Hello,


I've been trying to find a good hotel in Busan (Haeundae Beach) from the 19th of July through the 24th. I've been looking online like crazy and stumbled upon this.

http://www.yanolja.com/main/source/motisMain.php?miIdx=498&pageCode=2&siteCode=MAIN&rIdx=&abIdx=&miUseMenu1=&miUseMenu2=&miUseMenu3=&miUseMenu4=&miUseMenu5=&miUseMenu6=&miUseMenu7=&miUseMenu8=&miUseMenu9=&miUseMenu10=&urlCheck=&searchSi=&searchGugun=&searchOpti

The price went up quite a bit for that certain period we've been looking at. Once I had someone call, the place raised the price from what was listed on the website. My wife and I are looking for a nice little hotel near the beach - only requirement is that they have internet. Could someone please help me find something with a price at or better than 50,000 per night? That would be really great. I don't really know how to look on the Korean websites and no one at my work is willing to help.

Thank you (in advance) to anyone who wants to lend a hand!

Go for a love motel. Google those and Busan and see what you come up with. They should'nt be more than W50,000/night and are usually quite nice

Agree with my fellow tarheel on this one (not the team, but the state..go PACK)

I used to hang out in Haeundae quite a bit a few years ago,and I can tell you that many of the motels around there, just a block off of the beach are pretty dang nice..considering the fee, quality or room, and location. Many of these motels look less than desirable on the outside, but when you get to the room itself they are VERY nice.

But finding one in Haeundae around 50,000 during the peak of summer and summer vacation for almost every college student in Korea might be a bit difficult. That place is crowded like crazy this time ofyear, and of course room rates are most expensive now than usual.

50,000 seems pretty cheap for Haeundae, even in the winter.

http://motelice.com/ -- Ice Motel

1 block from waterfront

Regular room is 40,000 per night - 50,000 for Fridays, and 60,000 for Saturdays/Weekends holidays.
Includes 32 inch wall mounted TV, open shower room, internet and DVD.

Next highest level room is 50,000 per night, 60,000 on Fridays, 70,000 on Saturdays/Holidays and include options above plus larger tv (42 inch) air purifier, surround sound speaker system, and whirlpool tub.

I understand the people try to raise the rates that are different than what is posted on the website. If you have a Korean friend who can call..I would suggest that they do so,and if quoted a rate higher than what is on the website, let the Korean explain that they chose the hotel because of the info on the website.

One other note is that this one included the bank account for the hotel, so that you if you reserve online in advance and pre-pay, you are likely to be able to pay the rates listed on the website. Although it would not be surprising if you did this, then upon arrival at check-in, they see you are a foreigner and try to tell you that the website is wrong and you need to pay more, but would certainly be a much bigger issue than quoting you higher rates over the phone before any money has changed hands.
