Top Gwangan-dong Hotel Reviews

Ramada Encore by Wyndham Busan Station

10/10 Excellent

"I will plan to stay at this hotel again. Enjoyed my stay here."

Kent Hotel Gwangalli by Kensington

10/10 Excellent

"Right across the street from Gwangali Beach. Very convenient location next to shops/restaurants along the beachfront. Very friendly staff. Many people discuss the hotel only having 2 elevators; personally, I never had issue with having to wait more than a minute. Busan is much more spread out but thankfully the subway station is about a ~10 minute walk from the hotel and is extremely easy to take and get around. No laundry on site but there are 24-hour laundromats nearby (if needed, check out Laundry Club just before the subway station 👍)."

Toyoko Inn Busan Station No.1

10/10 Excellent

"The free breakfast is just right, balance meal with salad, protein, fermented foods, soup, carbo and drinks. The bedsheets are clean and white, bathroom typical japanese hotel cr. The location is perfect, easy transport to all the best of Busan places. The hotel is next to Busan station and in the front is the Busan city tour bus for 20,000 won for whole day tour, just transfer to all the tour color, red, orange and green. The staff are nice and helpful. Happy to stay in this hotel and planning to do again in the future."

HOTEL GUESS WHO

10/10 Excellent

"We loved the Hotel Guess Who! The room was quite large for three people. Enjoyed the separate seating area which held all our luggage as well as the large soaker tub. The room was very clean. Steps away from the beach with many options to eat. We’d love to return again in future. Don’t forget to visit the Café 181 on 15th floor. The view was beautiful!"

Busan Yeongmu Parade Hotel Haeundae Beach

8/10 Good

"Hard to find hotel as no name outside and looks like a just a coffee shop. Name is in small letters on the door. It was heavy rain for the 2 days we were there and no one was drying the floor so very slippy all the time. Staff not the friendliest. However once we got to our room (ocean premier double) it was huge with full kitchen sofa and washing machine. However nothing proved in the kitchen such as spoons for tea and coffee plates/ cutlery. Not sure why it had a stove as no pots or pans .bed was super comfortable. Saying all this had the best night's sleep in the bed! Would probably stay again."

Grand Josun Busan

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional quality of service and attention. One of the best hotel that I have stayed in. The staff went out of the way, from door men to attending staff to make you welcome and enjoy their hospitality. Right at the beach and accessible to main attractions by Taxi. The concierge were helpful in meeting our request. Truly memorable stay and will recommend to all. I will confess that I was upgraded to an ocean facing suite as expedia gold member and was given a bottle of wine but that was beside the point."

Haeundae Seacloud Hotel Residence

8/10 Good

"Excellent location! So close to the street market and lots of stores and restaurants. The beach is right across the street too! You do have to deal with having to use 2 separate elevators to get to your room or go downstairs. We had a washer in the room and were able to use a drying rack. Overall it was a very nice stay."
