Clean hostel with a friendly host and staff. I enjoyed relaxing at the hostel and exploring the neighborhood. Breakfast is good, and the common area is nice and stays open late without disturbing other guests. I’d love to stay here again when I return to Busan.

The location is incredibly convenient, being very close to the subway. You can reach it by taking the No. 5 escalator from the underground mall. Even if you stay out until 11 PM, you don't have to worry about getting back in time. Although the room is cozy, it has all the necessary amenities: a bathroom, washing machine, refrigerator, microwave, induction cooker, and air conditioning. It is truly perfect for solo travelers!

The location is great for going to the Haeundae Beach and restaurants. They have a great view from the common room, which we enjoyed while having our breakfast. I was also happy that they had a filtered water machine so I could refill my water bottle. The room was plenty big and I really like that they had a divider for the shower in the bathroom, so everything didn't get wet when you showered (like other hostels with similar style bathrooms).

The location is near Gwangalli Beach. We walked to the beach and ate some snacks while enjoying the view. It was so peaceful and the view was unbelievably stunning. There were also lots of convenience stores near the place. In the room we booked, we could see a scenic view of the bridge and the beach. It was so beautiful. There is a common area where guests can hangout, eat some snacks, and drink water, which is nice. What I appreciate the most is how friendly and accommodating the owner is (or the guy who answers when you call their number). They helped us get to the airport. Definitely a good value for money.

All hostels in Busan

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little 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.
