Songwonji Reservoir Tours

The address for this hotel is for the parking garage, so my taxi driver had difficulty locating it. The hotel is very close to Nampo station Exit 1. This station is only a few stops from Busan station. Also note: checkin is done on the 2nd floor. Nothing indicates tbat at the entrance. The hallway on the 4th floor is somewhat forbidding. But the room, which faced the back of the hotel gives a good view of Busan Tower and a small temple, was fine although it was spartan. The mattress was very firm. The comforter was clean and comfortable. The refrigerato was larger than is usual in hotel rooms, so keeping food was convenient and easy. Rooms do not have microwave ovens. However, a general use microwave is available on the 2nd floor. Tbe bathroom was very clean. It was a wet bathroom. Water was very hot. Water pressure was good. Please note, hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash are available. Other personal care products are not standard, but you can ask for them. Tbe location is excellent! Walking distance to Lotte Mall, many restaurants, shopping of other types, transportation (Nampo Station, Exit 1), Yodulsan Park, Busan Tower, Jalgachi Fish Market, street markets, maritime museum, and plenty of other attractions Rooms are definitely no frills. The staff is helpful. Maps of the Jung-go area are available in English and Korean. If you don't mind a no-frills place to sleep, this would be a good place to stay. I was here for 8 days.

The location is perfect and easy to stroll to BIFF square and Lotte mall. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room is clean and spacious. The minus thing was only they did not provide bath towel only hand towel. They might provide it but i won’t bother at all.

1. 8mins walk fm Seomyeon stn (metro line 1 & 2). Surrounded by many restaurants & convenient stores. Lotte Dept Store, Seomyeon underground shopping st. & food st. are also nearby. 2. The building shared btw few tenants and Arban Hotel occupied few levels. No dedicated lift for hotel guest, but u need hotel room card to access to yr floor. Didn't notice if there is a CCTV/cam inside/near the lift and so for solo traveller, please be careful. Reception is at 13th floor. 3. We arrived Arban Hotel at around 11am and a bit disappointed that we were not able to check in early hence we left our luggage at the reception area. 4. We checked in on Wednesday for 2 rooms & 3 nights stay, my rooms were at 6th floor, were able to sleep well on our 1st night. When come to 2nd night, we started to hear noise when we entered into our room, as the noise level were within our acceptance level hence we had ignored it. When come to 3rd night (Friday), the noise became obvious and we finally realized that there was a bowling center on the 5th floor (below our floor), and the ball rolling & striking sound last till midnight, we didn't ask for a change since we will be checking out the next day. My intention of writing this is to alert anyone who intend to stay in Arban Hotel to avoid 6th floor, if possible. 5. Room & toilet were spacious. 6. Laundry room @ 6th floor with 2 washers & 2 dryers. Washer @ ₩4000 for 36mins and dryer @ ₩4000 for 50mins. U can buy laundry detergent fm kiosk m/c.
