Where to stay in Nampo
Nampo hotels & accommodations

Really loved this hotel, this is the best hotel if love shopping & street food. Nearby to a lot of tourists attractions. Lost my card on the 1st day of check in & it was quickly settle by the front desk staff. Thumbs up for the great service! And they also helped to book a cab for us to the airport, as we read from some forum that it will cost almost 40,000won, but the...

We enjoyed our stay in Busan's Stanford Hotel. The hotel is located in between Nampo train station and Jalgachi train station. It is nearer to Nampo gantry in our opinion. We reached the hotel via airport bus from Gimhae airport (which was located directly opposite the hotel - Airport Limousine Bus and stop at Nampo-dong for 6,000won) and left Busan via train (exit 6 N...

I really liked staying here. I got a very nice harbor view, friendly staff, close to everything... fish market, park, shopping streets, Lotte shopping mall and just 8 min walk from Nampo metro station. For those who has heavy suitcases, you should get off at Exit 8 of Nampo metro station then go through the Lotte Shopping Mall to take an elavator to go up to the street...

The hotel is very centrally located at BIFF Plaza, with the shopping streets just at your doorstep and the port (and Jagalchi market) just a 15 minute walk south. Food is definitely not a problem in the area, and some of the stores open pretty late including some food push carts that serve typical Korean street food. The area is also very safe at night because of its p...

Nampo is a best place to stay to me, alot more street shops, restaurants and more variety compared to Samyeon. it's easy to walk around, from hotel to Nampo street, to Jagalchi market - morning seafood market, to Gukje market - street food and daily use household items, Plenty of shoe brands at Nampo. Elysee hotel room is big, must book deluxe room comes with Jacuzzi ...

The stay in TowerHill Hotel was great. We will definitely recommend others to stay in this hotel if they were to visit Busan. Firstly, it is inexpensive and the location of the hotel is fabulous. Additionally, the staff were all very friendly and helpful. When we wanted to order delivery, they recommended us which delivery was best. Also, when we asked them to help us ...

The hotel is situated at Nampo - very easy to grab mid-night snack & shopping! It is conveniently located opposite to the shuttle bus stop too. We cannot thank more of the lady at the reception (who spoke good English & cheery!), she recommended two excellent local eateries at Nampo. The hotel & service made our Busan stay a blissful & memorable one :)

I didn't know it at first, but this is a common hotel in Japan for businessmen. So, if you want a big luxurious room, this is not the place, but if you want a cozy and very clean place for the best price I've found, this is perfect! It had everything you need like soap, conditioner, shampoo, and a hairdryer, but all you need is your own sponge or washcloth and lotion...

It was a great stay at this guest house. Located along main road which takes u only 5-10mins walk to Nampo MTR Station, Lotte Duty Free, Gwangbo Shopping Street, Eating Market. 10th floor receptionist cum lobby allowed you to see the full seaview and GamCheon Culture Village too. They prepared breakfast material and we fried egg and made sandwich ourselfs. We took loca...

Me and my family went to Busan for our family trip and we stayed in Bayhound hotel. My experience at Bayhound hotel was great so I want to share this to all! From the hotel, they had free shuttle service to Nampo-dong even though it is located super close to Nampo-dong. approx 5 mins. So my parents loved it as they are quite old to take public transports or walk f...

We took a cab from busan station which cost around 5,300won. It is located opposite a police post and by the road so it is really safe to go out at night. A 24hr minimart was located three minutes away and it's a 5-10mins walk away from Nampo metro station which is the train. At Nampo, tons of shopping and food can be found to enjoy. I had a free upgrade of room and ...

Location is strategic for those from Seoul who travelled via Nopo Station where the city bus terminal located. This hotel is near in busan station exit 2 same red line w/Nopo. 8 min cross walk from station. Just go straight and cross, until you reach the “chicken & beer restaurant” continue straight the street, until you see “korean Air office” turn left and left again...

The hotel is just a few minutes from the exit 5 of Nampo subway station which facilitates easy access to places of interests and the airport. The Nampo shopping belt is also few steps away from the hotel. The room size is big enough for three of us though cigarette smell was felt when we stepped into the room which was supposed to be a non smoking room. We sprayed the ...

I had chosen to stay at GnB as it was a new hotel with a great location and good reviews. Things to consider when staying at this hotel would be the lack of English or any other language information about the room. Eg the Aircon was a bit of a guessing game. Also as other reviews say the Green running man signal is A4 size and lights up the room. An eye mask is a must ...

The service provided was excellent throughout the stay. On our checkout day, before we left the hotel for breakfast, we asked the service staff for the best way to go to Yeosu from Busan. Despite the difficulty in communication, she tried her best to tell us whatever she knows. After we came back from breakfast, the service staff gave us a handwritten memo with all the...

