This hotel right by Busan Station is incredibly convenient! Just turn left out of the hotel, and it's right across the street, marked by a few prominent sculptures that look like oxen or horses. The location is super friendly for anyone with large luggage. There's a convenience store downstairs and a Starbucks next door. Across from Busan Station in Chinatown, there's a super popular BHC fried chicken place; you can only get takeout at night, but a ton of locals buy it, and it tastes amazing. One large box is more than enough for 2-3 young women. There's also a Busan-style pork soup and rice restaurant that locals love, and there was a line out the door when we went. We ordered the soup and rice and soup noodles, and the taste was pretty good, but if you don't like pork belly, choose carefully!
The hotel has a swimming pool on the top floor, which costs extra, but hotel guests get a discount. The room isn't super big, but it can just about fit two large suitcases. There was a minor cleanliness issue; as soon as we entered the room, we found someone else's hair on the toilet. When we reported it to the front desk, they only offered a simple apology. Also, there were no Chinese-speaking staff at the front desk.
For getting around Busan, I feel like for four people, taking a taxi is the most cost-effective option, saving time and avoiding transfers, as the Korean subway can be a bit confusing.
