How to Go from Seoul to Busan Easily? Full Transport Guide🔍
Oleh Nana
23 April 2026
When I was travelling in South Korea, one of the most exciting routes I took was from Seoul to Busan. I still remember how surprised I was! There are actually so many ways to get between these two cities, and each one feels totally different. At first, I thought it would just be a simple train ride, but I quickly realised I had options like the super fast KTX, long-distance buses, even flights, and private taxis. As someone from Malaysia, I found it quite similar to how we travel between KL and Penang~ But in Korea, everything is just more efficient and well-connected.
If you’re planning your own trip, don’t worry. In this guide, I’ll break down all the main transport options from Seoul to Busan, including travel time, cost, and which one actually makes the most sense depending on your budget and travel style.
🚄 Seoul to Busan by KTX Train
If there’s one option I would recommend for most travelers going from Seoul to Busan, it’s definitely the KTX high-speed train. This is the fastest, most convenient, and also the most popular way locals and tourists travel between the two cities. I personally found this option super smooth! No stress with airport check-in, no long waiting time, just board the train and relax while watching Korea’s countryside pass by😁.
⏱️ Travel Time
- Around 2.5 to 3 hours
- Direct high-speed route between Seoul and Busan
This is by far the fastest way compared to bus or flight (if you include airport transfer time).
📍 Where to Take the KTX
- ✅ Seoul Station (most common departure point)
- ✅ Yongsan Station (some routes also depart here)
You’ll arrive at:
- ✅ Busan Station, which is located in the city center and very convenient for subway connections.
💰 Ticket Price
- Around RM 130-160 (one way)
- Slightly higher for peak hours or premium seats
For Malaysia travelers, it’s roughly similar to a short domestic flight price, but much more comfortable and hassle-free.
🎫 How to Buy Tickets
You can book your KTX tickets easily through:
- KORAIL official website / app
- Ticket machines at the station
- Online travel platforms (I recommend Trip.com)

Each room comes with a KRW 50,000 gift card: I forgot how to use this one.
Located in Myeongdong, it's an older five-star hotel. Because it's an older five-star, the building is a bit low-rise and not very prominent in Myeongdong (as a person bad with directions, I had to use navigation every time to get back to the hotel).
The Airport Limousine Bus 6701 goes directly there, which is super convenient!
Across from the hotel: There's a 7-Eleven and GS25 if you use the underground passage.
Next door, there's an emart24.
Facilities: Well-equipped.
Cleanliness: Good.
Ambiance: Stylish, but the corridor outside the room had a slightly unpleasant smell.
It's very close to Lotte Department Store, and Shinsegae Department Store isn't far either; Shinsegae is a bit better for shopping.
Service: Polite and enthusiastic.
The room key card is made of wood and is quite beautiful.Dari€ 205

This hotel is perfectly located! It's just south of Seoul City Hall Square and west of Myeongdong. The subway station is only a few dozen meters from the lobby entrance, and Sejong-daero is right to the west. It's also not far from the major palaces and Namsan, so the location couldn't be better. The staff are very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. While the facilities might feel a bit more compact compared to newly built five-star hotels in China, they are well-maintained and perfectly adequate. Overall, it offers great value for money.Dari€ 195

The view is great, and as a suite, it's generally very good with no major drawbacks. The suite includes breakfast, afternoon tea, and happy hour. I didn't take photos of the breakfast, but it was extremely rich and delicious. Afternoon tea is shown in the pictures; there were no alcoholic beverages. The lighting and curtains are all smart-controlled, and there's an iPad by the bed to contact the hotel for requests. The space is also ample. The shower water pressure is excellent; both the overhead and handheld showers can be used simultaneously, and there's a seat. Various types of pillows are provided, such as memory foam pillows. Seoul's air quality is often poor, so the room is equipped with an air purifier, and you can call to have a humidifier delivered.
The location is convenient, with the subway station just a 5-minute walk away.
If I had to point out a drawback, the hotel has indeed been open for a number of years, and some basic features are a bit old. For example, the air conditioning lacks any advanced functions like scheduled shut-off; it only has a single temperature and fan speed setting.Dari€ 598

This is a decent hotel, right next to Shinsegae Department Store, and directly outside Exit 7 of Hoehyeon Subway Station. There's a large ramp leading up to the lobby on the first floor, but you have to go to the seventh floor to check in. It seems like there's a police station building nearby with an escalator that takes you right to the lobby entrance.
The hotel gave me a room on a higher floor, the 25th floor, which I believe is the top floor for guest rooms, but it was a corner room. The room layout was a bit odd; the room itself wasn't very big, with not much space beyond the bed, but the bathroom was exceptionally large, almost the same size as the room. There was a connecting door to the adjacent room, which was a suite. From the layout, this room seemed designed as a maid's room for the adjoining suite. When I complained about the corner room to the front desk, I was told that all rooms of this type are corner rooms, likely due to the design. Those who dislike corner rooms should consider this carefully.
The mattress in the room was exceptionally high. Before arriving, I had requested a baby crib, but the hotel didn't reserve one for me that day and instead provided a rail. This rail was hard to describe – it made little difference from having nothing at all. There's a tablet by the bed that controls the mattress and air conditioning. You can directly order bath towels, water, ice, etc., and even send text requests to the front desk.
The hotel appears to be a recommended hotel by LV. Upon check-in, I received an invitation to the LV exhibition, where you could get an LV canvas bag at the Shinsegae LV exhibition across the street. Overall, the hotel is quite good, with medium value for money.Dari€ 215

I always used to do my 'hotelcation' at Lotte, but this time I stayed at the Grand Hyatt, and it was an excellent choice! 🫶👍 I regret not coming to the Hyatt sooner, honestly. Haha.
True Wellness Point 1: The location and views are perfect for a quiet hotelcation and refreshing stay. 🫶 Even if it costs more, absolutely make sure to book a Namsan view or Han River view room! There's no need to wait in line at crowded cafes or rooftop cafes in the heat; you can relax in your room and fully enjoy a cafe-like atmosphere. If you convert time into money, this is much more reasonable. 🍀 Cafes in the central Hannam-dong area typically charge 5,500 to 7,500 KRW for an iced Americano. Hotel guests can buy an iced Americano from the 1st-floor deli for 6,500 KRW. ❤️
Wellness Point 2: There's a walking path connected to Namsan, so you can take a stroll after breakfast or even walk to Namsan Tower along the trail. ⭐ Truly the best! 🤗 Another great tip 👉 If you exit through the side path in the parking lot to the left of the hotel's main entrance (instead of the main entrance itself), you'll find Korean restaurants, convenience stores, and rooftop cafes. If the breakfast feels a bit too rich, you can easily balance it with some Korean food. ✨ The central commercial area of Hannam-dong, Itaewon, and Haebangchon are all within basic taxi fare distance, which is very convenient. 🫶
Wellness Point 3: If outdoor activities are too difficult in the heat, you can visit the Leeum Museum of Art right in front of the hotel to enjoy an exhibition and find some mental relaxation.
Downsides: If I had to find any, the gym gets crowded. You need to be quick for breakfast. And if you go to the deli shop late in the afternoon, the salads are often sold out.Dari€ 277

Very beautiful hotel. Greeted by staffs who helped open the car door, and get your bags and luggage to the check in counter every day!
Only bummer was at check out timing is 11am, we tried asking for later check out timing during check-in and was told hotel is full. Managed to get a late check out of 12pm when we tried again the night before leaving the hotel.
Hotel has a little mall,a coffee bean, CU, some expensive restaurants. It also has a sauna (30K won per pax), 1 hot and cold tub and one sauna room.
Room amenities can be requested via the web app in your room. Rooms were very modern, however Water from the shower does flood the dry toilet area a little. Generally a great stay.Dari€ 190

The room was really tiny. Whatever you do, don't buy any package deals, like the one for Petite France – it's incredibly far, like an hour and a half to two hours away, and you can't even get a refund. It doesn't really feel like a five-star hotel; more like a four-star. You can walk to Myeongdong in about 20 minutes from the hotel by taking the underground passage straight from Dongdaemun. But I found Korea to be quite run down, with power lines everywhere. Unless you're a big K-pop fan or love concerts, a trip to Korea can be pretty disappointing.

I’ll give a 10/10. Great location, right next to Hyundai Seoul Department store & IFC Mall, very convenient for shopping & food. The staff are super nice & friendly, speaks excellent English, easy communication for International travellers. Room is spacious & clean, they have turn down service as well.
As for breakfast, that’s the greatest part out of the whole experience; food was freshly made & provided wide variety of choices (they even have abalone congee💕) Special thanks to Mr. Jin ( F& B Manager) who makes our dinning experience a warm one. Except for the warm greetings & introducing the food, he gets us a grapefruit sparkling 🍸 & by knowing that today is our last day staying at their hotel, he gave a little gift (tea & a mini teddy bear key chain) before we left. That’s very sweet of him.
So we already thinking of making a return trip to this place next year.Dari€ 336

The main entrance has stairs, and there's a small slope leading to the back entrance, but the signs aren't very clear, which can be a bit inconvenient if you're lugging suitcases.

First off, the hotel's location is fantastic. It's really close to both the number 2 and 3 subway stations Ⓜ️, and the 6015 airport bus goes directly to the hotel, which is a huge plus! I understand that hotels in Korea don't provide toothpaste and toothbrushes for environmental reasons, and that's fine. However, we stayed for three days, and they didn't even bother to replace our slippers, which were as thin as paper. After three days, the slippers were literally falling apart – that's a bit much, don't you think? As for cleanliness, there was a layer of dust on the bathroom shelf that we had to clean ourselves. All in all, it's an okay place to stay, but definitely nothing to write home about.Dari€ 128

The hotel is right outside a metro station, which makes getting around very convenient. This time I also discovered they have self-lock luggage lockers, free for the first 24 hours (or available for a small fee after), which was very useful. The laundry machines are also affordable and work well, with dryers available too.

Facilities: Overall, pretty good. Even though the hotel is old, the facilities are well-maintained. The main drawbacks are that there are no power outlets by the bedside table, so you have to charge your devices at the desk. Also, one washing machine was out of order, leading to queues during peak laundry hours in the evening.
Cleanliness: Very clean.
Environment: Great location, close to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park subway station Exit 6 (just a few hundred meters walk, very convenient). You can see Namsan Tower from the window. The CJ ENM building is directly opposite the hotel. It's very convenient for visiting Dongdaemun, Myeongdong, Gyeongbokgung, etc. However, Exit 6 of the subway has many stairs, which can be really tiring if you're carrying a large suitcase.
Service: Overall good. The front desk staff all speak Chinese, so communication is smooth. Any issues are resolved promptly.

