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)

The room was very clean, and they even offered a complimentary drink. The bedding was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable, a bit on the softer side. The service was excellent; the front desk offered Chinese-speaking staff, making communication seamless. The hotel breakfast tasted good, though the variety wasn't as extensive as a five-star hotel, but everything I tried was delicious. It was also very quiet, and the staff were very polite. Just be mindful of the dining hours; it ends at 10 AM. Even as it approached 10 AM, the staff tidied up very orderly, showing great punctuality. The only downside was staying on the 5th floor, right next to the hotel's outdoor air conditioning units, which made a bit of noise at night. Also, the duvet was down-filled, and moving it or turning over made a rustling sound that slightly affected my sleep.Dari€ 262

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€ 257

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€ 605

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€ 202

I highly recommend the Grand Hyatt Seoul. It feels like the heart of the city and is rumored to be a very auspicious location.

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€ 212

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.

My overall experience at the Conrad Seoul was absolutely fantastic. The hotel is located in the heart of Yeouido's business district, with direct underground access to IFC Mall and The Hyundai department store, making it incredibly convenient for dining, entertainment, and shopping – a one-stop shop for everything you need. The rooms are exceptionally spacious for a Seoul hotel, with a well-designed layout clearly separating the living area (with a sofa) and the workspace. The public facilities are impeccably maintained; the 37th-floor pool is quiet and uncrowded, offering stunning city and river views while you swim. The gym is well-equipped with a great panoramic view. Breakfast offers a wide variety, from authentic Korean local dishes like abalone porridge and bibimbap to Western cuisine. The front desk and room service staff are professional and patient, with seamless English communication, and the turndown service is thoughtful and meticulous. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this is a top choice for luxury accommodation in Seoul.Dari€ 309

The hotel's location is super convenient, just a few minutes' walk to the subway station, Lotte Duty Free, and Cheonggyecheon Stream, with plenty of cafes and bakeries nearby. The staff were very helpful and communication was quick. 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. There was a used cotton swab on the carpet that hadn't been cleaned, but otherwise, the cleanliness was quite good.Dari€ 85

For the past few years when I've visited Korea, I've always stayed at Voco. Firstly, I trust the InterContinental brand. Secondly, the hotel's price is reasonable. Thirdly, the location is excellent; there's a direct shuttle bus from the airport to the hotel, and subway and bus stations for shopping are conveniently nearby.

The biggest advantage is the convenient transportation. Airport bus 6015 goes directly to the hotel entrance. For the return trip, you can wait at the same spot where you got off. This bus is a loop service back to the airport and runs every 10 minutes, saving you the hassle of lugging your luggage and transferring subways. You can pay with cash on the bus, but they don't give change. It's also right next to Line 2 subway station. You can walk to the Myeongdong area in about 10 minutes, or take the subway two stops to the upper part of Myeongdong.Dari€ 106

First off, this is a legitimate hotel, not a guesthouse or a self-built inn. It has all the standard hotel amenities. It's definitely a suitable place to stay. Now, regarding the location, don't trust some of the online guides. This area isn't a commercial district or where tourists would typically want to go. It's a wholesale market hub, much like Beijing's Zoo Market or Chengdu's Lotus Pond Market – places that open at night for stocking up and close during the day. Within a two-kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of tailor shops. Of course, there are some malls that are open during the day, but they're very few, so it's not recommended for tourists to stay here. I chose this place because I was returning to China from Busan, wanted a good night's rest, and needed to go to Gimpo Airport the next day. For everyone else, it's probably best to stick to hotels near Myeongdong; having Lotte Department Store right outside is the way to go. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste; you have to buy them from a vending machine. They really don't offer them at all, unlike other hotels where they might not actively provide them but will give them to you if you ask, like a razor. The two beds are roughly the size you'd find in a student dormitory. The breakfast *looked* like it would be good, but the reality was that it ended at 10 AM, with last entry at 9:30 AM. I went around 8:40 AM, and all that was left was sliced bread, sliced baguette, and instant noodles. As for scrambled eggs, bacon fried rice, which should have been there, I didn't see any – they were gone by at least 8:30 AM, and they didn't restock at all. The small pots for dishes in my pictures were all empty. I only managed to eat four small mushrooms. The hotel description mentioned sausages and other items, but there was absolutely nothing. In the end, I had a cup of instant noodles and a glass of grape juice.Dari€ 85

Gwanghwamun, Gyeongbokgung, and Cheonggyecheon are all within walking distance, and Myeongdong is also accessible on foot.

After staying here, I have set a very high standard for future trips to Korea. I would be delighted if I could find hotels as clean and comfortable as this one. If I return to Seoul and there is availability, I would not hesitate to book this hotel again.

The room had two queen-sized beds and was quite spacious, located at the end of the hallway, with plenty of room for two suitcases.
The bathroom sink was tiny; there was hardly any space once a few tooth-brushing cups were placed on it.
I have to complain about the shower gel—it had a strange smell on the first day, so I never used it again. There wasn't a separate shower, just a shower-bathtub combo with a simple curtain, so if you weren't careful, water would splash all over the floor, which was annoying!
They provided four bottles of water daily, which was great. The location was super convenient: there's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and the airport shuttle, subway, and buses are all easily accessible right outside. However, being in Myeongdong, the restaurant prices are definitely inflated, so I'd advise walking a bit further to eat. It'll be much cheaper and the food will be better.Dari€ 110

And remember, kids' breakfast is FREE! Kids' breakfast is FREE! Kids' breakfast is FREE! On our first day, there was a ********* staff member at the front desk who insisted we pay for our child's breakfast. She seemed unfamiliar with the policy; kids' breakfast should have been half price (5,000 KRW per day), but she didn't know and was too hesitant to ask, so she tried to charge us 10,000 KRW. We thought that was too much and didn't pay. Interestingly, the next day, the breakfast staff just waved us in, and for the entire four days we stayed, no one ever asked us for a breakfast voucher for our child. Everything else was great though. Lots of Japanese guests stay here, probably because of the bathtubs in the rooms.Dari€ 102

After staying at the Conrad Yeouido, I moved to this hotel, and the comparison was striking.
First, the gym (Pic 2) – it's excellent! The equipment is new and comprehensive. The pool isn't huge but it's spotless. The views are also great; I really enjoyed working out while overlooking the city. The Conrad's gym on the 8th floor, in contrast, felt very ordinary.
Next, the bar (Pics 3, 4) – the service was just okay (it felt like an outsourced operation), but the music was good, and the views were fantastic. I hope they improve the bar service.
Finally, the hotel overall: I must commend their truly *outstanding* service. They were incredibly responsive. When we checked in, we asked for help booking a Michelin-starred restaurant at the hotel. We thought the staff had forgotten, but to our surprise, he left a note in our room later, apologizing that the reservation had failed. Then, when the mini-fridge started making noise in the middle of the night, we called for assistance, and someone quickly came to fix it. The next day, they sent pastries and an apology letter. These little touches really show their meticulous attention to service.
There was a slight odor in the bathroom, possibly due to the strong winds and continuous rain during our stay.
The hotel lobby and front desk have a museum-like quality, full of artistic flair.
Overall, I really loved it. This will be my top choice for future visits to Seoul.Dari€ 417

There are breakfast places in the alleys on both sides of the hotel. The earliest ones to open are in the alley directly opposite the hotel's main entrance; two of them open quite early, with customers already finishing up and leaving by 7:30 AM. They mainly serve soup dishes. If you walk straight out of the hotel's main entrance, cross the main road, and turn right, you'll find BHC fried chicken.

