"그냥 일반 모텔입니다. 성수기라 그런지 가격에 비해 숙소가 별로입니다. 상세내용과 실제 숙박의 컨디션이 다릅니다.(더블침대2개로 표기되었으나 침대1개) 늦게 체크인을 해서 그런지 그냥 남는방을 준거 같습니다. 컨디션에 대한 컴플레인으로 다음날 1박 취소를 요청했지만 거절 당했습니다. 좀 아쉬운 숙박이였습니다."

Toyoko Inn Busan Station No.1

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at the Toyoko Inn Busan Station No. 1. They were willing to go above and beyond to check us in late, and the room worked well for us. We found the staff to be very friendly, and the buffet breakfast was awesome for value, especially since it is free! I will say that it is not a normal American buffet breakfast, but the food was really delicious, and the environment was perfect for getting ready to go out and experience Busan. We would most certainly stay here again!"
