Samwonjang Motel

Busan

Stay for 2 nights during count down for New year 2017. The hotel is easy to located. By taking Jacagchi line, take exit 10 with elevator and walk straight. After you see a junction turn right and take your left go into a bakery street. You may reach in 1minutes.

The room is big as it is old building. I can  open my 28inchi luggage x 2 in the room with no issue. We arrived at 150pm and the owner directly give us check in which we feel so glad as we were tired of traveling. The room is very clean and matress with heater which make you very comfortable during winter. They provided shampoo, body wash, toothbrush and toothpaste.

There are 24 hours security and it is really near to Jacalgchi area and BIFF. It is walking distance and we are able to come back drop our thing and continue shopping. I was very enjoy as walking distance distance to everywhere in Nampo area. The underground shopping street is just outside the hotel.

Last day we were sit airport bus to to airport cost 6000 won. It is also outside the motel with 1minutes walk. The motel have time table to show you the airport bus which helps a lot. I get more than my expectation on this motel with the price provided. Budget, big and clean!

Great value to stay here!

I had a pre-paid booking from Expedia for Samwonjang Motel but as I arrived, it seems that no one knew about it. They offered two rooms to me: one with european bed and one with korean ondol floor sleeping. As the korean style room did not look very nice, I choosed the one with the european bed. The Motel is close to the fish market and the metro station. If you are just searching for a place to sleep, the motel is a good choice.

Average, close to fish market, no english spoken

We stayed in this hotel for 5 days. When we arrived we were a little scared, because the hotel is located in a small narrow street, the kind or Paris you don 't go through. But it was finally a more traditional and very lively restaurant street especially at night. We met the manager who speaks very good English and who is really someone great. She always gets to help you prepare your days. Really nice! You wonder when she... the room itself is classic but functional. Doubt bathroom in a toilet, cable TV in a fridge dry hair in the room. And a very nice little price: nice toothbrush toothpaste for brushing your hair and frosting from the hotel, so I can only recommend you to look outside the hotel for a few minutes. So this is the best place to go if you can find a bathroom or a bathroom in the front of the bus station.

Simple but practical

I had booked a room through hostel world and received an email 4 days before I was due in busan saying that the room is no longer available. I just find this unacceptable, I like to be organised and know where I am going. Also the international film festival is on now so many of the cheaper decent hotels are booked out. I have had to rebook and compromise on both price and location. Not reliable at all!

Didn't even make it to the hotel

My wife and I spent three nights here while visiting Busan. When we arrived we found we would be in one room for the first night and would then move to another room for the next two nights. The first room was on the first floor which made for great access. Unfortunately, when we showed up at 1400 they still weren't ready for us to check in yet; and the only place to leave our bags was sitting unsecured in the hallway. Of course, even putting the bags in our room was a moot point as the keys to all of the rooms are kept hanging on a rack just inside the front door and you are not allowed to take the key with you when you left your room. When we returned we found our room literally had a screen between it and the hallway in one corner, covered only with a thin curtain; talk about hearing everything and no privacy! The bathroom vent was also another screen into the hallway and/or a vent fan that vented into the room (the fan didn't work though so that was a moot point). There were spots of mildew scattered throughout the bathroom and ceiling was so low I had to take care not to stand up straight to avoid rubbing my head on the ceiling. We also found pubic hair in the bed, hopefully the blankets were washed between customers! The next day, we returned to the hotel at 2300 to find no one around to show us our new room. We had to figure out which room we were being moved into by knowing it was on the third floor and assuming the key left on the rack for a third floor number was to our room! That room was a big improvement from the first floor room but also had some mold/mildew in the bathroom. On the positive side; this place is relatively cheap, the owner is very friendly, the beds were comfortable, and it is very close to key bus stops and two subway stations. The rooms also provide wi-fi, a TV, and a refrigerator. That being said, a friend was staying in a hostel (with dorm rooms) across town that cost him far less than our room and was completely modern. Overall, we were rather disappointed.

Just Okay

The room was clean but we had no windows, it looked like it was last refurbished in the 1970s and it was quite small.  I still recommend it though because it was priced accordingly and I believe the most important quality is cleanliness.  The staff were friendly and the location is PERFECT!  I think I remember a water cooler to fill up bottles and there were two computers with internet.  The only actual problem was the smell - the motel and the surrounding area smelt horrible.  It's next to the fish market but it wasn't a fish smell.  I live in Korea and it's common for a lot of areas to smell strongly of sewage - so I know it's not the actual motel that smells, just the area.  Maybe the smell has gone since I visited.  Overall, it's cheap, clean and an excellent location so I would still recommend it.

Not perfect - but good value

Hotel located on a subway street, close to nearby shops, the cinema district, the Busan tower and the fish market. However, count on a little over 40 minutes of subway to get to the beach. Small but functional room with air conditioning, television, Ethernet cable, refrigerator. Locks a little fine so can be noisy but well isolated from the noise of the street. Water fountain available, internet stations and discreet but friendly owner.

Basic but economical

Very well located near Jagalchi market and all the restaurants and shops. Very nice room with refrigerator, air conditioning and TV. The manager's sympathy. The free laundry performed by his mother. The smell of the bathroom...but good enough to just close the door.
