The property is very close to the metro station, which is convenient. The coffee machine in the lobby was much appreciated. The bed was comfortable. The laundry room was helpful, but a few lines of instruction in English would be good to have. However, the hotel is quite dated and super dark, the hallways are disconcerting in that sense, with dark green walls. My room was strange, with 3 separate cabins for bathtub, shower, and toilet, yet the sink was attached to the bed !!!? Not super clean either, maybe since everything is so old it could not be any better, but certainly that room saw better days.

Dusty, dirty, old
Doesn't look anything like it does online. Couch was old and torn up, mirrors had handprints and marks all over them, dust everywhere, things falling apart being held together with tape, and ROACHES. Roaches would crawl out of the phone, the tissue box, etc. I saw them on the walls, in the corners, and even had one run across the bed as I was laying in it. The only thing this place has going for it is the location. Spend a bit more money for some actual cleanliness and comfort.

You see what you get
One of the few hotels where the pictures match the room. The experience was everything I could have hoped for in a weekend getaway. Spacious rooms, comfortable bed and couch, and friendly staff. The beach is just a few blocks away too. What a trip!

First Time to Busan
I had an interesting time at this hotel. First the good: definitely very close to the beach 3/5 minutes walk. Right besides Haeundae food alley which is perfect, you can walk to everything. As described on their site close to the major attractions. Definitely take a walk around Dongbaek Island day and night you can see the Gwangan Bridge from a great view. The staff at the hotel were very friendly, there was a problem with my room and they did everything they could to make my stay better. Even switch my room until I was happy. The manager remembered me by name and check in on me throughout my stay. Plus they really do have a full laundry room service, 24 hrs and it’s free! The only thing I can say unpleasing was the smell a few times around the hotel on certain floors, housekeeping can do a more detail job of cleaning especially the bathrooms, and to make sure everything is working in a room before booking it out. Overall good stay and probably would stay again.

Marginal place
Overall it wasn't too bad. Only thing was that I had to go deep into the alley in order for me to go to hotel. Also, breakfast was 11,000 (KRW) which was very pricy compared to the quality and type of food that they had.

Very nice location next to heundae beach . Hotel needs better cleaning, breakfast is ok but always the same like most places in Korea . Room size is good . A bit above average hotel. Front desk was friendly and with few English manage to help us .

Great location, comfy, good breakfast.
My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 kids) was very comfortable in the High Deluxe Twin Room 401. Lots of space, kitchenette with mini fridge, although not that many utensils. Beds were one of the most comfortable we've had in Korea, bedding was warm and soft. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise with a small salad bar, 3 soups (black sesame, seaweed,cream), scrambled eggs, bacon, rice/fried rice, sausages, pancakes and coffee station which dispensed americano, latte, hot chocolate or cappuccino. This breakfast was included with our room and was the same everyday during our 4days here. Tub was large...just no shower curtain however this is not uncommon in Korea. If this is your first experience in Korea, it may seems strange. So water basically gets everywhere when you shower but that's why there's bathroom slippers. Just wish there was a squigy to push the water on the tile down the drain. Lots of extra toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, facial lotion, hairspray and gel, toothbrush and even hair brushes). Staff was wonderful and helpful despite minimal English. Location was 2 minute to the Main Street and all the restaurants. Diaso is less than 5 minutes. Highly recommend this property.

A good and comfort stay
The location of the hotel is very good and with very reasonable price, only 5-6 mins walk to the subway exit no.5 & 7 and bus station, also very close to the shopping area and many restaurants nearby, very convenient for everything, I have had a comfort stay there but except the air conditioner doesn't work on the first night. Will come back again if I have chance to visit to Haeundae again. One recommendation to the hotel - I would strongly recommend the hotel to provide the guests with at least English translation for everything in the room, as all information were only in Korean, like the TV messages on the screen, the machine for the toilet bidet ..., that would be very helpful for the guests whom they didn't know Korean.

Thanks for your stay with us. Thank you very much for taking time to give us the feedback. we will prepare English information and provide it during the next visit. We apologize for any inconvenience. We look forward to you visit our hotel again.

Surprised in a good way!
I booked this hotel online at the last minute and am very pleased that I did! My wife and I stayed there 2 nights over the Memorial day weekend and could not have been happier. We did not expect a 5 star hotel but it was a great deal and the breakfast was very nice.
Thank you very much for using our hotel. We will do our best to provide better service. I hope you will always have a good time and would like to see you next time. Thanks

Not good for non-smokers
It was decent in a very convenient location, closer to the subway and the beach. However, they don't differentiate smoking versus non-smoking rooms, so the room smelled. If you are sensitive, I do not recommend this place.

Comfortable and quiet for sleeping
I enjoyed this hotel especially appreciating the good sized bathroom - good breakfast available though selection was moderate rather than exhaustive. Took a while to figure out how to work the air-conditioning - the reception staff explained it to me - however perhaps it would be good for them to have a guide in other languages to show what to do with the remote. Happy to stay here again.

JB Hotel- Haeundae - Busan
hotel was clean, but our only complaint was we had been put in a smoking room when we had asked for a non smoking room! When I asked at reception they at first said they didn't have a non smoking room, but after a while came to us and said we could change our room which turned out to be a non smoking room! Also I had paid for a larger room which I am not too sure we ended up with! Having said that we will stay at this hotel again as it is in a convenient place for the restaurants/bars in the area, also close to the beach
