Very Good

Excellent warm welcome, cute, cosy, very clean, quirky, superb shower and bathroom, comfortable bed.
If you want luxury look elsewhere, if you want warm, quiet and cosy this is the place.
Plenty of food and drink places very close by including coffee/takeaway breakfast options.
Hotel is in a great location, close to shopping and transportation (subway and bus lines). It’s a little difficult to find, as it’s in an alley off of Galaxy street of Gourmet, across from Lenith Hotel, but basically behind Lotte Dept. The closest subway is Soemyeong stn, which you can get to by transferring on airport line to Sasang, then Soemyeong. The hotel is generally unmanned, so you need to get the hotel entry code from the hotel before you arrive, as well as the hotel room #, since the owner will leave the keys on the desk for you to pickup directly.
The room itself is quite spacious, especially the double rooms which have 2 queen sized bed. Lots of amenities, especially water bottles provided, and bathroom is quite large, although the shower takes quite awhile to heat up.
It’s basic but more than adequate for a comfortable stay in a great location.
This was such a cozy and quiet place. The location was really great, too… food and shopping near by, plus near buses and the subway. I extended my stay one night and would have longer if the room had been available. I would stay here again.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
I liked the interior, it looked really cozy. However, some of the facilities seemed to be loose or not working properly and/or were not nicely finished.
Alright, so this will be a mixed review.
Firstly, the bad stuff, hopefully will serve as feedback to owners or as warning to other travellers.
When I arrived, the door was locked, there was nobody at front desk. Just a piece of paper with "Call us" and Korean phone number.
As my SIM card was data only, I was unable to call the hotel and was just standing outside of the hotel. The phone numbers listed don't seem to be connected to any whatsapp or telegram, so I couldn't message them. No email and they never replied to my messages on Hotels.com platform.
I walked around, returned in 20 minutes and LUCKILY, there was lady at Front desk to let me in.
I'm not sure what I would do otherwise, walked into nearby restaurants and tried to convince them to call random Korean number?
I understand hotels without front desk exist, but either have whatsapp contact or email me information on my stay ahead of time. Simple email with entrance code and room number would be enough.
---------------------------------------------------
Otherwise it was great stay. Room seemed Freshly reconstructed, all clean and nice, with a bit of style. Just maybe limit decorations, there is not much shelf space already.
Location is great, close to subway, with shopping, food and market streets all nearby.
L'hôtel è ubicato in una zona centrale a 5 minuti a piedi dalla stazione metro Semeyon , centrale per spostarsi dappertutto a Busan.
Nonostante si trovi in una strada piena di trafficanti , la camera era ben silenziosa.
Pulizia normale, tovaglie cambiate ogni giorno e acqua fornita dal personale molto gentile.
Sicuramente un'ottimo rapporto qualità / prezzo per chi non ha molte pretese ma ha voglia di soggiornare spendendo poco in un hotel normale.
