Strengths & Weaknesses

  • +
    Location is outstanding, with scores around nine point three. Seomyeon Station connects Line 1, toward Busan Station and Nampo, and Line 2, toward Haeundae and Gwangalli, so almost every sight in the city is a direct ride. Guests often write that they did not realise how important this was until they arrived.
  • +
    Value for money scores above nine. Rates often start around fifty to sixty US dollars for a spacious, clean room in the very centre of Busan, noticeably less than the large hotels nearby.
  • +
    Rooms are described as spacious and clean, with fridge, kettle, seating area and good beds. Comfort scores reach nine point two out of ten.
  • +
    The rooftop café and terrace give an open air space with city views, a rare feature for a hotel of this size in a dense district.
  • +
    Free private parking is available on site, a considerable advantage in Seomyeon, where parking is expensive and scarce.
  • -
    Reception staff are polite and helpful but speak limited English, so complicated requests may need a translation app.
  • -
    There is no restaurant offering a full breakfast, although the surrounding streets compensate with countless cafés and eateries.
  • -
    Standard rooms are minimalist in design, and those who want more character should choose a deluxe category.