The Koreana Hotel truly stands as a representative hotel in Korea, embodying understated luxury and elegance. It's nestled in the heart of Seoul, right next to Gwanghwamun Square and Cheonggyecheon Stream, offering stunning distant views of Namsan Mountain, especially beautiful at night.
Opened in 1972, the Koreana Hotel played a significant role in international events, operating the main press center restaurant during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and later the Paralympics Athletes' Village restaurant. It has consistently served as an important hub for hosting international guests!
We booked the Koreana Hotel this time because we had tickets for the Harry Potter 25th Anniversary Concert at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts on Friday evening from 7-9 PM. ^u^
For check-in, you need to prepare your ID card or passport. We were given a fantastic room on the 15th floor with an unparalleled night view. We are truly grateful for the hotel's excellent care!
Although the room is around 30 square meters, it actually felt like 50 square meters. The decor is luxurious French style, comfortable yet elegant, and perfectly quiet. I had expected it to be somewhat old, but it's incredibly well-maintained and renovated, and the TV even connects directly to YouTube – a clear sign of how the world is changing and hotels are continuously improving!
The bedding was also excellent with a very comfortable mattress. For travelers, getting a good night's rest, relaxing completely, and waking up refreshed and energized for the next day is crucial, and we both slept wonderfully!
The room came with an iPad for ordering room service and hotel amenities, allowing many tasks to be completed quietly, which I absolutely loved. The hotel's response was incredibly fast; service requests were delivered within 5-10 minutes! We ordered abalone porridge for breakfast, and it was delivered promptly 20 minutes after we scheduled the preparation time. One portion was more than enough for both an adult and a child, and we enjoyed it very much!
Do note that the hotel does not provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, facial cleanser, or combs – only soap! Other items are available in a paid amenity kit, so be aware when checking in. There are two bottles of complimentary water; it's more economical to purchase additional water at a convenience store.Dari€ 100

Overall, for Seoul, where finding new hotels is a challenge, this one is pretty decent (the facilities feel new). The Four Seasons was booked, and other options (old/many bad reviews) were simply not appealing.
1. The bedding is just okay, a bit firm. But generally acceptable. There's a Type-C port on the side of the headboard, so no adapter is needed.
2. The public areas are quite comfortable and spacious! The entrance is on B1, which offers good privacy (no ground-floor entrance).
3. The pool and sauna are also quite pleasant and worth checking out.
4. Didn't get a chance to try breakfast. For lunch that day, I opted for in-room dining, and the ox bone soup with rice was decent (perhaps because I was quite hungry).
Booked through Trip.com, and they helped me get an upgrade to a corner river view room!
Also, I was able to check in around 1:10 PM, which was great! Room service took about 20 minutes, very responsive!
In the evening, I tried the lounge bar, which offered good value for money and a nice ambiance!
By the way, although the in-room toothbrushes are marked as chargeable, they are essentially not charged. I guess it's a balance between Korean legislation and customer service, haha!Dari€ 507

As of the cleanness and amenities, first of all, the shower head did not work properly, the aircon did not work during the first night ( better the second and third) and the tooth brush glass had stains when I checked in ( see photo attached )

I stayed at this hotel while visiting Korea for a health check-up at Korea University Guro Hospital, and my first impression was excellent thanks to the incredibly kind front desk staff. Since I needed to drink a lot of water for my colonoscopy preparation, they generously provided plenty of bottled water and showed such warm hospitality throughout my stay.
I stayed in Room 803, and the small private balcony with a beautiful city view was absolutely wonderful. I stayed with my mother, and the bedding was so clean and comfortable that I was able to forget my worries about the health check-up the next day and sleep very peacefully.
Another thing I really appreciated was the taxi stand located right outside the hotel. Since I did not have a Korean phone number, it was difficult to call Kakao Taxi, so having taxis readily available made everything so convenient. It only cost about 5,800 won to comfortably get to Korea University Guro Hospital.

The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from both Line 2 and Line 5 subway stations.

Our stay was perfect, and it all started with the incredible front desk team. After a long-haul flight from the US, we arrived in Seoul exhausted. We knew check-in wasn't until 3 PM, but the staff were so thoughtful and proactively checked to see if a room was available. They kindly offered us an early check-in, which was an absolute lifesaver and allowed us to recharge immediately. A special shout-out to the staff member who also noticed I had two separate bookings for my 4-night stay and seamlessly arranged to keep me in the same room—such careful attention to detail!
Location-wise, this hotel is unbeatable. It’s steps away from the metro and the airport bus stop, making transfers a breeze. Plus, the neighborhood is buzzing with great restaurants and unique boutiques—perfect for shopping and eating to your heart's content. We can't wait to come back!Dari€ 133

My stay perfectly matched my expectations for The Shilla Seoul; if you're looking for an old-money vibe, this is a great fit.
Hardware-wise, for a hotel with some history, it felt newer than I anticipated, and the crystal chandelier in the lobby is absolutely stunning.
The room size was just right, with a wet and dry bathroom featuring a separate shower and bathtub.
The windows and the view from the room are a major highlight. Even though my room this time didn't face Namsan Tower, it was still excellent.
You'll need to bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush, but cotton swabs and shower caps are provided.
The mini-fridge, snacks, and minibar are all chargeable.
In terms of service, from getting out of the car to reaching my room, it met the high standards of a five-star hotel. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, and one even spoke Chinese to me during checkout (though I don't expect all of them to).
This time, I also made sure to try the Room Service. The menu is in the desk drawer, and you can order using the in-room phone. The fried chicken and fries were very good; the portion was easily enough for two people or more.
Regarding amenities, the bakery on the first floor of the hotel was bustling, mostly with local Koreans. I thought the taste was good, and the salt bread was particularly nice.
The hotel lobby was almost always full, and there were constant business meetings and events happening on the left side, so you see a continuous stream of locals.
The hotel offers a free shuttle bus, but you need to check the schedule carefully. Since I didn't use it, I can't offer advice.
On either side of the hotel are Aesop and Moynat stores, and Shilla Duty Free is just a five-minute walk away.
If your itinerary is well-planned and not rushed, staying at The Shilla is a great choice. It's not far to get to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seochon, Bukchon, Myeongdong, Seongsu-dong, and Hannam-dong by taxi from here. However, if you're trying to pack a lot into your schedule and rely mainly on the subway, it might not be as suitable. Seoul traffic can be quite bad.
Personally, I would consider staying at The Shilla again. The service experience was very satisfying.Dari€ 385

There was one downside: my iPhone charger went missing.

This is a luxury, trendy brand under Hyatt. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the Apgujeong commercial area.

On the ground floor, there's a Blue Bottle Coffee and a TWG Tea outlet, and there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The hotel's decor is very stylish. However, the room layout is a bit odd and slanted, and the space isn't very large, feeling a little cramped. This particular room type doesn't have a bathtub, and the vanity is quite small. Aside from a few labeled alcoholic beverages, all other soft drinks, beer, and snacks in the mini-bar are complimentary. There's a gym and a pool on B2, but no changing rooms or lockers.

From the lobby ambiance and public spaces to the overall environment, you can feel the stability and upscale feel of a mature hotel system. The hotel itself covers a large area, with many landscapes and facilities worth exploring slowly; it's not the kind of place you can fully experience in just one night. I particularly love the walking trails around the hotel; they are very green and offer a great sense of a vacation while strolling, providing a rare relaxing space within Seoul city. Transportation is also very convenient, with shuttle buses to and from the city center and airport limousines, which is very reassuring for tourists.

If you're reading this review, you should probably look for another hotel.
1️⃣ **Cons**
**I. Guest Rooms**
1. **Facilities are mediocre.** They're not even as good as the Park Hyatt Beijing or Shanghai. On my last night, I noticed the bathroom cabinet door wouldn't stay shut (I have a video), but since I had an early flight the next day, I didn't bother asking for a room change.
2. **Room Assignment.**
* **Floor Level.** I assumed the Park Hyatt Seoul wouldn't require multiple elevator transfers, but they put me on the 5th floor. To get to the 2nd-floor restaurant or the ground floor, I had to go up first, as the lobby is on the 24th floor. If many guests are waiting for the elevator, it can take ages to go up, and even longer to go down if it's crowded. I'd advise any Chinese guests reading this to specifically request a high floor, even if not for the view, then at least for convenience.
* **Room Location.** I chose a room not facing the street, which was very quiet. If you need peace and quiet, you can request a non-street-facing room, as there's still a lot of ongoing construction near the street, and I'm not sure if it causes noise disturbances at night.
**II. Breakfast**
1. **Restaurant Size.** The breakfast restaurant is incredibly tiny, feeling about the size of a cramped old bathroom in Beijing. When it gets busy, you have to wait for ages, and there are only six waiting seats, so you often have to stand.
2. **Taste.** Very, very mediocre. Avoid it if you can. If you're purely after nice plating and good service, then go for it.
3. **Inconsistent Standards.** On the first day, I ordered the beef patty toast (떡갈비 토스트) and waited over 20 minutes for it. When it arrived, it was rock hard. I thought it was a special feature and was confused as I cut it, but I still ate it, haha. The next day, I ordered the same beef patty toast (떡갈비 토스트), and it arrived in less than five minutes, with soft, crispy bread. I was truly amazed. If you absolutely have to have breakfast, start nudging them if your order isn't served within five minutes; don't waste your time.
4. **Specialty.** It's called Park Hyatt Seoul, but there's barely anything related to Korea. There are some items, but not many. If you want to experience Korean culture, don't book this hotel.
**III. Room Amenities & Facilities**
1. **In-Room Dining Menu.** The booklet was full of torn pages, and combined with the terrible breakfast, turning a page made me lose all desire to order anything. The prices were actually fine for hotel dining.
2. **Toilet Stall.** In my twin room, the toilet stall didn't seem to have an exhaust fan. It took a while for odors to dissipate. If you're particular about cleanliness, definitely don't book here.
3. **Central Air Conditioning.** It's incredibly loud. If you're sensitive to noise, don't book this hotel.
2️⃣ **Pros**
**I. Service.** I can only say the service was genuinely excellent. From the greeters to the front desk and room service, it deserves full marks; it was very comfortable. However, if service is your only priority, I still recommend looking elsewhere.
**II. Location.** The location is great. You can walk through an underground passage directly to COEX and Hyundai Department Store. But considering all the cons mentioned above, you'd be better off booking the Grand InterContinental Parnas, which is right downstairs.
3️⃣ **Finally**
I must have too much time on my hands to write all this, but I hope this review helps everyone. If you're considering other hotels near COEX, you can skip this one. Very disappointed.Dari€ 385

I would give 10 stars if that option is available. We were a bit worried when we read reviews about the cleanliness of the rooms and did a thorough check upon check in (bed bugs? Dust? Suspicious stains?) and found none. Also, I booked the rooms to be near Myeongdong Station but it was a bit of a walk with our luggages and I thought “that was it… how is this near any station?” And then we found Euljiro (3) station at our doorstep! The rest of the day and the rest of our journey became a breeze!
It is actually a short walk to Myeongdong station once we figured out the location, hotel is opposite plenty of restaurants.
We left our luggages at the counter before and after check in and both times our luggages were well taken care of.
If I have to nitpick, the lift took a longer time than usual to arrive at our level esp during check in check out because lobby is at level 4. People are pressing to go up and down level 4 and 1 so waiting time increased.
That’s actually ok though, just leave the room earlier. We’re travelling, just leave earlier and everything is good anywhere.
To summarise, if we travel back to Seoul, we will come back to Four Points by Sheraton Josun Myeongdong Seoul. Get every word right because there is another Four Points by Sheraton Josun and we have no experience with that one.Dari€ 161

This really looks like a resort hotel. The front desk staff's English isn't great, and the location is a bit out of the way – there aren't even any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby. It's quite close to the Dongbusan outlet mall though.
The entire hotel complex is very fancy and huge. The parking lot is massive and luxurious, but there are so many cars... Check-in is on the 10th floor, and there were no bellhops or any signs to guide us.
After checking in, no one told us where our room was, they just gave me a map... It took us half an hour to find it, circling around the hotel. I didn't see any staff during that time, and I was getting pretty annoyed.
The room itself is quite large, but both the room and public areas show clear signs of wear and tear (lots of dirty marks on the walls, poorly maintained).
The view is great though; you can see the ocean from the balcony and even catch the sunrise, although the angle is a bit off :)
What I found most unacceptable was that the body wash/shampoo was just soap. It lathered up incredibly slowly and barely produced any suds. With my normal length but somewhat thick hair, just getting it to lather took me 15 minutes! It seriously prolonged my shower time. A truly awful experience.
If you don't mind these things or bring your own toiletries and just care about the view, then this place is for you – the scenery is unbeatable. But all in all, I don't think it's worth the price. It's a hotel that's all style and no substance.Dari€ 401

The good points are that it's very close to the beach and the room rate is cheap. A single room for just over 300 [currency unit] and you can walk to the beach in five minutes. Downstairs, they offer free combs, facial cleanser, makeup remover, and lotion.
The downsides are that it's extremely crowded. When I checked in, it was fully booked. The elevators are incredibly slow – there are 4 elevators for 22 floors, and they seem to stop on almost every floor. The breakfast was the worst out of all the Toyoko Inns I've stayed at! There's hardly anything to eat, and it's incredibly noisy because of the crowds. I'd recommend skipping it and finding something to eat outside. The cleanliness wasn't great either; I found a hair on the toilet when I checked in.

