The location is nicely centralized with easy access to the metro and close to Busan Station. The staff is quite helpful. However, they do seem to attract a rather loud party-type crowd. Therefore, if you are looking for a place that is quiet, you are better off getting one of the private rooms. However, even with a private room, I had an experience with guests on my same floor who were extremely noisy in the early hours (4-5am). Also, there is construction happening in the building across t...

Gute Lage, aber recht dreckig und teilweise komischer Vibe. Viele Locals die nur etwas günstiges gesucht haben. Common Area nicht so taktisch ausgerüstet. Die Betten sind zudem sehr hart und wackelig. Das Gebäude selbst ist sehr heruntergekommen

this is the worst hostel i have ever stayed at. it's filthy and hard to sleep in the dorms. i would recommend staying elsewhere if you are visiting busan.

Great value for money, you get what you pay for. It’s quite far away from the happening areas, spend a lot of time on public transport. Common area is minute, super super small. Kinda weird vibes.

Had a great stay here. Good kitchen, great location, nice and chill staff. Gave me really good restaurant recommendations. Wifi works well. You can tell they upkeep the facilities with daily cleaning. I would stay here again.

Positives: Cheap, clean, centrally located, very nice staff. Negatives: so cold (except for the dorms, the rest of the facilities were always so freaking cold I had to dress the same as if I were outdoors), the kitchen is poorly equipped, and the atmosphere is not as social as other hostels I've been to before.

I adored Kimchee! Busan was my favorite city in my most recent travel and Kimchee is such a good jumping off point to explore the city... Great location close to the metro and lots of restaurants and cafes. The rooms were comfortable, good temperature, and quiet.. the common areas were great for cooking and hanging out with the other travelers in the evening! Juan was very helpful, as I extended multiple times haha.. and great with directions and recommendations. Definitely would stay again!

The price to value here is amazing. Great stay for a cheap price. I stayed for a few days and ended up booking for 6 more. It’s literally 1 block away from the metro and bus. It’s clean, and comfortable. The staff are really friendly and helpful. A great spot to stay if you wanna tour Busan.
