Hostel Single Single is under a 5-minute walk away from Busan Subway Station (Line 1) and Busan China Town. Hostel Single Single features free WiFi throughout the property.

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

Great location close to Busan station. The hostel was really clean in all areas. Delicious coffee for the barista machine in the common area. The balcony was nice and the upstairs lounge area was a cute vibe. My room had underfloor heating which I didn’t need but I can imagine in winter this would be amazing. The host was incredibly helpful and gave me a late checkout before my afternoon bullet train to Seoul.

At the hostel, rooms have a wardrobe. Featuring a private bathroom with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Anire also boast free WiFi. The rooms at the accommodation have air conditioning and a desk.

Centum City is 6.6 km from Anire, while Shinsegae Centum City is 6.7 km from the property. The nearest airport is Gimhae International Airport, 15 km from the hostel.

Everything was perfect, a place ideal for solo travellers. You don't have any social interactions as there's no staff and you have everything you need in your room. The room is clean and nice. They give you all the necessities like toothpaste, towels and shampoo and also some snacks and eyemask...That is so suprising and nice! I had no issues with the bathroom or anything in the room. Besides, the localization is very good - it is in a rather quite area, near subway station and only one stop away from the city centre. I totally recommend this place!

I've traveled all over the world, and this was one of my favorite places to stay. The staff is amazing. I have never experience people so helpful, and thoughtful. The kind and thoughtful Japanese woman, and I believe, it was the woman owner, they both went above and beyond, I am very thankful to have stayed here. The breakfast was delicious, the room/bathroom was very spacious and clean with all the amenities you could need. Free laundry, and a lovely common area to eat or relax. The bed was comfortable, great water pressure, and great air conditioning. The location is perfect, close to the train station, food and shopping. Thank you for being so kind and helping me when I wasn't feeling well. I highly recommend staying here. I can't wait to return.

Money's worth ! I was allotted a bed in Room 505 . I got the required, comfortable bed and a locker to keep my belongings. Toilets and Shower rooms were on the same floor, so it was convenient. Elevator functioned well. The area near the reception is quite spacious, for working guests and for having food and drinks. The approach to the hostel is good, very convenient.

I met some volunteers from Brazil , very much devoted to their work , nice to talk to and good looking.

이코노미 해운대 게스트하우스 is located just a couple minutes’ walk from Exit 5 of Haeundae Subway Station (Busan Line 2) and 500 metres from the popular Haeundae Beach. This minimalist guesthouse is decorated in black and white offers cosy private rooms and free WiFi in all areas. Complimentary breakfast is available between 08:00 and 10:00.

I only stayed for one night but it was perfect, and I wished I stayed longer. Clean, comfortable, friendly helpful staff, good shower, shared kitchen, just down the road from the beach. They call themselves an Ekonomy hotel, but the only cheap thing about the place is the price. Everything else is as good as more expensive hotels, and I am kicking myself that I wasted money on those instead of staying here.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    This hostel is in a great location for downtown Busan, and I made so many friends here as a solo traveller. Plenty of social space and a good kitchen, but there are so many food places and bars and clubs nearby that you wouldn’t often need to use it!

    It's a very classic hostel as you imagine it. Shared rooms or your own room with bunk beds, shared bathrooms and showers. The kitchen seemed very nice, and during daytime there was always someone active there so it's nice to meet people. The location is great, it's very convenient to reach pretty much all areas in Busan. Especially if you keep the price in mind, it's a great place

    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.