- for some reason they keep giving tiny hotels by default and did not provide large bath towels. housekeeping keeps replenishing with ONLY small face towels. had to request from the reception every single time. it was quite puzzling why large bath towels were not automatically provided or replenished.
it was a bit hard to find the entrance though… can be confused for seacloud hotel which is another hotel that’s connected to the same building. signage for suncloud hotel is not prominent enough and only in korean. to get to suncloud, u need to go up the building for seacloud, go to 4th floor which is seacloud’s reception, then walk to the other lift to get to 6th floor of the next building for the suncloud reception.Dari€ 101

If you are looking for a stay with a view in Busan, Hotel Adela offers some fantastic visual perks, though it comes with a few logistical ”hurdles”—quite literally, if you end up taking the stairs! Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect.
The Room & Amenities
The first thing you’ll notice is the generous room size. Unlike many cramped city hotels, there is plenty of space to move around.
The View: The highlight of the stay is undoubtedly the stunning harbor view. Watching the bridge light up at night is a great way to wind down.
Comfort: The beds are comfortable and provide a good night’s rest.
Condition: While the room is clean, some of the furniture is starting to show its age and feels a bit dated.
Facilities: Basic toiletries, drinking water, tea, and coffee are all provided. Note that the toilet and bathtub are in the same space (not separated).
Climate Control: Be aware that during winter and early spring, the air conditioning is disabled. If the room gets too warm, you’ll need to crack the window to let the crisp Busan air in.
The Elevator Challenge (The Biggest Downside)
The most significant drawback is the elevator situation. The hotel only has three elevators, which is insufficient for a building of this size—especially since it is a popular choice for large tour groups from Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
Peak Hours: Between 7:30 AM – 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, the elevators are perpetually packed.
The Struggle: It can be so challenging to catch a lift that I actually had to walk down the stairs from the 15th floor to the lobby. If you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, this is a major factor to consider.
Dining & Convenience
On-site Eats: There is a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant on the 2nd floor that is definitely worth a try—the taste is quite good!
Convenience: A CU convenience store is located right in the lobby, which is incredibly handy for late-night snacks or essentials.
Breakfast Tip: I recommend skipping the hotel breakfast package. The restaurant is on the 24th floor, meaning you have to wait for the elevator to go up, and then wait again to get back down to the lobby to start your day. You’ll save money and time by eating at one of the many local spots nearby.
Location & Accessibility
The location is a strong point for shoppers and explorers:
Metro: About a 7–8 minute walk to Nampo Station.
Shopping: Very close to Lotte Shopping Mall and the famous Gwangbok-ro Shopping Street.
Note: The building is shared with another hotel (North Harbor Hotel), which contributes to the high foot traffic in the lobby and elevators.
Hotel Adela is a solid choice if you value a spacious room with a beautiful view and want to stay near the Nampo-dong action. However, the elevator delays are a serious test of patience. If you choose to stay here, try to avoid traveling in and out of the hotel during peak tour group hours!
Pack your patience for the lobby wait, and definitely grab some fried chicken on the second floor!Dari€ 59

The single room was a bit too small for two adults, which made it uncomfortable (though that's on us for being on a tight budget, my husband kept complaining, haha). The air conditioner made a strange noise at night, which was a little startling. The bedding and sheets looked clean overall, but upon closer inspection, I found black marks that seemed to have white cover-up smeared over them (not sure what it was). Thanks to the front desk for giving us a relatively high floor. Other than that, everything was fine. Breakfast was decent, and the breakfast room had a great view. The washing and drying machines were a bit expensive to use (3000+4000), especially compared to hotels in Haeundae where it's only 2000+2000.Dari€ 40

My minor complaint is that the bathroom faucet is too close to the sink, leaving you no room to actually use the water without touching the edge of the sink or making a mess. The other minor complaint is the automatic light in the bathroom turns off while using the toilet or taking a shower.Dari€ 53

Facilities: There's a gym available, and you can pay extra for breakfast and lunch. The lunch here is surprisingly good and much more cost-effective than eating out, especially compared to a BBQ meal. The entire hotel looks very new and fresh, making it a pleasant stay.
Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy, which made for a very comfortable experience. It's a bit far from the city center, but that has its advantages – it's incredibly quiet, perfect for a business trip. There are plenty of food options nearby; you can find everything just by walking around downstairs. I only had BBQ once in four days, but I explored the area multiple times.
Service: Everyone greets you with 'Ari-ari-assayo.' The front desk staff don't speak Chinese, but they all speak English. A lovely lady at the Chinese restaurant speaks excellent Chinese. Bed linen and towels were changed promptly. Overall, the service was great.Dari€ 85

- clean room

- great if you’re going out all day
The bad
- I stayed 4 days and there was only 1x housekeeping. I was told this on check in. But this was not on the booking details. You have to inform them before 1pm each day.
- a semi wet bathroom
- facing the main road, you can hear the vehicles (I was on the 7th floor)
- toiletries are not provided and need to be purchased from vending machine (not a problem but should be listed on booking)
- other than Nampo, and Jalgachi seafood market. There’s not much around, and it’s quite far from everything else in Busan.
- I asked for an extra pillow 1 night, and the front desk said “house keeping has closed for the day”. Ok even if that’s the case, surely they can go into the store room themselves to get me an extra pillow. I wasn’t asking for them to clean or anything.

THE GOOD
It's important to understand that this is an affordable hostel with a view but is not as fancy as it may seem in the photos. You're not going to get a luxury, super-comfortable stay with a bay view at this low of price. Speaking of the view, it's very nice during the day and at night from the top floor breakfast room and the bay view rooms on the levels right below it. Speaking of breakfast, you do have to cook the eggs yourself, but there are three burners and some other good food options, too. We also had a great experience with the staff at the reception desk, who were friendly, helpful, and apologetic about any issues. The WiFi was good, with a modem and router in each room. The location is great, too, if you love shopping streets, street food, fish markets, wharfs, and a more locals side of Busan. Access to the subway and buses is incredible, so you can get over to Haeudae Beach, Gwangali Beach, Dadaepo Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan Station (for trains to Seoul and Gyeongju), and more, but if you want to frequent Haeudae, it's kind of a long haul from here.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD
Our bay view room was a bit gimmicky, because while the view was nice, the room is quite small, has flimsy furniture, and lacks hooks (except the one in the window where the sun will fade your clothes). The wall of windows is cool to look through, but in May, we had the curtains closed 99% of the time because the south-facing room gets blasted by the sun and the AC isn't powerful enough to counteract it. The room was in need of maintenance, too, with ruined flooring due to a poor bathroom door design and things starting to fall apart in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, if you need 100% total privacy, it may not work for you. The shade over the very large window is barely sufficient in its thickness, and it has a two-inch gap on either side where you can see down to the street 9 stories below (see photo). You have to stand in a specific spot in the bathroom while showering with the handheld showerhead in order to feel entirely private, and you have to be very careful to not spray the leaky door. We also discovered that things that aren't used regularly can be dusty, and we found dust bunnies in the hallways. The bed also had a firm, squeaky spring mattress that didn't encourage the greatest sleep. If you're a backpacker or budget traveler like us, you'll find this place passable (especially for the price, location, and breakfast), but if you have normal hotel standards, this hostel may not meet them.Dari€ 29

Ease of Check-in: This hostel is conveniently located in Nampo-dong, close to Busan Station, making transportation very easy. Even arriving at Busan Station around 1 AM on check-in day, there was still a bus to the hostel, and there are direct airport buses nearby. The surrounding Nampo-dong commercial district offers super convenient options for dining, entertainment, and shopping.
Security: There's a dedicated area for female guests, requiring key card access for entry and exit. Rooms also have lockers with locks.
Facilities: I booked a 5-person room. Although not large, the room was very clean and bright. The beds had curtains, and the bedding was comfortable. There were plenty of power outlets and good lighting by the bed. While the hostel isn't huge, it's very cozy. The toilets and showers are quite spacious. Free breakfast is provided (it's simple, and you need to prepare it yourself). The kitchen is well-equipped with cutlery and cooking utensils. The water dispenser even has an ice-making function.
Cleanliness & Environment: The hostel is generally quiet, and the cleanliness is excellent – super clean!
Service: Most accommodations in Korea operate with self-check-in, and this hostel doesn't have a 24-hour front desk. However, the hostel consistently sends out emails to guests beforehand with detailed check-in guides and reminders, making the overall check-in process very smooth. The room key card also feels high-quality.

🚌 Seoul to Busan by Bus
If you’re travelling on a tighter budget, the intercity express bus is one of the most affordable ways to go from Seoul to Busan. It takes longer than the KTX, but it’s still a very common option among locals, especially for students and budget travelers. I actually think this option is quite underrated, because the buses in Korea are surprisingly comfortable, even for long-distance travel✅.
⏱️ Travel Time
- Around 4 to 5 hours
- Depends on traffic (can be slightly longer during peak hours)
So compared to KTX, you’re basically trading time for a cheaper ticket.
📍 Where to Take the Bus
Main departure points in Seoul:
- ✅ Seoul Express Bus Terminal (Gangnam)
- ✅ Dong Seoul Bus Terminal
Arrival point in Busan:
- ✅ Busan Central Bus Terminal
- ✅ Some buses also stop at different smaller terminals depending on the route
💰 Ticket Price
- Around RM 60-100
- Premium “luxury buses” cost more but offer better seats
This is usually the cheapest transport option from Seoul to Busan.
🪑 Bus Types
You can choose between:
- 🚌 Standard bus (basic but still comfortable)
- 🛋️ Premium / Luxury bus (reclining seats, more legroom)
🎫 How to Buy Tickets
- Bus terminal counters
- Ticket machines at stations
- Online booking platforms (recommended for tourists)

Each room comes with a KRW 50,000 gift card: I forgot how to use this one.
Located in Myeongdong, it's an older five-star hotel. Because it's an older five-star, the building is a bit low-rise and not very prominent in Myeongdong (as a person bad with directions, I had to use navigation every time to get back to the hotel).
The Airport Limousine Bus 6701 goes directly there, which is super convenient!

