Reviews of Elysee Motel

14 May 2012 Magdalena would recommend this property

Liked: When you walk up to a building that looks like a castle you know you're in for a treat! The rooms are a decor riot of 1960's kitch glamour, complete with glow in the dark ceiling and multi color changing light and the bathrooms are inlaid with yellow sparkles. It's excellent! The rooms are VERY clean and are equipped better than most high end hotels. BIG screen tv's, internet, friged, distelled water dipsenser, you never have to leave. LOVED it here!

Disliked: that we didn't stay longer!

08 January 2012 Simone would recommend this property

Liked: Location is just perfect, near the central shopping area. The owner speaks good English and he was keen on giving explaining what there is around and recommending places for eating. The room was clean and warm (a good thing in full winter...). Overall quality/price is quite acceptable.

Disliked: The room was not at all big as you would tell from the pics. The bathroom is cold (this is a common feature of Korean motels though).

02 December 2011 LEO would recommend this property

Liked: I like the nice location. just few blocks away from subway station. I also like the friendly english speaking hotel owner who will give you a map and advice on where to go. The room was clean and organize with refrigerator, LCD TV and computer with free internet access.

Disliked: I suggest that they provide a package with free breakfast.

25 May 2011

Liked: The owner / caretaker is a pretty friendly and helpful chap.

Disliked: The room is uncomfortable in terms of furnishing and deco. The setting of the entire hotel just doesn't fit the mood of a traveller. A very very cheap sleezy feel to the motel.

Liked: It was a great location and the owner is as friendly as can be. He is full of knowledge about Busan, and if he is unsure, he will find out from someone right on the spot. Its a great central location for exploring Busan.

03 October 2010 Arun would recommend this property

Liked: Practically everything : facilities, location, value for money (for the deluxe room)

Disliked: Just some minor details like there being only 1 bath towel. We had our own so we didn't bother asking for a second one.

06 September 2010 Leah would recommend this property

Liked: Very close to main train station, just up the street from a subway stop, very clean, great amenities (the black light ocean scene on the ceiling was a great feature, as was the personal shower/sauna), and the owner was very helpful. I actually felt bad that I hadn't had the time to look at all the helpful attachments he'd sent because I'd been traveling without internet access! He was upset because we'd gotten a little lost due to the taxi dropping us off at the hotel.Overall, great place -- I think some would use it as a "love hotel," but it was 100% clean, the rooms and bed were great, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anybody. Amazing bargain, too!

Disliked: The weather was hot and humid, and the air conditioner could've been a little more effective...however, the full-strength fan helped mitigate that!

22 August 2010 Roser would recommend this property

Liked: Good place, perfect location, good price.

Disliked: On Saturday night, it was a little noisy...

12 August 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: This place was really great. The owner is really nice and helpful. The room was great for the value, I couldn't have asked for better. The location is really good in my opinion. Yongdusan park is literally 1 min away. And there is a great shopping area within 5 min. The subway is really close, so travel to other areas is easy. I will def stay here again on future visits to Busan.

Disliked: nothing to say here.

20 July 2010 Michael would recommend this property

Liked: First, this is not a hostel, it's a full-on hotel, with completely private rooms, 24-hour front desk, and everything else. No similarity to a hostel at all -- except for the price, and super-friendly staff.The value is exceptional. The hotel is very new (circa 2005) and rooms are equipped with a new large flat-screen TV, DVD player, computer w/wired Internet, fridge, water dispenser, and air conditioner, fan, and marble floors. (At least my room had these.) I was surprised to get so much given the price. The location is great, too, only about a 5-minute walk to the metro, directly adjacent to Busan Tower (a popular tourist attraction), and about six minutes' walk from a huge market. Oh, and about 10 minutes' walk from the International Ferry Terminal. The manager was exceptionally helpful, and took us outside with a map to point out what items of interest lay in each direction and how far away they were -- without our asking. He also speaks very good English (rare in Busan, in my experience) and some Japanese.

Disliked: Only a few negatives. This hotel used to be a "Love Hotel", and it shows. (If you're not familiar, Google it.) The exterior and the ground floor have pink lighting, and the hallways and rooms are a bit claustrophobic. There's no natural lighting in the hallways and almost none in the room. The window in the room is small and it's opaque, not transparent. You can open only a very small part of the window to actually see outside and get any meaningful natural light. There were also small advert cards propped up against the entrance of the hotel advertising local prostitutes with half-naked pictures, which amused my friends' 11-year-olds when we entered. Finally, credit card payments incur a 10% surcharge. This isn't unreasonable, but it's not in the hotel's listing on HosteBookers. (You find out only after you book, when you get the welcome email from the manager.)

Liked: The location was great - 5 mins from the subway and close to shops. The owner/manager was very helpful and helped us with everything we needed. The bathroom is fab - great steam room and jacuzzi bath. Free movie channel too - you choose whatever you want to watch plus all the normal channels!

05 June 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The location is very good for night life/shopping/eating cheap food, but it's a bit hard to find the location for the first time. Overall, very good value for the money and the owner is very nice, he will show you how to get to all the places and how to operate the in-room remote controls. Highly recommended for those who have a tight budget yet still want a clean and nice place to stay.
