Toyoko Inn Busan Station No.1
Although the hotel is a bit outdated, it is very clean and well maintained. The water pressure is excellent, making a warm, long shower at the end of the day incredibly relaxing. The daily breakfast is healthy and tasty. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again if I visit ...

Shilla Stay Busan Haeundae
Good property, not the best when travelling with kids as the rooms are not as big. However there are lots of dining options and a block away from the haeundae beach, it was easily walkable. Lots of options for dining and convenience; all pretty accessible.