The lighting and curtains are all smart-controlled, and there's an iPad by the bed to contact the hotel for requests. The space is also ample. The shower water pressure is excellent; both the overhead and handheld showers can be used simultaneously, and there's a seat. Various types of pillows are provided, such as memory foam pillows.

The location is convenient, with the subway station just a 5-minute walk away.

This is a decent hotel, right next to Shinsegae Department Store, and directly outside Exit 7 of Hoehyeon Subway Station. There's a large ramp leading up to the lobby on the first floor, but you have to go to the seventh floor to check in. It seems like there's a police station building nearby with an escalator that takes you right to the lobby entrance.
The hotel gave me a room on a higher floor, the 25th floor, which I believe is the top floor for guest rooms, but it was a corner room. The room layout was a bit odd; the room itself wasn't very big, with not much space beyond the bed, but the bathroom was exceptionally large, almost the same size as the room. There was a connecting door to the adjacent room, which was a suite. From the layout, this room seemed designed as a maid's room for the adjoining suite. When I complained about the corner room to the front desk, I was told that all rooms of this type are corner rooms, likely due to the design. Those who dislike corner rooms should consider this carefully.
The mattress in the room was exceptionally high. Before arriving, I had requested a baby crib, but the hotel didn't reserve one for me that day and instead provided a rail. This rail was hard to describe – it made little difference from having nothing at all. There's a tablet by the bed that controls the mattress and air conditioning. You can directly order bath towels, water, ice, etc., and even send text requests to the front desk.
The hotel appears to be a recommended hotel by LV. Upon check-in, I received an invitation to the LV exhibition, where you could get an LV canvas bag at the Shinsegae LV exhibition across the street. Overall, the hotel is quite good, with medium value for money.Dari€ 215

I always used to do my 'hotelcation' at Lotte, but this time I stayed at the Grand Hyatt, and it was an excellent choice! 🫶👍 I regret not coming to the Hyatt sooner, honestly. Haha.
True Wellness Point 1: The location and views are perfect for a quiet hotelcation and refreshing stay. 🫶 Even if it costs more, absolutely make sure to book a Namsan view or Han River view room! There's no need to wait in line at crowded cafes or rooftop cafes in the heat; you can relax in your room and fully enjoy a cafe-like atmosphere. If you convert time into money, this is much more reasonable. 🍀 Cafes in the central Hannam-dong area typically charge 5,500 to 7,500 KRW for an iced Americano. Hotel guests can buy an iced Americano from the 1st-floor deli for 6,500 KRW. ❤️
Wellness Point 2: There's a walking path connected to Namsan, so you can take a stroll after breakfast or even walk to Namsan Tower along the trail. ⭐ Truly the best! 🤗 Another great tip 👉 If you exit through the side path in the parking lot to the left of the hotel's main entrance (instead of the main entrance itself), you'll find Korean restaurants, convenience stores, and rooftop cafes. If the breakfast feels a bit too rich, you can easily balance it with some Korean food. ✨ The central commercial area of Hannam-dong, Itaewon, and Haebangchon are all within basic taxi fare distance, which is very convenient. 🫶
Wellness Point 3: If outdoor activities are too difficult in the heat, you can visit the Leeum Museum of Art right in front of the hotel to enjoy an exhibition and find some mental relaxation.
Downsides: If I had to find any, the gym gets crowded. You need to be quick for breakfast. And if you go to the deli shop late in the afternoon, the salads are often sold out.Dari€ 277

Hotel has a little mall,a coffee bean, CU, some expensive restaurants. It also has a sauna (30K won per pax), 1 hot and cold tub and one sauna room.
Room amenities can be requested via the web app in your room. Rooms were very modern, however Water from the shower does flood the dry toilet area a little. Generally a great stay.Dari€ 190

The room was really tiny. Whatever you do, don't buy any package deals, like the one for Petite France – it's incredibly far, like an hour and a half to two hours away, and you can't even get a refund. It doesn't really feel like a five-star hotel; more like a four-star. You can walk to Myeongdong in about 20 minutes from the hotel by taking the underground passage straight from Dongdaemun. But I found Korea to be quite run down, with power lines everywhere. Unless you're a big K-pop fan or love concerts, a trip to Korea can be pretty disappointing.

I’ll give a 10/10. Great location, right next to Hyundai Seoul Department store & IFC Mall, very convenient for shopping & food. The staff are super nice & friendly, speaks excellent English, easy communication for International travellers. Room is spacious & clean, they have turn down service as well.
As for breakfast, that’s the greatest part out of the whole experience; food was freshly made & provided wide variety of choices (they even have abalone congee💕) Special thanks to Mr. Jin ( F& B Manager) who makes our dinning experience a warm one. Except for the warm greetings & introducing the food, he gets us a grapefruit sparkling 🍸 & by knowing that today is our last day staying at their hotel, he gave a little gift (tea & a mini teddy bear key chain) before we left. That’s very sweet of him.

I understand that hotels in Korea don't provide toothpaste and toothbrushes for environmental reasons, and that's fine. However, we stayed for three days, and they didn't even bother to replace our slippers, which were as thin as paper. After three days, the slippers were literally falling apart – that's a bit much, don't you think? As for cleanliness, there was a layer of dust on the bathroom shelf that we had to clean ourselves.

Facilities: Overall, pretty good. Even though the hotel is old, the facilities are well-maintained. The main drawbacks are that there are no power outlets by the bedside table, so you have to charge your devices at the desk. Also, one washing machine was out of order, leading to queues during peak laundry hours in the evening.
Cleanliness: Very clean.
Environment: Great location, close to Dongdaemun History & Culture Park subway station Exit 6 (just a few hundred meters walk, very convenient). You can see Namsan Tower from the window. The CJ ENM building is directly opposite the hotel. It's very convenient for visiting Dongdaemun, Myeongdong, Gyeongbokgung, etc. However, Exit 6 of the subway has many stairs, which can be really tiring if you're carrying a large suitcase.
Service: Overall good. The front desk staff all speak Chinese, so communication is smooth. Any issues are resolved promptly.

The Koreana Hotel truly stands as a representative hotel in Korea, embodying understated luxury and elegance. It's nestled in the heart of Seoul, right next to Gwanghwamun Square and Cheonggyecheon Stream, offering stunning distant views of Namsan Mountain, especially beautiful at night.
Opened in 1972, the Koreana Hotel played a significant role in international events, operating the main press center restaurant during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and later the Paralympics Athletes' Village restaurant. It has consistently served as an important hub for hosting international guests!
We booked the Koreana Hotel this time because we had tickets for the Harry Potter 25th Anniversary Concert at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts on Friday evening from 7-9 PM. ^u^
For check-in, you need to prepare your ID card or passport. We were given a fantastic room on the 15th floor with an unparalleled night view. We are truly grateful for the hotel's excellent care!
Although the room is around 30 square meters, it actually felt like 50 square meters. The decor is luxurious French style, comfortable yet elegant, and perfectly quiet. I had expected it to be somewhat old, but it's incredibly well-maintained and renovated, and the TV even connects directly to YouTube – a clear sign of how the world is changing and hotels are continuously improving!
The bedding was also excellent with a very comfortable mattress. For travelers, getting a good night's rest, relaxing completely, and waking up refreshed and energized for the next day is crucial, and we both slept wonderfully!
The room came with an iPad for ordering room service and hotel amenities, allowing many tasks to be completed quietly, which I absolutely loved. The hotel's response was incredibly fast; service requests were delivered within 5-10 minutes! We ordered abalone porridge for breakfast, and it was delivered promptly 20 minutes after we scheduled the preparation time. One portion was more than enough for both an adult and a child, and we enjoyed it very much!
Do note that the hotel does not provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, facial cleanser, or combs – only soap! Other items are available in a paid amenity kit, so be aware when checking in.

Overall, for Seoul, where finding new hotels is a challenge, this one is pretty decent (the facilities feel new). The Four Seasons was booked, and other options (old/many bad reviews) were simply not appealing.
1. The bedding is just okay, a bit firm. But generally acceptable. There's a Type-C port on the side of the headboard, so no adapter is needed.
2. The public areas are quite comfortable and spacious! The entrance is on B1, which offers good privacy (no ground-floor entrance).
3. The pool and sauna are also quite pleasant and worth checking out.
4. Didn't get a chance to try breakfast. For lunch that day, I opted for in-room dining, and the ox bone soup with rice was decent (perhaps because I was quite hungry).
Booked through Trip.com, and they helped me get an upgrade to a corner river view room!
Also, I was able to check in around 1:10 PM, which was great! Room service took about 20 minutes, very responsive!
In the evening, I tried the lounge bar, which offered good value for money and a nice ambiance!
By the way, although the in-room toothbrushes are marked as chargeable, they are essentially not charged. I guess it's a balance between Korean legislation and customer service, haha!Dari€ 507

I stayed at this hotel while visiting Korea for a health check-up at Korea University Guro Hospital, and my first impression was excellent thanks to the incredibly kind front desk staff. Since I needed to drink a lot of water for my colonoscopy preparation, they generously provided plenty of bottled water and showed such warm hospitality throughout my stay.
I stayed in Room 803, and the small private balcony with a beautiful city view was absolutely wonderful. I stayed with my mother, and the bedding was so clean and comfortable that I was able to forget my worries about the health check-up the next day and sleep very peacefully.
Another thing I really appreciated was the taxi stand located right outside the hotel. Since I did not have a Korean phone number, it was difficult to call Kakao Taxi, so having taxis readily available made everything so convenient.

The room size was just right, with a wet and dry bathroom featuring a separate shower and bathtub.

You'll need to bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush, but cotton swabs and shower caps are provided.

In terms of service, from getting out of the car to reaching my room, it met the high standards of a five-star hotel. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, and one even spoke Chinese to me during checkout (though I don't expect all of them to).
This time, I also made sure to try the Room Service. The menu is in the desk drawer, and you can order using the in-room phone. The fried chicken and fries were very good; the portion was easily enough for two people or more.
Regarding amenities, the bakery on the first floor of the hotel was bustling, mostly with local Koreans. I thought the taste was good, and the salt bread was particularly nice.
The hotel lobby was almost always full, and there were constant business meetings and events happening on the left side, so you see a continuous stream of locals.
The hotel offers a free shuttle bus, but you need to check the schedule carefully. Since I didn't use it, I can't offer advice.
On either side of the hotel are Aesop and Moynat stores, and Shilla Duty Free is just a five-minute walk away.
If your itinerary is well-planned and not rushed, staying at The Shilla is a great choice. It's not far to get to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seochon, Bukchon, Myeongdong, Seongsu-dong, and Hannam-dong by taxi from here. However, if you're trying to pack a lot into your schedule and rely mainly on the subway, it might not be as suitable. Seoul traffic can be quite bad.

