Ostelli a Pusan

L'hotel si trova a soli due minuti a piedi dalla stazione della metropolitana di Choryang. Da qui, è possibile raggiungere l'aeroporto con la metropolitana, facendo un cambio. Proprio di fronte all'hotel passano anche numerose linee di autobus; ad esempio, per Haeundae c'è l'autobus diretto 1003. Anche la funivia di Songdo è facilmente raggiungibile con un autobus diretto, con pochi minuti di cammino dalla fermata. La camera al settimo piano in cui ho soggiornato questa volta era pulita.

We stayed in this hotel for 6 nights recently and it was a really beautiful location. It's directly across from Gwangali beach, which meant that waking up every morning we could hear the ocean and from our terrace we had a great half-view of the beach. The amenities provided were towels, hair dryer, hair straightener, soap, shampoo, and conditioner. The room was a little small but it was very comfortable. It felt a little more like an airbnb than a hotel, as it had a kitchenette and washing machine. The tv had netflix and youtube premium as well, so overall the experience of staying here was positive! The only negative thing is that there is no front desk and there isn't a direct way to speak to staff if you need something. Additionally, theres's only 2 elevators and they get crowded very easily, as the building has 20 floors.

Era così pulito e ordinato, mi è piaciuto tantissimo👍 Il proprietario è stato molto gentile e ci ha fornito asciugamani e accappatoi, il che è stato molto gradito. Il materasso era un po' troppo duro, quindi avrei preferito che fosse un po' più morbido! A parte questo, non c'era nulla di cui lamentarmi. Anche la pulizia era eccellente.

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Hotel Elephant in Busan, and overall, it was a memorable experience. Located conveniently within the city, the hotel serves as a great base for travelers looking to explore Busan’s vibrant neighborhoods, beaches, and culinary spots. From check-in to check-out, my stay was smooth, and I found the hotel to be a solid mix of comfort, cleanliness, and character. Check-in & First Impressions: Upon arrival, I was greeted by courteous front desk staff who spoke basic English and were very accommodating. The check-in process was fast and efficient, with minimal hassle. The lobby itself was tastefully decorated—nothing extravagant, but definitely welcoming. It had a quirky charm that felt a bit more boutique than your average budget hotel. Room: I stayed in a standard double room, which was surprisingly spacious. The decor was modern and minimalist, with a few unique touches that gave it personality. The bed was large and comfortable, with clean, crisp linens. I appreciated the small details like a well-lit vanity area, USB charging ports, and a mini-fridge. The room also had good soundproofing, which meant I could rest peacefully even though the hotel is near a busy area. The bathroom was spotless, equipped with a full set of toiletries, and had a surprisingly luxurious rainfall shower. Water pressure was excellent, and hot water was consistent throughout my stay. Some rooms also offer jacuzzis or bathtubs, depending on the tier you book, which I thought was a great value. Amenities & Services: While Hotel Elephant isn’t a full-service luxury property, it offers everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. There’s a vending machine area, complimentary bottled water, and in-room amenities like a kettle, coffee, and tea. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, even during peak hours. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant or gym, but there are plenty of cafes and convenience stores nearby to make up for it. Housekeeping was thorough and respectful. My room was cleaned daily, and towels and toiletries were replenished without needing to request anything. Location: This is arguably one of the hotel’s strongest points. It’s just a short walk from a nearby subway station, which made commuting to places like Haeundae Beach, Jagalchi Market, and Gwangalli very easy. There are also tons of restaurants, bars, and local shops within walking distance. Whether you’re into street food or want to try Busan’s famous seafood, you’ll find great options nearby. If you’re into nightlife, there’s also plenty happening in the area, but thankfully, the hotel itself remains peaceful at night. Staff & Hospitality: Every staff member I interacted with was polite and eager to help. While not everyone was fluent in English, they made an effort to assist with directions, transportation tips, and even helping me book a cab using local apps. Their hospitality made the stay feel much warmer and more personal than I expected. Overall Impression: Hotel Elephant may not be a five-star hotel, but it delivers more than what you’d expect from its price point. It’s clean, cozy, and well-located—perfect for solo travelers, couples, or even friends on a budget-friendly getaway. If you’re visiting Busan and want a reliable place to stay that offers good value without compromising on comfort, this hotel is a solid pick. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Busan.

