The room was very spacious and I especially like how warm and friendly the staff were. They were not just staff running an accommodation, but they were also friends. You don't get that easily from most hotels/hostels. I'm glad I stayed here for the New Year as I had fun with them and also other guests, which made my stay all the more memorable.

I was staying close to Jagalchi market before I came to this hostel so took a while for me to like the change of vibe, which I eventually did when I discovered the Busan night scene just nearby. It was a bit difficult to find the hostel as it's hidden among all the bigger hotels and buildings so trying to figure the place on a cold winter night can be a bit frustrating. The toilet bowls could also be cleaned properly as they were quite gross. And perhaps it would be good to either install an additional heater in the room or just get a better one because the dorm room wasn't heated properly.

- staff - this GREAT young lady was always there, answering all of my questions no matter how strange they were - location - minutes away from metro and bus stops - shared bathroom - quite well-kept - bed - big and comfy Warning: the room is quite narrow, seems strange at first. But actually the space is enough to keep one's belongings and to rest after a long day of sightseeing.

- smell of dampness in the room - facilities - a little worn

i had such a good time here! met two other solo travelers and spend my entire stay with them. the hostel is a nice walking distance from the city and is close to the metro station and bus stop. the beds are incredibly comfy, i would say too comfy. i wasn’t able to get out of bed in the morning tbh

its not that i didn’t like it, but, i felt like there were a lot of people who were living in the hostel like working traveling situation. and it felt a bit difficult to socialize with them, so be ready to make the first move yourself :)

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We stayed in a quadruple private room and it was so spacious. Very quiet at night.

Rei, the manager, is a really nice, friendly and helpful person. She wasn't actually around much and there's usually no staff/person-in-charge available in the morning (before noon). The hostel has 'volunteers' who do the cleaning in exchange for accommodation so the standard of cleaning varies and does create a 'clique' vibe. It's a big hostel with many backpackers from across the globe. It's also cheap so remember you get what you pay for. The dorm room was actually OK and not a bad size but the air-con kept making a weird water-gushing sound all night and it was right next to the bathroom so I could hear people going in/out in the night and early hours. Towels are provided but there was not enough for the number of people staying in the hostel. Bring your own padlock for the lockers.

Small kitchen and lounge space considering the size of the hostel. Only two hobs. The fridge and freezer were abysmal. Really needs another fridge/freezer, especially because there are several long-term stayers. My food (labelled with name, room # and date!) did get pinched from the fridge, this is not unexpected in a shared kitchen but still extremely irritating. Laundry was expensive 10,000won for wash & dry.

Location - near subway station Bathroom - wonderful bathroom for this price range. Large, clean and dry Common area - there's a nice common area, kitchen and dining area to interact with people. There's a TV and I saw people watching football together Staff - friendly with good English Facilities - there's an elevator

Bed - a bit thin and hard although I have no problem sleeping. The lower bunk bed is very low to the ground Storage - only a small locker is available, you need to bring your own lock Location - one subway station away from the city centre Staff - sometimes nowhere to be found

Very social hostel where I met great people. It has nice staff and a great social area where you will certainly meet nice people 24/7. Free water and a very well-equipped kitchen. Soap, shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom. Cozy blanket. Close to an underground station and Seomyeon, which is perfect for shopping and party.

Overall cleanliness could be better. Rooms are big and but didn't have a good smell. Beds have no numbers. This is not the perfect area for anything other than shopping and party, but underground and bus stations are very close. The surroundings aren't quite appealing.

Everything is clean, very comfortable, there is shampoo and shower gel and hair dryers in the bathrooms, everything is good. It is located five minutes from the subway station, so it's very comfortable. There's also a really cool beach called Songjeong not far from Haeundae (you can take beach train or sky capsule from Haeungdae to Songjeong beach, the views are great) and there's Haedong Yonggunsa Temple nearby which is very beautiful.

There is one cupboard for one bed, but no locks. It would be great if they provided locks for guests, so that you could be sure that your belongings are safe. There's also a storage room, where you can leave your things for a few hours before check in or after check out, but it's on the first floor, where anybody can walk in and it also has no lock. So, would be great to provide more safety for the baggage of the guests. (but I guess you can just bring your own lock and it would be fine)

- Excellent location, super close to beomnaegol station on line 1 - walking distance to many convenience stores and at least one department store and supermarket. Really easy to get to most places in Busan - Staff were really friendly and helpful and the hostel just had a generally good vibe - There was plenty of space in the room to open a medium suitcase (which is my bugbear for some hostels/hotels)

- The walls were thin and so there was a bit of noise pollution going on: hearing next door's alarms in the morning, people walking up and down the corridor and wheeling suitcases, etc. - The room could have been cleaner as the floor felt a little sticky when we arrived

Money's worth ! I was allotted a bed in Room 505 . I got the required, comfortable bed and a locker to keep my belongings. Toilets and Shower rooms were on the same floor, so it was convenient. Elevator functioned well. The area near the reception is quite spacious, for working guests and for having food and drinks. The approach to the hostel is good, very convenient. Seven Eleven store is just 100 meters away . Subway station may be around 200 to 300 meters. The staff is gr8 ! I met some volunteers from Brazil , very much devoted to their work , nice to talk to and good looking.

Sorry, I have nothing ! I got what I expected, may be , more than that !
