Experience of the stay
It's very close to Busan Station, and the taxi stand is nearby.
I chose an ocean view room, and it was nice to see the illuminated Busan Grand Bridge at night.
The room only had a shower booth and no bathtub. The hot/cold shower handle was hard to figure out; I had to turn it the opposite way than I thought to get water (laughs).
I couldn’t book a twin room this time, so I opted for a double, but the bed was uncomfortable for two people (soft and vibrations from turning easily transferred).
Breakfast was an additional 23,000 won, and late checkout for one hour was 22,000 won, which could be requested on the day.
The staff at the front desk only spoke English or Korean, but they were polite and helped me with booking calls and took care of my luggage.
I recommend it for those who want to move around using the train or city tour bus centered around Busan Station, as it is a convenient location.
Experiences during the trip
I arrived at Busan Port in the morning on the Panstar Miracle and chose a hotel in front of Busan Station where I could drop off my luggage.
This time, it was a trip focused on the food of Busan.
There are famous Milmyeon and Daeji Gukbap restaurants close to the hotel, and a store that sells abalone porridge is also within walking distance. While there were long lines during lunch, going at night often allowed for smoother entry.
There are many bakeries and cafes inside Busan Station, so I had no trouble finding breakfast.
Taxis were reasonably priced, so I used them often. Setting up Kakao Taxi or Uber apps in Japan is convenient.
I visited attractions like Gukje Market, BIFF Square, Busan Tower, and the Songdo Cable Car, but it was quite hot, and I was exhausted. I tried a Starbucks drink with a limited menu available only in Korea.
Since I sweated a lot, I also went to a coin laundry. It took about a 10-minute walk from the hotel, and I think the area near Chinatown was the closest (searched on NAVER MAP).