Recommended place: The location is excellent, with two subway lines nearby. However, Gaode Maps doesn't show the exits clearly, and it's particularly tricky to find the right exit when coming from the airport line. It's actually more convenient and closer to take the subway one more stop to Mapo Station on Line 5. It's very easy to get to places like Hongdae and Gwangjang Market by subway. Walking to the nearby Gongdeok market takes about ten minutes. Most restaurants open quite late.
The area is bustling, with many restaurants and 24-hour convenience stores nearby, including quite a few trendy spots.
There's a front desk staff member who speaks Chinese. I noticed many Chinese guests staying here. The service is average; perhaps they don't encourage eating in the rooms as they don't provide cutlery. If you buy food, remember to ask the store for disposable utensils.
The bed is quite large. The cleanliness and quality of the bedding are average. Nowadays, all Korean hotels don't provide toothbrushes and toothpaste, so remember to bring your own or buy them at a convenience store.

## Location: Perfect Score
Right across from Lotte Duty-Free and less than a 5-minute walk to Shinsegae Duty-Free, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. Its location is comparable to the Aloft nearby but significantly better than Voco (which requires a bit of a detour). If you're here for serious shopping, this location will definitely save you time and effort.
## Room & Facilities
The room size is similar to Aloft's – both are on the 'compact' side. It's a bit smaller than Voco, so if you have a lot of luggage, you might want to reconsider. The hotel is located within a mixed-use building, so you'll need to go to the 9th-floor lobby for check-in. Waiting for elevators during peak hours can be a bit of a pain. There are free luggage lockers on the 9th floor lobby, which are very convenient to use.
## Service & Details
The service was adequate, neither exceptionally good nor bad. However, there's a noticeable drawback: my Trip.com reservation explicitly requested a 'high floor,' but I was given the 11th floor (guest rooms are on floors 10-18). This compromised both the view and the quietness. I recommend calling ahead to confirm or actively requesting a higher floor upon arrival. The central air conditioning noise from the adjacent building runs 24/7, which somewhat affected my sleep.
## Alternatives
Next door is Ibis. If you're not sensitive to floor level or room size, you could compare prices for the same location and pick whichever is cheaper.
## Summary:
If you're looking for ultimate convenience and don't mind a smaller room or the occasional elevator wait, this place is worth considering. However, if a great view, spacious rooms, or a high-floor experience are important to you, I suggest lowering your expectations or looking elsewhere.Dari€ 105

You can also find an all-you-can-eat BBQ for 21,900 KRW right outside Exit 3 of the subway station. There are designated smoking areas at both the front and back entrances. The room was a bit small, but fine for just me. The facilities are a bit old and not very well maintained, but at least you can open the window for some fresh air. Laundry service is available for 3,000 KRW. Overall, it's great value for money, and I'd definitely stay here again.Dari€ 43

Facilities: The room was very clean and tidy, and the city view outside the window had a unique Korean charm ✨. I really enjoyed watching the railway below, with subways passing by and lovely yellow flowers – it was so beautiful ✨ (some reviews mentioned noise, and there is a bit, but the beautiful view makes it worth it 🤭; personally, it didn't affect my sleep).
There's a CU convenience store right downstairs, where I bought some really cute fridge magnet souvenirs. It was also a great option for a late-night snack every day 😋. Plus, there's a Haidilao hotpot restaurant on the hotel's mezzanine level 🤣, perfect if you're not a fan of Korean food. Downstairs, there's also a bus stop with direct buses to Incheon Airport.
Across the street from the hotel, you'll find 인생네컷 (Life Four Cuts photo booth), Olive Young, Mega Coffee, and a jewelry store with walls full of earrings, among others. Just across the road from the hotel entrance is a food street; every place looked so delicious as I walked by 😭. Unfortunately, I was traveling alone this time, and with most places serving BBQ and potato and pork bone soup, I didn't get to try them.
Located in Yeouido, it's very convenient to get to Hangang Park and Hongdae. Other attractions aren't far by taxi either. The front desk lady even proactively helped me call a taxi, which I really appreciated!Dari€ 84

We were on a high floor, so we couldn't hear any traffic noise.

Here's a recap of my stay at the Seoul Riviera Hotel.
The address is 737 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Even though I booked two months in advance, I ended up booking during a price surge. I paid 4330 KRW for 4 nights, which was basically over 1000 KRW per night. Usually, it's around 500-600 KRW. This time, there were a lot of people in Seoul for concerts, which drove hotel prices up three or four times. The hotel I stayed at last time in Seoul also had its prices hiked by several hundred.
Since there were three of us, I booked a standard room for three, with one double bed and one single bed. The room was relatively small, but it was quite clean, and the hotel staff were all very nice. We stayed for 4 consecutive nights, and it was very quiet, so the overall experience was good.
Here's the transportation information:
The airport bus 6006 goes directly to the hotel. You get off at the Riviera Hotel stop, which is right in front of the hotel entrance. You can enter the hotel directly, no need to walk even a minute, which is excellent.
How to take the airport bus to Incheon Airport? The hotel front desk had two diagrams: one for the airport bus timetable directly to Incheon Airport, and another showing where to catch the bus. From the main hotel entrance, turn right and walk straight to the first crosswalk. Cross the street, and you'll see a Starbucks. The bus stop is right in front of Starbucks, about a 5-minute walk. The entire journey takes less than 2 hours.
The nearest subway station is Cheongdam Station, about a 7-minute walk.
Because the hotel is in Gangnam-gu, close to Apgujeong, we walked to Apgujeong. It took about 20-30 minutes, strolling and looking around. We took a public bus to Hannam-dong, which was also very convenient.
The hotel also seemed to have a hot spring, but we didn't have time to go. There's also a particularly delicious 24-hour Korean restaurant near the hotel.Dari€ 70

The perfect art hotel in Seoul's most vibrant district 🇾🇹
If you want to experience Korean pop culture, fashion, and art, RYSE is the place for you. The hotel is located right in the heart of the bustling Hongdae district, literally just a couple of minutes from the subway and a direct line from the airport. Life buzzes all around: street dancers, bars, endless shopping, and a massive Olive Young right next door. The hotel itself is a stylish urban hub. The rooms are small but very chic, just like everything else in the hotel, with great textures throughout and luxurious, cozy colors. The entire hotel also smells wonderful, with an aroma similar to Tom Ford Tobacco & Vanilla. On the ground floor, there's an excellent bakery called Tartine, and in the evening, you absolutely must go up to the Side Note Club on the rooftop; the cocktails and views there are stunning. A huge plus is that the hotel is completely dog-friendly, so you can travel with your pets. 10 out of 10 for atmosphere and comfort!Dari€ 211

