haruae hotel

Apologies for the poor quality photos! This place is conveniently located within a 10-minute walk from Jagalchi Station. The room was surprisingly spacious, and there aren't many rooms on each floor. What impressed me most was the quick response to my work emails. Usually, even if companies have an email, responses can be slow or sometimes non-existent. Considering the location and room quality, I think the price is fair. Just a minor suggestion, though: I'd recommend removing the non-functional computer entirely. At some motels or hotels, you see a computer tower but it's missing components, making it unusable and just sitting there. This really detracts from the aesthetics. It would be better to either remove it completely or set it up so it's fully functional.

A wonderful hotel right in the city center, only 400 meters from the metro. The street nearby is a bit noisy, but no sound gets into the room. It's very cozy. You can tell it's a family-run establishment. Every little detail for comfort has been thought of. I will highly recommend this hotel to all my friends and acquaintances.

The hotel is right in the middle of Gopchang Alley, and the entrance was incredibly hard to find. When I arrived, I honestly thought, 'Oh no, this looks dodgy.' But just as other reviewers mentioned, the owner, an older woman, was so kind, which was a huge relief. The room felt a bit chilly because the ondol (underfloor heating) was off, but when I mentioned it to the front desk, they immediately helped. They even suggested using the electric mat under the futon. When I asked for extra water, they gave me plenty, and I even shared some of my huge takeout oden with them... She was incredibly kind, like a favorite aunt! (laughs) Because of its location right in Gopchang Alley, there was noise until late at night, so I kept the TV on. It was great that I could watch YouTube and Netflix in the room – I even watched the BTS comeback there! Step outside and you're surrounded by places to eat and drink, and Gukje Market and Bupyeong Kkangtong Market are right nearby, making it super convenient for shopping. There's also a bus stop very close by, so I could go anywhere easily. The only thing was that the entrance looked a bit like a love hotel... and well, the room did too, if you think about it. (laughs) But for the price, the room was more than spacious enough. All the amenities were provided too. I'd definitely recommend this place for its convenience over a luxurious hotel stay! I could even see Busan Tower from my room, and the illuminations were beautiful.

Overall, I'm satisfied. Although the lack of parking was inconvenient, the location and service were good for the price. I'd like to use this hotel again.

There's a smoking area on the floor, and it's surrounded by food options. Plus, the transportation is really convenient, which was great.

The facilities are a bit old, but they are kept very clean. All the staff are very kind.
