Zen Backpackers
Relatively well-located in the Seomyeon area, but by far the best part about this place is June, the dude who runs it. Not only is he totally chilled out, but he gives fantastic travel advice along with free fortune telling. He also cleans the place every morning, which is an anomaly for hostel-owners. Spotless, spacious, and just plain awesome.
Vesta Sauna
15-min walk from Haeundae beach, sauna entry alone costs 5,000 won, but travelers can stay for 8,000 won a night. This is a jjimjilbang and sleeping is on a large communal floor with only a limited supply of mats and pillows. It is locally famed and can get crowded on weekends. The entrance fee includes access to good saunas and baths, a variety of hot rooms and a small PC room. Facilities are mostly mediocre, but the view over Haeundae beach from the sleeping floor and baths is stunning.

Top end
Lotte Hotel
* seomyeon. (http://www.lottehotelbusa...) in the heart of busan. the basement level and first floor are attached to one of the largest shopping centers in busan. all of the staff speak very good english, and the rooms are quite large with great views of the city surrounding it. the hotel also offers a casino on the second floor, an irish-style pub, and an expensive restaurant. the shopping center has a grocery store and a variety of restaurants at reasonable prices, and a movie theater on the top level. the shopping center itself is like any typical western-style mall, with name-brand and high-end consumer items and clothing for sale.
Haeundae Grand Hotel
(http://www.grandhotel.co....) unlike the three hotels named above which are located on the boardwalk or on the beach itself, this one is located off the boardwalk, however still very close to the beach less than five minutes walk. good amenities but each swimming pool, gym, etc. charges separately, therefore add 15000-20000 won for each of them that you want to use.
Most of Busan's luxury hotels are along Haeundae Beach. The hotels listed below all offer ocean view and city view rooms, but be prepared to pay extra for the ocean view rooms. Weekend rates are always more expensive than weekday rates, and rates go sky high during the summer peak season varies by hotel, but roughly July to August. Rates can also go up during special events e.g. Pusan International Film Festival.
A few luxury hotels are more centrally located.
Gwangjang Tourist Hotel
Centrally located no-frills two-star hotel. Rooms have bathrooms, air-con and TV.
