Good ol'days

I only write unsolicited reviews for local businesses. Good ol’days hotel is what true hospitality looks like. All other hotel managers should spend a night here to see how it’s done. Big thanks to the wonderful reception staff (who were all incredibly professional, warm and helpful) and the housekeeping staff (the hotel is spotless). The management/owners have a great vision and we enjoyed living in the Good ol’days world for 2 nights. Everything in the room is so thought-out and flows beautifully. All rooms are totally private and quiet. Breakfast left at the door is something we really appreciate - allows you to have a slow and private morning. As others have said, a highlight of our time in Busan. Unless you like large chain resorts (we don’t), there’s no reason to look any further - book here without any hesitation. And again, refreshingly, no one at the hotel asked me to write this; they don’t need to, the place and experience with their great staff speaks for itself. PS We 💌 postcards, journaling, letter-writing📝, and ☕️.

I’m from Singapore. I would give the room 9/10, minus 1 for lack of safe box. All facilities in the room are working well. There are a number of surprises. A standing phone pod (for special photo?), music player, and generous selections in the mini fridge. Laundry gets a 10/10. Very thoughtful. Breakfast gets 9/10, minus 1 for too little fruits. Maybe add a banana. The cafe at lobby is excellent. The drinks, the design, and the creative little things. The most exceptional part to me is service. At the point of writing this, this was my third hotel in six days. It’s very hard to receive good service in Korea. And here, finally, I received good service. Smiling people and speak politely. This is something I am personally curious about Korea. Please maintain your high standards because I have told all my friends about your hotel.

My sister and I had an incredible stay at the Good Ol' Days Hotel! The attention to detail and personal touches throughout the property made us feel like we were in a warm hug from the moment we checked in. The staff were friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were cozy and comfortable. I loved the nostalgic charm that permeated every aspect of the hotel, from the decor to the amenities. It's truly one of the best hotels I've ever had the pleasure of staying at. Can't wait to come back!"

One of the best stays ever, you will not be disappointed with the boutique feel of good old days, we actually made the trip to Busan just to stay here. Free Americanos were a nice touch and with the complimentary stationary to write memories and even send postcards to yourself. The rooms are incredibly well designed and felt luxurious large with warm wood accents.

I can't describe how much we fell in love with this hotel/cafe. The owner has put so much effort on making everyone feels like home!|The details on the decoration, room set up, floor plan, windows, curtains, record player, free mini bars and snacks/instant noodle and breakfast basket and coffee, omg, everything is just more than perfect.|They run cafe on level 1 & 2 and from level 3 to 5 are hotel rooms (only 3 rooms on each level), level 6 is a terrace which you can see Busan tower and enjoy movies from time to time.|There is also a stamps station on level 1 which you can write post cards and stamp them while enjoying a cup of coffee!|Me and my husband both had a wonderful time staying here and already want to book our next stay in the near future :)

We've been coming in this cafe for many times but this night (aug3), around 8:30pm to 9pm was our first time to encounter a very rude employee(barista). When they receive orders it feels like they are they don't like taking order and the barista who took our order shown an unpleasant facial expression. After we received our order, while we are drinking they began to clean and wash some dishes. But they create TOO LOUD and UNCOMFORTABLE NOISE, as if they want us to hurry our drinks and we felt like we are not welcome. We've been observing for 10 to 15 minutes, but they still continue to wash dishes and throw those pitcher and making loud noises when washing spoons. When we asked them and confront about the situation because we felt uncomfortable with the noise they make, instead of saying sorry for the loud noise they create. One employee respond to us arrogantly and said "it's a usual thing" to create loud and uncomfortable noise when washing dishes. So we were so shocked on how she respond, and when we ask for the manager instead of solving the situation in a proper manner, she called a police and reported us. Even though we've been coming here for many times, this is the first time we experienced such rudeness from an employee who claimed she is the manager. We even show them the video that proves the unpleasant noise they created, so we were expecting a proper respond from an employee who works in a service industry. Yet, how she respond to us were sooooooooooooo rude and arrogant.

The coffee shop employee were rude towards customers. When they received the order they are not welcoming. And since we received the order they keep on making loud and uncomfortable noise when washing dishes as if they want us to go immediately and we are not welcome(because we are foreigners?). And when we confront them about their action, instead of apologizing for making the loud noise that makes customer uncomfortable they arrogantly said "this is usual". Beware of this poor behavior, i hope they dont do that to us because we are foreigners.

We had an amazing stay at this very special hotel. We were blown away by the room, the view and all the "little touches". We appreciated all the advice and information. Brilliant coffee downstairs. The breakfast was wonderful. We wished we could stay longer!
