Experience of the stay
The location is outstanding, making it a recommended hotel for those visiting Busan for the first time.
It's just a short walk from BIFF Square.
The popular Olive Young is nearby, so it's very convenient to shop until close and return to the hotel quickly.
There's a convenience store on the first floor of the hotel, and Starbucks is also within the same building, plus Lotteria is just a short walk away, making it easy to grab a quick snack or drink.
Of course, Nampo-dong and Jagalchi Market are within walking distance, and it's really convenient to walk over to Yeongdo as well.
Calling a taxi with the Uber app brings the car right below the hotel, which is convenient (taxis are inexpensive in Korea, so I recommend it).
The lobby is spacious, with free coffee makers and massage chairs available, which really helps to relax sore bodies after sightseeing.
You can also go out to the terrace at the back of the lobby, and sitting there with a cup of coffee while feeling the outside air was a nice little reward time.
Many of the front desk staff can speak Japanese, and they are very polite. There are many Japanese guests, providing a reassuring atmosphere.
The rooms have a simple yet chic design, with a clean and calming space. There was water prepared in the refrigerator, and when I forgot my voltage converter, they lent me one at the front desk, which was very helpful.
There is no bathtub, but the shower room is equipped with a basic chair, which is a nice touch as it allows you to sit and take a shower comfortably.
You can feel the thoughtful touches all around that make your stay in Busan comfortable, and I truly thought, "I’m glad I chose this place." I would love to stay here again; that’s how I feel.
Experiences during the trip
In the morning, I walked to Jagalchi Market.
The market, bustling with fresh seafood and steaming stalls, brims with energy and you can feel invigorated just by watching.
During my stay, I visited the market twice, and it became a pleasure to enjoy the atmosphere during my morning walks.
The park with Busan Tower is also within walking distance.
In the park halfway up, locals were exercising, and there was a pleasant atmosphere created by the installed workout equipment. I also participated a little, and it felt like a delightful interaction that relaxed my heart.
I also visited Yeongdo, a place I had been to before.
One of the charms of this place is that you can walk across the bridge; strolling while feeling the sea breeze was truly a pleasant time.
There are also stylish cafes scattered around, making it my favorite area for a quiet moment.
For shopping enthusiasts, BIFF Square and Olive Young are also recommended.
Even if you enjoy shopping until the last minute before closing, it's close enough to return to the hotel quickly, allowing for a relaxed stay.
It's fun to extend your visit using a taxi or bus, but even with just a 2-night stay, I was able to fully enjoy Nampo-dong.
