Hotel Elephant

I recently had the opportunity to stay at Hotel Elephant in Busan, and overall, it was a memorable experience. Located conveniently within the city, the hotel serves as a great base for travelers looking to explore Busan’s vibrant neighborhoods, beaches, and culinary spots. From check-in to check-out, my stay was smooth, and I found the hotel to be a solid mix of comfort, cleanliness, and character. Check-in & First Impressions: Upon arrival, I was greeted by courteous front desk staff who spoke basic English and were very accommodating. The check-in process was fast and efficient, with minimal hassle. The lobby itself was tastefully decorated—nothing extravagant, but definitely welcoming. It had a quirky charm that felt a bit more boutique than your average budget hotel. Room: I stayed in a standard double room, which was surprisingly spacious. The decor was modern and minimalist, with a few unique touches that gave it personality. The bed was large and comfortable, with clean, crisp linens. I appreciated the small details like a well-lit vanity area, USB charging ports, and a mini-fridge. The room also had good soundproofing, which meant I could rest peacefully even though the hotel is near a busy area. The bathroom was spotless, equipped with a full set of toiletries, and had a surprisingly luxurious rainfall shower. Water pressure was excellent, and hot water was consistent throughout my stay. Some rooms also offer jacuzzis or bathtubs, depending on the tier you book, which I thought was a great value. Amenities & Services: While Hotel Elephant isn’t a full-service luxury property, it offers everything you’d need for a comfortable stay. There’s a vending machine area, complimentary bottled water, and in-room amenities like a kettle, coffee, and tea. Wi-Fi was fast and reliable, even during peak hours. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant or gym, but there are plenty of cafes and convenience stores nearby to make up for it. Housekeeping was thorough and respectful. My room was cleaned daily, and towels and toiletries were replenished without needing to request anything. Location: This is arguably one of the hotel’s strongest points. It’s just a short walk from a nearby subway station, which made commuting to places like Haeundae Beach, Jagalchi Market, and Gwangalli very easy. There are also tons of restaurants, bars, and local shops within walking distance. Whether you’re into street food or want to try Busan’s famous seafood, you’ll find great options nearby. If you’re into nightlife, there’s also plenty happening in the area, but thankfully, the hotel itself remains peaceful at night. Staff & Hospitality: Every staff member I interacted with was polite and eager to help. While not everyone was fluent in English, they made an effort to assist with directions, transportation tips, and even helping me book a cab using local apps. Their hospitality made the stay feel much warmer and more personal than I expected. Overall Impression: Hotel Elephant may not be a five-star hotel, but it delivers more than what you’d expect from its price point. It’s clean, cozy, and well-located—perfect for solo travelers, couples, or even friends on a budget-friendly getaway. If you’re visiting Busan and want a reliable place to stay that offers good value without compromising on comfort, this hotel is a solid pick. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit to Busan.

The hotel is super responsive through Trip.com platform. Lugguges storagement is available. The hotel will send the gate password and room number before your arrival. The location is super convenient and close to Lotte department, and two famous restaurant.

大象飯店的房間在二樓，有點類似小型民宿，如果搬很重的行李老闆娘會幫忙搬上樓，隔音還可以，房間偏小但是以假日來說訂房非常便宜，旁邊就是西面逛街區域跟樂天百貨，地點極佳。照片是飯店附近有名的吐司店。

Останавливались в отеле на 3 ночи. В целом по месторасположению и стоимости отель неплох. Из отрицательных моментов лично для нас было то, что номер в итоге достался такой, которого даже нет ни на одной фотографии, представленной на странице отеля. Номер был очень тесный для двух человек с двумя чемоданами, но самое главное для меня неудобство было связано с отсутствием нормального зеркала в самой комнате (только маленькое ручное). В остальном все хорошо: отель заселяет бесконтактно, в номере большой запас полотенец, воды, разных принадлежностей для гигиены.

地理位置很好，簡單的衛浴都有提供，有看到一位打掃的阿姨～人很好！下雨天可以借傘，很貼心會幫忙把行李拿上樓

西面駅近くで便利でした。ホテルの周りは飲食店街なので、タバコを吸っているひとがいたり、ゴミが多かったりするのが気になるなら避けたほうが良いかも。 チェックインの際にフロントに人がいない場合があり、玄関に貼ってある電話番号に連絡する必要があるようです(私の場合はちょうどいらしたので、問題なかったのですが) SMSできるようにSIMを準備したほうが安心です。 チェックインすると、玄関のカードキーと部屋のカードキー2枚を渡されます。 部屋は黒を基調としたインテリア。ちょっと閉塞感がありますが、小窓はありました。 水回りはシャワーと洗面台、トイレがついています。 ハンドソープ、ボディソープ、シャンプー、コンディショナーあり。 冷蔵庫にはペットボトルの水(無料)が入っていました。 冷蔵庫の上にはアメニティ類あり(歯ブラシ、歯磨き粉など) USB-Aが直接挿せる延長コードを置いてくれていて、充電には困りませんでした。日本のコンセントも挿せるようになっていました。 チェックアウト時はフロントに人がおらず、SMSで連絡したところ「フロントにカードキー2枚を置いておいてください」とのことだったのでそのようにしました。SMSは英語で通じました。