For this price point, the basic room hygiene was excellent, no complaints there! But apart from that, everything else was a letdown. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient trip, this isn't the place.
Location and Dining: The hotel is located on a mountain with a great view, but don't even think about walking anywhere. Besides a duty-free shop nearby (which is mostly frequented by personal shoppers), even getting a taxi is a hassle.
For breakfast, be prepared to wait an hour. The front desk suggested I go before 7 AM to avoid the queue, which, to be fair, made breakfast quite good. When I checked in, I also inquired about dinner and good restaurants. The front desk staff claimed all their hotel restaurants were famous and delicious, especially the Japanese one. When I asked them to make a reservation for us, they said reservations usually needed to be made 30 days in advance. Fine.
Then I thought, I'll just grab a coffee at the hotel cafe. Another wait... at least 30 minutes. Ugh...
Returning to the hotel on the second evening, I found the lobby packed with people queuing all the way to the door, like a bustling market. They were all lining up for the buffet. If your F&B is that good, why bother with the hotel? Guests staying here can't even get a table because it's full of outside diners.
The swimming pool was the same – tiny and completely overcrowded, impossible to actually swim. There must have been at least 50 people in there; it was more like a hot tub than a pool. Honestly, apart from sleeping, nothing else was good.
Let's talk about the service: It felt like they were particularly reluctant to serve Chinese guests. When checking out, my child and I were carrying our luggage out, and there were many staff standing in the lobby who didn't offer to help. It was only when a car pulled up outside that someone came to assist us with our bags. What were all those people standing around in the lobby doing then?
After my luggage was loaded, I got into the car and looked out the window to see the person who just helped me with my bags using my car window as a mirror to fix his hair. Hilarious! (This happened at 7 AM Korean time on the 19th).
For this price, you're better off staying in Gangnam. Josun Palace is much better and similarly priced.
To be honest, I'm very disappointed. It's a beautiful hotel, and the staff are all good-looking, but they clearly haven't been properly trained. I hope whoever cares about this hotel sees this review and seriously considers whether you are in the F&B business or hospitality. My experience of your hospitality was very poor.
You did great in terms of the beautiful location and clean rooms, but you missed out on how to treat your guests that are staying at the hotel. Horrible experience. I don’t think you deserve the reputation you once had.Dari€ 449

There was one downside: my iPhone charger went missing.

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€ 471

Upon entering to check-in, there was no proactive greeting. The attitude during check-in was also just so-so. I chose this hotel specifically because it was advertised as a 'Chinese selection,' but I felt their attitude towards Chinese guests was indifferent. Other explanations were general, mainly emphasizing the 11 AM check-out time, warning of a penalty otherwise.

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€ 275

Would have been nice to have a larger mirror outside the bathroom or even have a light for the small mirror inside the cabinet. Fridge was very small - could not fit takeout containers without turning them sideways. Shampoo, conditioner and body products all seemed pretty cheaply made. Shampoo didn’t even foam up and conditioner felt no different than hand soap.
We’re at a different hotel now and after using their products for one night my hair actually seems healthier than when I was back home.Dari€ 102

Took the local bus from Incheon (5h+ ride) which put me near Jungdong station. The hotel was about a 10min walk away. Great location, closest bus stop is about a 2min walk away and easy to get to the rest of Busan. 5min walk to the beach. Haeundae station itself is about a 10min walk away, and so is the Haeundae Intercity bus stop. Haeundae market is about 5min away, so accessible but away from the crowds. My room had a sofa and desk and a toilet, separate from the shower. The hotel has a sauna with four pools, two lukewarm with massage functions and one hot and one cold pool. It also has two steam rooms and they offer massage and scrub services for a fee. Guests get complimentary access but you have to request the ticket at the reception and bring soap and shampoo when you use the sauna (also available for purchase at reception). Sauna is open until 9pm (8.20pm last entry) but the room also gets hot spring water piped to it. Toiletries are available for purchase from the vending machines (or just grab them from the nearest convenience store or Daiso) The washer/dryer in the hotel was fast (~45min each cycle) and dried my clothes very well.

This feels like a luxury hotel, but the substance is lacking…
1. **No in-room phone.** If I wanted to call the front desk, I had to use my own phone to find the number in the booklet and dial it.
2. **Low floors are… well.** The 'ocean view' was useless. Some building's water tank and a Holly's coffee shop blocked most of it. I had to crawl on the floor, taking 5,000 photos, to get just one decent shot. So, if you're on a low floor, you'll have to crawl to see the ocean! Okay, maybe this is my fault for not paying more for a higher floor. BUT, the room photos in the introduction made it seem like there was an unobstructed ocean view, which feels like a scam. There weren't many hotel reviews, so I couldn't have known. I feel cheated.
3. **The biggest problem is privacy.** The toilet faces a window, and the jacuzzi and shower are also in front of full-length windows. Since it's a low floor, you can make eye contact with people in the cafe across the street. My bathroom breaks, showers, and jacuzzi use could all be public! I don't know if the windows are meant to be covered, but it felt very awkward. I had to keep the blinds fully down to use the bathroom and jacuzzi, which defeats the purpose of an 'ocean view' and felt very stifling. They told me not to close the jacuzzi window because of humidity, but the shower is right there, and I almost froze showering!
Seriously, you'd think they'd put more thought into the design, even beyond the ocean view…
4. **The room is so big, but there are no mirrors anywhere** you’d expect one! Only the bathroom mirror, which made doing makeup and getting dressed in the morning incredibly inconvenient.
5. **I used a barrier-free room, but as an able-bodied person, I didn't feel any consideration for disabled guests.** Even I, a seasoned traveler in my 20s, had trouble distinguishing between the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I almost ran out of hot water in the shower trying to figure it out. The labels are tiny and on the back somewhere, so you have to really search. Couldn't they use dedicated bottles or at least proper labeling?
6. **There's no room service or similar services, but other services are expensive.** Maybe I just couldn't find it, but usually, hotel F&B services are in the in-room booklet, aren't they? There was nothing. Okay, maybe because it's a lower-star hotel, it wouldn't have it. BUT, late check-out extension costs 33,000 won (which isn't cheaper than other luxury hotels). So, the standard doesn't reach luxury hotel levels, but the service fees feel comparable to one. Breakfast also felt similar, so I didn't use it.
Considering all of this, if you're just looking for a cost-effective place, it's okay.Dari€ 99

Luckily, my wife's English is good enough to communicate, as I couldn't really understand much.

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€ 35

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.

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.

Booked 3 double suites with sea view. I thought the hotel was very near the beach and was thus expecting full view of Haeundae Beach. However, the sea and beach were blocked by buildings and were barely visible from the hotel windows. To be fair, the rooms were very big and the location made up for the shortfall. Came with a bedroom and a living area, balcony, washing machine, clothes rack, bathtub and comfortable bed.
Conveniently located in front of Haeundae Station, which was also the meet-up point for our Busan local tour. Egg Drop was just next door. Busan Bada Sand store was right opposite. Walkable to Haeundae Beach and Haeundae Market. Overall, a nice stay .
Note: For those taking the intercity bus from Incheon Airport to the hotel, the bus terminal had relocated further up (at a bus stop instead), so you will need to walk quite a bit to reach the hotel.

