One of the best hostels I've stayed in all of Asia. The facilities are comfortable, clean, and modern. There's plenty of space and privacy. The kitchen and common areas are also very good. Without a doubt, the best thing is the volunteers who work there, and the managers are all very friendly. You have free access to the gym and to classes and activities. I was able to teach yoga here one day and felt very welcome; I loved it, and I'll be back. Thank you for opening your doors to me and giving me the opportunity to teach. ♥️🚀

I seriously suspect the high ratings are fabricated. If you're introverted, I wouldn't recommend staying here; it's quite frustrating. The staff, as some reviews suggest, are mostly volunteers, and the management is fairly standard. The day I tried to check in but hadn't registered online, I was forced to complete the online registration before I could check in. Ugh... so exhausting. The main problem was that I was already at the counter, and having to go through this complicated process was really annoying. The bathrooms and toilets were also incredibly cramped; it's hard to imagine this place being full. The men's restroom was also quite smelly. The men's bathroom was the most memorable; it was small, and its design made me feel like I was serving in the military – absolutely speechless. The public spaces looked spacious in the photos, but in reality, they were incredibly cramped – they probably made the most of the space. Breakfast was just simple toast, coffee, milk, and cereal, and the restaurant called it "continental style" – haha, that's hilarious! I was going crazy. And then there was the supposedly soundproof capsule bed I stayed in… I can tell you, I could hear everything I said inside and outside the room! Does the owner have a serious misunderstanding of what soundproofing means? Finally, the sink for washing hands and brushing teeth was quite unique, though. I can't imagine how funny it must have been when it was packed – it was like a refugee camp! Anyway, I checked out early the next morning; I didn't want to stay a moment longer. The price was completely disproportionate to the value for money. They even hired volunteers, yet they still managed to charge such low prices – speechless!

Wonderful hostel!! The moment you step in you can feel the great vibe created by the volunteers. They organise so many nice activities, and there’s so much to do inside if you just want to chill. Close to many of the highlights of Busan. The views over the city are beautiful. As a light sleeper I slept very well in the single private room, so you also should have no problem. Thank you so much! Obrigado amigas Hellen, Bia, Isabela e Letícia! 🌈

I stayed in as a tourist. Things that I like: 1. Complimentary amenities for socializing, lazing around (best that I have seen, including pool table, darts, tvs to laze around with headphones ,etc 2. Breakfast 3. Socializing activities 4. Free gym access ( but I didn't use as I didn't have the correct attire) 5. Capsule (more spacious that I had imagined it to be, with lockers, and charging ports) 6. Excellent ammenities for bathroom 7. Gives a very cosy and vibrant atmosphere Can't really complain much, other than the location being hard to spot as it's located at Level 11 of a commercial building I didn't take much photos but there's definitely more available that you can see from the other fellow reviewers!

I stayed in a single, private room. This was a great stay. The facilities are excellent, staff very friendly, and vibe good. Highly recommended if staying in Busan!

Best hostel I've been to. The facility was great, but what made it really special we're the people. Heads up to all the volunteers, especially Samy!!
