A stay in Dongna. ”

We stayed just one night at the Nongshim and all had a wonderful time. I booked two double rooms as our kids are older and they were a good size and comfortably furnished. Lovely toiletries though I was surprised that there were no toothbrushes or toothpaste as this is unusual in a Korean hotel. Though we arrived early the staff checked us in and we were able to go to our rooms straight away. Included in our package were free tickets to the connecting Spa which was a lovely surprise. No problem with noise though at night you do need to tightly draw the curtains as there is a lot of neon lighting. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Lots of delicious Korean and Western options plus an omelette bar. The restaurant staff were very pleasant and the front of house manger that day should be commended for her lovely manner and warm welcome. We were able to leave our luggage at the concierge who was also happy to help us with maps and arrange taxis for us. The hotel itself is in a part of Busan we had yet to discover and we will be back for a return visit.

Busan's Best Spa Hotel”

Location-wise, Hotel Nongshim is not the best hotel in Busan. It's rather a bad choice if you only consider its geographic location. If you are entering Busan by train (KTX & local trains), you would need another hour to get to the hotel via subway. Nearly all tourist attractions (which are located in Seomyeon, Haeundae, and Gijang areas) require about an hour of subway/bus ride. The subway station (Oncheonjang Station of Line No. 1, Exit No. 5) is just few minutes walk from the hotel, but you would have to expect to walk along old and narrow streets from the subway exit. The killer aspect of this hotel is the spa, which, along with the price competitiveness, easily matches up with the geographical disadvantage. Spas near Hotel Nongshim are collectively called among the local people as 'Dongnae Hot Springs', and are praised for its quality. If you are traveling with old family members and/or curious about Korean spa culture, it is really worth visiting the spa. You would get spa tickets along with your stay at the hotel. If you are quite comfortable with navigating through old neighborhood and are willing to travel few extra minutes in the Busan subway/bus, this hotel is worth every penny.

Great location, nice rooms”

We stayed at the Nongshim Hotel for 5 nights and had a great experience. The room was large and clean. A bonus feature was that the hotel is a attached to a well known spa and is discounted for Nongshim guests. The hotel is located in a hikers haven area surrounded by great food options, large grocery store nearby and a ton of coffee shops. The hotel is about 5 minutes from the subway so it is easy to explore other parts of the city. Highly recommend this hotel to those wanting to stay in a unique part of Busan.

A well-known good hot spring spot”

The place around this area is one of the few famous hot spring spots in Korea. One of the two most famous hot spring spots in Busan. I picked this place because this place is well-known for decades. The public hot spring is directly connected from the hotel's 2nd floor. You also can enjoy the hot spring water at your own room as they stated. It has a bit distance away from the city center, but it does not take too long as subway station is located nearby. The hotel itself is quite new and clean. I would recommend this place.

Satisfied enough!”

I've been to Busan for business meeting. Accidently I got a good deal in agoda. I payed only KRW 90,000 for 1 night. The staffs on the front desk looked a little bit blunt. But they're very kind and helpful when i asked some help. The room was old but clean and neat.

Best Hotel with the absolutely best hot spring spa in Busan ”

The hotel room comes with the complementary Hot Spring Ticket for the each guest. It is one of kind experience for the best hot spring spa in Busan! Highly recommended !!!

location good, good spa”

Nongshim Hotel is nearby railway station. from railway station walk to Nongshim Hotel just 10 minutes.

Our short stay in Nongshim hotel”

We stayed for 3 nights in Nongshim hotel in a traditional korean room. The bedding was thin and uncomfortable and it was hard to get a good night's sleep. Instead of getting a normal futon the bedding we had was essentially a duvet. The room was otherwise of a good size and clean. We also used the adjoining spa to the hotel which was advertised as one of the world's largest. The cleanliness of the spa was below our expectations. The airport bus limousines also does not serve Nongshim hotel and it is a fairly long journey by Metro and light rail.

Definitely recommend ”

There are Really nice staffs and clean room. Also there is sauna which is perfect for travel. But I had to pay for using the gym. I will choose here again when I travel Busan

wonderful service, staff with good english”

wonderful experience: wonderful service, everyone have big smiling face & good english. when i ask for a place that is not in the map, they even draw me one and went out in the cold with me (-1c with little cloth) to point out the direction after the 1st street. my flight was mid night, arrive hotel 9:30am, very tired. they saw our sleepy eyes and were so helpful to provide us a room so i can sleep before going out! good view & connect to the hot spring which is very important (don't need to get cold or dress up to the hot spring. don't need to bring $ and can pay the bill together during check out). not so go experience: i turn on the 'do not disturb function' but they still called me to check something. althought it was 9:xxam already, they woke me up the air con cannot switch, i don't like heater so have to open the wondow.

relaxed by their hot spring & sauna facilities”

It war quite a unique experience in Busan area. it has huge hot spring facility that I've ever experienced in korea. different type of hot tub and sauna. It also has huge pool for children. Also, it has nice korean traditional restaurant in front of the hotel where you can experience for good quality korean food. Or you can go out eat other local food around hotel.

Good for a short weekend trip”

I went to with my wife. It was not very near metro station but no problem to me. There was various Korean restaurants around the hotel. The hot spring was very nice. The facility was slightly order than a brand new hotel but still satisfactory.

Nongshim for business”

resonable price for staying but not many entertainment nearby because of residence construction. here aren't for leisure anymore. good location to travel out of Busan by driving.

Comfortable stay!”

Very nice stay! Everything was clean and of high quality standard. Not too far from nearest subway station, but far from beaches. Spa and lots of other amenities attached to the hotel. Would stay here again.

Prime Location near to different facilities”

Just a night stay. Clean and comfortable room but a bit small. Close to a lot of restaurants and facilities but not close to the beach nor shores of Busan.

Good spring water hotel ”

the hotel is not too far away(10 minutes walking) from mtr. it is not in town but still have some night entertainment around. many good restaurant are around too. we arrived at 7:00 am and room was ready and let us stay at room. good service and huge spring water spa for half price for guests, we will stay again if we want hot spring water.

Nice quiet location spa hotel”

The staff were helpful when I used the business centre and the ms word was in Korean! I managed to finish my document and sent out. The place has such a big spa in the hotel with massage, sauna etc. Good for relaxation. The surround has many cafes and restaurants, it's self contained. However no big malls to shop, tug need to walk about 10 min to the metro and Hk to seyoseum and dongnae stations for shopping and more eateries.

Nice cosy hotel ”

had a pretty good stay at the hotel. i would say it's a nice cosy little hotel. makes one feel good and comfortable =) thumbs up!

Very good!”

Clean and nicely furnished room with kind staff. I loved the ondol room <3 Lots of good restaurants and coffee shops, as well as homeplus, in a walkable distance. Just wish they could offer toothbrushes and toothpastes for free.. Had to run to homeplus to get them :P
