Great location near Nampo station. Near market with cheap seafood. Downstair got 7-11. Alot of convenient stall, cafe, street food within walking distance. Room is clean. Toilet small. Aircon abit noisy. But all acceptable for the cheap room rates.

Location was very convenient, next to the jalgachi market which I didn’t go actually. It’s a 3 star hotel and basically you get what you pay for. Nothing fancy but the basic needs are met. Had good night rest every night. Aircon was good and room was made up every alternate nights.

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE! After check-in we killed like 5 mosquitoes and a bug inside the room + the beds had a lot of stains. The kind receptionist offered us a new room. When we lifted the sheets in the new room there were even more STAINS. We asked at the desk to change them and they agreed, but didn’t do anything. We asked again this time the MANAGER, but he said he can’t do anything and that he won’t help us. He made us feel like we were asking too much (just clean bed sheets) and told us they have no more clean bed sheets in the hotel?! He ignored our complaint and said that we can find a different hotel (late evening at 9PM) or have a downgrade room but for the original (higher) price. He almost screamed at me to calm down when we were showing him the dirty sheets pictures, because other customers were standing nearby. After 30 minutes of ARGUING he gave us a refund and we left. ALL THE PICTURES ARE ONLY FROM THE SECOND ROOM.

unhelpful and arrogant manager and VERY DIRTY BED SHEETS - brown stains EVERYWHERE (I don't even want to know from what...). After kindly giving us a different room, the sheets were even more dirty!! Every single one - duvets, sheets pillows, multiple stains. So we understood that a different room wasn't the solution. So we asked at the desk for clean sheets around 3pm. After getting back to the hotel, nothing changed. We asked again, we were even willing to change them ourself (it was late evening, the cleaning staff was gone). The manager said he won't do anything to help us. He made us feel like we were asking too much (literally just clean bed sheets) and told us they have no more clean ones in the hotel?! Unwilling to help us, he said: find a different hotel or have a downgrade room (for the original higher price?!) He almost screamed at us to calm down, as other customers were standing nearby, since he didn't want them to overhear us complaining about stains everywhere. After 30 minutes of ARGUING he gave us a refund and we left. ALL THE PICTURES ARE ONLY FROM THE SECOND ROOM, so be sure, there were more we didn't document. Don't go to this hotel, save your money.

Great location but otherwise pretty sketchy. As commented elsewhere, the lifts are often struggling to meet demand. The hotel doors are weird. The toilet was too close to the wall to comfortably sit on, had to go side saddle. Breakfast was pretty unappetising. If I was coming to Busan again, I would hope I could find a better alternative. That said, I slept well both nights but maybe lucked out with a high floor, I sensed it could be noisy closer to the ground.

Location is good, just a few minutes walk from Busan city center, and close to the fish market. Mostly Korean guests not so many internationals. Rooms are okay. Neat and clean, nothing fancy. There is a convenience shop right under the hotel. Every evening the ground floor of the hotel entrance was scattered with adult entertainment flyers. The area was safe though. It works for this budget. Location is key.

the property was exceptionally clean, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my visit. The location is also excellent, making it very easy to get around.However, the sleep quality was disappointing. The beds were collapsing at the sides and felt quite worn out, which made for an uncomfortable night's rest. If the management replaces the mattresses, this would be a fantastic place to stay, but for now, it's hard to fully recommend for a long visit.

Excellent location right opposite Daiso and just a short walk to the seafood market. The room was spacious and clean, and the bathroom was well-maintained too. The only downside is that the elevators can be quite slow during peak times since there are only two small lifts. Overall, we had a very enjoyable two-night stay.
