Reviews of Sohostel Korea

The location is really good. Really close to the Busan station and subway. And the counter can speak fluently English. It's really good for backpacker.

The male staff member who speaks Japanese was very kind. I had booked an 8-person mixed dormitory, but ended up in a 4-person dormitory. The room is small, but since outdoor shoes are not allowed, I could place my luggage directly on the floor, which was convenient. However, it was a bit inconvenient to have to change into outdoor shoes every time I moved between floors (outdoor shoes were stored in an open, unlocked shelf). It might be useful to bring your own sandals or flip-flops for moving around. I saw several Daiso stores in central Busan, so I bought sandals there for 3000W. There was no light by the bed, so it was dark; I used my phone's flashlight. There was a water dispenser and hot water available near the reception.

Average hostel, close to train station. Need a few more toilets as theres only 2 mens for about 50 people off the top of my head.

During my stay, the cleanliness, location, and facilities were good and met expectations. However, the service had areas for improvement, especially in the kitchen. The lady in charge sometimes addresses guests in a tone that can be perceived as rude or unkind, which creates discomfort. Additionally, there seems to be a lack of ventilation in some areas, as there are unpleasant odors in the mornings. I believe it's important to improve these aspects to offer a more pleasant experience.

Everything is genuinely clean and well-maintained without feeling sterile. The location puts you in actual Busan. The staff are lovely. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a place that feels comfy.

i loved the shared kitchen/dining area in this hostel! i thought it was really nice. the location was amazing too- so close to the train station!! i would definitely stay here again if i am ever there. the only issue is the bathroom is outside the rooms area so you needed your keycard to use it. as well, the door to the female bathroom didn’t close properly (the doors on the stalls were fine). the beds were alright too.

This hotel is right next to Busan Station and super easy to find, just down the street behind the McDonald's. Since I visited during the off-season, there were hardly any guests, which was great – I even got to have a whole room to myself sometimes! The guy at the front desk spoke excellent English, so communication was a breeze. The hygiene was decent, and the price was incredibly cheap. Plus, there are plenty of restaurants nearby, which is really convenient. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you're traveling solo on a budget. It's a perfect fit!

I highly recommend this establishment. The staff is very pleasant, and it's extremely clean and comfortable, all for a really reasonable price!

Rude staff, feel like being in school dorm where the old lady at the hostel always watching you and tell u what to do while you stay and make my experience very uncomfortable stay.

Excellent kitchen facilities with amazing trash compartments & detailed descriptions on where banana peels go but slight discrepancies eg reception said banana peels go in the red bin between sink & stove and reception’s mum said it went in the trash bin. Reception took out my banana peels from trash bin into red bin & his mum took out from red bin into trash bin. The shoe removal on level 5 + 7 are fine too but a stool at the lift is better than sitting at the steps, to wear shoes Asked for second pillow & duvet & happy with fast service

Nearby Busan station, easy to go. Luggage keeping is available, towel and water are supplied. Have a puppy at common room, nice to meet u.
