We loved every moment of our 3-night stay at Good Ol’ Days Hotel, and only we wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel celebrates travel from a bygone era with postcards, stamps, writing materials and magazines that showcase vignettes of Busan in each room and in the lobby. Every detail feels intentional and deeply nostalgic. The guest rooms are spacious and well sound proofed. Luxurious, high quality finishes, inc. an LP player, bathtub, Dyson hairdryer and writing desk (to name a few). We appreciated the complimentary offerings of mini bar, breakfast delivered to our door each morning, and barista-made coffee in the cafe downstairs. Staff were warm and welcoming, always accommodating and kept our room feeling fresh each day. The Jungang-dong neighbourhood is full of character and the hotel is within walking distance to many markets and attractions and public metro (Line 1 to Busan Stn) and buses.

- The room was great. Love for so many details, amazing smell already when you entered... You could feel that it was furnished with a lot of dedication and sense for detail and not just stuffed with some random items - Things like breakfast basket, drip coffee maker in the room, record player, salt for bathtub, coffee coupons in the cafe - Comfortable beds - Very helpful staff - Good location

We found the housekeeping times from 10:00-12:00 a bit unfortunate. Breakfast arrives at 08:30, so enjoying all the amenities of the room and maybe sleeping a bit longer puts you soon under time constraints here. Of course it is not a huge hotel with a lot of capacity, but already shifting the time to 11:00 - 13:00 or 12:00 - 14:00 would greatly ease the situation.

The morning breakfasts left outside the door were fantastic and they were served in a picnic style basket which was a lovely touch. I stayed in a top floor corner room and had good views down the street from the huge floor to ceiling windows. The large bed and duvet were very comfortable and the bath was a nice addition to the shower. There is a very nice coffee shop downstairs within the building and the staff were helpful and friendly. The location of the hotel is very good, Haeundae, Dadaepo and Gwangalli beaches are all easily accessible using the local metro station. Lots of places to visit locally and not too far from the main Busan train station either. I'm really happy I stayed at Good Ol' Days in Busan, I would definitely choose to stay here again. Thanks.

The hotel was so detailed. They provide you with postcards that you can send to yourself, along with notepads and a hand written note to welcome your stay. They give you breakfast in a picnic basket with delicious food every morning. All the snacks provided in the room and refrigerator is free and they refill it everyday. They give you free coffee in the morning at their coffee shop in the lobby. You can upgrade to their speciality coffee and just pay the difference. The hotel location is walkable to shopping areas/markets. The staff were so nice and attentive. The rooms were beautifully decorated. The beds were cozy and comfortable.

Every morning, there's a breakfast basket outside your door. It's simple, but delicious and enough to get you through the morning. There's water, coffee beans and some snacks in the room that are restocked during housekeeping. The room was big and clean. Bath robes and enough towels were provided, and the bathtub was stocked with MALIN+GOETZ products. The general manager runs an Instagram account (@checkinbusan) with great local tips, and very kindly helped us get a reservation at a restaurant nearby. There's a lot of good spots within walking distance, and access to public transportation is also very easy!

- The temperature in the room can be a little hard to control.

This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in and THE BEST hotel of the 8 I stayed in on my trip. I almost don’t want to express how amazing my experience was as it likely means the hotel will be too popular for when I want to return. However, the design of the hotel rooms, the bathroom and attention to detail is exceptional. The cleanliness of the hotel is outstanding. And the experiences such as the breakfast delivery, the personalised gifts, the food and drink available in the mini bar etc is priceless. I appreciated the request to take off your shoes when entering, and how comfortable the room immediately made me feel as well as how accommodating and friendly the staff were. If I could stay at this hotel over and over again, I would. Also the drinks from the cafe are great.

That I couldn’t take it with me everywhere I go!

The hotel was really trendy and the room was super comfortable. It felt like the staff had thought about every aspect of the hotel experience and provided a bunch of super cool free amenities. The location was near many of Busan’s top attractions.

The breakfast provided was a little bit disappointing, considering all the amazing items the hotel served at the cafe downstairs. Also the hotel provided us with free coffee coupons but the cafe only opened at 10:30am, which may be too late for tourists raring to see the city.

This hotel was amazing - something really different. The rooms have beautiful decor with records and record players. Its very thoughtfully designed and all the little extras really make it special! The staff are very helpful with recommendations and the rooms have snacks AND breakfast provided daily! the downstairs coffee shop is cool and does great coffee. The location is perfect and there is free parking in a robot car park across the road!

This hotel was so charming. All the little touches like the memory books, maps and history of the area. A great thing was the built in universal adaptors as Korea has sunken outlets that don’t always suit our Australian global adaptors. Loved this feature! The bed and pillows were also super comfy and the location was so convenient. The staff were very helpful with suggesting restaurants and things to do. Breakfast was also delicious. It was a wonderful room to relax in as well as we had a couple of rainy days that weren’t optimal for outside adventuring

Nothing at all! Perfect

Everyone working at the hotel is exceptionally nice, polite, and helpful! Having genuinely friendly staff (not the stiff, perfunctory politeness I often encounter at Sofitel and similar hotels) put me and my husband in a great mood during our stay. Due to poor navigation on my part, I was hopeless lost while finding the hotel and its parking. There are many one-way streets and it can be a bit challenging. I called front desk and the nice young lady offered to come and meet us and did. She rode with us to the hotel parking. By the way, it should be noted that the parking is across the street in a private parking facility. Once I new its location, it was easy getting the car in and out everyday. The hotel has a fantastic cafe right by the front desk. Everything there is delicious. The baristas are friendly and the coffee menu is exceptional. The hotel has a nice, clean, slightly retro vibe. We enjoyed walking through the cafe/lobby to access the elevator. The room was well designed, clean, and comfortable. We liked the extensive use of wood in the room. The shower pressure was good. The bathroom was spotless, and a big plus was the Dyson hair dryer! The hardness of the mattress was just right. The hotel delivers a simple but delicious breakfast every morning around 8:30a. I don't enjoy an American breakfast typically, so the continental breakfast consisting of scones, yogurt, etc. was more than sufficient. The room has a manual coffee grinder and equipment for pour-over coffee and also has excellent loose leaves tea. The location was great as it was close to the main roads. If the travelers are into shopping, there is a nice mall nearby. The street with various shops is only about 5 to 6 minute walk from the hotel. There are multitude of restaurants nearby as well. My husband and I plan on returning to Busan next year and plan on staying here again.
