Urban Groove Hotel Seomyeon

Basically New, with comfortable, clean and well appointed room

It is located in a bit of an odd place that is still in transition and a little away from the action

Great rooms and general overall decor, rooftop terrace a great place to relax after a long day exploring Busan

We stayed at four hotels while in South Korea and this was the best. Very modern, all the amenities in the room, including a flat iron :) which was much appreciated by my teenage daughter. Huge double beds, very comfortable. Great laundry facilities although a bit busy up until midnight (so plan your laundry times if you intend to do it). We also had a charming experience at the restaurant across the hotel at the corner of the street, owned by an older couple - restaurant we would recommend.

Not really a dislike, but rather weirded out by the fact that at 12:01 we got a call from the reception to promptly check out. We were actually pushing our luggage out the door when the phone rang :). Maybe it’s a cultural thing, but it didn’t match the rest of the wonderful experience.

Hotel was clean and room size spacious. Plenty of towels and little items such as fresh daily water, quality shampoo, conditioner and shower gel. Excellent hair dryer and hot irons. Staff were very friendly. Easy to get to the subway. Umbrellas available in the lobby for use.

Location was down a weird side street and major construction works happening opposite which meant early morning noise and not relaxing. Felt clinical rather than hotel like. Sold as a room with city views..there was no view full stop the window had blinds closed on entering the room and when you opened the blinds it was a mirror so you saw your own reflection..hated having no view, felt claustrophobic and not what was advertised..there was no view, we were pleased to leave, it felt rather like student accommodation rather than a hotel.
