Bay Hound Hotel

This mid-rise hotel is a semi-luxury gem right on the back harbors behind the Yeongdo side of the Yeongdo Bridge. On every night except Sunday, the ample parking lots turn into a "pocha" alley where you can get everything from a light beer to snail salad to a whole torched mackerel at a cart with plenty of open-air seating. From sunrise to sunset and for all the hours in between, the view is heartbreakingly beautiful. A five minute walk across the historic Yeongdo bridge leads to buses, trains, the mall, the market, and access all points along the waterfront both on mainland Busan and on Yeongdo island. Continuing down the harbor leads to a unique, up-and-coming area of new coffee shops converted from previously abandoned hangars and industrial spaces facing off with anchored container ships and other vessels. My first room assignment didn't have a tub, so I was granted a request to "move" as soon as a room with a tub became available. This resulted in my having to check out at 11 a.m. and wait until the afternoon, but I was able to work in an air-conditioned area on the first floor during this time. The rooms with the tubs are way better. The fully included parking was legit - a garage below with a staff to help.

This isn't the fault of the establishment but there was a smear of something right in the middle of the picture window on the outside. Almost killed myself trying to stick my arm out the window to clean it myself and couldn't bring myself to bother the staff about it! Before I came here, I thought that the cafe would be mind blowing, but the menu seemed limited to a breakfast that was expensive and not the most mind-blowing thing that can be found in the area. And, as someone did warn me in their review, you really DO have to choose between orange juice and coffee if you buy the 11,000 Won breakfast. These are pretty light complaints, though.

The room and the bathroom was clean, comfortable, they kept our luggage before checking in, personal were helpful. The most I liked the location, the harbor gives the place specific "open" feeling and also liked a fragrance of stalls with seafood dishes on the walk to to hotel in the evening. We got the hotel for budget price, which was quite a bonus.

The room was a bit dark. But the only thing which I did not like, was that curtains in room were previously used in a smoking room. This filled the room with specific smell (frequent travelers know what I mean). It was very slight, my mother did not smell it at all, I have extremely good nose, and after some time in the room, I stop smell it also. But for people with asthma it could be a problem. If they would change, or properly wash the curtains, it would be great hotel with even double price acceptable.

Big rooms and lots of freebies like combs and razors and more. The staff were very nice

The location. It’s in poor location and the Koreans around wasn’t pleased with me and my friends walking around the neighborhood. We got chased twice by some drunk old men. Adding to that, the reception doesn’t work 24/7, we tried to check out at 7 in the morning and for half an hour there was no one at the front desk. We almost missed out our train to busan.

They where incredibly accommodating! On the first morning we where a little late for breakfast cause we misunderstood the time and they still gave us some food (and even apologized) also we could leave our luggage there on our last day to explore and stay at the cafe they have to wait for our train, which was leaving late in the evening :) Also even though the location is across the river there are busses going literally everywhere and you are at Busan station or in the city center within 10 minutes :)

Nothing~

The hotel is conveniently located at the north end of Yeongdo, so it's quite easy to get to places such as Taejongdae and Gamcheon Art Village and Huinyeoul Art Village by bus or Lotte Department Store on foot. It was near bus stops as well, so it was a quick 10-minute ride to Busan Station. The room itself was large with a decent view of the harbor although the window could've been cleaned better. The bed was nice and comfy, and I liked that they gave me two keys because most hotels don't do that. The breakfast is really nice with a Western and Asian option, but you have to order it in advance. I tend to stay on the east side of the city when I visit Busan, so this was a nice change. I'd definitely stay here again.

There was a misunderstanding about cleaning my room, but it was cleared up quickly. Generally, when guests ask for their room not to be clean, they prefer to keep it untouched. Also, it would be great if this hotel followed the trend of most others by having Netflix available on their TVs.

To begin with, the staff were very kind and considerate. They saw our needs and create a suitable environment for us to feel comfortable. The location was excellent: Infront of the marina and the bridge,15 min wallk to the train station, Caffe and Convenience store within 2 min. The hotel parking lot is for free use.

The hotel is outdated.

An above average hotel room with its typical accessories, the room was quite big and the bed is really comfy.

It was a bit difficult to communicate with the staff, they only speak English a little.

Position is really great, Staff was extremely helpful, gentle and professional. The bath was good, a bit small for 2 people but perfect for one. The night view was the best, was beautiful and I liked it a lot. The overall position was good, near bus stops and 2 minutes away from subway station, in front of the dock, and in the night there are small fish restaurants just in front.

clean room, comfy bed, great location

breakfast was stated 7am-10am however it was “closed” at 9:20am

The location is great if you want to explore this part of the city and a bus stop is very near.

The room as represented int the photo looked bigger, so I was surprised to find out that it was much smaller.
