Best Sea View Hotels in Busan, Find the Lowest Prices

"Trip.com had a mismatch with this booking and I stayed at Hyoi Stay Busan Songdo. It's the same hotel as they said, just a different name. It's also the same building and room type was identical. So my review is for Hyoi Stay. Great hotel, new, very clean room with a washing machine and a dryer. Location is also great, view from the room was beautiful. Hotel is like airbnb, room also had a kitchen and a balcony. Very helpful and nice manager met me near entrance of the building to help find the office on 3rd floor to check-in. Now, if you don't have a car and don't use taxi, be careful as the walk from the bus stop is going downhill and if you have a heavy bag coming back up can be hard. Even with this it's only 10 minutes walk from bus stop. Overall 5/5 loved it, would gladly stay again."

"THE GOOD It's important to understand that this is an affordable hostel with a view but is not as fancy as it may seem in the photos. You're not going to get a luxury, super-comfortable stay with a bay view at this low of price. Speaking of the view, it's very nice during the day and at night from the top floor breakfast room and the bay view rooms on the levels right below it. Speaking of breakfast, you do have to cook the eggs yourself, but there are three burners and some other good food options, too. We also had a great experience with the staff at the reception desk, who were friendly, helpful, and apologetic about any issues. The WiFi was good, with a modem and router in each room. The location is great, too, if you love shopping streets, street food, fish markets, wharfs, and a more locals side of Busan. Access to the subway and buses is incredible, so you can get over to Haeudae Beach, Gwangali Beach, Dadaepo Beach, Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan Station (for trains to Seoul and Gyeongju), and more, but if you want to frequent Haeudae, it's kind of a long haul from here. THE NOT-SO-GOOD Our bay view room was a bit gimmicky, because while the view was nice, the room is quite small, has flimsy furniture, and lacks hooks (except the one in the window where the sun will fade your clothes). The wall of windows is cool to look through, but in May, we had the curtains closed 99% of the time because the south-facing room gets blasted by the sun and the AC isn't powerful enough to counteract it. The room was in need of maintenance, too, with ruined flooring due to a poor bathroom door design and things starting to fall apart in the bathroom. Speaking of the bathroom, if you need 100% total privacy, it may not work for you. The shade over the very large window is barely sufficient in its thickness, and it has a two-inch gap on either side where you can see down to the street 9 stories below (see photo). You have to stand in a specific spot in the bathroom while showering with the handheld showerhead in order to feel entirely private, and you have to be very careful to not spray the leaky door. We also discovered that things that aren't used regularly can be dusty, and we found dust bunnies in the hallways. The bed also had a firm, squeaky spring mattress that didn't encourage the greatest sleep. If you're a backpacker or budget traveler like us, you'll find this place passable (especially for the price, location, and breakfast), but if you have normal hotel standards, this hostel may not meet them."

"This hotel is super close to Busan Station, literally just over a hundred meters away, making it a five-minute walk. I stayed here for two nights out of my six-day trip to Korea. The location is fantastic, with easy access to both the subway and trains. The front desk is on the third floor. When we checked in, the guy at reception spoke English. Luckily, my wife's English is good enough to communicate, as I couldn't really understand much. There are plenty of places to eat nearby; we just popped into a restaurant downstairs and had some decent pork cutlet and udon. Plus, there's a convenience store, Starbucks, and even a foot massage place right downstairs. The room was pretty clean, and I'd say it's a decent hotel by Korean standards."

"1. Facilities: Fully equipped and convenient. 2. Hygiene: Clean and tidy, making for a very comfortable stay. 3. Environment: Comfortable and quiet, with a 24-hour convenience store right downstairs, which is incredibly handy. 4. Service: Warm, polite, and excellent attitude."

"My first trip to Busan was an unpleasant experience. The battery in the room's password lock was low. There was no one at the front desk after 10 PM, which made me feel helpless as a traveler. Fortunately, Ms. Hana Jo from the hotel next door was incredibly helpful; she called the hotel's customer service to communicate. After much negotiation, the hotel suggested we move to another hotel. Without any toiletries, clothes, or personal belongings, we felt completely insecure. We decided to buy a new door lock battery ourselves and asked the hotel again for technical support. Eventually, the hotel sent an older gentleman to try the battery. After two hours of repeated attempts, the lock was finally opened. The hotel should seriously review its operational support hours; otherwise, it will only cause inconvenience to travelers, damage the hotel's reputation, and create a poor impression for guests."

"The cleaning was not thorough. Corners were dusty. You can find disposable eye drops and shower gel sachet left behind by previous guests. The towel bar dropped and the induction stove cannot be used. The least they could do was to provide a microwave, else it defeats the purpose of staying at an apartment. Bath towels were not provided when we checked in and we need to wait for a day for the towels. There was no floor mat and hence we bought a floor mat from daiso. The blind in the room was thin and hence the room got very bright from 6am. Suggest you apply sunscreen to sleep. For some reason, there were fruit flies from the 3rd day onwards, even though we left the trash outside the apartment before we start the day Other than the above, the stay was comfortable."

"The room was really smart! This was my first time booking an apartment hotel, and I was surprised that I had to pick up the key card myself and transfer elevators. Luckily, my husband and daughter speak English, otherwise it would have been a huge hassle and time-consuming. The room was quite expensive. We used all the facilities in the room, and they were excellent, especially the washer and dryer. There's a CU convenience store on the first floor. I stayed on the 55th floor, and I'm actually afraid of heights. This year, I've really faced all my fears related to heights!"
