Hostels w: Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea

Comfortable & quiet. Just a little out of the way. Check-in & check-out: Through multilingual self-service kiosk Transportation: 1-2 min walk from bus stop, but no train stations nearby. Room: As per pictures. Comfortable size for 2 pax with at most 2 carry-on luggage each. Pillows are fluffy & just the right firmness for me. Blanket thickness was just nice as well. Cleanliness: In general, it was clean. But it wasn't spotless in the nooks & crannies. Toilet: Strong water pressure for both hot & cold water. Had rain shower. Shampoo, conditioner, & body wash were citrus scented. Note: there's no bidet & small towels, which is typical in South Korea. Convenience: GS25 right at the corner & a Mega Mart within easy walking distance. Loads of Korean food restaurants nearby. Staff: Friendly and helpful but you will need a translator app as they can only converse in Korean. The older male receptionist greets me cheerfully every time he sees me, & tries his best to be hospitable despite the language barrier (i.e. Asking if I needed more towels, do I want my room cleaned, do I need more drinking water) Location: It's quite a distance from central Busan area & all the popular tourist attractions, so it's not ideal if you intend on spending most of your stay exploring these spots (due to long travel time) Note: I didn't realise the TV remote doubled as the aircon remote too, so I slept with just the fan on & window open for most of my stay. The room stayed comfortably cool & I did need the blanket throughout the night

I honestly could not be more satisfied with this hotel! When I first booked, I noticed it looked like a newly opened property, and from the reviews it seemed the owners were running it with great care. The rooms looked stylish yet affordable, so I immediately reserved two nights without hesitation, and it turned out exactly as I had hoped! Although the hostess doesn’t speak much English, she was extremely warm and welcoming, and even kindly allowed us to check in early. The room was a bit small, but very well designed and beautifully decorated. What I loved most was the window view—it was so calming and made the whole environment feel wonderfully comfortable. On our second night, we met a man who also didn’t speak much English. At first I thought he walked away because we couldn’t speak Korean, but it turned out he had gone to use his translation app to communicate with us. He was equally hospitable. I suspect he was the owner, since the hostess mentioned that her husband designed this hotel. If you’re visiting Tongyeong, staying at this hotel is definitely the right choice. I strongly recommend booking a sea-view room. Tongyeong itself is a lovely small city, much more relaxing than Busan. I also visited Geoje Island, and honestly, the two days in Tongyeong and Geoje were the highlight of my entire trip. Busan was fun too, but it didn’t quite compare. I look forward to exploring more small cities in Korea in the future!

Nous avons aimé :  - le prix raisonnable   - La situation près du centre-ville - le parking même pou ranger les vélos - la gentillesse de l'accueil  -le Wifi - C'était propre les choses à améliorer:  - les bâtiments sont d'une autre génération , un besoin de rénvotion est nécessaires Un hôtel un peu vieillot mais pour une ou deux nuits cela n'est pas un problème. 

I chose this hotel as I was travelling to see the flowers at Jinhae, and just wanting a basic place to sleep at night. There was no hotel receptionist desk, and so I had a bit difficulty when I arrived and tried to check in (the owner doesn’t speak english so communication using internet call on how to open the door with codes etc were quite challenging).  It is petit as its name, and it had enough amenities, good quality beddings, so I had rested well. The bathroom was slightly smell like sewerage (as with any places in common) and it has no sink (vanity unit) for washing hands, brushing teeth etc so I had to do it with the bath’s shower 😄 but anyway it was not a big deal. Noises from the rooms next doors were quite loud and there were someone turning on loud music during day time (I think the neighbour). But it was okay because I was absorbing all sorts of local culture and the way they live. Bus stop is about 2 minutes walk so it was convenient. Thank you for letting me to stay.

The hotel was new and clean. Enjoyed the toiletries provided and there are 2 convenience stores nearby if you need any snacks, etc. Location was accessible and easy to find as well. Will probably visit again in the future. Thanks.

This place is very close to the bus terminal, like 5mins walk which is really convenient. It's also right next to the river. The room is a little small, but okay for a short stay. The bathroom was nice, except for the hot water that took forever to turn on. The bath also had no plug so you can only take a shower. The lady at the front desk was very sweet but she speaks no English so it was a bit hard like when I tried to ask about storing our luggage there the next day. A translator app didn't help much. The room had a cold and hot water dispenser and there was a microwave on the 3rd floor you can use. The bed was quite comfortable. We didn't hear any outside noises, however we could hear the guests upstairs very clearly and they were being quite loud very late at night. This place is good for a short budget stay.

I enjoyed my stay very much at this motel, it's located right by the Hakdong Mongdol Beach, and guests can enjoy a very stunning sunrise ocean view through the window in the room! The room itself is also very spacious, has all the essential amenities, and there is also a microwave in the entrance lobby. There's also parking provided just underneath the building, which is also very convenient (parking space can be a little tight though for big cars). However, somehow the room can get a bit warm in the morning due to sunlight, as I needed to turn on the AC every morning to cool down the temperature. This motel is located on a small slope, so you have to go up and down the slope every time you go, but this is also why it offers a stunning view, and you can see quite far through the window!

We didn't realise this when we booked it but it ended up being a love motel 😂 Despite that, it was one of the nicer accommodations we have been to - it was clean, had all the amenities we needed and it super spacious with a large bathroom, a vanity, fridge and even a lounging area. There was a microwave outside on our level so we could bring food back if we needed to. The owner was also kind and helped us without us even asking when he saw us trying to use the microwave through the CCTV, even with his limited English. Will also mention that we were two girls but didn't really feel unsafe in this area or at the motel. There is also a convenience store right across the motel and it is close to Changwon station and buses that will take you to Masan intercity bus terminal.

I visited this place on a business trip and I liked it. It is clean. The hotel consists of two buildings. During my trip, I stayed at the unmanned hotel on the right, and it was excellent.

I felt good because we were kindly welcomed at the entrance. There is a supermarket right next door, and the nearby amenities were great. The children enjoyed the duplex layout. The bedding and bathroom were clean, and the floor was warm, which was nice. I would like to come back here again when traveling to Geoje.
