The local restaurant had great Korean food. And it was walking distance to a convenience store and shopping areas and Uber was easy to use. Was close to everything and the hotels vibes were great!

I have stayed at this property 5 times over the past 15 years. Staff at the lounge was typical for latest generation. Not engaging or friendly at all. More interested in their phone or computer than their customers. Very stingy on “bar peanuts “ and just not very friendly at all. Attempts to strike up conversations were awkward. Rooms were very warm and opening the window was no help. Room temperature was about 78 F the entire time

Staff are nice, property was clean but there were holes in bedsheets and covers (they were clean but old) and when i stayed, there was a big group on my floor that was making so much noise, i barely slept.

I love this hotel!
Highly recommend this hotel. All of the staff was extremely friendly and the front desk spoke English. The hotel is beyond gorgeous and the photos do not do it justice. The swimming pool was wonderful too. I will definitely be booking this hotel again.

Great stay!
The Commodore hotel is pretty unique in its exterior and interior structure/decor. The hotel staff was very helpful and even provided recommendations when we asked for them. The room came with a great view of the harbor and was kept clean. For the two of us, the room was quite spacious as well. We also had the breakfast provided by the hotel..for an extra fee...and it was great! Definitely worth the cost as well. The hotel is located near the popular markets and tourist areas, however, be ready to walk for a good 15-25 mins, depending on where you go. The hotel bar is great as well, and when that closes up, there is a tiny little bar across from the hotel that is opened till late. The train station is about a 5 mins cab ride or a 15-20 min walk from the hotel. I would definitely recommend it for folks that want to explore Busan's harbor area.

Not worth it
We were disappointed all in all with this hotel. The pool wasn’t in use due to construction and in 2019 the only spa services available were for men only?! The location also made access to town difficult. We had accidentally stayed in a live motel the night before, and I think that was a better experience than the commodore

If you turned the thermostat down to 58 deg F in the room the lowest the room temperature ever got down to was 76 deg F. We had to check out early from the hotel do to the typhoon that came in that Sunday due to the fact the ship we were working on was going to Japan. I found out late the night before and was still charged for that day for the day. Asked for terms from hotel stating such and never received. Would never stay at this hotel again!

We originally booked this hotel based off its external appearance and were more than impressed to see that it continued within the building. Our room was quite spacious and one could truly feel comfortable in there. There were many plug points which was fantastic. The cleaning staff always did an excellent job on tidying up our room. The only potential downside was that the bathroom seemed a little dated.

Air conditioning and cleanliness
This hotel is disgusting and the staff needs retraining. 1. Six months worth of dust surrounding the air conditioner. 2. The refrigerator in the mini bar still had the last guest's half finished Chilsung cider in it. So, much for cleaning the room. 3. The air conditioner couldn't keep the room cool, but since it was on, it was acceptable to the staff. 4. The front desk gentlemen tried to haggle the price if the room and charge me a suite rate for a standard room.

Not as said on any website
Far from any metro stations, at the peak of summer, swimming pool is not open, gym and sauna is for man only! Room is ok but air conditions remains at 25-27 degree, the corridor is cooler than the inside of the room! There is a shuttle only runs every 40mins, with reduced service on Sunday and No shuttle on Monday. Staff's English is minimal, barely answer your question and with no extra information unless you ask in details.

great location, close to KTX station, 10 minute walk, also close to many outdoor markets. Love the traditional Korean hotel, all the old features. Great view over the ocean. Front desk is a bit ltd with their English. room rate was great. would stay there again.

Traditional-style hotel overlooking Busan Harbor
For half the price of the more luxurious hotels in Busan, the Commodore gives you a comfortable and relaxing stay in a beautiful old Korean-style hotel set on a hill. The rooms have stunning views. It's a short walk to Busan Station (where you can catch the hop-on-hop-off City Tour buses) and a slightly longer walk to Jagalchi and Gugkje markets, with plenty of public transport options. The housekeeping staff are fantastic---very detail-oriented. The food is good and reasonably priced, although the telephone system can be frustrating, so ordering room service is a bit of an adventure! (and service hours are limited, e.g. you can't order breakfast until 7.30 am). Overall, a great place to stay in Busan---good value for money.
