It was a great experience. The owner of the house was very considerate. It was a completely different experience at the price of a backpacker. I thought the space in the house was great and it was very comfortable to live in. I hope I can stay here again.

住宿經驗棒但設施有改進空間

民宿老闆是喜歡交朋友跟旅行的女生，自己有點不喜歡夜夜笙歌式的social，在這裡感受不到，跟老闆還有所有房客都相處得很自在，入住當晚還跟其他房客還有老闆到附近草梁市場吃了道地的烤肉。 我是背包客入住四人女生宿舍，剛好入住的兩天都沒有其他同房房客，不然其實浴室有點小，然後不推薦拖行李箱的旅客，進民宿前有一段長階梯要走。以這個價錢能住到交通方便及附早餐的青旅很划算！

I really liked my stay here! Jiyeon was a lovely host and so helpful with everything from giving directions to find the hostel, helping me get settled in with my luggage, and making sure my stay was comfortable. The room itself is small but perfect for just resting your head as you want to be out most of the time exploring Busan! Breakfast is provided though you do have to cook your eggs yourself (which I didn't mind at all!) and the kitchen is very clean and well-stocked if you need it. The hostel is a short walk to Busan Station, which made getting around very easy. I'd definitely stay here again the next time I'm in this lovely city as it's such a great value!! Thank you Jiyeon! :)

Lovely hostel in the heart of Busan

We absolutely loved our stay at Inside Busan. Jiyeon (the owner) is fantastic and the hostel she has created is one of a kind. We stayed in a very small room above the common area and loved every minute. Breakfast ingredients (eggs, bread and such) are provided each morning and the guest can cook for themselves in the common kitchen. We had fabulous discussions with Jiyeon and other guests morning and night. It was wonderful to get to know other travelers and to know more about the area and Korea from Jiyeon. We chose to stay at this hostel based on how "homey" and modern it looked on line. We were not disappointed. We also really enjoyed staying in Chinatown and being close to the downtown area. Busan station is quite close and makes for easy transport. Our stay in Busan was as good as it was because we stayed at Inside Busan. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable, friendly and modern.

We were completely satisfied with our stay, and would return in a heartbeat. This property is a unique architecturally designed cluster of 4 buildings on a single lot. Everything is modern and comfortable. Breakfast was simple and self serve (eggs, toast and coffee), but sufficient. The owner is delightful and helpful.

Cozy hostel near Busan station

The hostel is in a quiet residential area just in walking distance to Busan subway/bus/railway station and many restaurants/shops/market. The house is in good condition with pretty design, and the room is very clean and comfortable (and good wi-fi!). The host is hospitable and provides useful information about local traveling. The only thing one can be picky about probably is a-little small bathroom and a quite steep stairs if living at 2F while you having heavy luggage. But overall the room is very good with nice service, I got a fantastic experience here and therefore recommend to family trip / backpackers who would like to visit Busan.

부산역에서 가깝고 건물이 작고 예쁜, 고객 친화적? 게스트하우스 느낌의 호스텔 :)

건물이 깔끔하게 현대식으로 지어져있어서 너무 예뻤습니다. 비록 크기는 작지만, 작아서 더욱 편안함과 안정감을 느낄 수 있었던 것 같고 외국인들이 많이와서 외국에 와있는 기분도 들었습니다. 비록 일찍 체크아웃을 해서 외국 분들과 얘기는 나누지 못했지만 다음에는 꼭 외국 분들과도 대화해보고 싶네요.

Wonderful find

We had an excellent time at Inside Busan. It's a little architectural gem, just a year old, tucked away in a little lane behind Busan's colourful Chinatown--which is at least half Russian. It's very close to the subway, the train station and the airport bus, and we walked to the Jagalchi fish market and sights around. The private ensuite was small but cozy, and the shared facilities are very nicely designed and comfy. The host Jiyeon has traveled extensively, so knows what travellers need. She was a delight to chat with. Breakfast is DIY with eggs, fruit, tea, coffee and toast. I'd give it my highest recommendation.

オーナーの人柄がいい

共有スペースでオーナーと話す時間がよろし。親切だし、いろいろと情報が入手できます。 基本、英語と韓国語しかできなさそうです。日本語は不可だけどGoogleの翻訳でなんとか 部屋も清潔、いくつかの棟に分散されていて外から直接部屋にアクセスできます。セキュリティもあり。 騒いだらオーナーが隣りの棟に住んでいるので、と念をおされた。 少し高いだろうけど、ひとり部屋に泊まってみたい。

Feels like home

We only managed to stay here for one night since it was booked out for the rest of our stay. We fell in love immediately, beautiful setup, so clever and neat, rooms are just right and the property also includes a super cute little outside garden area. The owner is the sweetest host and so so helpful! Wish we could have stayed longer, it immediately felt like home. Breakfast was just what we needed to!