If you're reading this review, you should probably look for another hotel.
1️⃣ **Cons**
**I. Guest Rooms**
1. **Facilities are mediocre.** They're not even as good as the Park Hyatt Beijing or Shanghai. On my last night, I noticed the bathroom cabinet door wouldn't stay shut (I have a video), but since I had an early flight the next day, I didn't bother asking for a room change.
2. **Room Assignment.**
* **Floor Level.** I assumed the Park Hyatt Seoul wouldn't require multiple elevator transfers, but they put me on the 5th floor. To get to the 2nd-floor restaurant or the ground floor, I had to go up first, as the lobby is on the 24th floor. If many guests are waiting for the elevator, it can take ages to go up, and even longer to go down if it's crowded. I'd advise any Chinese guests reading this to specifically request a high floor, even if not for the view, then at least for convenience.
* **Room Location.** I chose a room not facing the street, which was very quiet. If you need peace and quiet, you can request a non-street-facing room, as there's still a lot of ongoing construction near the street, and I'm not sure if it causes noise disturbances at night.
**II. Breakfast**
1. **Restaurant Size.** The breakfast restaurant is incredibly tiny, feeling about the size of a cramped old bathroom in Beijing. When it gets busy, you have to wait for ages, and there are only six waiting seats, so you often have to stand.
2. **Taste.** Very, very mediocre. Avoid it if you can. If you're purely after nice plating and good service, then go for it.
3. **Inconsistent Standards.** On the first day, I ordered the beef patty toast (떡갈비 토스트) and waited over 20 minutes for it. When it arrived, it was rock hard. I thought it was a special feature and was confused as I cut it, but I still ate it, haha. The next day, I ordered the same beef patty toast (떡갈비 토스트), and it arrived in less than five minutes, with soft, crispy bread. I was truly amazed. If you absolutely have to have breakfast, start nudging them if your order isn't served within five minutes; don't waste your time.
4. **Specialty.** It's called Park Hyatt Seoul, but there's barely anything related to Korea. There are some items, but not many. If you want to experience Korean culture, don't book this hotel.
**III. Room Amenities & Facilities**
1. **In-Room Dining Menu.** The booklet was full of torn pages, and combined with the terrible breakfast, turning a page made me lose all desire to order anything. The prices were actually fine for hotel dining.
2. **Toilet Stall.** In my twin room, the toilet stall didn't seem to have an exhaust fan. It took a while for odors to dissipate. If you're particular about cleanliness, definitely don't book here.
3. **Central Air Conditioning.** It's incredibly loud. If you're sensitive to noise, don't book this hotel.
2️⃣ **Pros**
**I. Service.** I can only say the service was genuinely excellent. From the greeters to the front desk and room service, it deserves full marks; it was very comfortable. However, if service is your only priority, I still recommend looking elsewhere.
**II. Location.** The location is great. You can walk through an underground passage directly to COEX and Hyundai Department Store. But considering all the cons mentioned above, you'd be better off booking the Grand InterContinental Parnas, which is right downstairs.
3️⃣ **Finally**
I must have too much time on my hands to write all this, but I hope this review helps everyone. If you're considering other hotels near COEX, you can skip this one. Very disappointed.Dari€ 385

The Incheon Airport Bus 6001 takes you directly to the hotel in just over an hour. If you have a lot of luggage, I highly recommend taking the bus as it's quite convenient. It costs 17,000 KRW per person. The room was clean and tidy, and there's free coffee on the third floor. Check-in was easy with basic English communication. If you turn left when you exit the hotel, there's an underpass that leads to the subway station.

I would give 10 stars if that option is available. We were a bit worried when we read reviews about the cleanliness of the rooms and did a thorough check upon check in (bed bugs? Dust? Suspicious stains?) and found none. Also, I booked the rooms to be near Myeongdong Station but it was a bit of a walk with our luggages and I thought “that was it… how is this near any station?” And then we found Euljiro (3) station at our doorstep! The rest of the day and the rest of our journey became a breeze!
It is actually a short walk to Myeongdong station once we figured out the location, hotel is opposite plenty of restaurants.
We left our luggages at the counter before and after check in and both times our luggages were well taken care of.
If I have to nitpick, the lift took a longer time than usual to arrive at our level esp during check in check out because lobby is at level 4. People are pressing to go up and down level 4 and 1 so waiting time increased.
That’s actually ok though, just leave the room earlier. We’re travelling, just leave earlier and everything is good anywhere.
To summarise, if we travel back to Seoul, we will come back to Four Points by Sheraton Josun Myeongdong Seoul. Get every word right because there is another Four Points by Sheraton Josun and we have no experience with that one.Dari€ 161

There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, but it's a bit far from the subway, making it inconvenient to get to tourist attractions. The hotel facilities are dated; the TV is as small as a computer monitor, and the toilet isn't a smart one. On our first night, the toilet clogged twice, and the repairman couldn't fix it. It was overflowing with water in the middle of the night, forcing us to switch rooms. Mr. Li at the front desk provided excellent service.

This hotel is really easy to find and pretty standard for a 3-star. When I walked into the room, it was wonderfully cool – not sure what kind of insulation magic they're using! The outlets are super versatile, fitting UK, EU, and US plugs, so my Chinese charger worked directly without an adapter. They use these fancy inward-opening, tilt-and-turn aluminum windows, which meant absolutely no noise from outside. The TV can be swiveled and has CCTV-4 and 9. There's a small safe, too. No complimentary bottled water, but there's a mini-fridge. They don't provide disposable toothbrushes, but you'll find towels, bath towels, shampoo, and hand soap. Right in front of the hotel is an old restaurant, Wujiu Restaurant, a real classic. Turn right, and there are several more eateries.

This really looks like a resort hotel. The front desk staff's English isn't great, and the location is a bit out of the way – there aren't even any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby. It's quite close to the Dongbusan outlet mall though.
The entire hotel complex is very fancy and huge. The parking lot is massive and luxurious, but there are so many cars... Check-in is on the 10th floor, and there were no bellhops or any signs to guide us.
After checking in, no one told us where our room was, they just gave me a map... It took us half an hour to find it, circling around the hotel. I didn't see any staff during that time, and I was getting pretty annoyed.
The room itself is quite large, but both the room and public areas show clear signs of wear and tear (lots of dirty marks on the walls, poorly maintained).
The view is great though; you can see the ocean from the balcony and even catch the sunrise, although the angle is a bit off :)
What I found most unacceptable was that the body wash/shampoo was just soap. It lathered up incredibly slowly and barely produced any suds. With my normal length but somewhat thick hair, just getting it to lather took me 15 minutes! It seriously prolonged my shower time. A truly awful experience.
If you don't mind these things or bring your own toiletries and just care about the view, then this place is for you – the scenery is unbeatable. But all in all, I don't think it's worth the price. It's a hotel that's all style and no substance.Dari€ 401

This Toyoko Inn is really a mixed bag.
The good points are that it's very close to the beach and the room rate is cheap. A single room for just over 300 [currency unit] and you can walk to the beach in five minutes. Downstairs, they offer free combs, facial cleanser, makeup remover, and lotion.
The downsides are that it's extremely crowded. When I checked in, it was fully booked. The elevators are incredibly slow – there are 4 elevators for 22 floors, and they seem to stop on almost every floor. The breakfast was the worst out of all the Toyoko Inns I've stayed at! There's hardly anything to eat, and it's incredibly noisy because of the crowds. I'd recommend skipping it and finding something to eat outside. The cleanliness wasn't great either; I found a hair on the toilet when I checked in.

This male staff member initially assigned me to the third floor (out of 22 floors). After I requested a room change, he moved me to the ninth floor, right next to the elevator.

supreme location, can see half view of the ocean and right at the beach. decent service. has a kitchenette, wardrobe, fridge, stovetop, etc. beds were comfy enough. not too hard, and pillow is not too soft.
what can be improved:
- water pressure for the showerhead is quite weak. please change the water pressure to make it higher…
- for some reason they keep giving tiny hotels by default and did not provide large bath towels. housekeeping keeps replenishing with ONLY small face towels. had to request from the reception every single time. it was quite puzzling why large bath towels were not automatically provided or replenished.
it was a bit hard to find the entrance though… can be confused for seacloud hotel which is another hotel that’s connected to the same building. signage for suncloud hotel is not prominent enough and only in korean. to get to suncloud, u need to go up the building for seacloud, go to 4th floor which is seacloud’s reception, then walk to the other lift to get to 6th floor of the next building for the suncloud reception.Dari€ 101

If you are looking for a stay with a view in Busan, Hotel Adela offers some fantastic visual perks, though it comes with a few logistical ”hurdles”—quite literally, if you end up taking the stairs! Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect.
The Room & Amenities
The first thing you’ll notice is the generous room size. Unlike many cramped city hotels, there is plenty of space to move around.
The View: The highlight of the stay is undoubtedly the stunning harbor view. Watching the bridge light up at night is a great way to wind down.
Comfort: The beds are comfortable and provide a good night’s rest.
Condition: While the room is clean, some of the furniture is starting to show its age and feels a bit dated.
Facilities: Basic toiletries, drinking water, tea, and coffee are all provided. Note that the toilet and bathtub are in the same space (not separated).
Climate Control: Be aware that during winter and early spring, the air conditioning is disabled. If the room gets too warm, you’ll need to crack the window to let the crisp Busan air in.
The Elevator Challenge (The Biggest Downside)
The most significant drawback is the elevator situation. The hotel only has three elevators, which is insufficient for a building of this size—especially since it is a popular choice for large tour groups from Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
Peak Hours: Between 7:30 AM – 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, the elevators are perpetually packed.
The Struggle: It can be so challenging to catch a lift that I actually had to walk down the stairs from the 15th floor to the lobby. If you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, this is a major factor to consider.
Dining & Convenience
On-site Eats: There is a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant on the 2nd floor that is definitely worth a try—the taste is quite good!
Convenience: A CU convenience store is located right in the lobby, which is incredibly handy for late-night snacks or essentials.
Breakfast Tip: I recommend skipping the hotel breakfast package. The restaurant is on the 24th floor, meaning you have to wait for the elevator to go up, and then wait again to get back down to the lobby to start your day. You’ll save money and time by eating at one of the many local spots nearby.
Location & Accessibility
The location is a strong point for shoppers and explorers:
Metro: About a 7–8 minute walk to Nampo Station.
Shopping: Very close to Lotte Shopping Mall and the famous Gwangbok-ro Shopping Street.
Note: The building is shared with another hotel (North Harbor Hotel), which contributes to the high foot traffic in the lobby and elevators.
Hotel Adela is a solid choice if you value a spacious room with a beautiful view and want to stay near the Nampo-dong action. However, the elevator delays are a serious test of patience. If you choose to stay here, try to avoid traveling in and out of the hotel during peak tour group hours!
Pack your patience for the lobby wait, and definitely grab some fried chicken on the second floor!Dari€ 59

The single room was a bit too small for two adults, which made it uncomfortable (though that's on us for being on a tight budget, my husband kept complaining, haha). The air conditioner made a strange noise at night, which was a little startling. The bedding and sheets looked clean overall, but upon closer inspection, I found black marks that seemed to have white cover-up smeared over them (not sure what it was). Thanks to the front desk for giving us a relatively high floor. Other than that, everything was fine. Breakfast was decent, and the breakfast room had a great view. The washing and drying machines were a bit expensive to use (3000+4000), especially compared to hotels in Haeundae where it's only 2000+2000.Dari€ 40

Location is great, staff very friendly, the hotel is clean. I would recommend to stay here. It's comfortable, our room was spacious. The bed was definitely okay. We didn't spend a lot of time here because it's so conviently close to the metro and bus station!
My minor complaint is that the bathroom faucet is too close to the sink, leaving you no room to actually use the water without touching the edge of the sink or making a mess. The other minor complaint is the automatic light in the bathroom turns off while using the toilet or taking a shower.Dari€ 53

Facilities: There's a gym available, and you can pay extra for breakfast and lunch. The lunch here is surprisingly good and much more cost-effective than eating out, especially compared to a BBQ meal. The entire hotel looks very new and fresh, making it a pleasant stay.
Cleanliness: The room was clean and tidy, which made for a very comfortable experience. It's a bit far from the city center, but that has its advantages – it's incredibly quiet, perfect for a business trip. There are plenty of food options nearby; you can find everything just by walking around downstairs. I only had BBQ once in four days, but I explored the area multiple times.
Service: Everyone greets you with 'Ari-ari-assayo.' The front desk staff don't speak Chinese, but they all speak English. A lovely lady at the Chinese restaurant speaks excellent Chinese. Bed linen and towels were changed promptly. Overall, the service was great.Dari€ 85

The good
- clean room
- very comfortable bed and bedding
- great sound proofing within the hotel
- great if you’re going out all day
The bad
- I stayed 4 days and there was only 1x housekeeping. I was told this on check in. But this was not on the booking details. You have to inform them before 1pm each day.
- a semi wet bathroom
- facing the main road, you can hear the vehicles (I was on the 7th floor)
- toiletries are not provided and need to be purchased from vending machine (not a problem but should be listed on booking)
- other than Nampo, and Jalgachi seafood market. There’s not much around, and it’s quite far from everything else in Busan.
- I asked for an extra pillow 1 night, and the front desk said “house keeping has closed for the day”. Ok even if that’s the case, surely they can go into the store room themselves to get me an extra pillow. I wasn’t asking for them to clean or anything.

