Popcorn Hostel

Hostel is clean, but the room me & my friends were staying at Room No. 3, the bidet is not working. Towel for shower is too small, can't even cover our body. After wiping water from the shower, it's too wet cos it is small. These are only 2 setbacks that needs to improve. Otherwise it is a nice hostel. Wifi is good and so is the air-cond.

I requested a quiet room, but they put me in the loudest one—right next to the stairs on the 10th floor, directly above a nightclub/karaoke bar on the 9th floor. BE AWARE: the noise is extreme. People are singing at the top of their lungs, and the deep bass and pounding beats make it impossible to fall asleep. On top of that, the shower was terrible. I waited at least 30 minutes for lukewarm water, and the water pressure was extremely low. The manager was kind and tried to help, but unfortunately, the two basic needs of any traveler—being able to shower and sleep—were just not met here. **The manager charged me 10K won for one 30 min laundry wash (without drying) and I found out later nearby there’s a laundry shop where it only charges 4.4K per wash. I also researched that even Tokyo Inn Busan charges 2K won per 40 min wash. It’s insane that he asking for that price and fooling the tourist who doesn’t know much about the standard market price. Overall, strongly suggest everyone avoid this place.

The place is awesome place for every visitor who wants to enjoy great view of Haeundae beach. If you have time a bit more, I strongly advice to get Busan tour buses. This place will be starting point of unforgettable moments and experiences. I cannot write with only words on friendly environment there. So guys, try yourself.
