Stayed in closet bed. While small very comfortable. Breakfast was very nice. Cook your own eggs with toast. But had kitchen to cook your own food. Showers very good hot water. Only complaint would be doors into sleeping areas close very hard thus banging Everytime someone enters or leaves room. Please adjust these doors I beg. But very good place to stay in good location.

Very nice

30 secs from Nampo station and the Fashion street, close to many good coffee shops and restaurants, 5mins away from 2 famous fish markets. The location is perfect since Nampo is my favourite place in Busan. 
The common room is not that big but very comfortable. 
Showers and restroom are clean.
And the beds are really greats !

Perfect location

The hostel was very clean, and the guy working the counter spoke remarkably good English by Korean standards, and ASTONISHINGLY good Mandarin as well. It cost about 15 euros, and included an all-you-can eat breakfast, which comprise eggs, toast, jam, Nutella and orange juice.

The bunks provide curtains for privacy, and your own personal night light and power socket in each bunk bed, which was also nice and big and spacey. If there's one complaint I have it's that it's not really a social sort of hostel - the common room is off limits after 10 I think and I even got shoeed out when I went there at about midnight. I like my hostels to be a little more social than that. Also Busan is quite hot in June and there wasn't any air conditioning at night, which was slightly uncomfortable to say the least. Apart from this though no complaints at all. The location was stellar, one minute walk away from Nampo metro station, and the Nampo-Jagalchi district itself is very nice. Plus there's a currency exchange downstairs from the hostel which offers excellent rates. 



Clean as a whistle, fantastic location and breakfast included for bargain price

I think this is the best place to stay in Busan. Everything is nice.

Location:
Located at the beginning of Gwangbokro, the shopping and culture street of Nampo. It is the very center of the touristic area. Lotte Department Store is close as well. Bus and Subway are 5 min away by foot.

Service:
- The manager is the only one to face except the cleaning lady. But, he's ready to help with the bell during the day and I felt no rudeness from him.
- He provided me several free towels.
- There were more foreign visitors than Koreans. And I saw no one complaining about anything.

Roomrate:
Not the cheapest in Nampo. But, reasonable price.

Facility:
- The guesthouse uses 4~6th floors. The elevator is available.
- The manager's travel photos are being posted at stair side. Fun to watch.
- Lockers are in the room. And locks with deposits.
- Each floor has own WiFi Access Point and they are strong everywhere.
- Quiet spacious room with a tray to hang clothes or laundries.
- Used codes for doors instead of keys.
- Wonderful lounge and kitchen. Breakfast has unlimited eggs, toasts and juice.
- Very clean.

Flawless guesthouse in Nampo, Busan

Let me start by saying the place is clean, that's a plus. The little capsules are also a reasonable size, though at 6ft my feet still kicked the curtain open in the night so people can see in whilst you sleep. 

Whilst the rooms do have air-conditioning units that come on late evening until around mid-night, the control is all done by the staff - so for the few nights I have been here, it  has been put at 25'C. For me this meant I was too hot in the night time, so to compensate I tried to sleep before midnight. Only to be woken up by other people in the dorm getting in around 11PM very noisely, I guess I just got unlucky. 

I do have an app on my phone which allows me to control air-conditioning units and for the first day I put the temperature down to 21'C as no one else was in my dormitory. I was open and honest with the owner when he queried as to whether or not I changed the settings. 

However he also accused me of lowering the temperature to 24'C the following night, as the other guests in the dormitory complained they were too cold. This is complete and utter rubbish. I didn't touch the unit after he requested me not to do so, even though I couldn't sleep for most of the night due to how hot the room was!

I'd highly recommend avoiding this place if you want to have an undisturbed, cool nights sleep - especially if it is in the mid 30's outside, which is was during my stay.

Breakfast was disappointing too, there were literally a few eggs left for people when I got down in the early morning. But the biggest issue being there was no proper coffee or tea.

Internet was okay, but by far not the greatest I've had in Korea.

Really disappointing stay.

Stayed in this hotel one night and I'm glad it was not any longer. Rooms and common area are cold, which makes the stay unpleasant. The facility is pretty cool but the coldness of the place (despite saying this to the receptionist) makes me rate it low.