THE GOOD
It's important to understand that this is an affordable hostel with a view but is not as fancy as it may seem in the photos. You're not going to get a luxury, super-comfortable stay with a bay view at this low of price. Speaking of the view, it's very nice during the day and at night from the top floor breakfast room and the bay view rooms on the levels right below it. Speaking of breakfast, you do have to cook the eggs yourself, but there are three burners and some other good food options, too. We also had a great experience with the staff at the reception desk, who were friendly, helpful, and apologetic about any issues. The WiFi was good, with a modem and router in each room. The location is great, too, if you love shopping streets, street food, fish markets, wharfs, and a more locals side of Busan. Access to the subway and buses is incredible, so you can get over to Haeudae Beach, Gwangali Beach, Dadaepo Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan Station (for trains to Seoul and Gyeongju), and more, but if you want to frequent Haeudae, it's kind of a long haul from here.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD
Our bay view room was a bit gimmicky, because while the view was nice, the room is quite small, has flimsy furniture, and lacks hooks (except the one in the window where the sun will fade your clothes). The wall of windows is cool to look through, but in May, we had the curtains closed 99% of the time because the south-facing room gets blasted by the sun and the AC isn't powerful enough to counteract it. The room was in need of maintenance, too, with ruined flooring due to a poor bathroom door design and things starting to fall apart in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, if you need 100% total privacy, it may not work for you. The shade over the very large window is barely sufficient in its thickness, and it has a two-inch gap on either side where you can see down to the street 9 stories below (see photo). You have to stand in a specific spot in the bathroom while showering with the handheld showerhead in order to feel entirely private, and you have to be very careful to not spray the leaky door. We also discovered that things that aren't used regularly can be dusty, and we found dust bunnies in the hallways. The bed also had a firm, squeaky spring mattress that didn't encourage the greatest sleep. If you're a backpacker or budget traveler like us, you'll find this place passable (especially for the price, location, and breakfast), but if you have normal hotel standards, this hostel may not meet them.Dari€ 29

Ease of Check-in: This hostel is conveniently located in Nampo-dong, close to Busan Station, making transportation very easy. Even arriving at Busan Station around 1 AM on check-in day, there was still a bus to the hostel, and there are direct airport buses nearby. The surrounding Nampo-dong commercial district offers super convenient options for dining, entertainment, and shopping.
Security: There's a dedicated area for female guests, requiring key card access for entry and exit. Rooms also have lockers with locks.
Facilities: I booked a 5-person room. Although not large, the room was very clean and bright. The beds had curtains, and the bedding was comfortable. There were plenty of power outlets and good lighting by the bed. While the hostel isn't huge, it's very cozy. The toilets and showers are quite spacious. Free breakfast is provided (it's simple, and you need to prepare it yourself). The kitchen is well-equipped with cutlery and cooking utensils. The water dispenser even has an ice-making function.
Cleanliness & Environment: The hostel is generally quiet, and the cleanliness is excellent – super clean!
Service: Most accommodations in Korea operate with self-check-in, and this hostel doesn't have a 24-hour front desk. However, the hostel consistently sends out emails to guests beforehand with detailed check-in guides and reminders, making the overall check-in process very smooth. The room key card also feels high-quality.
It truly lives up to its high ratings and great value for money in Busan. Highly recommended! 👍Dari€ 14
✈️ Seoul to Busan by Flight
At first glance, flying from Seoul to Busan sounds like it should be the fastest option. But after actually looking into it (and comparing all the transfers), you’ll realize it’s not always as convenient as it seems. This option is mainly used by locals or travelers who manage to get cheap flight deals, but for most tourists, it’s usually not the top choice.
⏱️ Flight Time (Air Time vs Total Time)
- ✈️ Flight time: around 1 hour
- 🚕 Total travel time (including airport transfers + waiting): 3.5 to 5 hours
Even though the flight itself is short, you still need to factor in:
- Airport check-in
- Security clearance
- Travel to/from airports
📍 Airports You Will Use
- ✅ Seoul (Gimpo Airport / sometimes Incheon Airport)
- ✅ Busan (Gimhae International Airport)
💡 Most domestic flights use Gimpo Airport, which is closer to Seoul city compared to Incheon.
💰 Ticket Price
- Around RM 100-300+
- Prices change a lot depending on booking time and promotions
Sometimes you can find cheap deals, but peak season flights can be quite expensive.
🎫 Airlines Operating This Route
- Korean Air
- Asiana Airlines
- Jeju Air
- Air Busan
There are multiple daily flights, so timing is quite flexible.

🚖 Seoul to Busan by Taxi / Private Car
If you’re looking for the most comfortable but also the most expensive way to travel from Seoul to Busan, then a taxi or private car is technically possible. But it’s not commonly used by tourists unless you’re traveling in a group. I’ll be honest, this option feels more like a “luxury or convenience” choice rather than a practical one.
⏱️ Travel Time
- Around 4 to 5 hours
- Depends on traffic and rest stops along the way
It’s similar to bus or driving, but with more flexibility.
💰 Estimated Cost
- Around RM 800-1,600+ one way
- Price depends on car type, service, and number of passengers
💡 If you split the cost with 3–4 people, it becomes slightly more reasonable.
📍 How It Works
- You can book a private transfer service
- Or hire a taxi for long-distance travel (less common)
- Pickup directly from your hotel in Seoul
- Drop-off anywhere in Busan (hotel, Airbnb, etc.)

Each room comes with a KRW 50,000 gift card: I forgot how to use this one.
Located in Myeongdong, it's an older five-star hotel. Because it's an older five-star, the building is a bit low-rise and not very prominent in Myeongdong (as a person bad with directions, I had to use navigation every time to get back to the hotel).
The Airport Limousine Bus 6701 goes directly there, which is super convenient!

Facilities: Well-equipped.

The view is great, and as a suite, it's generally very good with no major drawbacks. The suite includes breakfast, afternoon tea, and happy hour. I didn't take photos of the breakfast, but it was extremely rich and delicious. Afternoon tea is shown in the pictures; there were no alcoholic beverages. The lighting and curtains are all smart-controlled, and there's an iPad by the bed to contact the hotel for requests. The space is also ample. The shower water pressure is excellent; both the overhead and handheld showers can be used simultaneously, and there's a seat. Various types of pillows are provided, such as memory foam pillows. Seoul's air quality is often poor, so the room is equipped with an air purifier, and you can call to have a humidifier delivered.
The location is convenient, with the subway station just a 5-minute walk away.
If I had to point out a drawback, the hotel has indeed been open for a number of years, and some basic features are a bit old. For example, the air conditioning lacks any advanced functions like scheduled shut-off; it only has a single temperature and fan speed setting.Dari€ 598

This is a decent hotel, right next to Shinsegae Department Store, and directly outside Exit 7 of Hoehyeon Subway Station. There's a large ramp leading up to the lobby on the first floor, but you have to go to the seventh floor to check in. It seems like there's a police station building nearby with an escalator that takes you right to the lobby entrance.
The hotel gave me a room on a higher floor, the 25th floor, which I believe is the top floor for guest rooms, but it was a corner room. The room layout was a bit odd; the room itself wasn't very big, with not much space beyond the bed, but the bathroom was exceptionally large, almost the same size as the room. There was a connecting door to the adjacent room, which was a suite. From the layout, this room seemed designed as a maid's room for the adjoining suite. When I complained about the corner room to the front desk, I was told that all rooms of this type are corner rooms, likely due to the design. Those who dislike corner rooms should consider this carefully.
The mattress in the room was exceptionally high. Before arriving, I had requested a baby crib, but the hotel didn't reserve one for me that day and instead provided a rail. This rail was hard to describe – it made little difference from having nothing at all. There's a tablet by the bed that controls the mattress and air conditioning. You can directly order bath towels, water, ice, etc., and even send text requests to the front desk.
The hotel appears to be a recommended hotel by LV. Upon check-in, I received an invitation to the LV exhibition, where you could get an LV canvas bag at the Shinsegae LV exhibition across the street. Overall, the hotel is quite good, with medium value for money.Dari€ 215

I always used to do my 'hotelcation' at Lotte, but this time I stayed at the Grand Hyatt, and it was an excellent choice! 🫶👍 I regret not coming to the Hyatt sooner, honestly. Haha.
True Wellness Point 1: The location and views are perfect for a quiet hotelcation and refreshing stay. 🫶 Even if it costs more, absolutely make sure to book a Namsan view or Han River view room! There's no need to wait in line at crowded cafes or rooftop cafes in the heat; you can relax in your room and fully enjoy a cafe-like atmosphere. If you convert time into money, this is much more reasonable. 🍀 Cafes in the central Hannam-dong area typically charge 5,500 to 7,500 KRW for an iced Americano. Hotel guests can buy an iced Americano from the 1st-floor deli for 6,500 KRW. ❤️
Wellness Point 2: There's a walking path connected to Namsan, so you can take a stroll after breakfast or even walk to Namsan Tower along the trail. ⭐ Truly the best! 🤗 Another great tip 👉 If you exit through the side path in the parking lot to the left of the hotel's main entrance (instead of the main entrance itself), you'll find Korean restaurants, convenience stores, and rooftop cafes. If the breakfast feels a bit too rich, you can easily balance it with some Korean food. ✨ The central commercial area of Hannam-dong, Itaewon, and Haebangchon are all within basic taxi fare distance, which is very convenient. 🫶
Wellness Point 3: If outdoor activities are too difficult in the heat, you can visit the Leeum Museum of Art right in front of the hotel to enjoy an exhibition and find some mental relaxation.
Downsides: If I had to find any, the gym gets crowded. You need to be quick for breakfast. And if you go to the deli shop late in the afternoon, the salads are often sold out.Dari€ 277

The room was really tiny. Whatever you do, don't buy any package deals, like the one for Petite France – it's incredibly far, like an hour and a half to two hours away, and you can't even get a refund. It doesn't really feel like a five-star hotel; more like a four-star. You can walk to Myeongdong in about 20 minutes from the hotel by taking the underground passage straight from Dongdaemun. But I found Korea to be quite run down, with power lines everywhere. Unless you're a big K-pop fan or love concerts, a trip to Korea can be pretty disappointing.

