Toyoko-inn Hotels in Busan

The hotel is quite nice, but I just want to remind other travelers — the taxis in front of the hotel tend to overcharge. That’s not a good experience. Since I couldn’t use Uber or Kakao Taxi in Busan (the card I registered didn’t work, and cash payment wasn’t accepted either), I asked the front desk if they could help me book a taxi. They told me I could simply take one from in front of the hotel. When I checked out and got into the taxi, I saw on Kakao Taxi that the normal fare should be around 17,000 won. However, the driver refused to use the meter. About five minutes into the ride, he told me the fare would be 30,000 won. I felt really uncomfortable, but since I was traveling alone and all my belongings were in the car, I decided not to argue further for safety reasons. In the end, I had no choice but to accept it. Overall, I really enjoyed my stay at the hotel, but I hope other guests won’t have to experience the same situation on their last day.

I couldn't believe this was in Korea; I genuinely thought I was in Japan! Facilities: A distinctly Japanese-style hotel, even equipped with a smart bidet toilet. Cleanliness: Impeccably clean, truly excellent. Environment: While the space was a bit compact, there were no strange odors, and the area felt very safe. Service: A complimentary breakfast is offered, although it consists of cold items. From downstairs, you get a direct view of trains arriving at and departing from Busan Station.

As good as always, this time Toyoko in front of famous Haeunde beach. All standard good Toyoko stuff plus beach rest! You can even get the ocean view from the room. This is the first Toyoko where I met plenty of foreigners - to count this as good or maybe not - is up to you (-:

The hotel is conveniently located in a quiet area, with a bus stop just a short walk away. The breakfast spread was excellent. Despite being in a bustling neighborhood, it was surprisingly peaceful. My only minor complaint is regarding the check-in time. We arrived at 2:30 PM, and I would have appreciated getting our room earlier, especially since we saw other guests being checked in before us. Moreover, I know their other locations allow check-in from 12 PM.
