The place was absolutely clean, everything looked new and I personally adored the golden glittery joint Filler in the bathroom. The room had two double beds, so we had a lot of space for two persons. We were additionally very happy to find a water boiler, a microwave, a fridge, a washing machine and detergent in the apartment! The owner were super friendly and cute and didn't hesitate to help whenever she saw the opportunity. The area is just perfect for exploring the inner Busan city. The place is located directly within a local market, cafés and restaurants are just around the next corner and shopping areas are just a 15 min. Walk away. Would definitely recommend and come back <3

I've traveled all over the world, and this was one of my favorite places to stay. The staff is amazing. I have never experience people so helpful, and thoughtful. The kind and thoughtful Japanese woman, and I believe, it was the woman owner, they both went above and beyond, I am very thankful to have stayed here. The breakfast was delicious, the room/bathroom was very spacious and clean with all the amenities you could need. Free laundry, and a lovely common area to eat or relax. The bed was comfortable, great water pressure, and great air conditioning. The location is perfect, close to the train station, food and shopping. Thank you for being so kind and helping me when I wasn't feeling well. I highly recommend staying here. I can't wait to return.

    It's a very classic hostel as you imagine it. Shared rooms or your own room with bunk beds, shared bathrooms and showers. The kitchen seemed very nice, and during daytime there was always someone active there so it's nice to meet people. The location is great, it's very convenient to reach pretty much all areas in Busan. Especially if you keep the price in mind, it's a great place

    Great location close to Busan station. The hostel was really clean in all areas. Delicious coffee for the barista machine in the common area. The balcony was nice and the upstairs lounge area was a cute vibe. My room had underfloor heating which I didn’t need but I can imagine in winter this would be amazing. The host was incredibly helpful and gave me a late checkout before my afternoon bullet train to Seoul.

    The gentleman who runs the hostel is very friendly and helpful. Location is great, but it is right next to a produce market so lots of foot traffic, but I felt quite safe. Great value for money given the location. I stayed in a private room and it was big and comfortable.

    Cheap stay, all there that you need (kitchen, toilet). Feels a bit like budget hotel, it actually is a budget hotel… but for that price a very good value. We didn’t try their breakfast, some options nearby (Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks). Free laundry room! Staff was friendly and helpful. Convenient location in the city

    This was the best hostel experience I’ve had so far. The staff are really friendly, it’s in a great location, the atmosphere is great, you get to meet people, the beds are pretty spacious, you get a big locker inside the bed area, another locked under the bed that fit my small suitcase, and another locker in the common area for your shoes. Overall, would recommend!

    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.
