Busan boasts a rocky terrain with beautiful ocean views, and due to its relatively low earthquake incidence, numerous residential buildings have been constructed throughout the city, providing numerous serviced apartment accommodation options. Haeundae, Gwangalli, Songdo, and other areas offer numerous serviced apartments with high-altitude ocean views. Seomyeon and Nampo-dong in Busan also boast numerous apartments with aerial views of the city, making them not only suitable for families and long-term stays, but also highly affordable and cost-effective accommodations.
What are the advantages? Benefits of choosing to live in a serviced apartment
Serviced apartments, also known as apartment hotels, typically have fully independent bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and kitchens. Studio suites have seamlessly connected bedrooms and dining rooms, and are also equipped with a kitchenette and washing machine.
Serviced apartments offer separate living and dining areas, perfect for families with elderly and children. The kitchenette and washing machine can address the cooking and laundry needs of long-term stays, making laundry convenient. This is especially true for families with elderly and children, as they can also prepare their own meals to accommodate the differences in local cuisine.

How to choose? Busan serviced apartment brand selection
Serviced apartments in Busan can be broadly categorized into two types: apartment hotels and residential apartments. Apartment hotels are chain brands operated by international hotel groups and typically feature 24-hour customer service counters. Some also offer free access to swimming pools, gyms, and other amenities, offering both traditional hotel-style services and the comforts of spacious, fully equipped apartments.
Apartments are residential buildings used for rental purposes, typically offering only accommodations. Depending on the building's amenities, some may offer free or paid restaurants, gyms, swimming pools, or saunas. Additionally, some apartments have a staffed service counter, while many utilize online services. Room codes and user manuals are provided prior to check-in.
If it's a chain-brand apartment hotel, as long as there's a 24-hour service counter staffed by real people, you usually don't have to worry too much about check-in procedures and services during your stay. However, if it's a residential apartment, you may face a lack of real people on duty, so you need to pay special attention when selecting accommodation.
- Understand the service counter and check-in process beforehand: Before booking, it is recommended to confirm whether there is a live-in counter or an office in the building, and understand the actual check-in process. New travelers to Busan are advised to prioritize serviced apartments with live-in counters. Also, check your mailbox the day before check-in to see if there is a check-in guide.
- Give priority to brands with a large number of rooms: Serviced apartment brands with a large number of rooms are more likely to have real people on duty. Even if you use online or self-service check-in, there is usually an office in the building where you can find someone to solve problems when necessary. If there is a problem with the room, it is also easier to change rooms.