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€ 23

🚌 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)

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€ 257

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€ 605

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€ 202

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 hotel is located in the heart of Yeouido's business district, with direct underground access to IFC Mall and The Hyundai department store, making it incredibly convenient for dining, entertainment, and shopping – a one-stop shop for everything you need. The rooms are exceptionally spacious for a Seoul hotel, with a well-designed layout clearly separating the living area (with a sofa) and the workspace. The public facilities are impeccably maintained; the 37th-floor pool is quiet and uncrowded, offering stunning city and river views while you swim. The gym is well-equipped with a great panoramic view. Breakfast offers a wide variety, from authentic Korean local dishes like abalone porridge and bibimbap to Western cuisine. The front desk and room service staff are professional and patient, with seamless English communication, and the turndown service is thoughtful and meticulous.

First off, this is a legitimate hotel, not a guesthouse or a self-built inn. It has all the standard hotel amenities. It's definitely a suitable place to stay. Now, regarding the location, don't trust some of the online guides. This area isn't a commercial district or where tourists would typically want to go. It's a wholesale market hub, much like Beijing's Zoo Market or Chengdu's Lotus Pond Market – places that open at night for stocking up and close during the day. Within a two-kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of tailor shops. Of course, there are some malls that are open during the day, but they're very few, so it's not recommended for tourists to stay here. I chose this place because I was returning to China from Busan, wanted a good night's rest, and needed to go to Gimpo Airport the next day. For everyone else, it's probably best to stick to hotels near Myeongdong; having Lotte Department Store right outside is the way to go. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste; you have to buy them from a vending machine. They really don't offer them at all, unlike other hotels where they might not actively provide them but will give them to you if you ask, like a razor. The two beds are roughly the size you'd find in a student dormitory. The breakfast *looked* like it would be good, but the reality was that it ended at 10 AM, with last entry at 9:30 AM. I went around 8:40 AM, and all that was left was sliced bread, sliced baguette, and instant noodles. As for scrambled eggs, bacon fried rice, which should have been there, I didn't see any – they were gone by at least 8:30 AM, and they didn't restock at all. The small pots for dishes in my pictures were all empty. I only managed to eat four small mushrooms. The hotel description mentioned sausages and other items, but there was absolutely nothing. In the end, I had a cup of instant noodles and a glass of grape juice.Dari€ 85

The room had two queen-sized beds and was quite spacious, located at the end of the hallway, with plenty of room for two suitcases.
The bathroom sink was tiny; there was hardly any space once a few tooth-brushing cups were placed on it.
I have to complain about the shower gel—it had a strange smell on the first day, so I never used it again. There wasn't a separate shower, just a shower-bathtub combo with a simple curtain, so if you weren't careful, water would splash all over the floor, which was annoying!
They provided four bottles of water daily, which was great. The location was super convenient: there's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and the airport shuttle, subway, and buses are all easily accessible right outside. However, being in Myeongdong, the restaurant prices are definitely inflated, so I'd advise walking a bit further to eat. It'll be much cheaper and the food will be better.Dari€ 110

On our first day, there was a ********* staff member at the front desk who insisted we pay for our child's breakfast.

We thought that was too much and didn't pay. Interestingly, the next day, the breakfast staff just waved us in, and for the entire four days we stayed, no one ever asked us for a breakfast voucher for our child.

First, the gym (Pic 2) – it's excellent! The equipment is new and comprehensive. The pool isn't huge but it's spotless. The views are also great; I really enjoyed working out while overlooking the city. The Conrad's gym on the 8th floor, in contrast, felt very ordinary.
Next, the bar (Pics 3, 4) – the service was just okay (it felt like an outsourced operation), but the music was good, and the views were fantastic. I hope they improve the bar service.
Finally, the hotel overall: I must commend their truly *outstanding* service. They were incredibly responsive. When we checked in, we asked for help booking a Michelin-starred restaurant at the hotel. We thought the staff had forgotten, but to our surprise, he left a note in our room later, apologizing that the reservation had failed. Then, when the mini-fridge started making noise in the middle of the night, we called for assistance, and someone quickly came to fix it. The next day, they sent pastries and an apology letter. These little touches really show their meticulous attention to service.
There was a slight odor in the bathroom, possibly due to the strong winds and continuous rain during our stay.

## Location: Perfect Score
Right across from Lotte Duty-Free and less than a 5-minute walk to Shinsegae Duty-Free, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. Its location is comparable to the Aloft nearby but significantly better than Voco (which requires a bit of a detour). If you're here for serious shopping, this location will definitely save you time and effort.
## Room & Facilities
The room size is similar to Aloft's – both are on the 'compact' side. It's a bit smaller than Voco, so if you have a lot of luggage, you might want to reconsider. The hotel is located within a mixed-use building, so you'll need to go to the 9th-floor lobby for check-in. Waiting for elevators during peak hours can be a bit of a pain. There are free luggage lockers on the 9th floor lobby, which are very convenient to use.
## Service & Details
The service was adequate, neither exceptionally good nor bad. However, there's a noticeable drawback: my Trip.com reservation explicitly requested a 'high floor,' but I was given the 11th floor (guest rooms are on floors 10-18). This compromised both the view and the quietness. I recommend calling ahead to confirm or actively requesting a higher floor upon arrival. The central air conditioning noise from the adjacent building runs 24/7, which somewhat affected my sleep.
## Alternatives
Next door is Ibis. If you're not sensitive to floor level or room size, you could compare prices for the same location and pick whichever is cheaper.
## Summary:
If you're looking for ultimate convenience and don't mind a smaller room or the occasional elevator wait, this place is worth considering. However, if a great view, spacious rooms, or a high-floor experience are important to you, I suggest lowering your expectations or looking elsewhere.Dari€ 105

Here's a recap of my stay at the Seoul Riviera Hotel.
The address is 737 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Even though I booked two months in advance, I ended up booking during a price surge. I paid 4330 KRW for 4 nights, which was basically over 1000 KRW per night. Usually, it's around 500-600 KRW. This time, there were a lot of people in Seoul for concerts, which drove hotel prices up three or four times. The hotel I stayed at last time in Seoul also had its prices hiked by several hundred.
Since there were three of us, I booked a standard room for three, with one double bed and one single bed. The room was relatively small, but it was quite clean, and the hotel staff were all very nice. We stayed for 4 consecutive nights, and it was very quiet, so the overall experience was good.
Here's the transportation information:
The airport bus 6006 goes directly to the hotel. You get off at the Riviera Hotel stop, which is right in front of the hotel entrance. You can enter the hotel directly, no need to walk even a minute, which is excellent.
How to take the airport bus to Incheon Airport? The hotel front desk had two diagrams: one for the airport bus timetable directly to Incheon Airport, and another showing where to catch the bus. From the main hotel entrance, turn right and walk straight to the first crosswalk. Cross the street, and you'll see a Starbucks. The bus stop is right in front of Starbucks, about a 5-minute walk. The entire journey takes less than 2 hours.
The nearest subway station is Cheongdam Station, about a 7-minute walk.
Because the hotel is in Gangnam-gu, close to Apgujeong, we walked to Apgujeong. It took about 20-30 minutes, strolling and looking around. We took a public bus to Hannam-dong, which was also very convenient.
The hotel also seemed to have a hot spring, but we didn't have time to go. There's also a particularly delicious 24-hour Korean restaurant near the hotel.Dari€ 70

