Hostel Single Single, hotel in Busan

Located in Busan, a 2-minute walk from Busan China Town, Hostel Single Single has air-conditioned accommodations and a terrace.

I had a private room on the first floor. - Check in was seamless - Room was big enough with AC - Shared bathroom was clean and not too busy - Location was close to Busan train station - Full espresso machine. I don't really eat much for breakfast, so I was fine with the minimal toast/jam/butter. There was also cereal.

    I loved being in this hostel and will definitely come back. The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. I had to extend my stay, which wasn't a problem. Breakfast was included. Essentially we could eat toast, cereals etc in the kitchen, so it was very basic, but enough. Everything was clean and it was easy to meet new people. Also the location was great, very close to a shopping street and the Jagalchi Fish Market

    Clean, comfortable and in a great location. Room was super clean and modern and the bed was really comfortable. Check in was easy, all automated and you can leave your bags in a safe spot before and after. We had a great view of the beach, ocean and cable cars going to the sky park. Amnam park is nearby, lots of restaurants and 2 min from a bus stop that takes you to/from the KTX Busan Station (30min) and Jalgachi (20min). We enjoyed Songdo because it was quieter than Haeundae but still close to alot of Busan.

    Cheap stay, all there that you need (kitchen, toilet). Feels a bit like budget hotel, it actually is a budget hotel… but for that price a very good value. We didn’t try their breakfast, some options nearby (Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks). Free laundry room! Staff was friendly and helpful. Convenient location in the city

    This was the best hostel experience I’ve had so far. The staff are really friendly, it’s in a great location, the atmosphere is great, you get to meet people, the beds are pretty spacious, you get a big locker inside the bed area, another locked under the bed that fit my small suitcase, and another locker in the common area for your shoes. Overall, would recommend!

    One of the best hostels I stayed at in Korea! It has everything a backpacker needs: clean showers and toilets, a properly equipped kitchen and an amazing host (who speaks good English). You can even use some gaming consoles The dorm is clean and spacious with lockers provided The host was very helpful with every question I had and we even had dinner together. It is right outside of the train station with access to many busses and the metro. Several restaurants and convenient shops around the building.
