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.

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.

I recommend this accommodation to everyone. The room has everything you need. The entrance to the underground shopping gallery is right at the door and the subway is literally around the corner. The connection is great and everywhere is a short distance away. I recommend and thank you. :)

The hostel located close to a subway station and few convenience stores within 1 minute’s walk. The Staff was so hospitable and helpful whenever you are bewildered by the city’s situation. I was also impressed by the female staff speaking English very well and the male staff speaking Chinese quite greatly. I look forward my coming back again at some future date ever since leaving the peaceful city.

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.