The perfect art hotel in Seoul's most vibrant district 🇾🇹
If you want to experience Korean pop culture, fashion, and art, RYSE is the place for you. The hotel is located right in the heart of the bustling Hongdae district, literally just a couple of minutes from the subway and a direct line from the airport. Life buzzes all around: street dancers, bars, endless shopping, and a massive Olive Young right next door. The hotel itself is a stylish urban hub. The rooms are small but very chic, just like everything else in the hotel, with great textures throughout and luxurious, cozy colors. The entire hotel also smells wonderful, with an aroma similar to Tom Ford Tobacco & Vanilla. On the ground floor, there's an excellent bakery called Tartine, and in the evening, you absolutely must go up to the Side Note Club on the rooftop; the cocktails and views there are stunning. A huge plus is that the hotel is completely dog-friendly, so you can travel with your pets. 10 out of 10 for atmosphere and comfort!Dari€ 211

For this price point, the basic room hygiene was excellent, no complaints there! But apart from that, everything else was a letdown. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient trip, this isn't the place.
Location and Dining: The hotel is located on a mountain with a great view, but don't even think about walking anywhere. Besides a duty-free shop nearby (which is mostly frequented by personal shoppers), even getting a taxi is a hassle.
For breakfast, be prepared to wait an hour. The front desk suggested I go before 7 AM to avoid the queue, which, to be fair, made breakfast quite good. When I checked in, I also inquired about dinner and good restaurants. The front desk staff claimed all their hotel restaurants were famous and delicious, especially the Japanese one. When I asked them to make a reservation for us, they said reservations usually needed to be made 30 days in advance. Fine.
Then I thought, I'll just grab a coffee at the hotel cafe. Another wait... at least 30 minutes. Ugh...
Returning to the hotel on the second evening, I found the lobby packed with people queuing all the way to the door, like a bustling market. They were all lining up for the buffet. If your F&B is that good, why bother with the hotel? Guests staying here can't even get a table because it's full of outside diners.
The swimming pool was the same – tiny and completely overcrowded, impossible to actually swim. There must have been at least 50 people in there; it was more like a hot tub than a pool. Honestly, apart from sleeping, nothing else was good.
Let's talk about the service: It felt like they were particularly reluctant to serve Chinese guests. When checking out, my child and I were carrying our luggage out, and there were many staff standing in the lobby who didn't offer to help. It was only when a car pulled up outside that someone came to assist us with our bags. What were all those people standing around in the lobby doing then?
After my luggage was loaded, I got into the car and looked out the window to see the person who just helped me with my bags using my car window as a mirror to fix his hair. Hilarious! (This happened at 7 AM Korean time on the 19th).
For this price, you're better off staying in Gangnam. Josun Palace is much better and similarly priced.
To be honest, I'm very disappointed. It's a beautiful hotel, and the staff are all good-looking, but they clearly haven't been properly trained. I hope whoever cares about this hotel sees this review and seriously considers whether you are in the F&B business or hospitality. My experience of your hospitality was very poor.
You did great in terms of the beautiful location and clean rooms, but you missed out on how to treat your guests that are staying at the hotel. Horrible experience. I don’t think you deserve the reputation you once had.Dari€ 449

There was one downside: my iPhone charger went missing. I reported it to the front desk, and the next day, while I was out, they supposedly found the charger under the sofa, even though I hadn't unplugged it from the wall.

I recently stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel Seoul for four nights to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the experience was outstanding.
Before arrival, I contacted the hotel via email to arrange birthday preparations and restaurant reservations. The team responded extremely quickly—often within minutes—and accommodated all requests efficiently, making our itinerary smooth and enjoyable.
On her birthday, a beautifully presented cake arrived at our room precisely on time. Daily housekeeping was thoughtful and attentive. Room service remained available late into the night, with consistently delicious food.
The hotel also surprised my girlfriend with a small commemorative gift. I would like to especially commend staff member Jisu for his exceptional dedication and personalized service throughout our stay.

This is a luxury, trendy brand under Hyatt. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the Apgujeong commercial area. It's just a few minutes' walk to the Hyundai Department Store Apgujeong Main Branch, and Cheongdam-dong isn't far either. You can access the subway station directly from the hotel's B1 level. 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.

The Grand Walkerhill Hotel, a renowned and established hotel in Seoul, still maintains excellent quality and standards. 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. Overall, it's a classic hotel with a sense of historical charm, yet the guest experience remains top-notch.Dari€ 102

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€ 471

Walk 20 meters to the left of the subway station, and you'll find the bus stop, offering a seamless connection to Airport Limousine bus 6015. Myeongdong's shopping district is also within walking distance. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and bright, featuring two beds, a desk, and two chairs, which was perfect for getting some work done or doing my makeup. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation and a well-thought-out, comfortable layout, plus the water pressure from the faucet was excellent, which I truly appreciate.

Upon entering to check-in, there was no proactive greeting. The attitude during check-in was also just so-so. I chose this hotel specifically because it was advertised as a 'Chinese selection,' but I felt their attitude towards Chinese guests was indifferent. Other explanations were general, mainly emphasizing the 11 AM check-out time, warning of a penalty otherwise. Personally, I think the hot water issue, which I'll mention next, is more important than that.
Aside from these points, the hygiene was acceptable. The facilities are a bit old. There's a convenience store nearby, and the bus stop downstairs is also very convenient.Dari€ 42

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€ 275

Took the local bus from Incheon (5h+ ride) which put me near Jungdong station. The hotel was about a 10min walk away. Great location, closest bus stop is about a 2min walk away and easy to get to the rest of Busan. 5min walk to the beach. Haeundae station itself is about a 10min walk away, and so is the Haeundae Intercity bus stop. Haeundae market is about 5min away, so accessible but away from the crowds. My room had a sofa and desk and a toilet, separate from the shower. The hotel has a sauna with four pools, two lukewarm with massage functions and one hot and one cold pool. It also has two steam rooms and they offer massage and scrub services for a fee. Guests get complimentary access but you have to request the ticket at the reception and bring soap and shampoo when you use the sauna (also available for purchase at reception). Sauna is open until 9pm (8.20pm last entry) but the room also gets hot spring water piped to it. Toiletries are available for purchase from the vending machines (or just grab them from the nearest convenience store or Daiso) The washer/dryer in the hotel was fast (~45min each cycle) and dried my clothes very well. There's a sky lounge on the 20th floor but I didn't use it. There was no breakfast offered at the time I stayed.Dari€ 60

