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.

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.

Located in the heart of the huge Bujeon maket, right at bus stop and metro station. Highly recommended if you want to experience a local non-tourist neighborhood. The room has everything, including kitchen, a fridge and a washing machine, as well as a heater, suitable for a long-term stay. The host was so nice, she let me check in early while I was super tired from the night flight. The lady at the coffee shop downstair was very kind. You should try her coffee, it tastes great!

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.
