Haeoreum Art Village

Nice area and close to the Busan station. The staff are friendly too. Note that no shower towels are provided but they provide the small hand towels. The staff were nice about providing more towels when we requested it.

The address for this hotel is for the parking garage, so my taxi driver had difficulty locating it. The hotel is very close to Nampo station Exit 1. This station is only a few stops from Busan station. Also note: checkin is done on the 2nd floor. Nothing indicates tbat at the entrance. The hallway on the 4th floor is somewhat forbidding. But the room, which faced the back of the hotel gives a good view of Busan Tower and a small temple, was fine although it was spartan. The mattress was very firm. The comforter was clean and comfortable. The refrigerato was larger than is usual in hotel rooms, so keeping food was convenient and easy. Rooms do not have microwave ovens. However, a general use microwave is available on the 2nd floor. Tbe bathroom was very clean. It was a wet bathroom. Water was very hot. Water pressure was good. Please note, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash are available. Other personal care products are not standard, but you can ask for them. Tbe location is excellent! Walking distance to Lotte Mall, many restaurants, shopping of other types, transportation (Nampo Station, Exit 1), Yodulsan Park, Busan Tower, Jalgachi Fish Market, street markets, maritime museum, and plenty of other attractions Rooms are definitely no frills. The staff is helpful. Maps of the Jung-go area are available in English and Korean. If you don't mind a no-frills place to sleep, this would be a good place to stay. I was here for 8 days.

A very comfortable stay--and perhaps some of the best food I have had in Korea and Japan. Compliments to the staff.