This feels like a luxury hotel, but the substance is lacking…
1. **No in-room phone.** If I wanted to call the front desk, I had to use my own phone to find the number in the booklet and dial it.
2. **Low floors are… well.** The 'ocean view' was useless. Some building's water tank and a Holly's coffee shop blocked most of it. I had to crawl on the floor, taking 5,000 photos, to get just one decent shot. So, if you're on a low floor, you'll have to crawl to see the ocean! Okay, maybe this is my fault for not paying more for a higher floor. BUT, the room photos in the introduction made it seem like there was an unobstructed ocean view, which feels like a scam. There weren't many hotel reviews, so I couldn't have known. I feel cheated.
3. **The biggest problem is privacy.** The toilet faces a window, and the jacuzzi and shower are also in front of full-length windows. Since it's a low floor, you can make eye contact with people in the cafe across the street. My bathroom breaks, showers, and jacuzzi use could all be public! I don't know if the windows are meant to be covered, but it felt very awkward. I had to keep the blinds fully down to use the bathroom and jacuzzi, which defeats the purpose of an 'ocean view' and felt very stifling. They told me not to close the jacuzzi window because of humidity, but the shower is right there, and I almost froze showering!
Seriously, you'd think they'd put more thought into the design, even beyond the ocean view…
4. **The room is so big, but there are no mirrors anywhere** you’d expect one! Only the bathroom mirror, which made doing makeup and getting dressed in the morning incredibly inconvenient.
5. **I used a barrier-free room, but as an able-bodied person, I didn't feel any consideration for disabled guests.** Even I, a seasoned traveler in my 20s, had trouble distinguishing between the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I almost ran out of hot water in the shower trying to figure it out. The labels are tiny and on the back somewhere, so you have to really search. Couldn't they use dedicated bottles or at least proper labeling?
6. **There's no room service or similar services, but other services are expensive.** Maybe I just couldn't find it, but usually, hotel F&B services are in the in-room booklet, aren't they? There was nothing. Okay, maybe because it's a lower-star hotel, it wouldn't have it. BUT, late check-out extension costs 33,000 won (which isn't cheaper than other luxury hotels). So, the standard doesn't reach luxury hotel levels, but the service fees feel comparable to one. Breakfast also felt similar, so I didn't use it.
Considering all of this, if you're just looking for a cost-effective place, it's okay.Dari€ 99

This hotel is super close to Busan Station, literally just over a hundred meters away, making it a five-minute walk. I stayed here for two nights out of my six-day trip to Korea. The location is fantastic, with easy access to both the subway and trains. The front desk is on the third floor. When we checked in, the guy at reception spoke English. Luckily, my wife's English is good enough to communicate, as I couldn't really understand much. There are plenty of places to eat nearby; we just popped into a restaurant downstairs and had some decent pork cutlet and udon.

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€ 35

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.

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.

Booked 3 double suites with sea view. I thought the hotel was very near the beach and was thus expecting full view of Haeundae Beach. However, the sea and beach were blocked by buildings and were barely visible from the hotel windows. To be fair, the rooms were very big and the location made up for the shortfall. Came with a bedroom and a living area, balcony, washing machine, clothes rack, bathtub and comfortable bed.
Conveniently located in front of Haeundae Station, which was also the meet-up point for our Busan local tour. Egg Drop was just next door. Busan Bada Sand store was right opposite. Walkable to Haeundae Beach and Haeundae Market. Overall, a nice stay .
Note: For those taking the intercity bus from Incheon Airport to the hotel, the bus terminal had relocated further up (at a bus stop instead), so you will need to walk quite a bit to reach the hotel.

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€ 23

✈️ 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.)

The room was very clean, and they even offered a complimentary drink. The bedding was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable, a bit on the softer side.

The hotel breakfast tasted good, though the variety wasn't as extensive as a five-star hotel, but everything I tried was delicious. It was also very quiet, and the staff were very polite. Just be mindful of the dining hours; it ends at 10 AM. Even as it approached 10 AM, the staff tidied up very orderly, showing great punctuality. The only downside was staying on the 5th floor, right next to the hotel's outdoor air conditioning units, which made a bit of noise at night.

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€ 202

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.

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.

My overall experience at the Conrad Seoul was absolutely fantastic. The hotel is located in the heart of Yeouido's business district, with direct underground access to IFC Mall and The Hyundai department store, making it incredibly convenient for dining, entertainment, and shopping – a one-stop shop for everything you need. The rooms are exceptionally spacious for a Seoul hotel, with a well-designed layout clearly separating the living area (with a sofa) and the workspace. The public facilities are impeccably maintained; the 37th-floor pool is quiet and uncrowded, offering stunning city and river views while you swim. The gym is well-equipped with a great panoramic view. Breakfast offers a wide variety, from authentic Korean local dishes like abalone porridge and bibimbap to Western cuisine. The front desk and room service staff are professional and patient, with seamless English communication, and the turndown service is thoughtful and meticulous. Whether you're traveling for leisure or business, this is a top choice for luxury accommodation in Seoul.Dari€ 309

First off, this is a legitimate hotel, not a guesthouse or a self-built inn. It has all the standard hotel amenities. It's definitely a suitable place to stay. Now, regarding the location, don't trust some of the online guides. This area isn't a commercial district or where tourists would typically want to go. It's a wholesale market hub, much like Beijing's Zoo Market or Chengdu's Lotus Pond Market – places that open at night for stocking up and close during the day. Within a two-kilometer radius, there are tens of thousands of tailor shops. Of course, there are some malls that are open during the day, but they're very few, so it's not recommended for tourists to stay here. I chose this place because I was returning to China from Busan, wanted a good night's rest, and needed to go to Gimpo Airport the next day. For everyone else, it's probably best to stick to hotels near Myeongdong; having Lotte Department Store right outside is the way to go. The hotel doesn't provide toothbrushes or toothpaste; you have to buy them from a vending machine. They really don't offer them at all, unlike other hotels where they might not actively provide them but will give them to you if you ask, like a razor. The two beds are roughly the size you'd find in a student dormitory. The breakfast *looked* like it would be good, but the reality was that it ended at 10 AM, with last entry at 9:30 AM. I went around 8:40 AM, and all that was left was sliced bread, sliced baguette, and instant noodles. As for scrambled eggs, bacon fried rice, which should have been there, I didn't see any – they were gone by at least 8:30 AM, and they didn't restock at all. The small pots for dishes in my pictures were all empty. I only managed to eat four small mushrooms. The hotel description mentioned sausages and other items, but there was absolutely nothing. In the end, I had a cup of instant noodles and a glass of grape juice.Dari€ 85

The room had two queen-sized beds and was quite spacious, located at the end of the hallway, with plenty of room for two suitcases.
The bathroom sink was tiny; there was hardly any space once a few tooth-brushing cups were placed on it.
I have to complain about the shower gel—it had a strange smell on the first day, so I never used it again. There wasn't a separate shower, just a shower-bathtub combo with a simple curtain, so if you weren't careful, water would splash all over the floor, which was annoying!
They provided four bottles of water daily, which was great. The location was super convenient: there's a 7-Eleven downstairs, and the airport shuttle, subway, and buses are all easily accessible right outside. However, being in Myeongdong, the restaurant prices are definitely inflated, so I'd advise walking a bit further to eat. It'll be much cheaper and the food will be better.Dari€ 110

We thought that was too much and didn't pay. Interestingly, the next day, the breakfast staff just waved us in, and for the entire four days we stayed, no one ever asked us for a breakfast voucher for our child.

