Everything is really clean! The cubes one sleeps in are spacious and well planned: room for your backpack, your day pack, a little desk and mirror. Unfortunately, the walls are a little thin, so if the neighbours are loud you can hear them and the constant noise of the AC ruined my sleep. However, the managing person always made sure after 23h that people were not making noise anymore. Cheap laundry AND dryer available to use from 9-22h. Breakfast is ok: 2 types of cereal and toast. Location is close to street food markets in the evening or cafés during the day. Close to two subways!

Everything was great. The stuff were extremely nice. They let us keep our luggage there after our checkout so we could explore the city. The rooms were clean, spacious and warm for the winter. Absolutely value for money!

You’re basically sleeping inside a closet. A bit of a surreal experience, but that’s what was advertised. The hotel is a very short walk to Haeundae beach, so the location is ideal for the insanely cheap price.

Everything was great. The staff is very friendly, helps in the chat with any questions promptly. The location is excellent, the center, near a large metro line. I spent 3 weeks in this place, it is very convenient that there is a small kitchen and a washing machine - this is what you need for a long trip. I would love to come back here again.

The staff is amazing & super welcoming. I’ve stayed here for a little over 2 weeks & would stay again when in Busan. The location is very convenient, close to Busan station & with a lot of options for buses towards other areas in the city. There are also a lot of places to eat & have coffee around. The hostel is super clean, the rooms are extra spacious which is not often that happens in a hostel. The kitchen upstairs is very well equipped, big and with a lot of natural light. There is also a smaller lounge of the 6th floor. I felt really comfortable here. At first I was a bit nervous because I’ve read some reviews about the lack of curtains at the beds or the showers being common, but honestly I worried for nothing. You have a lot of privacy in the showers, there’s also a big sink with a mirror when you can do your routine and everything. Everyone speaks good English & Veronica, the owner is passionate & knowledgeable about a lot of subjects. Really recommend staying here!

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!
