Excellent location and extremely helpful service. I was feeling ill during my trip and had to stay under the bedsheets for a couple days, and the owner was constantly checking up on me from my friend and doing their absolute best that I was able to recover fast and able to enjoy my visit in Busan. The amount of services in the room is astounding for the price, even if some of them like the shower are rather simple.

It was rather cold in the common areas, even if outside was warm. I understand this might be a building problem, but it made it difficult to follow the house-rule of eating only in the common areas.

The guesthouse lived up to the expectations set by reading other people's comments. Very clean. Convenient location. Helpful, friendly staff. I hope to stay here again one day.

Nothing. All good.

I like how Steven entertained us from the moment we entered the place until we checked out. Throughout the trip, he also provided us information regarding places and weather in Busan. Location wise, this place is amazing. Less than 10 metres, you are already in Haeundae Traditional Market. The place also a very public transportation friendly. There are bus stations and subway station nearby. I also recommend this place because it has a pantry area where you can heat up your food and do hot drinks. I give this place 5/5. Thank you Steven!

I was expecting a stove where I can cook there. But, maybe that was my mistake because I didn't contact the host to ask about it.

Incredibly well run and well located guesthouse. Steven was always super prompt at responding to messages and helpful. Room was spacious and clean. Many great places to eat nearby (note that the well known hotteok store nearby is closed on Mondays, but lots of alternatives). A note that as is often the case in S.Korea, toilet paper can't be flushed down the loo and the shower/toilet is one space. However, felt that this was as well done as it could be. Shower pressure was excellent. Liked that there was a laundry service although we didn't try it. I'd definitely stay again.

Fantastic location for anyone who's looking to stay at the Haeundae area. This place is 3 mins walk to the beach and also conveniently located around many traditional markets, as well as the main attraction of Haeundae. Steven is a fantastic host who speaks great English and has been helpful in my entire stay at the guesthouse. The room also has all the basic amenities you need, so will recommend this place for anyone who's looking for a good value for money option.

My only minor issue with the place is that the laundry is off location at another place. Regardless, it was only a 5 min walk away and accessible with 24hr service. Not a big deal but to be aware when booking!

Really enjoyed staying here. Guy on reception was lovely, kind and helpful. He even gave me a full suze towel 😆 The beds and bedding were great! Enough space to make a home for a couple of nights. Really good location for bus and about an 8 min walk to metro. Was next to markets but was quiet enough. Really clean, presentable and friendly. Walls set pretty thin but nothing a pair of ear plugs can't solve!

Shower rooms. Hate the damp and water going everywhere but that's just me... not used to that environment. Climbing the stairs with my suitcase.

I had a lovely time in MAMA Guesthouse and wish I could have stayed longer! The rooms were very comfortable and I was relieved to be able to adjust the temperature manually in the room during springtime in Busan. The water from the sink and the shower was strong and warm. The lounge area was very inviting and quiet yet it was also okay to chat with others and socialize. Special thanks to Steven for waiting for me to check-in despite my late flight and for making sure the guesthouse experience was smooth throughout my stay there!

Nothing at all! I had a very pleasant stay and I wish I could have spent more time in the guesthouse.

It is located next to the food market. The best hotteok is sold downstairs. The room was comfortable and ours was very quiet. There is a common area to use to eat, make coffee/tea, throw the garbage and change your towels. Cleaning is offered every three days. It is close to the capsule and express buses to the Busan main station run regularly and close by.

The only thing I didn't like was that there was no cabin for the shower. It was next to the door and when taking a shower, the whole bathroom got wet and it needed its time to dry up. Maybe for this reason, the bathroom had a certain smell.

Great location just off Haeundae Beach and the main street. Really fun market Street just behind with lots of food stalls. Clean basic rooms, basic kitchen facilities, really good recycling. Friendly owner Stephen kept us up-to-date with things that we should know about while we were staying.

Only one key card per room, which is difficult when you’re traveling as a group with people who have different sleep rhythms. The lounge/dining room is on the same floor as several bedrooms, which means that you always have to be quiet there.

MAMA Guesthouse Haeundae is ideal for travellers seeking a vibrant part of Busan. Just a short walk from Haeundae Beach, it’s surrounded by great shopping and street food, with a convenient bus stop nearby. There’s no breakfast or meal options, but the cosy common area includes a microwave, free water dispenser, and all the amenities you need. The bed was far more comfortable than the typical firm beds in Korea, and the room remained quiet despite the lively surroundings. Special thanks to Steven, who was exceptionally kind, helpful, and spoke excellent English, enhancing the stay!
