"For the price we paid, it was adequate. However the curtains didn't block any lights at all. The safety sign (evacuation light) was bright. I tried to contact the property for check in instructions but received no replies. On the day of check in, we managed to find some one on site and let us store our luggage. He told us the check in was 3 pm. By 3:10 pm, we still couldn't check in using the self check in machine. The phone number on the door was not in use. We wouldn't use this property...

"The place was clean. The location was fantastic - close to station and market. Short walk up hill to cable car. The room is super tiny so someone has to crawl over the other person if need to use bathroom in the night. Bathroom also tiny. We used the bathroom downstairs on occasion. The room got very hot if the aircon wasn't on and the air con was loud. A few bright lights meant best to sleep with an eyemask. Good same day laundry service. "

"You do get what you paid for. If you’re coming during the winter This is kind of a far walk from HONG DAE ST. Almost 20 min. Thankfully it was just me in my room and i could lock it from inside. Otherwise there could of been someone on the other bed. Shared restroom with another room. Poor lighting and feel weird going to the restroom, so many hairs from other people. I don’t think i would stay here again, I rather pay a little more for a more convenient location. "

"If you're looking for a place that won't wreck your wallet but still keeps you in the action, this hostel is it. I stayed here for two weeks solo travel and had an amazing time. I left my room unoccupied for a few days during a Busan weekend trip and everything was just how I left it, so it's secure, too! Self check-in was a breeze. There's a local line bus stop literally right in front of the building or it’s like 15 minutes tops to walk to Hongik University to ride on the main or the subway,...

"This place was outstanding!

Also they offered free rentals for items you might need, a fully operational kitchen/fridge storage, and the location was even...
