It's quiet, slept great every night, everything was accessible. I'd come back for sure!

The beds were definitely a little too rough for my back, kept waking up with back pain in the morning.

Very alive with different people from different countries. Sometimes the conversations could be loud but didn't bother me. The staff was as helpful as much as they could be. Despite being in the centre of the busiest part of Busan the hostel was tucked up in a corner far from the maddening crowd. It was easy to get to all the various sites I wanted to visit. The transport system in Busan is excellent. The temples in the mountains are of particulars challenge (sometimes at 40° incline) and at more than 1.4 km uphill. This was very taxing for an "elderly" person Korea like me

Nothing really.

The staff were so helpful here and welcoming. The rooms were spacious and the common bathroom was clean with never a queue to use so that was great. The location was ideal and great to be walking distance to places.

Stayed as a group of 3 in a room that could fit 6 people. We managed to check in late around 2am as we had some delays with our transportation, there were no issues with checking in. The room and bathrooms were quite clean, didnt encounter any noise issues that have read from other reviews. The bathrooms are separated by gender and only 1 shared bathroom per floor so it could be inconvenient for some but I appreciate the safety measures that they have placed for this rule. The staff and other guests were very friendly too, they are very welcoming to other guests even at midnight.

The location was great and place to hangout with other people.

1. The room it self was ok. But as a woman it was uncomfortable. They placed the mirror in a bad place, there wasn't enough light to use for makeup. Same problem at the bathroom. 2. The bed itself was lumpy. 3. I gave my laundry and paid, the guy at front desk said it will be ready at midnight, next morning I came to take the laundry to find out it wasn't done. There was no one on the front desk to even get my money back. 4.it semes that they didn't clean the toilet. For 2 days one of the toilet cabinet had no toilet paper in it.

The bathrooms were great, very spacious, clean, great shower pressure, good toilets and sinks. The dorm rooms were also very open and spacious which was awesome. They did have lockers however you need to bring your own lock. The staff were very friendly and polite. The location is also good and close to convenience stores and the metro.

Some of the bunks beds were quite squeaky. The lockers were a bit narrow. The pillows were quite uncomfortable but not the worst.

I went with group of friends and all of us stayed in 10 bedrooms room. The stay was really comfortable looking at the distance to city center and the comfortability of the bed and room itself. The property is really close to the night club area as well so it was really convenient to hang out and have fun without worrying about getting to commute because it's only 5 minutes walk. Also, the convenient store is just right in the corner which makes it way more comfortable.

I think what lack is the sleeper in the bathroom. It would be more awesome if they provide at least a pair of sleeper for taking shower so that we won't be having to go barefoot to the shower room.

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.

My friend and I had a chill time here. The staff were super friendly and helpful, and we really appreciated the laundry service. Kitchen and common area were well equipped and decently clean, and the water filter was really useful. Nice social place : )

Our bed was comically bad - I think you could find a nicer one in prison. A foam mattress topper would make a world of difference. The room was also missing some things - a lamp would be nice as well as somewhere to hang your towels. I think with a few more of these details the place would be really wonderful.
