Lavalse Hotel

Clean, good location to get around Nampo and the main attractions we were there for.

the one that i booked earlier is a bit small for the price. they should upgrade that room. they have 360 view but unfortunately toilet is so weird. so i have to upgrade a new room which is they charge me for $120 . although is big room and spacious and cozy but they should give us more discount bcos were not happy the room of 1st one and yet we paid for $450 for 2 nights only. and yet their tv need to upgrade too. everyone using smart tv now and still they have the old version, which is u need to pay for additional charge for just to wtach netflix imagine paying for that much for the room and yet additional payment for the kit for netflix so u can watch? hotel shoul provide that free. even cheapest hotel used smart tv how come they still used the old model one who will watch just tv now adays. so in total we paid for $590 just to feel comfortable and yet just for 36hrs . im a bit upset but glad i decided to to upgrade the room. thats the view that i had in my room its good but still pls upgrade the service too.

Great location in a quiet area if you want to go around Yeongdo. Several bus stops within 5-10min walk to go anywhere around Busan (〜1h to Haeundae). The window view was not that good from my 6th floor ocean view room, but v clean and the bed super comfy. The biggest minus for me was that the shower is in the bathroom next to the toilet seat so the toilet and floor gets wet inevitably. There is a convenience store and cafe on the 1st floor, you can also order out pizza from the 3rd floor to eat in your room.  If you like posh coffee, go to Momos coffee 5min away.

We got an Ocean's view room and got a beautiful viee of the harbour from the 19th floor. Small details like power sockets being traveller friendly and a comfortable working desk for doing some work was helpful too. TV was not a smart TV but that's totally fine as we didn't get a room just to watch TV.

We booked last minute due to last minute travel plans changing. So we were only there for one night. I think we got the “spare” room as it was available before our check in time. The room was a bit shabby - a bit dusty, dirty cup, tea wasn’t replenished, room looked a bit worn. But it was last minute on a Saturday, so hopefully for your stay you get a better put together room. Staff were super friendly and we loved the night and morning view from the room!!

Location - near to Busan station (10 minutes taxi ride or 20 minutes bus ride + a little walking). It's also near to Gamcheon Culture Village (30 minutes bus ride). Lotte Department Store is walking distance of 10 minutes or a bus ride of 5 minutes. Evening time, you can see stalls laid up selling cooked seafood - many locals will eat and drink there (we didn't try as we were too full). Just next to the hotel, there's a Emart convenience shop but if you walk about 50m down the street, there is S25 convenient shop which I find the things are much cheaper. If you wish to grab a coffee, there is a "Blue Shak" cozy cafe within 50m. This area is less touristy. Service - The receptionists can speak English but I felt they could be more friendlier. We unforeseen our small sized luggage to be spoilt and requested to be thrown away at check out but was told that they do not have a disposal bin. I understand South Korea has a strict disposal system but given such a big property, they could at least help because we travellers can't just dispose things anywhere. The receptionist reluctantly helped after I insisted. The Housekeeping was excellent, clean room throughout stay. Room - Good size. I booked a triple room (Ondol - floor bedding) but was given 3 real beds instead. I did not pursue further as I checked in late (11pm+) and it was 2 nights. The bed was too soft for me. View of the room was partial ocean and port. Overall, a good stay but I will not return to this hotel. I am a hotelier but I do not expect sky high services because service line can be hard at times. The receptionists at both check in and check out didn't gave me a warm feeling - didn't felt as welcome like a traveller.
