One of the nicest hostels I’ve stayed in - the bed pods are great in the dorm and the showers are so well equipped with everything including towels, soap and shampoo etc. The gym is amazing and free!! There is also a kitchen and huge work / lounge space. It’s a short walk from Haeundae beach.

The owner was very friendly and helpful. He even upgraded me to a two-bedroom room since there was a bed available :) The location is amazing as it is right next to Busan Station. And the view is incredible! I could see the ocean from the room. There was plenty of space to relax and unwind. The bathrooms were also very clean and spacious.

The place was absolutely clean, everything looked new and I personally adored the golden glittery joint Filler in the bathroom. The room had two double beds, so we had a lot of space for two persons. We were additionally very happy to find a water boiler, a microwave, a fridge, a washing machine and detergent in the apartment! The owner were super friendly and cute and didn't hesitate to help whenever she saw the opportunity. The area is just perfect for exploring the inner Busan city. The place is located directly within a local market, cafés and restaurants are just around the next corner and shopping areas are just a 15 min. Walk away. Would definitely recommend and come back <3

Money's worth ! I was allotted a bed in Room 505 . I got the required, comfortable bed and a locker to keep my belongings. Toilets and Shower rooms were on the same floor, so it was convenient. Elevator functioned well. The area near the reception is quite spacious, for working guests and for having food and drinks. The approach to the hostel is good, very convenient. Seven Eleven store is just 100 meters away . Subway station may be around 200 to 300 meters. The staff is gr8 ! I met some volunteers from Brazil , very much devoted to their work , nice to talk to and good looking.

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.