First, the gym (Pic 2) – it's excellent! The equipment is new and comprehensive. The pool isn't huge but it's spotless. The views are also great; I really enjoyed working out while overlooking the city. The Conrad's gym on the 8th floor, in contrast, felt very ordinary.
Next, the bar (Pics 3, 4) – the service was just okay (it felt like an outsourced operation), but the music was good, and the views were fantastic. I hope they improve the bar service.
Finally, the hotel overall: I must commend their truly *outstanding* service. They were incredibly responsive. When we checked in, we asked for help booking a Michelin-starred restaurant at the hotel. We thought the staff had forgotten, but to our surprise, he left a note in our room later, apologizing that the reservation had failed. Then, when the mini-fridge started making noise in the middle of the night, we called for assistance, and someone quickly came to fix it. The next day, they sent pastries and an apology letter. These little touches really show their meticulous attention to service.
There was a slight odor in the bathroom, possibly due to the strong winds and continuous rain during our stay.

The area is bustling, with many restaurants and 24-hour convenience stores nearby, including quite a few trendy spots.
There's a front desk staff member who speaks Chinese. I noticed many Chinese guests staying here. The service is average; perhaps they don't encourage eating in the rooms as they don't provide cutlery. If you buy food, remember to ask the store for disposable utensils.
The bed is quite large. The cleanliness and quality of the bedding are average. Nowadays, all Korean hotels don't provide toothbrushes and toothpaste, so remember to bring your own or buy them at a convenience store.

## Location: Perfect Score
Right across from Lotte Duty-Free and less than a 5-minute walk to Shinsegae Duty-Free, making it incredibly convenient for shopping. Its location is comparable to the Aloft nearby but significantly better than Voco (which requires a bit of a detour). If you're here for serious shopping, this location will definitely save you time and effort.
## Room & Facilities
The room size is similar to Aloft's – both are on the 'compact' side. It's a bit smaller than Voco, so if you have a lot of luggage, you might want to reconsider. The hotel is located within a mixed-use building, so you'll need to go to the 9th-floor lobby for check-in. Waiting for elevators during peak hours can be a bit of a pain. There are free luggage lockers on the 9th floor lobby, which are very convenient to use.
## Service & Details
The service was adequate, neither exceptionally good nor bad. However, there's a noticeable drawback: my Trip.com reservation explicitly requested a 'high floor,' but I was given the 11th floor (guest rooms are on floors 10-18). This compromised both the view and the quietness. I recommend calling ahead to confirm or actively requesting a higher floor upon arrival. The central air conditioning noise from the adjacent building runs 24/7, which somewhat affected my sleep.
## Alternatives
Next door is Ibis. If you're not sensitive to floor level or room size, you could compare prices for the same location and pick whichever is cheaper.
## Summary:
If you're looking for ultimate convenience and don't mind a smaller room or the occasional elevator wait, this place is worth considering. However, if a great view, spacious rooms, or a high-floor experience are important to you, I suggest lowering your expectations or looking elsewhere.Dari€ 105

Here's a recap of my stay at the Seoul Riviera Hotel.
The address is 737 Yeongdong-daero, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Even though I booked two months in advance, I ended up booking during a price surge. I paid 4330 KRW for 4 nights, which was basically over 1000 KRW per night. Usually, it's around 500-600 KRW. This time, there were a lot of people in Seoul for concerts, which drove hotel prices up three or four times. The hotel I stayed at last time in Seoul also had its prices hiked by several hundred.
Since there were three of us, I booked a standard room for three, with one double bed and one single bed. The room was relatively small, but it was quite clean, and the hotel staff were all very nice. We stayed for 4 consecutive nights, and it was very quiet, so the overall experience was good.
Here's the transportation information:
The airport bus 6006 goes directly to the hotel. You get off at the Riviera Hotel stop, which is right in front of the hotel entrance. You can enter the hotel directly, no need to walk even a minute, which is excellent.
How to take the airport bus to Incheon Airport? The hotel front desk had two diagrams: one for the airport bus timetable directly to Incheon Airport, and another showing where to catch the bus. From the main hotel entrance, turn right and walk straight to the first crosswalk. Cross the street, and you'll see a Starbucks. The bus stop is right in front of Starbucks, about a 5-minute walk. The entire journey takes less than 2 hours.
The nearest subway station is Cheongdam Station, about a 7-minute walk.
Because the hotel is in Gangnam-gu, close to Apgujeong, we walked to Apgujeong. It took about 20-30 minutes, strolling and looking around. We took a public bus to Hannam-dong, which was also very convenient.
The hotel also seemed to have a hot spring, but we didn't have time to go. There's also a particularly delicious 24-hour Korean restaurant near the hotel.Dari€ 70

The rooms are small but very chic, just like everything else in the hotel, with great textures throughout and luxurious, cozy colors. The entire hotel also smells wonderful, with an aroma similar to Tom Ford Tobacco & Vanilla. On the ground floor, there's an excellent bakery called Tartine, and in the evening, you absolutely must go up to the Side Note Club on the rooftop; the cocktails and views there are stunning. A huge plus is that the hotel is completely dog-friendly, so you can travel with your pets. 10 out of 10 for atmosphere and comfort!Dari€ 211

For this price point, the basic room hygiene was excellent, no complaints there! But apart from that, everything else was a letdown. If you're looking for a comfortable and convenient trip, this isn't the place.
Location and Dining: The hotel is located on a mountain with a great view, but don't even think about walking anywhere. Besides a duty-free shop nearby (which is mostly frequented by personal shoppers), even getting a taxi is a hassle.
For breakfast, be prepared to wait an hour. The front desk suggested I go before 7 AM to avoid the queue, which, to be fair, made breakfast quite good. When I checked in, I also inquired about dinner and good restaurants. The front desk staff claimed all their hotel restaurants were famous and delicious, especially the Japanese one. When I asked them to make a reservation for us, they said reservations usually needed to be made 30 days in advance. Fine.
Then I thought, I'll just grab a coffee at the hotel cafe. Another wait... at least 30 minutes. Ugh...
Returning to the hotel on the second evening, I found the lobby packed with people queuing all the way to the door, like a bustling market. They were all lining up for the buffet. If your F&B is that good, why bother with the hotel? Guests staying here can't even get a table because it's full of outside diners.
The swimming pool was the same – tiny and completely overcrowded, impossible to actually swim. There must have been at least 50 people in there; it was more like a hot tub than a pool. Honestly, apart from sleeping, nothing else was good.
Let's talk about the service: It felt like they were particularly reluctant to serve Chinese guests. When checking out, my child and I were carrying our luggage out, and there were many staff standing in the lobby who didn't offer to help. It was only when a car pulled up outside that someone came to assist us with our bags. What were all those people standing around in the lobby doing then?
After my luggage was loaded, I got into the car and looked out the window to see the person who just helped me with my bags using my car window as a mirror to fix his hair. Hilarious! (This happened at 7 AM Korean time on the 19th).
For this price, you're better off staying in Gangnam. Josun Palace is much better and similarly priced.
To be honest, I'm very disappointed. It's a beautiful hotel, and the staff are all good-looking, but they clearly haven't been properly trained. I hope whoever cares about this hotel sees this review and seriously considers whether you are in the F&B business or hospitality. My experience of your hospitality was very poor.
You did great in terms of the beautiful location and clean rooms, but you missed out on how to treat your guests that are staying at the hotel. Horrible experience. I don’t think you deserve the reputation you once had.Dari€ 449

I really liked the hotel, its location, and the fact that there was a lot of delicious food and local branded clothing nearby.
There was one downside: my iPhone charger went missing. I reported it to the front desk, and the next day, while I was out, they supposedly found the charger under the sofa, even though I hadn't unplugged it from the wall. So, I recommend putting all small items in the safe. Even though it's a minor thing, it left a bad taste in my mouth. 😕Dari€ 188

I recently stayed at the JW Marriott Hotel Seoul for four nights to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday, and the experience was outstanding.
Before arrival, I contacted the hotel via email to arrange birthday preparations and restaurant reservations. The team responded extremely quickly—often within minutes—and accommodated all requests efficiently, making our itinerary smooth and enjoyable.
On her birthday, a beautifully presented cake arrived at our room precisely on time. Daily housekeeping was thoughtful and attentive. Room service remained available late into the night, with consistently delicious food.
The hotel also surprised my girlfriend with a small commemorative gift. I would like to especially commend staff member Jisu for his exceptional dedication and personalized service throughout our stay.

