer. The room stayed quiet even with the window open, which speaks volumes about the quality of the insulation. One standout feature? You can heat up your food on the ground floor—perfect for late-night snacks or early-morning meals. Overall, this hotel delivers exceptional value with a prime location and top-notch service. Highly recommended!

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.

This budget-friendly motel in Busan offers incredible value for money. I stayed in a single room with a queen-size bed—perfectly comfortable for two people—and paid just 40,000 KRW, which is an unbeatable deal. The hotel is located right on Nampo-Dong’s lively Bill Street, so you’re steps away from great dining, local shops, and vibrant nightlife. Public transportation is super convenient, making it easy to explore nearby attractions like Haeundae Beach or Gwanchon Cultural Village. While breakfast isn’t included, the room comes with three bottles of water and all the essentials: air conditioning, electric blanket, fan, and kettle. Everything was clean, functional, and well-maintained. Staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere was quiet and welcoming. If you're looking for a no-frills, well-located, affordable stay in Busan, this place is a solid choice.

This hostel is perfectly located right in the heart of Busan, just steps away from Jagalchi Market—great for food lovers and local vibes. The nearest subway station is only a 200-meter walk, and it’s just three stops to Busan Station, making travel around the city super convenient. I loved that they offer free luggage storage after check-out, so no need to lug bags around all day. They also serve free coffee, which was a nice touch first thing in the morning. The place is clean, cozy, and staff are super friendly. Everything about this stay felt thoughtful and well-organized. I truly had a great time and will definitely come back if I ever visit Busan again.

The hotel was clean and well-maintained, with a cozy atmosphere that made the stay truly enjoyable. The location is convenient—just a short walk from the subway station, making it easy to explore popular spots like Haeundae Beach and Nampho-dong. There are plenty of local eateries and convenience stores nearby, which added to the overall comfort. I was especially impressed by how good the value was for the quality. Highly recommend this place if you're visiting Busan—it's definitely a great choice.

Staying at the Busan Yeonsan-Dong W was an absolute delight. The hotel is incredibly close to the subway station entrance—just a quick walk and you're on your way, which made getting around so convenient, especially for solo travelers like me. The room size is perfect for one person: compact but well-designed with all the essentials. The bed was super comfortable, and the overall atmosphere felt peaceful and modern. I was impressed by how much value you get for the price—this place truly delivers on comfort and convenience. A 10/10 experience that I’d definitely recommend and return to.

This boutique hotel truly exceeded my expectations.

The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful, which made for a relaxing stay. The room was spotless, well-maintained, and had a cozy, modern feel with thoughtful touches like complimentary snacks and a nice welcome note.

I stayed at G7 Hotel for three days during my solo trip to Busan, and honestly, it was one of the best decisions I made. The location couldn’t be better—everything I wanted to explore was just a short walk away, and public transit was super accessible. But what really stood out? The rooms. They’re huge—seriously spacious for the price—and come with a full-sized bathtub. It’s rare to find that kind of comfort at this budget level. The only small downside was a few dusty spots on the walls, but daily housekeeping took care of everything: fresh towels, clean linens, and new bathrobes every day. For three nights, the total cost was less than one night at a major chain hotel—huge savings! I saw some comments about staff not speaking fluent English, but let’s be real—this is South Korea, so Korean is the default language. That said, the team was warm, welcoming, and more than helpful despite the language gap. I got my room key without any hassle and even received extra assistance when needed. If you’re looking for a luxury-level experience with constant English support, go for a branded international chain. But if you want a smart deal, a generous-sized room with a proper bathtub, a central spot, and no wallet pain—this is your perfect pick.