The Koreana Hotel truly stands as a representative hotel in Korea, embodying understated luxury and elegance. It's nestled in the heart of Seoul, right next to Gwanghwamun Square and Cheonggyecheon Stream, offering stunning distant views of Namsan Mountain, especially beautiful at night.
Opened in 1972, the Koreana Hotel played a significant role in international events, operating the main press center restaurant during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and later the Paralympics Athletes' Village restaurant. It has consistently served as an important hub for hosting international guests!
We booked the Koreana Hotel this time because we had tickets for the Harry Potter 25th Anniversary Concert at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts on Friday evening from 7-9 PM. ^u^
For check-in, you need to prepare your ID card or passport. We were given a fantastic room on the 15th floor with an unparalleled night view. We are truly grateful for the hotel's excellent care!
Although the room is around 30 square meters, it actually felt like 50 square meters. The decor is luxurious French style, comfortable yet elegant, and perfectly quiet. I had expected it to be somewhat old, but it's incredibly well-maintained and renovated, and the TV even connects directly to YouTube – a clear sign of how the world is changing and hotels are continuously improving!
The bedding was also excellent with a very comfortable mattress. For travelers, getting a good night's rest, relaxing completely, and waking up refreshed and energized for the next day is crucial, and we both slept wonderfully!
The room came with an iPad for ordering room service and hotel amenities, allowing many tasks to be completed quietly, which I absolutely loved. The hotel's response was incredibly fast; service requests were delivered within 5-10 minutes! We ordered abalone porridge for breakfast, and it was delivered promptly 20 minutes after we scheduled the preparation time.

The hygiene is just okay; I found a hair on the bed, and the bedding felt a bit old and worn. The duvet was also a little thin. The bathroom has a bathtub, which isn't very convenient; I think it would be better to remove it, though that might be too costly.

The hotel is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of City Hall Station, Namdaemun Market, Deoksugung Palace, and many restaurants and convenience stores.

Overall, for Seoul, where finding new hotels is a challenge, this one is pretty decent (the facilities feel new). The Four Seasons was booked, and other options (old/many bad reviews) were simply not appealing.
1. The bedding is just okay, a bit firm. But generally acceptable. There's a Type-C port on the side of the headboard, so no adapter is needed.
2. The public areas are quite comfortable and spacious! The entrance is on B1, which offers good privacy (no ground-floor entrance).
3. The pool and sauna are also quite pleasant and worth checking out.
4. Didn't get a chance to try breakfast. For lunch that day, I opted for in-room dining, and the ox bone soup with rice was decent (perhaps because I was quite hungry).
Booked through Trip.com, and they helped me get an upgrade to a corner river view room!
Also, I was able to check in around 1:10 PM, which was great! Room service took about 20 minutes, very responsive!
In the evening, I tried the lounge bar, which offered good value for money and a nice ambiance!
By the way, although the in-room toothbrushes are marked as chargeable, they are essentially not charged. I guess it's a balance between Korean legislation and customer service, haha!Dari€ 507

I stayed at this hotel while visiting Korea for a health check-up at Korea University Guro Hospital, and my first impression was excellent thanks to the incredibly kind front desk staff. Since I needed to drink a lot of water for my colonoscopy preparation, they generously provided plenty of bottled water and showed such warm hospitality throughout my stay.
I stayed in Room 803, and the small private balcony with a beautiful city view was absolutely wonderful. I stayed with my mother, and the bedding was so clean and comfortable that I was able to forget my worries about the health check-up the next day and sleep very peacefully.
Another thing I really appreciated was the taxi stand located right outside the hotel. Since I did not have a Korean phone number, it was difficult to call Kakao Taxi, so having taxis readily available made everything so convenient. It only cost about 5,800 won to comfortably get to Korea University Guro Hospital.

The location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk from both Line 2 and Line 5 subway stations. It's also not too far to walk to Line 4, Myeongdong (great for shopping!), and Lotte Duty-Free, maybe about 10-15 minutes.

My stay perfectly matched my expectations for The Shilla Seoul; if you're looking for an old-money vibe, this is a great fit.
Hardware-wise, for a hotel with some history, it felt newer than I anticipated, and the crystal chandelier in the lobby is absolutely stunning.
The room size was just right, with a wet and dry bathroom featuring a separate shower and bathtub.
The windows and the view from the room are a major highlight. Even though my room this time didn't face Namsan Tower, it was still excellent.
You'll need to bring your own toothpaste and toothbrush, but cotton swabs and shower caps are provided.
The mini-fridge, snacks, and minibar are all chargeable.
In terms of service, from getting out of the car to reaching my room, it met the high standards of a five-star hotel. The front desk staff spoke excellent English, and one even spoke Chinese to me during checkout (though I don't expect all of them to).
This time, I also made sure to try the Room Service. The menu is in the desk drawer, and you can order using the in-room phone. The fried chicken and fries were very good; the portion was easily enough for two people or more.
Regarding amenities, the bakery on the first floor of the hotel was bustling, mostly with local Koreans. I thought the taste was good, and the salt bread was particularly nice.
The hotel lobby was almost always full, and there were constant business meetings and events happening on the left side, so you see a continuous stream of locals.
The hotel offers a free shuttle bus, but you need to check the schedule carefully. Since I didn't use it, I can't offer advice.
On either side of the hotel are Aesop and Moynat stores, and Shilla Duty Free is just a five-minute walk away.
If your itinerary is well-planned and not rushed, staying at The Shilla is a great choice. It's not far to get to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seochon, Bukchon, Myeongdong, Seongsu-dong, and Hannam-dong by taxi from here. However, if you're trying to pack a lot into your schedule and rely mainly on the subway, it might not be as suitable. Seoul traffic can be quite bad.

If you're reading this review, you should probably look for another hotel.
1️⃣ **Cons**
**I. Guest Rooms**
1. **Facilities are mediocre.** They're not even as good as the Park Hyatt Beijing or Shanghai. On my last night, I noticed the bathroom cabinet door wouldn't stay shut (I have a video), but since I had an early flight the next day, I didn't bother asking for a room change.
2. **Room Assignment.**
* **Floor Level.** I assumed the Park Hyatt Seoul wouldn't require multiple elevator transfers, but they put me on the 5th floor. To get to the 2nd-floor restaurant or the ground floor, I had to go up first, as the lobby is on the 24th floor. If many guests are waiting for the elevator, it can take ages to go up, and even longer to go down if it's crowded. I'd advise any Chinese guests reading this to specifically request a high floor, even if not for the view, then at least for convenience.
* **Room Location.** I chose a room not facing the street, which was very quiet. If you need peace and quiet, you can request a non-street-facing room, as there's still a lot of ongoing construction near the street, and I'm not sure if it causes noise disturbances at night.
**II. Breakfast**
1. **Restaurant Size.** The breakfast restaurant is incredibly tiny, feeling about the size of a cramped old bathroom in Beijing. When it gets busy, you have to wait for ages, and there are only six waiting seats, so you often have to stand.
2. **Taste.** Very, very mediocre. Avoid it if you can. If you're purely after nice plating and good service, then go for it.
3. **Inconsistent Standards.** On the first day, I ordered the beef patty toast (떡갈비 토스트) and waited over 20 minutes for it. When it arrived, it was rock hard. I thought it was a special feature and was confused as I cut it, but I still ate it, haha. The next day, I ordered the same beef patty toast (떡갈비 토스트), and it arrived in less than five minutes, with soft, crispy bread. I was truly amazed. If you absolutely have to have breakfast, start nudging them if your order isn't served within five minutes; don't waste your time.
4. **Specialty.** It's called Park Hyatt Seoul, but there's barely anything related to Korea. There are some items, but not many. If you want to experience Korean culture, don't book this hotel.
**III. Room Amenities & Facilities**
1. **In-Room Dining Menu.** The booklet was full of torn pages, and combined with the terrible breakfast, turning a page made me lose all desire to order anything. The prices were actually fine for hotel dining.
2. **Toilet Stall.** In my twin room, the toilet stall didn't seem to have an exhaust fan. It took a while for odors to dissipate. If you're particular about cleanliness, definitely don't book here.
3. **Central Air Conditioning.** It's incredibly loud. If you're sensitive to noise, don't book this hotel.
2️⃣ **Pros**
**I. Service.** I can only say the service was genuinely excellent. From the greeters to the front desk and room service, it deserves full marks; it was very comfortable. However, if service is your only priority, I still recommend looking elsewhere.
**II. Location.** The location is great. You can walk through an underground passage directly to COEX and Hyundai Department Store. But considering all the cons mentioned above, you'd be better off booking the Grand InterContinental Parnas, which is right downstairs.
3️⃣ **Finally**
I must have too much time on my hands to write all this, but I hope this review helps everyone. If you're considering other hotels near COEX, you can skip this one. Very disappointed.Dari€ 385

Suspicious stains?) and found none. Also, I booked the rooms to be near Myeongdong Station but it was a bit of a walk with our luggages and I thought “that was it… how is this near any station?” And then we found Euljiro (3) station at our doorstep! The rest of the day and the rest of our journey became a breeze!
It is actually a short walk to Myeongdong station once we figured out the location, hotel is opposite plenty of restaurants.
We left our luggages at the counter before and after check in and both times our luggages were well taken care of.
If I have to nitpick, the lift took a longer time than usual to arrive at our level esp during check in check out because lobby is at level 4. People are pressing to go up and down level 4 and 1 so waiting time increased.
That’s actually ok though, just leave the room earlier. We’re travelling, just leave earlier and everything is good anywhere.

This hotel is really easy to find and pretty standard for a 3-star. When I walked into the room, it was wonderfully cool – not sure what kind of insulation magic they're using! The outlets are super versatile, fitting UK, EU, and US plugs, so my Chinese charger worked directly without an adapter. They use these fancy inward-opening, tilt-and-turn aluminum windows, which meant absolutely no noise from outside. The TV can be swiveled and has CCTV-4 and 9. There's a small safe, too. No complimentary bottled water, but there's a mini-fridge. They don't provide disposable toothbrushes, but you'll find towels, bath towels, shampoo, and hand soap. Right in front of the hotel is an old restaurant, Wujiu Restaurant, a real classic. Turn right, and there are several more eateries. It's just a 10-minute walk to Myeongdong, and the 6015 airport bus stop is conveniently close by.Dari€ 93

The hotel is super nice and worth it! From the staff and check-in to the room and hotel facilities, it's perfect for solo traveler coming to Seoul for concert (wink). The spa area with free laundry was a highlight! Like Dormy Inn in Japan, they serve hot ramen at night - again, perfect for solo traveler! The staff here speaks multiple languages so asking for help/services was definitely fine. The only downside is that this hotel is located pretty uphill, a lot of walking upslope from the nearest train station. Be careful if you are with heavy or big luggage - better take the airport bus 6703 to the hotel even it takes much longer time. And yes, please top up for breakfast - Dormy Inn's breakfast never disappoints meDari€ 94

This really looks like a resort hotel. The front desk staff's English isn't great, and the location is a bit out of the way – there aren't even any convenience stores or supermarkets nearby. It's quite close to the Dongbusan outlet mall though.
The entire hotel complex is very fancy and huge. The parking lot is massive and luxurious, but there are so many cars... Check-in is on the 10th floor, and there were no bellhops or any signs to guide us.
After checking in, no one told us where our room was, they just gave me a map... It took us half an hour to find it, circling around the hotel. I didn't see any staff during that time, and I was getting pretty annoyed.
The room itself is quite large, but both the room and public areas show clear signs of wear and tear (lots of dirty marks on the walls, poorly maintained).
The view is great though; you can see the ocean from the balcony and even catch the sunrise, although the angle is a bit off :)
What I found most unacceptable was that the body wash/shampoo was just soap. It lathered up incredibly slowly and barely produced any suds. With my normal length but somewhat thick hair, just getting it to lather took me 15 minutes! It seriously prolonged my shower time. A truly awful experience.
If you don't mind these things or bring your own toiletries and just care about the view, then this place is for you – the scenery is unbeatable. But all in all, I don't think it's worth the price. It's a hotel that's all style and no substance.Dari€ 401

This Toyoko Inn is really a mixed bag.
The good points are that it's very close to the beach and the room rate is cheap. A single room for just over 300 [currency unit] and you can walk to the beach in five minutes. Downstairs, they offer free combs, facial cleanser, makeup remover, and lotion.
The downsides are that it's extremely crowded. When I checked in, it was fully booked. The elevators are incredibly slow – there are 4 elevators for 22 floors, and they seem to stop on almost every floor. The breakfast was the worst out of all the Toyoko Inns I've stayed at! There's hardly anything to eat, and it's incredibly noisy because of the crowds. I'd recommend skipping it and finding something to eat outside. The cleanliness wasn't great either; I found a hair on the toilet when I checked in.

