Kimchee Haeundae Guesthouse

Do not stay here. Listen to the other reviews. We switched to a different stay immediately because of how disgusting the rooms were. Mold on the walls in the room, massive cobwebs all throughout the building, stinks extremely bad. Do yourself a favour and spend a bit more to stay somewhere else, the price

I did not like my stay here and checked out a night early. The beds did not have curtains on them so I couldn’t sleep well when my roommate was up later than me. There are not soundproof walls. Also there were weird stains on the walls that looked like blood? Probably bugs but still gross. The good things were that there was an elevator and the location was pretty convenient but outside wasn’t very nice looking. Also the people at the hostel were kinda weird. not a good social vibe

Unfortunately this was the only hostel left so I had to book it. The rooms weren’t as bad as i thought based on the reviews… there was some mould but the room was clean at least. My biggest problem was that the people staying in the dorms were really strange. I woke up in the night to one guy sat on my bed staring at me. Other guys were so so so persistent and would not leave me alone. Overall because it’s so cheap it seems to attract disrespectful people.

The room I stayed in should be illegal. As I’ve now seen other reviewers say the same - the private room I had was so gross. I left after one night and even that had me sick from the mould. So many better places out there - don’t make the mistake I did!

I have been to hostels & guesthouses all over the world, and the this property was the DIRTIEST property I have ever stayed in. There are bug stains, mold, excessive amounts of dust, and other stains I do not know - that got me and my friend sick after one night of staying at this property. We spoke with the front desk where the person said this was the normal condition of the rooms, and blamed our sickness on the heater. See my photos on google and do not stay at this property. No refunds given

Th location is super good if you wanna go to the beach, as it is a 2-min walk to the beach. Other than that, nothing to note. Rooms had a carpeted floor, which was horrible, as it was full of hairs and spots. Cleanliness is a problem here, room full of mold everywhere, as well as cobwebs. No real window in the room, and the air-con and ventilation had a salami smell. We had to keep ours off throughout the whole stay. Would not recommend it !

The beds were awful and no curtains, so no proper privacy. It was good having the bathroom as an ensuite to the room however if you wanted a hot shower the water pressure was so low it was a joke. The worst bit was there was bird poo on one of the beds and on the floor on of the room.

DO NOT FOOL YOURSELF WITH THE PICTURES OF THE HKSYEL POSTED IN HERE! They were probably taken 10 plus years ago when they just opened the hostel. It is ugly, filthy dirty, trash everywhere, simply disgusting! I prefer to think that the reviews are all fake lol. The only good thing about it is the location! You have been warned!

I feel like the hostel wasn’t as good as it should’ve been for the money I paid. I met people staying at different hostels that paid less for way better and cleaner accommodation. The staff were okay, but it’s wasn’t very clean and there aren’t any locks on the inside of the room so it didn’t feel very safe.

The dirtiest place I’ve stayed in during my travels. There was boogers, squashed mosquitoes and blood all over the walls. The building is old and run down, it needs a serious deep clean & some renovating. For the same price you can stay somewhere much nicer!

Decent facilities, not super social, but an amazing location right by the beach.

Very nice place to stay in for the night!

For 10 bucks a night USD its worth every penny. Good place to sleep at night in a really convenient location. Staff were great especially Emre and TK. Good place to meet new people to go out with. For the amount I paid I have no complaints.

I would highly recommend staying here for a couple of nights while you visit the Haeundae area, before possibly moving to another hostel to see the rest of Busan. The location right next to the beach is delightful.

Affordable and close to the action, but a little rough around the edges. Close to the action and very much a party hostel if that's your vibe.

Great location for Haeundae, far from the rest of Busan

Stayed for 2 nights. Noticed alot of people staying there were also living and working. Beds were very squeaky as thin metal. Location is good, close to beach. Overall ok. Buti think if i stay in busan again would be a different place

Overall average stay. Beds are creaky and there’s no privacy curtain/reading light/charging outlet near each bed, so it’s VERY basic. The walls are also fairly thin, as I could hear people having conversations in the room next door. Location is good for being right next to Haeundae beach, but that’s about it, as it’s really far to get anywhere else quickly. The hostel was also eerily quiet. No social vibe at all. Best thing about the hostel was the staff, who were friendly and accommodat...

Super well located, 5min away from Haeundae beach. We stayed in a private double room with bathroom, which was good. The living room at the entrance is quite spacy so you can relax or eat there. The staff was quite helpful as well, despite the fact that there are only available from 4pm til 9pm.

300m to the beach with safe lockers in the room very good deal

Amazing place

has more potential l, I think they need to renovate and also there was no one to help if you needed something. the rooms are very basic. it's okay for the price and close to the beach.

fantastic hostel, Jin is great, & the place has the best social atmosphere i found anywhere in korea! loved it :)

The staff was ok. The hostel was pretty empty when I was there so I didn't met a lot of people. The bed are definitely too small and uncomfortable and their is not curtains on beds.... So bad.
