What guests think

At Griffinbay Hotel, travelers repeatedly praise the central location near Jagalchi Market and BIFF Square, while feedback on the rooms points to compact layouts with comfortable beds, simple decor, and wet-room bathrooms that can leave floors damp.

Many reviews highlight very weak shower water pressure and occasional noise or fish smells around the market area. Service is often described as friendly and helpful, and cleanliness is generally good, though a few guests reported dusty spots, worn towels, or dirty rooms at check-in. Facilities feel basic, with only two busy elevators and outsourced parking; some controls and fixtures seem dated. Overall, expect a convenient, no-frills stay in a lively area.

방의 퀄리티는 충분히 좋습니다 하지만 자체 주차장이 없어서 주변의 주차장에 대고 짐을 끌고 가야한다는 점이 좀 많이 안좋습니다 그리고 시장 가운데에 있어 유흥업소들이 많아 좀 아깝습니다

Located right by the fish market. Lobby located on 2nd Fl. 1st floor one of the store right next to main entrance sells dried seafood. (Expect foul smell if you dont like them) Lobby looks busy and unorganized with group luggage storage as lobby floor are used for luggage storage purpose. Guestroom telephone does not work and its huge life safety matter Place is for foreign guests and group. Good value for the price Left my temperpedic pillow and called same day. Though gentlemen who answered the call went above to check the lost and found as well as checking the room staff was not able to located my pillow. Only potential suspect would be housekeeper.

- The room is so cramped and small. Whole arrangement was too narrow, kept getting knocks at the bed edges and got lot of bruises. - No shower screen so you get a wet bathroom. - Room door open outwards type. Can’t latch or secure your room door. - Hotel Only have two lifts. Seen staff with soiled linen using the same lift. So is long wait for the lift every time.

The hotel is very well located—just two metro stops from Busan Station and a 5-minute walk from the nearest subway. It's right in downtown Busan, near the fish market and a shopping center. My room was on the third floor and a bit noisy, but it was clean. The bathroom was very basic, with no separate shower space—just an open area with the sink and shower together, without a door or curtain. The staff were very friendly and helpful. This hotel is a great option if you want to stay downtown. Gamcheon Culture Village is about a 40-minute walk or 10 minutes by taxi. If you’re planning to visit Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, a taxi is the fastest and easiest option.

check-in and check-out was smooth, fast and easy. location is great, I found Nampo area much better than Seomyeon. lots of shopping = malls and markets within 15min walking, plenty of cafes, restaurants and food stalls within 15min walking, train / subway / metro and bus stops are within 5min walking. there was a fridge, microwave, hairdryer, wardrobe, plenty of towels given daily and 2 bottles of water daily. the issue that I had was that shower was broken and the TV does not recognise USB device which made it difficult to enjoy my stay and they wouldn't let me change rooms even though it was a 7 night stay. the reception staff came to fix my shower at 10pm. I had to watch my shows via my mobile phone instead of using the big TV that was in my room, it dampened my experience...

We booked two rooms for our stay. Unfortunately, the check-in experience was not satisfactory. We were unable to access both rooms with the card key initially, although the staff responded quickly to address the issue. However, we encountered the same problem again that night, which was resolved after the staff changed the batteries in the door lock. The rooms were very cramped and small. The narrow arrangement made it difficult to move around, and we frequently knocked into the bed edges. Additionally, there was no shower screen, leading to a consistently wet bathroom. The water pressure from the shower head was also quite weak. We had booked rooms with triple beds but were only provided with two bath towels. Despite informing the counter staff and requesting three towels, we continued to receive only two towels each day for the duration of our six-day stay. We had to approach the counter staff daily to obtain the additional towel. On a positive note, the hotel's location is excellent, offering easy access to shopping and transportation.

It was a great experience and I would like to recommand to my friends and coworkers. Easy to access to the shopping area, food street, night market, tour attractions. The only thing I felt the taxi driver sermed not willing to drop-off or pick up at the hotel spot, maybe not easy for them to drive through or take more time to drive. So I would recommand the guests to be a bit patient when waiting for for their ride. Thanks.
