Hi all

I am off to Busan in a couple of weeks for a long weekend with a few mates from Ulsan. Everyone has said get a Love Motel as they can be cheap and fun. I have looked at a few Korean search engines and found loads of good looking places (tourist hotels are such a rip off) and will probably just turn up and book though it�s for my girlfriend�s birthday so it would be nice to hear of a few recommendations of cool love motels.

Has anyone stayed in a motel that was particularly good i.e. Jacuzzis, plasmas and so on?

Any names/recommendations would be great (don�t worry about the numbers and such I�m sure they will be easy to find)

thanks!

I don't know about jacuzzi, but I did hear from a friend who told me about the love motels behind the Sasadong bus terminal.
There's one called Venus Motel that has computers in the room and from what I heard there's a VHS collection as well.

Haeundae is a nice area, with tons of motels. I stayed at the Noblesse; 60,000 or 70,000 (don't remember) for their mid-range room. Really nice with a jacuzzi, two computers, projection TV, all kinds of amenities.

Down near Haeundae many of the motels have the amenities listed on a banner outside the hotel---or you can see pics of the rooms on the side---so if you can read hangeul you can see jacuzzi, big TV, internet, whatever.

I think you might have seen this post where I give a few online directories. Some of the motels in Busan look great. The Busan W for example:

You can browse motels around certain subway stops here:

Excellent cheers for all the Info. I did indeed read your post about motels Brian you have a great blog by the way.

It looks like we will stay near Haeundae as we are doing the shark dive on Sunday morning at the aquarium. The Noblesse and Busan W look awesome so will check them out. Was planning to walk the motels but it�s nice to have a few recommendations under the belt.

Also just found the Translated search feature at Google which helps! Is funny how so many western teachers told me love motels don�t have websites (obviously they think websites in korean don�t count it seems) a search in Korean listed about 40 in Busan alone!
