At Hostel Single Single, complimentary breakfast is provided at the shared kitchen.

Perfectly designed small hostel with 8 rooms in a safe location with good transportation. Beautiful shared space with amazing little kitchen. Italian espresso machine is high quality. This small hostel offers no dorms but instead a better concept, smaller private clean and very comfortable rooms in quiet area. Everything about this accommodation was very well thought out with great care and love. It feels like being home. The owner is very kind and speaks English fluently. This mattresses is super comfortable and cleans sheets and comforter are provided. Room has ac and floor heating system in winter. I missed breakfast the first morning but the communal table looks like a great way to meet other guests. Bathroom shower is spotless and has well designed shower with hangers for your clothing. I decided my first night to extend for a total of three nights. Highly recommend gem in Busan.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location right by the train station. Spacious and comfy common areas. Kitchen by far the largest and best equipped I've seen at a hostel in Korea. Modern facilities. Showers amongst the best I've seen at a hostel, period (with a large wet and dry zone). Friendly and very helpful staff that go the extra mile. Impeccably clean.

    This hostel is in a great location. I was so lucky when I stayed because not only did I have the whole dorm room to myself but also the whole female floor! The shower is located on a separate floor but this did not bother me. Location is great, right beside metro and KTX.

    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.
