This hotel is located at Mipo Port, which is my favorite area of Haeundae. It's close to everything but not overly crowded. It's also next to the Haeundae Blue Line Train, which is nice but I recommend the seaside walking path the runs parallel to the tracks. The room was big with a lovely terrace that I used every day and offered an amazing view of the sea and fishing docks. I highly recommend booking a room with a terrace if you're staying during the warmer months. The hotel also has a lovely rooftop, which I saw once but didn't really need to use much since I had my own terrace. Compared to other hotels, they don't offer as many amenities, but they provide all the basics. Yes, they give guests the standard small Korean-size bath towels, but you can get a bigger one upon request. I visit Busan many times, and this is now my favorite hotel in the Haeundae area. I will definitely come back.

This is a minor thing, but after a shower, you always had to push the water towards the drain, or else it didn't really empty completely. Also, there always a small puddle of water remaining. It didn't really bother me, and I'm used to the showers with a drain on the floor, but it's nice to have it completely dry after a few hours.

This suited our sensibility... An older hotel retaining some of its original char, surviving against the super modern buildings. The setting right by the small fishing dock area was filled with fascinating scenes. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend a room with a porch. And the roof top was nice access

Just a few minor things to keep in mind... There is no onsite laundry or breakfast. The towels are fairly small. You may want to make use of a white noise app... Not super noisy but it is an active fishing dock.

We spent two nights there and were pleasantly surprised! The room is super spacious with everything you need, including a kettle and paper cups for tea (there are no tea bags though). The shower and bathroom are separate, both were clean and smelled nice. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. At check-in we were given 20% vouchers for the café on the 3rd floor of the hostel, which is super cosy and has lots of recommendable hot drinks. The hostel itself is just outside the city centre but within short walking distance of Haeundae beach and therefore restaurants, shops and a small food market street. Perfect for the summer and to get breakfast, if you want to have your breakfast in your room. As we were there off-season, we couldn't make much use of the beach or the rooftop terrace. We had a look at the rooftop terrace anyway and it looked comfortable, with a nice view of the sea. All in all we had a really nice time at the hostel and would definitely recommend it.

This is something the hostel can't do much about and is more of a tip for someone planning to come with heavier luggage (e.g. a large suitcase): The hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the nearest metro station and the walk is not very suitcase friendly. There are bus stops closer to the hotel, but the express bus from the train station (line 1003) does not take people with suitcases, so this is not an option. There are also stairs to the entrance of the hostel that you can't get around with a lift (at least not so obviously that we could see it when we arrived). So better be prepared to struggle a bit with your luggage before arrival.

Great location. Didn’t use the terrace as it I was cold and windy but Lovely view. If you have luggage, get off Haeundae Station and walk along the seafront, fairly flat. And if you use NAVER, input “HWIGELLI HOTEL” ( Korean pronunciation?!) and it will get you there. The sheet has holes, and some cupboards doors are unhinged… but everything was clean. There is a kettle with some paper cups. Did I mention that the towels are on the small side? No biggie! 5 mn walk from the Blues train and sky capsule..

- location : very convenient if you plan to stay around Haeundae and, to some extend, Gwangalli, or head to Gijang. Transportation is very convenient. It was perfect for my plans but I wouldnt recommend this hotel if you dont have a car and want to go towards Nampo/Jagalchi or Dadaepo. - staff : didnt have much to ask, so I saw the staff only for the check-in and out, but I could tell from those 5 minutes that they were very friendly and welcoming. - room : very large, clean, with amenities. Sockets right next to the bed. There was a kettle and papercups but... no tea/coffee ? Bathroom too was very large, hot water comes very quickly. The bed and pillows were on the (bery) firm side. Not a problem for me but maybe for some. - rooftop : view from the rooftop is amazing. I was even able to watch the fireworks festival from there and I really enjoyed it.

- I... couldnt find the café Aslan ? I probably misread the hotel description but I expected to find the café on the rooftop since there was this huge sign on the building. Maybe a café would be a great addition. - I would have appreciated even just coffee mix sticks so that I could at least have 'breakfast' other than this, I had a great stay there^^

The location was great, walking distance from the beach and nice Busan attractions. The staff are very helpful. The size of the room is nice with beautiful furniture . The wifi , A/C and hot water in the shower work very well.

The towels in the shower look very old and used . The coffee shop in the building has very limited options for breakfast.

Fantastic location right by the beach, large spacious rooms and friendly staff. The rooftop is really the highlight though - absolutely amazing views. Our stay was in September and we had the rooftop all to ourselves each night. Great place to have a few drinks and watch the sunset or to enjoy breakfast in the sun.

Our room stank of cigarettes. We notified the reception and they provided us with a an air freshener spray, which helped cover over some of it but didn't make it go away. It was a non-smoking room though so the blame should be placed on the previous guests and not the hotel

Great stay at Hotel Hyggelig, very close to the Haeundae beach and many restaurants, convenience stores nearby. The closest metro station is 12mn of walk and there are also a lot of buses. Our room is spacious, very clean, secured, the bed is very compfy and smelt good. The bathroom is big and clean but doesn't have a dry space since after a shower, the water will run down to the toilet as well, but overall it didn't really matter for us. The receptionnist let us check in earlier than expected so we could have a nap after our long flight. Overall it's a great value for money stay, we highly recommend this hotel !

Location was good and quiet. Spacious room and bathroom; great water pressure. Nice view. Free parking on premises. Rooftop had open sitting space and decent views. Near Mipo Station, close to places to eat and shopping. Has A/C. Responsive/helpful staff.

Bed was firm. Lack of luggage storage space to place luggage on to open. Lack of place to hang clothes and only provided 2 hangers. Light mold in bathroom. Needed to ask for large size towels.

Location. 2 minute from Haeundae beach, Sea life, restaurants, Blue line train...10-15 minutes from metro station. Room with amazing view at sea, with tv, refrigerator, kettle, big bath, terace..

It could be stressfull find the entrance, because one part of hotel and entrance is underconstruction.. Staff not responding to messages via booking, small towels, no closet just 2 hangers, but we use the chairs insted.
