While only 60 years ago South Korea was considered a developing country, it’s now one of Asia’s economic and cultural leaders. Super-chic Seoul combines modernism with ancient history; coastal Busan serves up rugged beach spots; and Jeju Island wows with volcanic landscapes and towering mountains.

Worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in .....avoid avoid avoid

Reviewed By Elena L

I’ve stayed in over 100 hostels and definitely 150+ hotels and I can safely say this is the worst place I’ve stayed in ,the pics and description are exceptionally misleading and I urge anyone wanting to stay in to reconsider It’s filthy ,dirty ,the dorm has staff that sleep in the same room as the guests ,the bathrooms are exceptionally small to the point that one girl couldn’t actually use one them as it was too narrow Another girl I met who booked for 6 nights left after one night When we both complained to the receptionist (who for me was only there in the last day as the reception is constantly closed ) was hostile ,refused to believe there was an issue and then offered to pay her off essentially so booking.com wouldn’t hear about the issues and with me he flat out refused to acknowledge there were issues Essentially it’s a slum where he has cheap labour from people that are form to her parts of Asia that come here ,he gives them free beds as long as they clean his other properties The rooms smell ,the kitchen is dirty ,nobody uses the communal space as it’s freezing ,dark ,dirty and messy Honestly Avoid this place at all costs !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Reviewed By R742DPbrittanys

I have stayed at this hostel twice now. The first time was such a great experience that when I was taking my friend to the city (Seoul) for the weekend, I immediately reached out to try to stay here again. Tommy was so helpful in getting us a room. He is always helpful with information about the local area. (He helped us find a great movie theatre nearby). He is friendly and kind and really cares about making your stay memorable. On top of all that, the hostel is adorable and clean and so convenient! I highly recommend! I'm hoping to stay there at least one more time before I leave Korea.

Value for money, location is also good.

Reviewed By NATNATCHONG

Quite convenience, it is located in between 2 exits of Hongdae Station. If you take the AREX from/to airport, better go to exit 3, otherwise would be exit 2. There are many restaurants close by. The hostel also serve light breakfast. The only problem for us is our twin room's drain is not working well.

INSIDE BUSAN hostel, the second branch of Backpackers INSIDE, aims to offer you a delightful experience within a very social environment and architecturally interesting premises, and a nice little garden as a bonus! And you will appreciate the very central location of our hostel, with quick and easy access to public transportation in Busan.

Charming hostel, great host but lots of mosquitos

Reviewed By Bayjb

Inside Busan is a cute boutique hostel with great location and near Busan Station. Easy to access the sights and public transport. The hostel host is very sweet and helpful. She has a great binder of things to do in the area and detailed directions of how to get there. Breakfast is good and each room has an attached bathroom. Laundry on site too. The dorms are small, comfortable for 2, snug for 3, if full with 4 people, that would be tight. Beds are hard but there is good locker storage. My only issue here is the volume of mosquitos around the hostel day and night. Host does provide spray and a plug in to keep them away but I received more than 10 bites while I was there that are painful and unsightly. If you’re sensitive to bug bites, I’d say be prepared to be covered or stay elsewhere. I would recommend this hostel but given the bug issue IDK if I would stay again.

Rainbow Guesthouse

PERFECT

Reviewed By Lao_Bxl

Our stay was perfect: the place is clean and tidy, beautifully decorated. Your room will have everything you need. The breakfast is very good you can chose between western or korean food. Perfectly situated, there are many buses close by to travel the island easily, you'll find many shops and the busy area is just a few minutes walking. Kay was lovely at the reception, she will give you any information you need, in English, Korean, and even maybe French or Japanese.
