    The bathroom floor would flood every time someone had a shower. It made it a bit awkward for someone to use the bathroom after without getting wet feet.

    We booked a double room and got a massive 5 bed room to ourselves. Everything was clean. The staff were helpful. The views from the room were amazing. It's very close to the beach and metro line.

    A little bit too noisy due to poor sound isolation between rooms.

    Location is very close to Haeundae beach. Convenience store is across the street. Subway station 10 min walk away from the hostel. The atmosphere inside is friendly.

    I think if you’re going to use the kitchen, you’ll be a bit grossed out. It looks like it hasn’t been used in years and therefore looked a bit run down and dirty. Don’t use it if you can avoid it.

    The room was plenty big for two people and it was clean. If you stay on the side that faces the road, it will be noisy. So make sure you have ear plugs if you need quiet to sleep. Location is excellent, by the beach and lots of places to eat. There really isn’t anyone tending to the place or people around , so it doesn’t really have a hostel vibe, but I guess given the location, why would you just hang out at the hostel when there’s lots around to do and see.

    It’s totally personal preference, but I’d like the beds a little less firm.

    This was our second time staying here and we were not disappointed. Great location at Haeundae.

    It was a bit noisy from the street traffic below. Only had one key for the room which is a challenge if your party wants to split up.

    Spacious room with view of city and ocean. Also had an area on the 12th floor rooftop to enjoy 360 degree view. The lounge area was large with lots of windows. The location is just a couple blocks from a beautiful beach. Excellent restaurant for breakfast right across the street

    I really don’t know what to say about this hostel other than it’s way overpriced for what it offers. For the same price you can get a 10 time better hostel experience and higher quality service and comfort in Japan. Capsule beds and dormitories are somewhat ran down. The mattress itself is noisy and squeeky due to the plastic cover below the sheets although reasonably comfortable. No Wifi in the dorm/rooms. I asked to temporarily store my laptop at the reception while I went to get lunch nearby - refused. I asked if I could change the assigned bed in an almost empty dormitory - refused. I would only book this again as a last option.

    The common lounge area is spacious and makes a good co-working space. The staff is kind but somewhat inflexible.

    This is a guesthouse. Not a hostel. If you actually want to be social and meet other travellers, this is not the place for you.

    A great location and great value room for the money.

    Beds were pretty uncomfy. Booked a single/double room but got a dorm (for myself) instead. Not a big problem though. Pics showed ocean view. Didn't have ocean view. Again, not a problem, i am not expecting o'clock an view in a hostel.

    Good location. Big common area. Pretty clean. Very friendly staff.

    I didn't like how small the towels were but I think it's a Korean thing because we had the same thing in other hotels.

    As far as hostels go this was a good one. Great value for money and a perfect location.

    Awesome location in the middle of Busan. Can walk to pretty much any of the key locations or get a train to the others. Really close to the beach as well. Unfortunately not many people when I was there as it was low tourist season, but great looking facilities and I'm sure when it's full it will be a really great vibe :D

    Took awhile for the room to heat up. But the blankets kept you warm.

    The location was great. Super close to the beach and the main strip for drinking. The hostel was super quiet. They have a very large social area. The shower was hot!

    Lighting was harsh and switches were annoyingly placed. Being asked to put pillow cases and towels by front desk when leaving seemed a bit odd, but wasn't a problem.

    The room was a bit bigger and more modern than it looked in the photos. 5 minutes from Haeundae beach and not much further from the metro station. Nice common room with views across the city to the sea.

    The only thing I was disappointed is that there is no coin laundrette available.

    Location is near to Haeundae beach and is walking distance to Blueline Park. There is a cosy cafe with great western breakfast meal and the staff speaks good English (only later to know that she is a Singaporean working there)! Opposite the Hostel is a Hanwoo beef restaurant.

    sewage smell in the bathroom no paper cup and water dispenser or at least electric kettle per floor you need to go to the common are which opens at 8am and closes at 10pm. which is an inconvenience because most guest come back late in the evening and wakes up early. at least for us.

    the location is good close to the beach. the room have nice view
