"I stayed here with my boyfriend during our trip to Busan, and we were really happy with our stay. The hotel is very close to Suyeong Station, so it was easy to get around and visit Gwangalli and Centum City. There’s a convenience store and Daiso right in front of the hotel, and we also enjoyed exploring Paldo Market and the local restaurants nearby. The room was very clean, and the bed and bedding were especially comfortable. After walking around Busan all day, it was really nice to come back...
