A friend and I spent a weekend in Busan last summer and were looking for a hotel without any unnecessary luxury and with a good connection to public transfer since we were there to explore the city.||||Let me share my impression of the most important factors.||||Price:||Perfect. Nothing more needs to be said.||||Location:||Just a few steps away from the next subway station and only a few stations away from popular places like Haeundae Beach, Busan Tower or Beomeosa temple (even though you will have to take a bus to take you up the hill to the temple) or the harbor.||||There were some quite suspicious establishments in the vicinity, but everyone should know that not everything about the 2nd biggest city of an economic country is fancy and beautiful. Whatever is going on there is kept inside though, so it did not bother us.||||Reception and staff:||Hard to say, we did not see anybody else than the one guy at the reception. No red carpet for the price, but he was heplful and check-in and payment were a matter of seconds. 24h reception which is crucial for city trips.||||Room:||Twin-bed, enough space for two people. Bathroom en suite, everything clean and functional. Small TV (Korean TV is awesome). We had a room in the 12th floor with a fantastic view of Busan nightscene. Again, no luxury, but if you are looking for that you probably won't be reading this review in the first place.||||Conclusion:||A clear recommendation for everyone that is looking for budget hotel with a good connection to public transport. I would choose this hotel again for a short trip to beautiful (but dirty) Busan.||||Feel free to contact me if you have...

I've stayed here several times and each time my room had a great view of the city and the mountains beyond. The TV picked up about 70 channels, more than any other budget hotel I've stayed at in Asia or the States, and you can find ample restaurants and nightlife of all kinds just outside the hotel. Some guests might be put off by the yellow linoleum floors or lack of water boilers in the rooms (for drinking water, that is - the bathroom has hot running water). If all you really need is a comfortable, safe place to sleep at night, though, the Central Hotel offers an...
Read moreJust a normal hotel good for place to sleep and shower. Location is near the yeonsam station and surround med by local restaurants. Several convenience stores in the area. The hotel is simple. Reception area is on third floor. The reception staff is friendly and speaks English. The rooms is ok size, the bed linen and toilet have visible stains upon my check in. If you have big luggage, a bit challenge due to space. They handed over toothbrush and razor once upon check in. They do housekeeping daily. Provided two bottles drinking water daily. Can open the window which is quite good especially during spring or autumn. I may go back to this hotel but will try another hotel on my next...
