Kimchee Guesthouse Haeundae - Hostel

All staff was helpful! Location Great! Bathroom inside form room! Thicker mattresses. Bunk bed not so low to the ground

Near the haeundae beach

The location is unbeatable. Walking distance from the beach and other attractions, and right near subway & bus stops. - Bathroom was moldy and the showerhead wasn’t attached properly and sprayed everywhere. Also sharing one bathroom with 4 people was very inconvenient. - Three people moved in around 1am while I was there despite check-in being supposed to end at 9pm, including a man even though I booked a women’s only dorm (he did leave after we told him it was women only but I have no idea why he came; he had the code so either he got it from someone else or the staff assigned him to the room and didn’t check properly) - Staff left the rooms wide open during cleaning times, so anyone could have wandered in off the street. Clearly don’t care about security which makes sense given they’re volunteers - Wifi barely worked. Connecting to a different room’s wifi was actually more reliable than my room’s - No privacy curtains in the beds, plus the room was very small (clearly used to be an individual hotel room and would already be small for that) so I actually ended up leaving early because it felt so cramped and uncomfortable even though I’m used to staying in hostel dorms

It’s well located and the staff was nice! The heater wasn’t working properly, which made the room super cold (in the middle of december)

Location was good Very dirty. Room was not cleaned before checking in. Trash was still there and bedding was not ready. The bed sheet was disgusting and made my skin itch.

Location was ok Disgustingly dirty. Mold in shower. Communal kitchen was a mess. I reported the place to health authors they cited the property for health code problems.

The location was extraordinary, really close to the Haeundae beach and the subway station. We also could leave our bags at a designated area before checkin and after checkout, a major plus in my opinion. The cleanliness could be better. Maybe it was just my experience, but my skin was reacting to either the water or something in the air

The location was great — just a short walk to the beach, Haeundae train station, bus stops, and convenience stores. The

The room was not the cleanest. There were a few VERY suspicious stains on the bedding. It also had carpets, and we had a bad reaction to the dust in them. We were itching the entire night. An object rolled under the bed, and when I had to move the bed to get it, it was obvious the carpet hadn't been vacuumed in a while.

The location was very convenient and the check in process after hours was automatic.

None.

Location fantastic. Cheap Dirty, shower falling off wall, toilet seat loose, wiring looked dodgy, strips falling off stair edges, looks dark and dingy- but cheap.

Noisy.

It's close to the beach The room appears to have black mold all over it. Also, it's not very quiet and you can hear people doing things...

Great hostel, guests and staff were friendly. Room is clean. Close to the beach. Close to food and shopping. Need cash to do laundry.

Affordable, great people, the bedrooms are quiet and the common areas have a good amount of people to talk to and hang out, including other travelers and staff. Great kitchen, it’s well stocked with cooking utensils, dishes and has a microwave, refrigerator and small oven. Overall a great hostel, very close to the beach and a short easy walk to the Haeundae shopping street. Nothing bad to say.

Proximity to haeundae beach, close to the aquarium, close to plenty of shopping, restaurants and metro stations. Rooms are cleaned often and bathrooms and showers were sparkly clean. Some mosquitos in the common area but the property has bug zappers that help with this. To be fair it can be hard to combat the insects the time of year I was there. Not really an issue for me. But could be for some.

Decent hostel. Beds were comfy and the showers were adequate. Sociable in the downstairs, common room area. Close to the beach and many shops around. Staff were friendly

Location First of all, it doesn't look as clean as in the photos. The common room probably hasn't been painted in years, or I don't know what happened there - but it's dark and dreary. The staff working there are volunteers, and this is not a problem for me. ? Unfortunately, they do not know how to behave? I understand that there are different hygiene standards in the United States, but to keep their feet in shoes on the table or seats? So disgusting! These young volunteers do not behave like employees but like a group of party people. During my stay there it seemed as if they took over the place, dominated. I saw several customers there who wanted to take a rest after a day of traveling, have conditions to eat and plan the next trip, but... there was such noise of loud conversations, shouting...

Only the location The photos don't really show the actual rooms
