Multiple reviews report poor cleanliness: stains around sinks and on linen, wet/mildewed bathroom floors and corners, hair on combs, used soap/toothpaste/shampoo debris and insect bites mentioned — clearly a significant negative.
Service
9
Service is often praised: staff described as nice and friendly, receptionist accommodated linen change and helped confirm bookings; hotel allowed free rebooking after a typhoon — generally strong service.

Location repeatedly highlighted as excellent: very close to Nampo station, BIFF, Jagalchi/fish market, Lotte Department Store and many markets; convenient for sightseeing and dining/shopping.
Room Quality
7.5
Rooms are spacious and beds comfortable, some rooms include bathtubs and good ambience, but multiple guests note dated decor, AC issues (not cooling) and some reports of bugs and other wear — mixed quality.
Amenities
8.8
Amenities are generally positive: free bottled water in fridge, bathrobes and bath area appreciated, free parking reported by one guest, and Wi‑Fi signal noted as strong.

Standard quality for this hotel tier.
Overall Experience

Overall a positive experience driven by location, friendly staff and strong value, tempered by recurrent cleanliness and some room-maintenance issues (AC, dated decor, occasional pests).

雖然！！但是！！
Pros:

我們因為颱風航班取消，旅程改期，已經過免費取消的時候，但飯店還是讓我們免費改期入住。

地理位置非、常、好，南浦站7號出口上來沒多久就是飯店；房間的空間很大；行李可以check in 前 或者check out 後寄放；
冰箱內有準備水給房客；燈光打下去有氛圍感

Cons:

我覺得飯店偏老舊，衛生程度真的有待加強。雖然有打掃，但是浴室地板上整片濕濕的，浴室拖發霉、房間邊角也有積灰發霉；梳子上有頭髮、給我們用過的肥皂、牙膏，還有洗髮精裡面不知道有甚麼東西掉到裡面。
電燈有些不好關、難按，我們一度以為有個燈關不掉；冷氣有夠冷，預設11度，我們不會調....
大家自己評估這個衛生程度決定是否下訂

I wouldn’t stay again. Cheaper than other places and the location is 10/10 but for us the cleanliness is the top pri
Pros:

The location is prime!

Cons:

Our room was not sparkling clean at all. Stains around the sink and on linen. We asked to change the linen before we could sleep. The receptionist was kind to my request.

リーズナブルで立地よし。ただし環境悪し。
Pros:

とにかく場所がよい。
国際市場、チャガルチ市場にも歩いていけます。もちろんロッテデパートにも。
食べる、買い物、には最高。

Wi-Fiの電波もかなりよかったです。

Cons:

予約時、ベット２つに布団一組のはずなのに、布団が足りないと言ったらお金がかかると言われた。
結局払ったものの、納得がいかない。

エアコンが壊れていたのかきかず暑かった。部屋に扇風機があった理由がわかりました。
部屋を変えてもらえばよかったと後悔。

友人はダニだかなんだかの虫に何箇所もさされて大変な事になりました。
虫用スプレーしたはずなのに。。。

Pros:

Zona comodissima, a solo due passi dalla fermata metro Nampo che porta a visitare tutta Busan, vicinissima ai ristoranti negozi vari, la Nampo-dong, una decina di minuti a piedi per andare al Jagalchi, l'immenso mercato del pesce.
Hotel pulitissimo, spazioso.
