The facilities were incredible - so many cosy places to relax, plenty of workspaces so nowhere ever felt crowded. There was such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, the breakfast was simple but lovely and the free tea and coffee 24/7 was brilliant. Honestly it was so unique from any hostel we've stayed in yet.

Definitely one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. They have basically everything there, including earplugs, change-over plugs, facial masks…… The common room is big and well decorated. Location is also very nice. Near to the subway station and there are a lot of restaurants downstairs. Will recommend to others who are going to Busan.

I spent just 1 night in Inside Busan, but I have a very positive impression of this place. The owner was welcoming and treated me really well, she gave me advices on what places to visit. The room was quite spacious for 1 person, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was also good. The hostel is situated conveniently near the railway station, so it's a good place to stay for people who travel to the city by train.

Everything really clean and new. It was the best hostel of my stay in South Korea. I love the 4 bed dormitory as we had 2 spacious toilets with 3 showers&toilets in each one. Cleaners were really kind. Bed really comfortable. Amazing stay!

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.
