Great place to immerse in the local culture with the more traditional market by day and then the shopping and night life district just walking distance. Subway station is just minutes away and can take you just about anywhere in Korea.
I stayed in a dormitory the first night and then in a double room the next night because my husband joined me. The dormitory was clean however had a really bad smell. The double room was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. Service was decent. The breakfast was terrible. The little that they offered was not tasteful besides toast and a banana. The location was decent as well if you’re ok with walking down strong fishy smelling alleys. Overall, I would not book again.
Mr Lee, the new owner who just took over the property 4 month ago was determined to please every visitor & to run the biz successfully.
During my stay in Sep 2019, the property was still under some refurbishment which I believe support the Mr Lee’s new desire to make the place comfortable to all future guests. The lounge area was cosy & nicely set up.
I will definitely wish to see the new look of this property again after the refurbishment is done during my next visit!! “Kamsamhamida”!!
They did not clean the room on the second night. No toilet paper, everything was dirty.

Unclean room and messy bedding n full of dust
Room is not clean, full of dust below the bed, not sure do they change the bedding it so messy look like someone sleep before for the bed when I check in,
Enclosed the pictures show the bottle below the bed upon check in
Good hostel, with friendly staff. They let me leave my bags at the location before the check-in time, which was great! The room is a reasonable size, with a low-level of cleanliness for my personal taste (some hair, some dust) but the bed and bathroom was excellently clean, so no complaints.
A bit difficult to find the hostel for me, because it's stuck right in front of/next to a really big live marketplace, something I wasn't aware of. So something to be noted for those looking to travel here.
All in all a pleasant stay.
Upon arrival, I was greeted by the guys at the desk who were very friendly. :)
This was my first time sharing a dorm with others and it wasn't bad. They kept quiet when they needed to be. The only thing I couldn't stand was the washroom which reeked of some bad odor. Other that that, I would recommend this hostel to other guests who are looking to stay in Seomyeon for a few days.

Standard but noisy
It's a standard hostel with clean enough facilities. I had a bed in a 6 female bed with a private bathroom. Everything was fine until 3am in the morning it sounded like someone was bouncing a ball from the upper floor. I couldn't sleep from then on. I was in the bottom bunk so I don't know how the person on the top bunk was able to sleep. I had an early check out and left around 6.30am and the bouncing ball sound was still there. May be it's unusual that this happened. The location is great. Less than 5 mins to subway station Seomyeon, the market and the shopping area, outdoor and lotte.
I visited Busan for a weekend trip and all the other hotels were fully booked except for expensive family suites and I had no other options and nowhere else to go and made a reservation at this hostel. Did I regret my decision? NO! The location is really convenient as it's only 10ish minute of walking distance to a subway station. What I liked about this hostel is that the staffs are very friendly, and accommodating and breakfast is included(toast,jam,egg, milk and such) which was nice as I didn't want to eat soondae gookbap or pig soup early in the morning. the dormitory room I stayed in had bathroom and 6 beds and adjustable curtain attached to the beds. After 8? or 10pm(can't remember the exact time), all the staff will leave and lock the front door so if you are staying out late, you have to access through the doorway in the parking lot.
+Budget stay
+Quiet at night
+spacious
nice staff though it seemed that they did not have the service of carrying your luggage upstairs
- Though knowing a little Korean, I still had hard time figuring out how to use the remote control(TV and air-con all-in-one) as it was all Korean.
- There was no staff after 10 o'clock so I couldn't find someone to help me out of the situation above
- The room was not so clean
Fantastic, the room was large enough and very clean. The air conditioner would not turn on, but it was early in the season for forced air. Opening the window worked just fine for a breeze.
Hostel is around 8-10 mins walk from Metro station, easy to find. Surrounding is local food market, if u like to feel how local life like, it is a plus. Around 10 mins walk to busy Shopping areas, easy to get in and out. Room is spacious, plenty of rooms to fully open huge suitcase.
Downside:
#1 There's no lift in hostel which is actually not a issue, the thing is staff didn't even ASK if I need any help on carry my suitcase to upstairs ( this is not sign of friendly caring behavior )
#2 The Check-in counter is actually the Ground Floor Cafe's counter, A Lady Staff scanned my passport and have it printed as hardcopy and place it in a CLAER plastic folder and just put the clear folder next to the cashier drawer with my passport copy detail facing out...... ( which means whenever people come in and out of the café, can see my passport detail with no hassle.I believe each of us do not want our own Passport detail to be shown to anyone who reach the café counter!). Staff didn't treat Guest passport detail with any kind security or privacy concern ( which is not acceptable in now a day society) , and I strongly believe they will not place their own passport detail in the same way.
