We spent two nights there and were pleasantly surprised! The room is super spacious with everything you need, including a kettle and paper cups for tea (there are no tea bags though). The shower and bathroom are separate, both were clean and smelled nice. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable. At check-in we were given 20% vouchers for the café on the 3rd floor of the hostel, which is super cosy and has lots of recommendable hot drinks. The hostel itself is just outside the city centre but within short walking distance of Haeundae beach and therefore restaurants, shops and a small food market street. Perfect for the summer and to get breakfast, if you want to have your breakfast in your room. As we were there off-season, we couldn't make much use of the beach or the rooftop terrace. We had a look at the rooftop terrace anyway and it looked comfortable, with a nice view of the sea. All in all we had a really nice time at the hostel and would definitely recommend it.

This is something the hostel can't do much about and is more of a tip for someone planning to come with heavier luggage (e.g. a large suitcase): The hotel is about 15 minutes walk from the nearest metro station and the walk is not very suitcase friendly. There are bus stops closer to the hotel, but the express bus from the train station (line 1003) does not take people with suitcases, so this is not an option. There are also stairs to the entrance of the hostel that you can't get around with a lift (at least not so obviously that we could see it when we arrived). So better be prepared to struggle a bit with your luggage before arrival.

This suited our sensibility... An older hotel retaining some of its original char, surviving against the super modern buildings. The setting right by the small fishing dock area was filled with fascinating scenes. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend a room with a porch. And the roof top was nice access

Just a few minor things to keep in mind... There is no onsite laundry or breakfast. The towels are fairly small. You may want to make use of a white noise app... Not super noisy but it is an active fishing dock.

The location was great, walking distance from the beach and nice Busan attractions. The staff are very helpful. The size of the room is nice with beautiful furniture . The wifi , A/C and hot water in the shower work very well.

The towels in the shower look very old and used . The coffee shop in the building has very limited options for breakfast.

Great location. Didn’t use the terrace as it I was cold and windy but Lovely view. If you have luggage, get off Haeundae Station and walk along the seafront, fairly flat. And if you use NAVER, input “HWIGELLI HOTEL” ( Korean pronunciation?!) and it will get you there. The sheet has holes, and some cupboards doors are unhinged… but everything was clean. There is a kettle with some paper cups. Did I mention that the towels are on the small side? No biggie! 5 mn walk from the Blues train and sky capsule..

- location : very convenient if you plan to stay around Haeundae and, to some extend, Gwangalli, or head to Gijang. Transportation is very convenient. It was perfect for my plans but I wouldnt recommend this hotel if you dont have a car and want to go towards Nampo/Jagalchi or Dadaepo. - staff : didnt have much to ask, so I saw the staff only for the check-in and out, but I could tell from those 5 minutes that they were very friendly and welcoming. - room : very large, clean, with amenities. Sockets right next to the bed. There was a kettle and papercups but... no tea/coffee ? Bathroom too was very large, hot water comes very quickly. The bed and pillows were on the (bery) firm side. Not a problem for me but maybe for some. - rooftop : view from the rooftop is amazing. I was even able to watch the fireworks festival from there and I really enjoyed it.

- I... couldnt find the café Aslan ? I probably misread the hotel description but I expected to find the café on the rooftop since there was this huge sign on the building. Maybe a café would be a great addition. - I would have appreciated even just coffee mix sticks so that I could at least have 'breakfast' other than this, I had a great stay there^^

Fantastic location right by the beach, large spacious rooms and friendly staff. The rooftop is really the highlight though - absolutely amazing views. Our stay was in September and we had the rooftop all to ourselves each night. Great place to have a few drinks and watch the sunset or to enjoy breakfast in the sun.

Our room stank of cigarettes. We notified the reception and they provided us with a an air freshener spray, which helped cover over some of it but didn't make it go away. It was a non-smoking room though so the blame should be placed on the previous guests and not the hotel

Great stay at Hotel Hyggelig, very close to the Haeundae beach and many restaurants, convenience stores nearby. The closest metro station is 12mn of walk and there are also a lot of buses. Our room is spacious, very clean, secured, the bed is very compfy and smelt good. The bathroom is big and clean but doesn't have a dry space since after a shower, the water will run down to the toilet as well, but overall it didn't really matter for us. The receptionnist let us check in earlier than expected so we could have a nap after our long flight. Overall it's a great value for money stay, we highly recommend this hotel !

Location. 2 minute from Haeundae beach, Sea life, restaurants, Blue line train...10-15 minutes from metro station. Room with amazing view at sea, with tv, refrigerator, kettle, big bath, terace..

It could be stressfull find the entrance, because one part of hotel and entrance is underconstruction.. Staff not responding to messages via booking, small towels, no closet just 2 hangers, but we use the chairs insted.

Hotel Hyggelig is one of the best hotels you can get for the price and location. It is at the edge of Haeundae Beach and as so, is a 5min walk to the beach itself. This is a pleasure to do anytime whether day or night. It is also near Busan attractions like the Beach Train and Sky Capsule - which is another 5min walk from the hotel. It is near food locations for authentic seafood and Korean barbecue. Public train transport to the Haeundae Station is a good amount of walk and is not recommended if walking with luggage as it is uphill from the hotel. Rooms facing the seaside fishermen boat are great. And better if you get the rooms with balcony. The toilet and bath are spacious and so are the rooms (we got the one with balcony). The staff are great! We did not get to use the top floor ledge and resto though.

The rooms need some fair amount of cleaning, but it is acceptable. My wife said the beds need some cleaning as well.

The location is just perfect, by the sea/fishing port, super close to the Haeundae beach without being in the center of it. So it's located in a quiet area but one can access the beach within 3 minutes. Lots of cafés and restaurants nearby. If you go to Busan by train you can take bus no. 1003 and reach the hotel in about an hour. The rooftop is also beautiful at night (you can bring your own drinks up there, there's no bar/café - the hotel café some people are talking about is closed)

The towels are pretty small but they provide 4 of them so it's kind of okayish still~
