    Not fancy but enjoyed by many.

    • Bed in 6-Bed Female Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The beds do have curtains around them, but they are see through--I prefer a little more privacy.

    It has a fabulous view of the bay from the sitting area on the balcony. Breakfast was provided-bread, jam, cook your own eggs, and coffee machine that grinds and serves americano or espresso. It is an older looking place but cleaned everyday--always washed towels available. Good shower. So easy to go to places by foot. The 600 airport bus is easy and close to the hostel.

    The check-in is not quite clear and the room I stayed in had basically no ventillation. The bathrooms could be a bit cleaner.

    The view from the terrace is unbeatable! You can also park on the first floor and donmt have to climb as there is an elevator.

    There was no tea in the kitchen. Sometimes it was hard to get hold of the staff member as he was always running errands around the hostel. Upper beds curtains could be installed too as there is only one big common light in the room which disturbs when someone switch it on at night.

    The position of the hostel is perfect to explore the city and surrounding areas. The provided amenities are great too, from breakfast to the comfortable beds. The rooms are very big for Korean standards so you can open both your suitcases and arrange them. Shops to get food are literary only a minute or two away. As for the bathrooms, the stalls are divided by glass and each stall has a curtain so you have your privacy and no one runs into you showering. I would recommend you get yourself plastic slippers for when you are showering though. The whole room has one common ground so you are standing in the water from the other stalls.

    It’s located 1:30 hours by public bus from the airport. Though it has some places (a couple of waterfalls and an exposition hall) that you can go to walking, the most interesting ones are quite far.

    The seafront views (though it’s just in front of the harbour, with many ships). Simple breakfast included (coffee, bread, jam, cheese and egg). Wide room for 8 people with lockers.

    Quite dirty bathrooms, toilet, the kitchen is in the middle of the place and it constantly smells of cooked stuff, one feels like in a canteen. Definitely cleaning should be improved

    The location of the hostel is pretty good, nice view from the terrace and very cheap plus it. a social place to meet other people.

    The shower is tricky. It's one big space with shower heads solely divided by curtains. This means that if you're taking a shower and someone decides to take one as well, you need to wait for that person to be done before you can leave. The only other option is to step out while passing by someone naked (please don't do that obviously). The only thing between you and other people taking a shower is a shower curtain. A lot of people were leaving the room door open. The door requires a digital code to open, I'm guessing that people didn't want to bother with that and preferred to leave it open instead.

    The view from the room is amazing, you can see the port of the city. You also have a balcony to catch a glimpse of the view. The room is large, with small lockers inside. There is a small breakfast available in the morning (eggs, jam, bread, tea). You also have a kitchen to cook. There is free cold and hot drinkable water and the staff is kind. The bathroom has shampoo, shower gel, q-tips and other nice products.

    The smell. It stinks really bad inside, the first night was worse, no clue why. The other nights were more tolerable but I couldn’t spend the day in there, made sure to be out all day as it’s really uncomfortable to stay in the common areas. The aircon in the bedroom helps so it’s fine in there, but not in the common areas. It wasn’t a very clean place apart from towels and bed sheets, the photos really upsell this place, come prepared for finding something a little bit more rough.

    Well situated with lots of nature spots a walk away as well as from city centre. The bed was comfortable and clean. Small lockers provided. The free breakfast was good, it’s not a buffet, you have to cook it yourself but it was really good to have. Very good shampoo and shower gel provided and fresh towels every day. The owner is a really nice guy! The people the hostel attracted were cool, made a lot of nice friends, chatting in the balcony with a good view.

    No English sign outside the building, so a little tricky to find. The host is a moody sort of fellow who liked to played his music loudly regardless of what guests might appreciate. Showers were not fun & the whole venue needs a proper scrub.

    Loved the view of the dock out the window & proximity to attractions

    Nothing was clean, everything was dirty : toilets very dirty and were never cleaned during our three days stay Towels and bedsheets had stains (all of them) Our room had not been cleaned properly before we checked in The tables in the common room were not that cleaned The worst part was the common shower (we used the women’s bathroom) : it was not cleaned at all (there was a pile of hair on the bathroom floor on the first day that was still there 24 hours later), there were bugs everywhere, dirt, and it smelled like sewers.

    The view is nice

    The shower room was just a row of showers, you would have to walk through other people's showers to get in/out, the cubicles were not individual. The room wasn't clean and was quite mouldy.

    Everything about this place is good value, from staff to location and its facilities. The staff is very friendly and super thoughtful. I'm from a tropical country so during the time I visited, 4 degree C at night is just so cold to me. And the staff let me use the electric mattress. The view you get from the balcony is very nice.

    Ummmm nothing this place is perfection. 👌

    Wow! This hostel is incredible. I wish i could give it 11 out of 10. The view over the harbour out of the dorm room floor to ceiling window is next level. The staff member works very hard to keep everything spic and span ! There are more creams and ointments in the bathroom to choose from than I have in my own bathroom. Warm bedroom. Comfy beds. Super hot shower. Free breakfast. Excellent common area. Wow wow wow 👌
