4.3-Rated Hotels Near Sungdong Elementary School
Seongdong Elementary School in Busan has become an unexpected Instagram hotspot with its charming red-brick facade and vintage arches. This retro-style school building perfectly captures old Korea vibes, especially when local students in classic uniforms flood out during dismissal. Don't miss the nearby cafes serving school-themed desserts - their "chalkboard cake" is as photogenic as the historic campus itself. A delightful pitstop for those seeking authentic Korean neighborhood atmosphere.

The food was excellent, especially the breakfast spread with local flavors and fresh ingredients. But what truly stood out was the location: waking up to panoramic views of the glittering Gwangbok Bridge lit up in vibrant colors was unforgettable. Whether sipping a drink on the balcony or just relaxing in the room, the view alone made the experience magical. It’s also super convenient for exploring Busan, with public transit right nearby. A perfect blend of comfort, service, and scenery—highly recommend for anyone visiting the city.

The room at Haeundae Centum Hotel was surprisingly spacious—perfect for unpacking two large suitcases without any hassle. The layout felt thoughtfully designed, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, making for a restful night’s sleep. Located just steps from the subway station, it’s super convenient to get to Haeundae Beach and the surrounding area. The overall experience was outstanding, and with such great value, I’d definitely book again. A fantastic stay from start to finish.
Hotel Foret Premier Nampo
The room was exceptionally clean and well-maintained, with a smart layout that separated the shower area from the toilet—so practical and convenient. The front desk staff were very helpful and spoke Japanese, which made communication easy and stress-free. There’s a convenience store right on the ground floor, perfect for grabbing snacks or essentials late at night. Location-wise, this hotel is unbeatable—Chayu Market, Gukje Market, Canton Market, Busan Tower, and BIFF Square are all within a 10-minute walk. You can explore everything on foot without needing to rely on taxis. It’s an ideal base for both sightseeing and experiencing local life. Highly recommended for travelers who value cleanliness, convenience, and great location.
GriffinBay Hotel
Staying at GriffinBay Hotel was a delightful experience from start to finish. The location is fantastic—just a short walk from the beach, with a serene coastal vibe that makes you feel relaxed the moment you arrive. The room itself is well-designed and clean, though I did notice the shower area lacks a curtain, which is a minor detail but something worth mentioning. That said, everything else in the room works perfectly and feels modern and thoughtfully put together. Cleanliness-wise, since my stay was brief, I didn’t see the housekeeping team in action, but each time I returned to the room, fresh towels were neatly hung on the door handle—such a nice touch! The staff went above and beyond: super friendly, helpful, and even offered luggage storage when I arrived early. This made my trip so much smoother, especially when I wanted to explore the area without carrying bags around. Overall, the hospitality, atmosphere, and attention to small details make this hotel stand out. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Busan who wants a quiet, comfortable retreat near the sea.

Staying at YTT Hotel near Exit 7 of Seomyeon Station was incredibly convenient—just a short walk from the subway, which made exploring Busan so easy. The mattress was on the firm side, which might not suit everyone, but I actually found it comfortable and helped me sleep well. One big plus? The TV supports OTT platforms like Netflix, Disney+, and YouTube—since we already had subscriptions, we could stream our favorite shows right away without any hassle. It’s a small detail, but it really added to the overall experience. For the location, comfort, and tech features, this hotel earns every point—it’s a top choice for travelers who want value and convenience in a modern setting.

South vandeco hotel Busan
My stay at South Vendeco Hotel was truly enjoyable. The room had excellent sound insulation, which made for a peaceful night's sleep—no noise from neighboring rooms at all. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and even helped me order fried chicken delivery, which was such a thoughtful touch. While the hotel is a bit of a walk from the main shopping areas, it’s only about a 15-minute subway ride away, making it convenient if you're okay with a little travel time. For travelers looking for a quiet, comfortable retreat with great service, this place is a perfect choice. I’d definitely book here again on my next trip to Busan.
Busan Metropolitan City Corporation's Arpina
The hotel isn’t brand new, but it’s incredibly well-maintained and spotlessly clean—definitely meeting five-star standards. I was pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful touches, like the small step stool for kids, which made things much easier during our stay. The floors were cleaned thoroughly with no lingering chemical or unpleasant odors—just a fresh, clean scent. Every detail shows care and attention to hygiene. Despite its age, the property feels modern and comfortable. Great value, excellent cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to fellow travelers.
Urbanstay Boutique Nampo BIFF
This boutique hotel is absolutely fantastic! Check-in was seamless through online booking, and the access code was sent directly to my email—very convenient. The location is perfect: just steps from a subway station and bus stops, making it easy to explore everywhere. Right outside the door is BIFF Street, with a bustling fish market and tons of shops for shopping and dining. There's even a currency exchange nearby, so no need to go far. While Haeundae Beach is a bit of a ride away (I took a bus), Songdo Beach is just a short trip—perfect for a day at the sand. Inside the room, it’s incredibly quiet—no noise from neighboring units at all. The air conditioning and ventilation work flawlessly, keeping the space cool and fresh. I especially appreciated having a washing machine and detergent in the room—ideal for longer stays. Hot water is available 24/7, which is a huge plus. Everything about this stay was excellent—from comfort to convenience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone visiting Busan!
Toyoko Inn Busan Seomyeon
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.
Hotel Marcher
Staying at Hotel Marcher was such a delightful surprise! The room was significantly larger than any I've stayed in Seoul, offering plenty of space and a really comfortable feel. Located in a vibrant neighborhood with countless dining options—from local street food to popular restaurants—the area has great energy without being noisy. What truly stood out was the front desk staff: the lady was incredibly skilled with her translation app (I wish I remembered the name!), making communication seamless. As we were checking out, she kindly asked if we needed a ride and quickly arranged a taxi for us—so thoughtful and efficient! Both the staff members greeted us with warm smiles every day, radiating genuine hospitality. Their kindness made me feel welcome and truly connected to the spirit of Busan. This place isn’t just a hotel—it’s a memorable experience that I’d absolutely return to.
