Explore 2-Star Hotels in Busan

This is a very new hotel, and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean, and they offer complimentary coffee, drinks, hot water, and breakfast on the first floor. They even restock the in-room mini-fridge with complimentary beverages. First off, the transportation is super convenient, accessible from both Exit 5 and Exit 7 of Busan Station subway. Once you exit the subway, one side is a main road and the other is a commercial street. The hotel is located just behind the commercial street. However, if you have luggage, you absolutely need to find the elevator exit, otherwise, you'll be dealing with a lot of stairs! Exit 5 is directly opposite the elevator exit. Once you see the archway, head inside, and when you spot a GS25 convenience store, turn right. Walk a few steps along the right side of the road, and you'll see the hotel on your right. If you come out of Exit 7, you'll see another GS25. Turn left, walk to the end, then turn left again. Walk a bit further, and the hotel will be on your left. I've included some pictures below for your reference, hope they help! I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time. The only thing I found a bit odd was the lack of a trash can in the bathroom, but everything else was perfect.

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

The room was incredibly spacious with great natural light. The bathroom featured a huge, roomy bathtub. I was on the fifth floor. Although the platform said check-in was at 3 PM, I arrived early in the morning just hoping to store my luggage. To my surprise, the kind gentleman at the front desk checked me in right away! It was amazing 🥹🥹🥹. Right outside the hotel, there's a bus stop that takes you directly to the go-karting place, and the go-karting itself was so much fun with the pass card I bought! Later, I took a taxi around 4 AM to Busan Station to catch a train back to Seoul, and it was super quick. An Uber ride was about 5,200 won. The beach was absolutely beautiful, but unfortunately, I didn't have flip-flops, so I only played for a little while. I'd definitely love to stay here again next time!

Location near Haeundae Market, easy transportation, bus stop next to guesthouse, many foods around, near to Haeundae Beach, no elevator, stairs up from the road, I’ve got 3rd floor, receptionist is on the 2nd floor. Free drinking water, microwave, cutlery. The host is very friendly and helpfull.

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.

The hotel is located just off Nampo Station, with two CU convenience stores nearby and close to a well-organized street lined with large stores like Converse and ABC Mart. It was very clean and excellent. I booked it for a BTS concert, and the price remained the same as advertised. I really wished I could have stayed longer. I'll definitely choose this hotel again next time I visit Busan.

Excellent not expensive option, clean, quiet, quiet. Women with low social responsibility are led to the first floor. Big towels weren 't in the room.

Great room with all the amenities you'll need available. Easy check in and out. Excellent location right by the main nightlife area.

I stayed here just a few days before, and chose to stay here yet again after coming back from an excursion to Busan. The self check-in process is smooth even after the check-in counter is closed at late night. Perfect location if you arrive into Seoul train station at midnight, either from Korail or airport train. Even if all metros lines are closed. You can just walk to the guesthouse within 10 mins from Seoul station. During the day, there is a metro station at your doorsteps connecting to Seoul Station in 1 stop. The room is clean and warm. The owner is very friendly.

I stayed here for an extended period with my wife and our 3- and 4-year-old children. There's a convenience store, a tonkatsu restaurant, and a pizza place nearby, so it was great for the kids. My family and I walked to the laundromat to do our laundry. It's a little far, but it's a good place to stop by on your way out for dinner.