I was staying in Busan for 3 days. It was the best hotel stay during my 2 weeks in korea. NOTE: the staff do speak simple English and it’s good enough! Firstly I was served by Manager Min who remembered my name because I had to change my date for then hotel stay multiple times. I left my luggage at the hotel because the check in time is later. When arrived, the ...

It's definitely value for my money. It was as if I was staying in a 5-stars hotel. Which 2.5 stars hotel that can provide you with complimentary Starbucks coffee, Oreos cookies, soda drinks and juices? This hostel did. The room came in with a bath tub and a shower. And of course what stood out most was the high tech Japanese toilet. The location is strategic, close...

Great. The staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to help. We were on the 15th floor and had an amazing view of the harbor and city. The hotel was super clean and well maintained. A/C worked but only marginally so room was a little warm at night. Could not have asked for a better location. Close to train station (walking distance), museums, harbor, parks, Busan T...

We booked for 3 pax but was asked to add more payment for the 3rd person because according to staff price was only for 2. I expect agoda to put this during our final payment, however, we we're not asked during booking and was only informed in the hotel. We just paid for it since the staff is good and seems not aware of agoda policies. I hope agoda will arrange this wit...

Other than its perfect location in Nampo (best place to shop in Busan in my opinion) - not right smack in the middle of the shopping area (less rowdy) yet just 1-2 min walk from the subway station - the place is always very clean and tidy (all thanks to the staff who clean the place everyday!). The staff provide great service, are very friendly and always answer our qu...

Location is quite good, we can take Airport Limo from airport, but we can stop in front of this hotel, however the bus stop at main street, and it just take 3-5 minutes walk to this hotel. This hotel also near to subway (Nampo Station), also near to Lotte Department Store, where we can shop many things, for cheaper goods we can shop at Busan Underground Shopping Mall w...

This is one of the best hostel i've been in Korea. They provide free breakfast and free use of washing machine and dryer machine. They do sell detergent for 1000won, which i still feel cheap as the machine used is free. The common room is on lower floor while female floor is on second floor, so it is quite and nice stay. I book the 4-bed with private bathroom, but onl...

We booked a total of 6 rooms and everyone of us was fascinated by its size, room layout, comfortable bed, heater on the bed, cleanliness, location and helpful smiley staff. Walking distance to Lotte department store , underground shopping and Nampo subway station. Yongdusan park is just next to the hotel. 10 mins walk to Jalghachi fish market, BIFF Square and bus s...

It’s located near the Busan Tower and traditional markets like Kukje and Jagalchi, if that’s your sort of thing. It’s also next to a row of trendy restaurants, which was a welcome surprise. It’s a bit far from the nearest subway station, which can be somewhat inconvenient when it’s hot or you are carrying luggage. One thing we found a bit odd was that we noticed duri...

Perfect location: close to Nampo subway, easy walk to Jagalchi fish market areas, on main cross roads for many buses, on just 1 block from shopping walks and food walks at Gwangbok areas, and right on the edge of Yongdusan park. Facility: modern, clean, adequate space, our room with double jacuzzi tub. Parkings on site. Equipped with neccessary amenities ...toner, ...

We stayed at Hotel Marcher for a night last Feb. 26. We booked for a Standard Double and a Premier Suite which are both fantastic. The guy at the front desk is very approachable and hospitable. He speaks and understand a decent amount of English. He also assisted us in opening our baggage (my mom unfortunately lost the lock's key) He always smiles and answers all o...

First experience for the booking was great, they were able to reply to our request fast, stayed there for 3 nights, the room size is just nice and it was clean, they provide breakfast, have bread, milk, cereal, orange drink, cup noodle, coffee, and it’s definitely value for money for the price you paid. Near to Nampo Station, and many attractions nearby, Busan Tower ...

It was a really pleasant stay. Located within a building so the lift is shared but not an issue. The location is really convenient and just a stone's throw away from nearby attractions such as busan tower, biff, jagalchi market, n many more. Just 3-5 mins walk from the nearest subway which is Nampo station.

I had 4 nights in Apply Guesthouse and this is the best experience i ever had. the guest house was super clean and new that is over my expectation and it is so near to the shopping area - nampo-dong night market. subway station is just right in front of the building. It is nice to travel when subway is near the place you stayed so you get to travel many places and drag...
Cheap places to stay in Nampo

They let me stay in a two bed room dorm even though I booked a four beds dormitory. And I was there by myself. What a nice surprise! There's unfortunately no window though (maybe in the other rooms, I don't know). The bed got cleaned every day. There's enough bathrooms available and they're clean. There's a small and free breakfast (toast, eggs, jam, orange juice). The...

