The Bay Hotel is a great location for Nampodong, restaurants, bars, and shopping. Very walkable to Jagalchi and Lotte. Additionally, it is about a 3 mile uphill walk to Gamcheon, or you can take the bus. I walked up which is great in Winter. Would highly recommend taking the bus up during the hot and humid season.
Most of the staff do not speak English as they would at a large hotel, however this is very manageable by using Papago app.
The rooms cater to the love motel clients. Though small, everything is clean and they use space efficiently. Great for a 2 - 3 day stay and only 2 metro stops from Busan Station (KTX).
Additional bonuses: free water, coffee, tea and espresso machine in the lobby. Free Netflix in the room. Although this area can be noisy on the weekends, they have double doors, double windows and blackout curtains.
If you are older or have mobility issues, you probably would require more space.
If you are younger and headed to Busan for a long weekend and want to party and crash somewhere close to Nampa area, I highly recommend.
