Taesan-myeon Vacations from ￥34,397

The location of the hotel was in the middle of everything happening from night life to shopping with a lot of food options from street food to sit-down, close to a lot of shopping from Lotte department store to smaller shops. Also, it was central to all the medical spa and cosmetic surgery facilities. We were a bit skeptical when we arrived because the hotel is located above a bowling alley and the first floor is open to anyone on the street, but it still felt safe because those without a hotel key wouldn't be able to get to the hotel room floors. I liked that my room was cleaned daily but no amenities like tooth brush, tooth paste, comb, etc. beyond towels and two bottles of water. However, their laundry machines worked very well. Even though they only had 3 washers and 3 dryers, it worked out and cleaned/dried my laundry so I can continue on my journey to Japan after visiting Busan. The staff were fine not as friendly as people in Seoul and the English speaking staff were limited. One down side was that I didn't like that we had to put a cash deposit to use their hotel umbrellas on a rainy day. All hotels I've stayed at offered umbrellas for free when it rains...so this is something to reconsider to improve their customer service. Overall, the hotel stay was good and I would recommend for first timers visiting Busan who want to be in the heart of night life, food, and shopping, and I liked the hotel's clean and large size rooms.

화장실에 양치컵이 없고, 안방 화장실 샤워부스 문 맨밑에 물막이가 없어 샤워물이 바깥으로 넘어가서 수건을 깔아야 했어요. 커피메이커가 없어요. 참고해주세요.

I stayed at this aparthotel for twelve days. Overall, it’s a great value. The area surrounding it is very convenient for buying groceries and beach walking. On the weekdays, I had a very relaxing stay as if in my own home. However, there were some dealbreakers for me. Pros: New construction, new appliances, great kitchen, clean washer AND dryer Double layer windows and doors (equal to quadruple pane glass) top insulation and soundproofing* Beautiful ocean view Radiant floor heating Bathroom with tub Assisted garbage sorting (otherwise it’s so complicated) Thorough housekeeping every three days Helpful and friendly staff! Cons: Check-in process (the confirmation says you’ll receive an email but that didn’t happen, and it took an hour to find the office, which was under NewCZ, not Odays, and at building 104, btw.) Disruptive PA announcements in the apartment 3x/day about containing food smells, being considerate, etc… *Noise on weekends. On weekdays, the stay here was pure bliss. But on the first weekend, some **** people moved in above me and felt the need to rerrange their modular couch every few minutes for hours. I complained about it and they upgraded me to the penthouse floor. On the 2nd weekend, some imbeciles moved in on the floor below and were screaming at 3am. Then a day later at 8am. So loud, that quadruple pane glass and airpods 3 couldn’t block the noise. It’s not the hotel’s fault, but I won’t be back if that’s the kind of guests they have.

Rented 3 rooms and they all smelled of smoke. Heater was still on in April so it was hard to sleep at night with a small window crack. Mattress was thin and hard. Bathroom and shower were nice but there is a weird step to each room that we kept stubbing our toes on. Kinda odd. In room 507 the lights flicker all night long even after we turned them off. It was funny until it wasn’t….
