Toyoko Inn Busan Station No.1

This is a Japanese hotel chain, but the rooms are significantly larger than what you'd find in Japan. The hotel is right next to Busan Station, so it's incredibly convenient – you just cross the street to catch a train. The entire hotel is non-smoking, but there's a designated smoking area just across the road for those who need it.

The hotel is right outside Busan Station, which is super convenient if you're arriving late by train and need a place to crash for the night. However, I wouldn't recommend it if you're primarily here for tourism. It's quite a distance from the main attractions and shopping areas. While there are plenty of food options near the station and hotel, getting to sightseeing spots and malls by subway or bus takes about an hour. You'd be better off staying closer to the attractions themselves. One important heads-up: check-out is at 10 AM!

The location is fantastic, practically right outside the station across a small road. And for under 400 a night including breakfast, the price is incredibly fair. Although the room is small, it's very well-utilized. As long as you don't have oversized luggage, it's perfectly fine for two people.
