Ramada Encore by Wyndham Busan Station
Checkin staff is courteous and room is always clean. Starbucks and CU convenience store just next to the hotel. Pocha just round the corner. Busan station is 2-3 minutes away from the hotel. Very good location. Hope there will be a big shopping mall near Busan station in the near future.
