We liked everything!!! A very professional, helpful and kind staff. They speak very good English ( I don't take it for granted)and they are always willing to help you. The position it's perfect. Close to the metro and nearby tones of restaurants and very good street food (cooked by "grandma") The breakfast it's delicious! Fruit, and a delicious sandwich! Coffee or tea. I'm vegetarian and the owner didn't make me feel uncomfortable about it. She just made it without ham. I'm very thankful. They have 4 washing machines, iron, hangers... Amazing service!!!!The room it's comfortable, they made your bed every day, and change your towels. They have free water bottles at the front desk and always put you 2 bottles in your room. Small great things that make you feel at home. I will stay there 100 times.

Incredibly kind host, with thoughtful handwritten instructions/notes. The vibe of the stay was very cozy and welcoming, with a common area with a fridge, code machine, breakfast, and drinks all for the guests! Although it’s a hostel like stay, having a private and spacious room was greatly appreciated. The bathrooms were clean and spacious, with towels, hairdryers and shampoo/soap available. It’s close to Chinatown, and only an 8 minute walk to Busan Station, with an abundance of food options. Overall, highly recommend this place for solo travellers on a budget, or for people looking to stay in a more casual/friendly environment in Busan.

The facilities were very clean and the bed was very comfortable. Additionally, the host was very kind, and I even went to Korean BBQ with him and another guest. I would definitely recommend this hostel.

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.
