Why Choose Elbon the Stay in Haeundae?
For this trip to Busan, I chose to stay at Elbon the Stay, located right in Haeundae. Although the name sounds like a hotel (The Solid Residence – Elbon the Stay by Haeundae), it’s actually a serviced apartment. The check-in process is simple and fully self-service: the host sends the door lock code a day before arrival, so there’s no need to go through a front desk. While there’s no daily housekeeping or 24-hour reception, it makes up for it with flexibility and a cozy, local-living vibe.
The location is unbeatable—just 3 minutes from Haeundae Subway Station and only 5–6 minutes on foot to Haeundae Beach. Whether you want to enjoy water activities during the day or take a relaxing evening walk by the sea breeze, it’s all within walking distance. Surrounded by Haeundae’s bustling shopping district, with plenty of restaurants, cafés, and convenience stores, daily living is easy and stress-free.
