Great location in Busan, the hostel provides so many facilities and accomodation. The staff is very kind, friendly and welcoming; giving lots of advices for the stay in Busan. The breakfast is generous and good. The dorm is very quiet, clean and everyone gets its own privacy (lots of space for your stuffs). The gym on the 2nd floor is of very good quality.

In germany we would call the owner of the hostel „maus“ . This phrase stands for a caring, sweet and helpful person with a nice personality. The owner greeted us always with a smile, showed us what to visit and treated usw with alot of Snacks and drinks in the hostel. When i left he even gave me selfmade kimbab for my train journey, soo sweet. Thanks for the nice stay!!! The hostel is very clean and located right at busan station. You can visit every Place from the hostel in a short bus ride and there are various shops around. The owner has travelled to alot of place which you can see because of they way the hostel is designed. It got everything you need for a nice and safe stay. Toilets are clean, towels are provided and the kitchen is modern. If you read till here, i promise its totally worth to stay here!!!!

I only stayed a night but could've easily stayed for much longer. The building and location are fantastic. Everything was very clean, and the bathroom was fully equipped. The building has an elevator which is a life saver when you're carrying a heavier bag with you. The beds were very comfortable and the capsule style offered plenty of privacy and comfort.

The hostel located close to a subway station and few convenience stores within 1 minute’s walk. The Staff was so hospitable and helpful whenever you are bewildered by the city’s situation. I was also impressed by the female staff speaking English very well and the male staff speaking Chinese quite greatly. I look forward my coming back again at some future date ever since leaving the peaceful city.

It was perfect. The location is superb, a quick walk to the beach. Mr Kim was very friendly. The room was very spacious - much more so that usually in Korea. Only I was staying, but it would also have been perfect for a family of 4. There was an enormous double bed and a bunk bed. I could also see the sea from my window. And price wise, it was very competitive in comparison with other places in the area. I would definitely stay here again.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    The dorm sizes were quite large, and I liked that the floors are gender-separated. The bathrooms and showers were always clean. The common area is great for meeting people, the wifi works throughout the hostel, and it is overall in a great location!

    One of the best hostels I stayed at in Korea! It has everything a backpacker needs: clean showers and toilets, a properly equipped kitchen and an amazing host (who speaks good English). You can even use some gaming consoles The dorm is clean and spacious with lockers provided The host was very helpful with every question I had and we even had dinner together. It is right outside of the train station with access to many busses and the metro. Several restaurants and convenient shops around the building.