Very closed to Jungang Station exit 3,walk to Nampo just 5~10minutes,check-in after 16:00 in first floor is a coffee shop, breakfast from 9:30~11:30, special is now doing,problem is everyday same,the traveler have move out everyday between 12:00~16:00 can't stay in your room because of clean. The best thing I like is they offer a new sponge every day for guest to show...

Checking in at Mr. Egg is definitely the shortest and the most hassle-free we've had so far. They were kind enough to email us the directions on how to get to the hotel right after our booking and thanks to the clear instructions we did not have any trouble in locating the hostel. Upon arrival at the hotel (even if we arrived late in the evening), we were immediately e...

The location of mint house is awesome, 5 step walk from Jungang station exit 3. Yes... just 5 step u will arrive it. Also, it just take 10mins walking to Nampo. Very convenience location. The guesthouse is clean and tidy. The beds are comfortable. There has something happened during my stay, however, the manager is very friendly and willing to refund the price to me. I...

I was unable to check in on the day that I had made my booking due to some reasons, but the staff were very understanding and allowed me to check in a few days later. For this, I'm very grateful and would definitely stay again next time I'm in Busan. Rooms were good, warm and comfortable in winter. I mingled with some guests and made friends, so that was nice too. Th...

Very unusual & remarkable place in Busan. It is the best Hostel I've ever stayed at. I even extended my stay because I was feeling so great in there. Its a very modern and comfortable place with great Decor and facilities. Located on the 7th floor (just above the fish market). It definitely has better view then any other building in the city. Very good buffet break...

Annyeong Ahjusshi & Unnie.. This is Fifie from Malaysia 🇲🇾 My 1st busan trip was run smoothly thank to Hyu Plus Guesthouse ❤️ Ahjussi Yang Bong Joo saranghae💕💕 Unnie too! The view was awesome!

My stay at Sum Guesthouse Nampo was great! Although my group stayed only for 1 night, it was a pleasant stay. The location of the Guesthouse is very easy to locate, especially after you have booked your stay, they will send you a short video of how to get from the subway exit to the guesthouse which was very handy. The vicinity had lots of shopping. The main reason for...

The hotel was located at a very strategic location. Located at Nampo-dong and within 2 minutes walk from Nampo station exit 1. From the hotel we can easily walk to Gwangbok-dong fashion street, Jagalchi fish market, BIFF Square, Busan tower and lotte Mall. The hotel provide simple breakfast like bread, fruits, coffee & tea. There are also strong wifi connection in the ...

Dropped me a text in less than half a day before my check-in informing me that they have to cancel my reservation due to repairs in the guesthouse. That’s all they did. Really disappointing as i have to urgently book another accommodation. Zero stars given.

Easy access by Busan Metro, exit No. 1 (not exit No 7 mentioned by other comments, it is totally misleading info by that person). Alternatively you may exit from the Nampo Underground Shopping Centre, exit No. 13 and just few step away from the hotel located at 13th Floor. This hotel located at the excellent location, BIFF Square Shopping Walking Street and plenty rest...

We spent 2 nights at Busan. After we alighted from Nampo station, we were searching the location of this hotel quite long time. The entrance is hidden behind a building. Easy miss out if we just focus on main building beside the street. For anyone who book this hotel again, the entrance of this hotel is behind TomTom Coffee. Room is small but good enough for 2 person...

My partner do a good bit of travel (domestically in Korea and internationally), and we were very pleased with Hotel Gray Nampo. The hotel was nicely decorated, and the staff was friendly. Most importantly, the hotel was SPOTLESS. There was not a speck of dust or dirt to be found anywhere. The hotel is extremely clean. The cleaning staff does an excellent job. If you d...

I would say the actual motel looks better than the photos! The motel is very clean and comfortable! Just below of the hotel, it is a whole stretch of restaurants and even like street foods around evening time! The motel is a little hard to find at first because it is squeezed together with shops and restaurants. Excellent location, around a decent 5mins walk from the s...

Hot shower, heated floor, in the middle of a happening street, fairly cheap for a good sized room with a private bathroom. My only small issues were the door to the room was not easy to close and you had to make a loud noise to get it to do so, also the shower amenities were not clearly labelled enough.

First experience for the booking was great, they were able to reply to our request fast, stayed there for 3 nights, the room size is just nice and it was clean, they provide breakfast, have bread, milk, cereal, orange drink, cup noodle, coffee, and it’s definitely value for money for the price you paid.

We stayed in the VIP Twin room for five nights, the room was clean and new with nice shower room and a big tub. I love the cozy sofa area in our room and the coffee machine in the ground floor. With over ten choices of coffee and hot chocolate, you can start your day with freshly ground coffee. Staff are friendly that they helped us to order fried chicken and pizza du...

From the moment I arrived the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The room was very nice. The hotel was only a block away from public transportation and steps away from plenty of restaurants. The only thing missing was an iron, but that's minor. Overall, I had a great stay at Grance Hotel.
