Kimchee Busan Downtown Guesthouse

Unclaimed

This place is one of the best places to meet other travelers I’ve ever stayed at yet. The hosts are very involved with interacting the guests and are almost always around at checkin to help with whatever you need. It’s located just a short walk from Seomyeon so it’s easy access to one of the greatest shopping/party places in Busan. After staying here a couple of times, I noticed that the rooms at the end of the halls are quite spacious whereas some of the other rooms in the middle are rather cramped. The rooms were a bit simple and had no privacy curtains on the beds, but in a way, this allowed for everyone in our room to socialize together fairly readily.

***Stayed here in April 2025 for 4 nights*** Love: 1. Great location with the metro and bus stops hardly 2-5mins walking distance. Plenty of coffee shops, 7/11 etc around 2. Dorm room was comfy, large, AC. Comes with lockers and comfy beds too. 3. Wifi was excellent all over, including the room 4. Fully equipped kitchen for your own cooking and storing food. 5. Friendly helpful staff. 6. Big dining/common area to meet & socialise with other travellers Dislikes 1. Check in is not until 4pm but you can leave the luggage in storage 2. No privacy curtains for the dorm room beds. 3. Only 1 lift for the whole place making it a bit of wait to go up and down

Popping guesthouse. The common area was super lively so this would be a good option to meet people. The women's only dorm was really quiet and easy to relax. The receptionist was super nice and was very easy to communicate with. Only thing is that there are no curtains for privacy for each bed. But overall, great value for what you get!
