Our take
We stayed here for G-STAR, the game expo at BEXCO, in a Superior Double on the 22nd floor. It is a work-trip hotel done well: check-in took no time, the room had a real desk by the window, the bathroom was spotless and nights were quiet. The window looks at the building across the street and the bathroom has a shower only, so this is not the place for a view or a soak.
The location is the selling point. Exit 3 of Haeundae Station is about a minute away, the beach is five minutes on foot, and a convenience store, Starbucks, Olive Young and Daiso are across the road. Try the make-your-own pork and rice soup at breakfast, a Busan specialty. The elevators are split between low and high floors and get busy when tour groups are in. There is no toothbrush and no USB port in the room, so bring an adapter or pick both up at Daiso.
Where is it?
Haeundae & Songjeong, Busan: Busan's beach coast: Haeundae's 1.5 km of sand lined with five-star and value hotels, and quieter Songjeong and Osiria a few stops east, with surf, the Blueline Park coastal train and Lotte World Busan.
Getting there

What locals say
Locals have left over 3,600 reviews. The location is the selling point: right by Haeundae Station with shops all around, at a low price. Rooms are clean, staff are friendly, and there is a gym, a laundry room and an ice machine. Rooms are on the small side, there are no bathrobes, some guests mention thin walls, a smoke smell or tired carpets, and parking is charged.