This male staff member initially assigned me to the third floor (out of 22 floors). After I requested a room change, he moved me to the ninth floor, right next to the elevator. I honestly think he did it on purpose. Later, I found a female front desk staff member who kindly moved me to a quiet room on the 10th floor. Check-in took an entire hour!

room was really huge and spacious.
supreme location, can see half view of the ocean and right at the beach. decent service. has a kitchenette, wardrobe, fridge, stovetop, etc. beds were comfy enough. not too hard, and pillow is not too soft.
what can be improved:
- water pressure for the showerhead is quite weak. please change the water pressure to make it higher…
- for some reason they keep giving tiny hotels by default and did not provide large bath towels. housekeeping keeps replenishing with ONLY small face towels. had to request from the reception every single time. it was quite puzzling why large bath towels were not automatically provided or replenished.
it was a bit hard to find the entrance though… can be confused for seacloud hotel which is another hotel that’s connected to the same building. signage for suncloud hotel is not prominent enough and only in korean. to get to suncloud, u need to go up the building for seacloud, go to 4th floor which is seacloud’s reception, then walk to the other lift to get to 6th floor of the next building for the suncloud reception.Dari€ 101

If you are looking for a stay with a view in Busan, Hotel Adela offers some fantastic visual perks, though it comes with a few logistical ”hurdles”—quite literally, if you end up taking the stairs! Here is a detailed breakdown of what to expect.
The Room & Amenities
The first thing you’ll notice is the generous room size. Unlike many cramped city hotels, there is plenty of space to move around.
The View: The highlight of the stay is undoubtedly the stunning harbor view. Watching the bridge light up at night is a great way to wind down.
Comfort: The beds are comfortable and provide a good night’s rest.
Condition: While the room is clean, some of the furniture is starting to show its age and feels a bit dated.
Facilities: Basic toiletries, drinking water, tea, and coffee are all provided. Note that the toilet and bathtub are in the same space (not separated).
Climate Control: Be aware that during winter and early spring, the air conditioning is disabled. If the room gets too warm, you’ll need to crack the window to let the crisp Busan air in.
The Elevator Challenge (The Biggest Downside)
The most significant drawback is the elevator situation. The hotel only has three elevators, which is insufficient for a building of this size—especially since it is a popular choice for large tour groups from Taiwan, Thailand, and Hong Kong.
Peak Hours: Between 7:30 AM – 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM, the elevators are perpetually packed.
The Struggle: It can be so challenging to catch a lift that I actually had to walk down the stairs from the 15th floor to the lobby. If you have mobility issues or heavy luggage, this is a major factor to consider.
Dining & Convenience
On-site Eats: There is a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant on the 2nd floor that is definitely worth a try—the taste is quite good!
Convenience: A CU convenience store is located right in the lobby, which is incredibly handy for late-night snacks or essentials.
Breakfast Tip: I recommend skipping the hotel breakfast package. The restaurant is on the 24th floor, meaning you have to wait for the elevator to go up, and then wait again to get back down to the lobby to start your day. You’ll save money and time by eating at one of the many local spots nearby.
Location & Accessibility
The location is a strong point for shoppers and explorers:
Metro: About a 7–8 minute walk to Nampo Station.
Shopping: Very close to Lotte Shopping Mall and the famous Gwangbok-ro Shopping Street.
Note: The building is shared with another hotel (North Harbor Hotel), which contributes to the high foot traffic in the lobby and elevators.
Hotel Adela is a solid choice if you value a spacious room with a beautiful view and want to stay near the Nampo-dong action. However, the elevator delays are a serious test of patience. If you choose to stay here, try to avoid traveling in and out of the hotel during peak tour group hours!
Pack your patience for the lobby wait, and definitely grab some fried chicken on the second floor!Dari€ 59

This hotel is walking distance from Busan KTX exit 1. You will see Tokyo Inn, is behind the alley. Very convenient. The bathtub is outside the bathroom. There are shampoo, shower gel, hair condition. There is no toothbrush, need to bring your own. If not 2,000won to buy at counter.
Generally quite ok, need to shift here and there for 2 luggages. Sound proof, didnt hear any noise at all.Dari€ 58

I took my daughter to Busan late at night and hurriedly booked a hotel. Although it was already more than 10 o'clock in the evening, please help me to check in.
We booked a double room, but the staff upgraded us to a twin room so that we could rest comfortably.
There is also a Metro Line 1 bus station in front of the hotel, which can be reached in 3 minutes, and the traffic is very convenient~Very Good75 Ulasan

The room was spacious and clean. It was great for everyone to relax together, though it was a bit disappointing that the sofa was small. Bathrobes were provided for everyone, and it was nice that the sink, shower, and toilet were all separate.Dari€ 29

The good
- clean room
- very comfortable bed and bedding
- great sound proofing within the hotel
- great if you’re going out all day
The bad
- I stayed 4 days and there was only 1x housekeeping. I was told this on check in. But this was not on the booking details. You have to inform them before 1pm each day.
- a semi wet bathroom
- facing the main road, you can hear the vehicles (I was on the 7th floor)
- toiletries are not provided and need to be purchased from vending machine (not a problem but should be listed on booking)
- other than Nampo, and Jalgachi seafood market. There’s not much around, and it’s quite far from everything else in Busan.
- I asked for an extra pillow 1 night, and the front desk said “house keeping has closed for the day”. Ok even if that’s the case, surely they can go into the store room themselves to get me an extra pillow. I wasn’t asking for them to clean or anything.
- this weird vending machine looking thing was also on my counter and it didn’t even work. No clue what it’s for.Dari€ 56

THE GOOD
It's important to understand that this is an affordable hostel with a view but is not as fancy as it may seem in the photos. You're not going to get a luxury, super-comfortable stay with a bay view at this low of price. Speaking of the view, it's very nice during the day and at night from the top floor breakfast room and the bay view rooms on the levels right below it. Speaking of breakfast, you do have to cook the eggs yourself, but there are three burners and some other good food options, too. We also had a great experience with the staff at the reception desk, who were friendly, helpful, and apologetic about any issues. The WiFi was good, with a modem and router in each room. The location is great, too, if you love shopping streets, street food, fish markets, wharfs, and a more locals side of Busan. Access to the subway and buses is incredible, so you can get over to Haeudae Beach, Gwangali Beach, Dadaepo Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan Station (for trains to Seoul and Gyeongju), and more, but if you want to frequent Haeudae, it's kind of a long haul from here.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD
Our bay view room was a bit gimmicky, because while the view was nice, the room is quite small, has flimsy furniture, and lacks hooks (except the one in the window where the sun will fade your clothes). The wall of windows is cool to look through, but in May, we had the curtains closed 99% of the time because the south-facing room gets blasted by the sun and the AC isn't powerful enough to counteract it. The room was in need of maintenance, too, with ruined flooring due to a poor bathroom door design and things starting to fall apart in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, if you need 100% total privacy, it may not work for you. The shade over the very large window is barely sufficient in its thickness, and it has a two-inch gap on either side where you can see down to the street 9 stories below (see photo). You have to stand in a specific spot in the bathroom while showering with the handheld showerhead in order to feel entirely private, and you have to be very careful to not spray the leaky door. We also discovered that things that aren't used regularly can be dusty, and we found dust bunnies in the hallways. The bed also had a firm, squeaky spring mattress that didn't encourage the greatest sleep. If you're a backpacker or budget traveler like us, you'll find this place passable (especially for the price, location, and breakfast), but if you have normal hotel standards, this hostel may not meet them.Dari€ 29

The room was spacious and the underfloor heating was excellent. It's also very close to the subway station and there's a convenient store right downstairs. Super convenient! The bathroom with separate wet and dry areas was large and comfortable. I'll definitely stay here again next time.Dari€ 44

Ease of Check-in: This hostel is conveniently located in Nampo-dong, close to Busan Station, making transportation very easy. Even arriving at Busan Station around 1 AM on check-in day, there was still a bus to the hostel, and there are direct airport buses nearby. The surrounding Nampo-dong commercial district offers super convenient options for dining, entertainment, and shopping.
Security: There's a dedicated area for female guests, requiring key card access for entry and exit. Rooms also have lockers with locks.
Facilities: I booked a 5-person room. Although not large, the room was very clean and bright. The beds had curtains, and the bedding was comfortable. There were plenty of power outlets and good lighting by the bed. While the hostel isn't huge, it's very cozy. The toilets and showers are quite spacious. Free breakfast is provided (it's simple, and you need to prepare it yourself). The kitchen is well-equipped with cutlery and cooking utensils. The water dispenser even has an ice-making function.
Cleanliness & Environment: The hostel is generally quiet, and the cleanliness is excellent – super clean!
Service: Most accommodations in Korea operate with self-check-in, and this hostel doesn't have a 24-hour front desk. However, the hostel consistently sends out emails to guests beforehand with detailed check-in guides and reminders, making the overall check-in process very smooth. The room key card also feels high-quality.
It truly lives up to its high ratings and great value for money in Busan. Highly recommended! 👍Dari€ 14
💡 Which Option is Best?
After comparing all the ways to travel from Seoul to Busan, the “best” option really depends on your budget, time, and travel style. There’s no one-size-fits-all answer... But I’ll make it super simple for you to decide.
🏆 Quick Summary
- 🚄 KTX Train → Best overall (fast + convenient)
- 🚌 Bus → Best for budget travellers
- ✈️ Flight → Only worth it with cheap deals
- 🚖 Taxi / Private Car → Best for comfort & groups
⚡ My Simple Recommendation
If you’re visiting Korea for the first time (like most travellers from Malaysia), here’s what I would honestly suggest:
👉 Take KTX if you want the easiest experience
It’s fast, clean, and drops you right in the city centre of Busan.
👉 Take the bus if you’re saving money
It’s slower, but still very comfortable and much cheaper.
