Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, but the ancient heating system needs improvement. The service was a bit of a hit or miss with both unwelcoming and helpful staff. The location was great for exploring Busan on foot, but reaching the beach was quite a trek. The dining options were acceptable, but the refills were slow. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
The hotel was a knockout with clean and comfortable rooms featuring new double glazed windows and built-in closets, yet the ancient heating system remains a work in progress. While the tobacco smell was a downside, the overall stay was very comfortable and pleasant.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms had new double glazed windows and built-in closets, but the ancient heating system was a work in progress. Booking through Rakuten was budget-friendly and provided the essentials like a bed, shower, and kettle for a quick meal. The service was helpful overall, but some staff members need proper training. The location was convenient for exploring shopping areas and markets, although a bit far from the beach and some attractions. The dining options were mainly Asian, with limited choices and slow refills. The facilities offered average amenities but had some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though a bit old and smelling of cigarette smoke even in a non-smoking room, were equipped with convenient amenities like goodies for purchase, a table and chairs, air conditioning, a queen bed, and an internet connection cord. I booked the room through the Japanese website Rakuten. The service provided was a bit of a hit or miss as some staff members were helpful and proficient in English and Japanese, while others had poor English and were not very helpful. The location, however, was a definite highlight as it offered easy access to various attractions in Busan, with the main shopping district, the famous Jagalchi fish market, and other key spots within walking distance. The dining options were somewhat limited, with slow refills, but there were some decent Asian food choices available. Overall, the facilities were satisfactory, offering what you'd expect from a mid-range hotel.
I was pleased with the convenient location of the hotel, being close to major shopping areas and within walking distance to the famous Jagalchi fish market. The rooms had newly installed double-glazed windows and built-in closets, but the old heating system was a bit of a work in progress. The service was average, with some difficulty in communication due to poor English. The dining offered mainly Asian food with limited choices. The hotel had potential but fell short in certain areas.