This is a luxury, trendy brand under Hyatt. The hotel's location is excellent, right in the Apgujeong commercial area. It's just a few minutes' walk to the Hyundai Department Store Apgujeong Main Branch, and Cheongdam-dong isn't far either. You can access the subway station directly from the hotel's B1 level. 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.

The Grand Walkerhill Hotel, a renowned and established hotel in Seoul, still maintains excellent quality and standards. 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€ 471

Walk 20 meters to the left of the subway station, and you'll find the bus stop, offering a seamless connection to Airport Limousine bus 6015. Myeongdong's shopping district is also within walking distance. The hotel itself is clean, comfortable, and bright, featuring two beds, a desk, and two chairs, which was perfect for getting some work done or doing my makeup. The bathroom had a great wet/dry separation and a well-thought-out, comfortable layout, plus the water pressure from the faucet was excellent, which I truly appreciate. From my room, I had clear views of the mountains and N Seoul Tower – truly picturesque. The front desk service was polite and clear in their communication.

Upon entering to check-in, there was no proactive greeting. The attitude during check-in was also just so-so. I chose this hotel specifically because it was advertised as a 'Chinese selection,' but I felt their attitude towards Chinese guests was indifferent. Other explanations were general, mainly emphasizing the 11 AM check-out time, warning of a penalty otherwise. Personally, I think the hot water issue, which I'll mention next, is more important than that.

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€ 275

Sauna is open until 9pm (8.20pm last entry) but the room also gets hot spring water piped to it. Toiletries are available for purchase from the vending machines (or just grab them from the nearest convenience store or Daiso) The washer/dryer in the hotel was fast (~45min each cycle) and dried my clothes very well. There's a sky lounge on the 20th floor but I didn't use it. There was no breakfast offered at the time I stayed.Dari€ 60

This feels like a luxury hotel, but the substance is lacking…
1. **No in-room phone.** If I wanted to call the front desk, I had to use my own phone to find the number in the booklet and dial it.
2. **Low floors are… well.** The 'ocean view' was useless. Some building's water tank and a Holly's coffee shop blocked most of it. I had to crawl on the floor, taking 5,000 photos, to get just one decent shot. So, if you're on a low floor, you'll have to crawl to see the ocean! Okay, maybe this is my fault for not paying more for a higher floor. BUT, the room photos in the introduction made it seem like there was an unobstructed ocean view, which feels like a scam. There weren't many hotel reviews, so I couldn't have known. I feel cheated.
3. **The biggest problem is privacy.** The toilet faces a window, and the jacuzzi and shower are also in front of full-length windows. Since it's a low floor, you can make eye contact with people in the cafe across the street. My bathroom breaks, showers, and jacuzzi use could all be public! I don't know if the windows are meant to be covered, but it felt very awkward. I had to keep the blinds fully down to use the bathroom and jacuzzi, which defeats the purpose of an 'ocean view' and felt very stifling. They told me not to close the jacuzzi window because of humidity, but the shower is right there, and I almost froze showering!
Seriously, you'd think they'd put more thought into the design, even beyond the ocean view…
4. **The room is so big, but there are no mirrors anywhere** you’d expect one! Only the bathroom mirror, which made doing makeup and getting dressed in the morning incredibly inconvenient.
5. **I used a barrier-free room, but as an able-bodied person, I didn't feel any consideration for disabled guests.** Even I, a seasoned traveler in my 20s, had trouble distinguishing between the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I almost ran out of hot water in the shower trying to figure it out. The labels are tiny and on the back somewhere, so you have to really search. Couldn't they use dedicated bottles or at least proper labeling?
6. **There's no room service or similar services, but other services are expensive.** Maybe I just couldn't find it, but usually, hotel F&B services are in the in-room booklet, aren't they? There was nothing. Okay, maybe because it's a lower-star hotel, it wouldn't have it. BUT, late check-out extension costs 33,000 won (which isn't cheaper than other luxury hotels). So, the standard doesn't reach luxury hotel levels, but the service fees feel comparable to one. Breakfast also felt similar, so I didn't use it.
Considering all of this, if you're just looking for a cost-effective place, it's okay.Dari€ 99

This hotel is super close to Busan Station, literally just over a hundred meters away, making it a five-minute walk. I stayed here for two nights out of my six-day trip to Korea. The location is fantastic, with easy access to both the subway and trains. The front desk is on the third floor. When we checked in, the guy at reception spoke English. Luckily, my wife's English is good enough to communicate, as I couldn't really understand much. There are plenty of places to eat nearby; we just popped into a restaurant downstairs and had some decent pork cutlet and udon. Plus, there's a convenience store, Starbucks, and even a foot massage place right downstairs. The room was pretty clean, and I'd say it's a decent hotel by Korean standards.Dari€ 64

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€ 35

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€ 38

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€ 58

Booked 3 double suites with sea view. I thought the hotel was very near the beach and was thus expecting full view of Haeundae Beach. However, the sea and beach were blocked by buildings and were barely visible from the hotel windows. To be fair, the rooms were very big and the location made up for the shortfall. Came with a bedroom and a living area, balcony, washing machine, clothes rack, bathtub and comfortable bed.
Conveniently located in front of Haeundae Station, which was also the meet-up point for our Busan local tour. Egg Drop was just next door. Busan Bada Sand store was right opposite. Walkable to Haeundae Beach and Haeundae Market. Overall, a nice stay .
Note: For those taking the intercity bus from Incheon Airport to the hotel, the bus terminal had relocated further up (at a bus stop instead), so you will need to walk quite a bit to reach the hotel.

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€ 23

It felt a bit like a Korean motel, but a lot of local Koreans were staying there too! The ground floor parking was super convenient. Apparently, there are quite a few Japanese guests as well!
The lobby had sofas, a free coffee machine, a microwave, and a hot water dispenser, all available 24/7.
Amenities like toothbrushes and razors were complimentary and available at the front desk.
The front desk staff were very kind and even called a taxi to the airport for me.
The water pressure in the room was great! In winter, the 'ondol' (underfloor heating) made it so warm I could just wear a camisole! I even had to open the window, haha. The bathroom wasn't super clean, but it was perfectly acceptable. I'd recommend it for anyone looking for a good value stay!

💡 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.
