Busan Hostels

It’s a new facility, so it’s clean and it feels like everything has been well thought out — they even have bidet toilets. There are money operated laundry machines in the basement, which were handy, just be sure to put your money in after you’ve loaded the washer, because the timer starts counting down as soon as you put it in. If you have a bigger suitcase it won’t fit in the locker, but there’s plenty of storage space and CCTV everywhere. The people who work there are very helpful and patient. Self check-in and check-out was a plus, it’s also well located (only a few stops from Busan station). Breakfast is quite simple (cereal, juices, coffee, bread), but sufficient. The capsules are quite soacious and have fans inside, which is a plus.

The transportation is very convenient, only more than 200 meters away from the MRT station. If you rent a car, you also provide free parking service. The service attitude is good. You can store your luggage before and after check-in. The environment is clean and the overall is comfortable.

We loved our stay at The First Ocean Gwangan! The location was great. We had a good view of Gwangalli Beach and the stunning Gwangan Bridge. It took us less than 10mins to walk from the nearest metro station. There were bus stops and plenty of shops and eateries nearby. The room was clean and had all the amenities that we needed. We really appreciated having a washer in the room. The bathroom was small. Response from staff were fast and helpful. Check in and out were easy. Luggage storage was available for early arrivals. Just follow the instructions given by the staff.

The place was a bit dirty when we arrived, hair in the bathroom in the sink and some stains on the walls as well. Walls are extremely thin, you can hear people outside of your room and your neighbors enjoying their night. For the price I paid, I’m not going to complain. However, the workers were extremely nice, if you don’t mind the transportation time, I would recommend.

It was easy to understand the location because it was close to Exit 2. There were olive young, mega coffee, GS25, etc. nearby, so it is convenient for shopping. Two bottles of water and towels were replenished every day while I was out. Recently, there are many hotels with amenities that do not have toothbrushes, but it was in this hotel. There was no shower curtain, but if you were careful, the toilet wouldn't get wet and the floor was dry the next day, so it wasn't bad.

We were a group of four agricultural professionals from Japan, visiting Busan for a food exhibition at BEXCO (as sellers) and some sightseeing. We stayed at the Billy Hotel for 4 nights, and it was the perfect accommodation, making our Busan exhibition and trip a huge success! Event excursions, especially when preparing for the display and sale of agricultural products, often involve a lot of luggage and can be quite tiring. However, from the moment we booked, the owner meticulously and very kindly confirmed everything from the number of guests to our preferences for heating and cooling. We were deeply impressed by their professional and warm consideration even before check-in. The moment we opened the door to our room, we were all thrilled by the simple, stylish, clean, and sophisticated interior! It was an incredibly comfortable and relaxing space, perfect for preparing for the exhibition and organizing our business negotiations for the next day. Furthermore, the hotel had implemented a state-of-the-art smart system that allowed us to intuitively control in-room facilities like air conditioning and lighting with just a smartphone app. This was surprisingly convenient and a true blessing for our tired bodies after a long day of standing. Throughout our 4-night stay, the owner not only promptly replenished consumables like towels but also provided quick and kind support on everything from access to the BEXCO venue and nearby transportation to recommendations for delicious restaurants where we could unwind after a day's work. This gave us a great sense of security while participating in business in a foreign country. The location was also excellent, making travel to BEXCO and Busan's tourist attractions very smooth, allowing us to stick to our schedule without any time loss. The warm hospitality, the latest smart facilities, and the clean and comfortable environment were all perfect. I wholeheartedly and strongly recommend this hotel to anyone planning an exhibition, business trip, or sightseeing in Busan! Thank you very much!

I had to make a last-minute reservation during the holiday season, so I couldn't get a detailed look. The location was a bit disappointing, as it was about a 40-50 minute drive to Seomyeon, Gwangalli, and Haeundae. However, for the price - the room was spacious, the facilities were good, and the service (a simple breakfast was provided) was decent. However - When I checked in, there was a toothbrush under the sink that someone had dropped. The air conditioning was too cold on power mode and too hot on other modes - it didn't seem to adjust well. The air conditioning was quite noisy, so those with sensitive skin might have trouble sleeping. There was no ambient noise (since it's near an industrial complex, it was very quiet during the holiday).

The hotel is very close to Gwangalli Beach. There may be noise from the beach until late, but it is a double window, so it is not a big problem. Considering that it is not a luxury hotel, it was surprisingly good that there was a stylus in the room that could disinfect clothes, and the simple cafe at the entrance was also useful. Considering the cost performance, it is a good choice.

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.
