Top tips for finding the perfect Busan hotel deal

• To spend your holiday relaxing by the sea, choose a hotel next to Haeundae Beach, such as the budget-friendly Toyoko Inn Busan Haeundae 2, which is only a 5-minute walk away. Known for being one of the busiest beaches in Busan, Haeundae Beach is popular for swimming, sunbathing and hosting a variety of local festivals.
• If you are interested in ancient architecture, find a hotel next to Haedong Yonggungsa, a Buddhist temple that dates back to the 14th century and can now be toured by visitors. The Benikea Songjung Hotel, a straightforward choice, is only a 5-minute drive from the temple and a 4-minute walk from the seafront.
• Visitors who are eager to try some of the local cuisine should consider staying in a hotel next to the Jagalchi Market, such as the Stanford Inn, located a 5-minute walk away. The Jagalchi Market is particularly famous for its seafood and a variety of vendors sell both ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat specialties.
• Want to see the scenic side of Busan? If so, pick a hotel next to Yongdusan Park, a large, elevated park containing an observation tower looking out over the sea, as well as a lighthouse and a small train. The Elysee Hotel is only a 4-minute walk from the park and is located in the heart of the city centre.
• To stay in an area that is within easy walking distance of many shops, cafes and attractions, book a hotel located in the Gamcheon Culture Village, such as the GNB Hotel. The Gamcheon Culture Village is a neighbourhood that contains murals, brightly coloured houses and a variety of stores, including the Gamcheon Culture Village Art Shop.
