Busan: Where to stay (Best Louis Hamilton Hotel)

Gonna be overly dramatic and say that I was devastated to learn that my favorite hotel in Busan is already closed!

I had plans to take my brother around the city and it took me a while to decide what hotel to stay at. As usual, I wanted to stay in the same area since I’m already familiar with the place.

Agoda link : Best Louis Hamilton Hotel, Busan, South Korea

The hotel is near my preferred hotel which is not bad!

Bus stops and bus stations are the same as before –

Dongbaekseom Island Entrance Station

Arriving in Busan :

A. Coming from Gimhae International Airport, you can either take a cab or the bus to the hotel. You can pay using your credit card just in case you don’t have cash with you.

Via cab – there are a lot of cabs waiting outside of the airport or you can also use KakaoTaxi or Uber for your ride

Via bus – you can pay using a credit card or buy a physical ticket from the booth

you’ll be lining up at this no 3 bus stop
the time table posted here was more accurate than the one on Google Maps
this is how the ticketing booth looks like! you can find it after gate 4
you’ll be buying and paying through this kiosk but I’d recommend just paying in credit card on the bus so that you don’t have to walk far

They’ll drop you off at Dongbaekseom Island Entrance Station so it’s the same stop, as usual, adjusting around the area will not be too much!

B. Coming from Busan Station, you can either take a cab or the bus to the hotel.

Via cab – If you have big luggage then you need to take a cab! There are a lot of cabs waiting outside of the station or you can also use KakaoTaxi or Uber for your ride

Via bus – If you have small luggage you can take the bus (BUS 1003)!! You can use your Tmoney to pay! Don’t forget to get down at Dongbaekseom Island Entrance Station!

There are two doors to the hotel, the main door and the back door! Our cab dropped us off at the main door, it looks like this!

Coming from Ibis budget Ambassador Busan Haeundae, this is how you’ll be able to arrive at Best Louis Hamilton Hotel!

coming from where ibis was
you’ll be able to spot a street where GS25 is facing!
all you have to do is follow that street
and just walk straight!
you’ll see the hotel signs on the left
arrived!

I believe this is the back door!
the door is open 24/7!

I decided to get a room with an Ocean (partial view) so that we could see the beach from our room.

that’s a massage chair!! 😭
the room was so big the only downside for us was that it’s dark like there weren’t much lights 🥲

the ocean partial view, you can see the old ibis building on the right

all photos were taken using an iPhone 13 Pro Max

It’s not the most ideal view but this is the best one I’ve found so far. I’d still book a room if I’m going back to Busan!
