SOTA SUITE Busan Seomyeon

This is a pretty new hotel located in Seomyeon area but the nearer subway station is actually Beomnaegol. Room is spacious and comes with a balcony, living room plus kitchen. Though i understand that many hotels are going green but still just giving 2 mugs for drinks and none for brushing teeth is acceptable to me. Once you are checked in, everything is controlled via your phone. Cleaning of the room depends on the staff on the day as I observed the standard varies, perhaps a tighter SOP will ensure that daily cleaning is same standard throughout. Overall I will recommend this hotel especially for it’s room size.

Hotel is pretty new, located in between Seoymeon and Beomnaegol Station. Check in smoothly and there is no hotel card provided. Hotel room key using phone to connect door digital lock. Room spacious can easily open two big luggage. Im quite happy with the stays.

The location is excellent. A short walking distance to the main shopping area with access to lots of restaurants but yet it's on the quiet area.

Great location with a lot of restaurants nearby, and shopping area is within walking distance!

Room pictures show a stove, however it is disconnected, as cooking on the premises is not allowed (haven't tried the microwave - maybe at least you can heat your food if you need to, but honestly unsure). Access to the lift and room is done through a web page, no physical keys/cards. Which might seem like a good idea to some, however in practice is highly inconvenient and infuriating at times. This is, basically, fixing that which isn't broken. (We stayed at a very similar property in a different part of Busan which provided your typical key cards - way more convenient. Some may argue that key cards may be misplaced, while access through app or web page does not suffer from such a flaw. Still, I would say this perceived convenience is not worth it.) Room service has to be ordered via above-mentioned web page, otherwise nobody will come to clean the room. That in itself is a positive in my eyes at least. However the service itself is a tad strange - an old bar of soap was discarded but not replaced with a new one, also coffee drip bags available on check in were not replaced (however at least water was added to the fridge). Make of this what you will. There are better options in Busan for similar serviced apartments.