La posizione è fantastica e il prezzo è molto basso. Questo è il vantaggio. Gli svantaggi sono: non c'è acqua corrente (bisogna chiedere alla reception l'acqua in bottiglia), la spazzatura viene raccolta dopo che la si lascia fuori e non vengono sostituiti i sacchi. Bisogna chiedere alla reception per qualsiasi cosa. Ma soprattutto, abbiamo soggiornato 5 notti e la coperta elettrica si è rotta la quarta notte. Ce ne siamo accorti al risveglio e, dopo averlo segnalato, ci hanno detto che si era surriscaldata e che scollegandola per 3-4 ore si sarebbe risolta. Ma quando siamo tornati dallo shopping, era già sera e il personale della reception era cambiato. Ci hanno risposto che era troppo tardi e che nessuno poteva sostituirla. Quindi non abbiamo avuto una coperta elettrica per l'ultima notte! 😂 E per fortuna, la temperatura è improvvisamente calata e abbiamo patito il freddo! 🥶 Ho subito preso un farmaco antivirale potente. 🦠 (In allegato trovate la foto di una finestra che può essere usata come frigorifero.) 🤣

Super nice hostel with a great inferior design. The capsule was not too big to keep the luggage there but what to expect. The bathroom and shower was clean and hot water available. WiFi was working fast so you could work there. Location was close to the beach and a few minutes walk to the metro station. I highly recommend this hostel.

Un monolocale ispirato a un motel, con il nome dell'hotel. Il letto era grande quanto quello di un hotel, ma la stanza era piccola e fredda. Il giorno dopo è entrato in funzione il riscaldamento, ma il giorno prima c'era solo l'aria condizionata e niente riscaldamento, quindi io e la mia amica abbiamo avuto un po' di difficoltà. Sono forniti i prodotti da bagno, il che è comodo, ma non c'è il pettine, quindi se avete i capelli lunghi, portate il vostro. Viene fornito un accappatoio, ma non asciugamani grandi. Comunque, è pulito e c'è un sacco di cibo nelle vicinanze, il che è positivo.

Vicino al centro città, con facile accesso ai mezzi pubblici e minimarket appena fuori dai vicoli a sinistra e a destra: un hotel pulito e confortevole che vi farà sentire incredibilmente a vostro agio! 👍 Una scelta eccellente per il vostro prossimo viaggio a Busan, in Corea! 👍 📍Nelle vicinanze si trovano deliziosi ristoranti aperti 24 ore su 24 che servono zuppa di maiale e riso, oltre a caffetterie. 📍Acqua e caffè gratuiti per gli ospiti, Wi-Fi veloce.

I stayed here just a few days before, and chose to stay here yet again after coming back from an excursion to Busan. The self check-in process is smooth even after the check-in counter is closed at late night. Perfect location if you arrive into Seoul train station at midnight, either from Korail or airport train. Even if all metros lines are closed. You can just walk to the guesthouse within 10 mins from Seoul station. During the day, there is a metro station at your doorsteps connecting to Seoul Station in 1 stop. The room is clean and warm. The owner is very friendly.

I would say this is one of the worst hotel I have ever stayed. I booked for 3 nights under one booking but felt like 3 separate bookings. The hotel forces guests to pack up everything and check out before 08h00 in the morning and RECHECK-IN again at 23h00. There is no luggage storage available either. Imagining having to pack up every morning and having to find a storage at 8 in the morning, SPENDING 15 HOURS outside with 1/2 of the belongings in the backpack until it hits 23h00. retrieving the luggage from the storage which had to pay extra money to do so. 2 times for each day. reopen the luggage and repeat again and again. I booked 3 nights for a reason. so that I can leave my belongings in there. not to do the extra work. I don't sleep well at all, because of the planning o moving luggage in and out, plus paying extra for storage at different building far away. However not on a good note, the hotel charges almost 2 times more than the room rate per night to keep my luggage in the room during my whole stay. That means IF I had agreed to pay, I would have ended up paying equally to 7 nights. I did not sign up for that with the given rate every night, I will get new keycard to new room with different layouts. which is not a problem. it is clean and dfunctional. first room, it does not have mosquito net at the window. no wifi. I had to use other free wifi from outside which the signal is really low second room, it is better. best of the 3 nights. strong wifi. nicer bathroom. again without mosquito net, but it is acceptable. third room, it is almost the same as the first night, but it has its own wifi. great wifi too. overall, the bed is great. wifi is great in some room. showers are great. but the problem I described made everything bad.
