For a cheap hotel it was very amazing. The lobby to the staff to the room itself was amazing. We were lucky enough to get a balcony. Tap had minor leak and staff were straight onto it and fixed by the time we came back. Amazing location next to many food places and public transport. I will be back!
Wonderful!!! My husband and I are from the U.S. and it’s difficult to find a hotel to accommodate us. Baymond hotel was a amazing in every aspect! Check in was really easy, the woman checking us in spoke English very well. You can’t check in until exactly 3 pm so don’t come expecting to check in early!! The breakfast buffet was average nothing amazing but, it did the job. The coffee in the morning was really good. Our room was beyond our expectations and just beautiful. The bed was really comfortable and we slept great. The pool side area was also perfect, the service and pool temperature. The hot tub wasn’t very hot and there weren’t any bubbles. Hey I’m not picky so I had a beer anyways!!! I highly recommend the chicken wings by the pool. Some of the best wings I’ve ever had. All of the employees were very polite and welcoming. I will stay here again!
Stayed here for one night in June 2019. Got an amazing luxurious room with panorama view over the harbor. The biggest room I have ever seen in a hotel. Very clean (extra plus). The staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel had a bar on the top floor, able to order amazing
pastries (French inspired). The breakfast at the hotel was amazing! Tasty, fresh and generous breakfast (French and Korean).
Located close to the Lotte Department Store (just a short walk over the bridge).
We didn't stay at the hostel, but we did spend much of our time in the down stairs bar called the beehive! It's a cozy little bar just off the main strip (great location). The owner was incredibly helpful at recommending drinks and had a pretty impressive craft beer selection! He speaks English and is very friendly! Loved the atmosphere, highly recommend! Definitely planning to return to this place and hopefully stay at the hostel next time!
A true gem! We stayed at Hotel Intro Oct 10-14, 2019. The hotel opened April 2019. It is a cute boutique hotel just a few blocks away from Haeundae Beach and a few blocks from the metro station. First and foremost the customer service was excellent. We happened to arrive early morning so it was not check-in time yet. The front desk gentleman suggested to go to the Busan International Film Festival to kill time and we had a great time. Our room had a king bed, equipped with a refrigerator with 2 bottles of water daily. The room was decent sized for 2 adults, also included a desk with 1 sitting area with small table. Very clean and modern. Nearby is the Haeundae Beach, Haeundae Market and just one stop on the metro away from the Shingae shopping mall. It’s an hour away by metro from the famous Jalagchi fish market and about 35 mins to Seomyon area. We enjoyed not being near all the hustle and bustle but still easily accessible to those areas by metro. Although I’m sure during peak season the area where the hotel is located is quite busy due to the beach. On Saturday & Sunday they deliver breakfast to your door. It was yummy! Egg, ham and cheese sandwich, with 2 boxes of fruit drinks, bananas and nuts. We would also like the front desk gentleman at check-out who offered to take our postcards to the post office. We highly recommend this hotel and can’t wait to return for another visit.
Tips: There is no safe in the room.
It is warm during winter here. This hostel has proper heating facilities, so even corridors are heated. Many other hostels have limited heating or even if there is heating in the room, it is not sufficient in shared dorm rooms. Anyway sometimes you get weird guests living in your same room.
Nice and affordable hotel. Great location, which is also one of its downsides. Can get very loud especially during the weekends. I could hear the karaoke bar from across the street even with earplugs on.
We had the most pleasant stay in The Hound Hotel. Is has a great location, close to the Busan Tower, shopping streets and food/restaurants. Near by there are bus stops and a metro station. The hotel is very clean and modern, the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was beautiful and equipped with all needed items. It had the most comfortable bed which we loved! For breakfast different beverages, cereal and 3 different sandwiches with salad to choose from (no vegan options). A big recommendation from my side!
I try to keep this list very up to date. It was last edited in January 2025. You can help me make this page better, for example by letting me know of a hipster hotel that should be on the list. Click here to get in touch. Thanks!
