I can't highlight enough of the facilities here! They were too good to be true for the price paid! I loveeee every bit of it from the beautiful place, thoughtful things like providing us extension plugs in the room, wardrobe, delicious breakfast, VR, gym, Netflix and etc. I spent so much time in the hostel just to recharge and it was the perfect place to do so. Thank you Nomad Live! I would love to come back to this place the next time I'm in Busan!

This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. Super clean, super nice, super comfortable, super location, super welcoming, super price, and you even get a welcome coffee, toothbrush and a razor if you've lost yours... Super cheap laundry and drying in the hostel... Even a small breakfast. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I was sad to leave this place.

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 rooms are small but comfortable. The washing machine is located inside the room and drying racks are also available. The hotel is located right above a local market which offers lots of delicious food and local products. The coffee shop below the hotel offered cheap and good coffee. There are also 2 nearby subways, Seomyeon and Bujeon, thus travelling was very convenient. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They apologized as there was no lift and offered to help us carry our luggage upstairs.

Location was great, host was amazing!! Very kind and always trying to make us feel at home. Previous to our arrival, he replied to our questions, for we were arriving way earlier than expected, we left our luggage in the Hostal and went out to walk around busan. He suggested an option for us to visit and pointed out the direction in which we could find our bus stop.

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.
