Blueboat Hostel Haeundae

1) Reception / owner was so lovely! Even though she could not speak English, she did her best to help me via Google Translate. 2) The hostel was so clean and tidy! They really put so much effort and care into maintaining cleanliness and even the decorations and furniture were thoughtfully chosen to ensure a cozy and vibey atmosphere. 3) They even give you boxes to put your shower clothes, towels, hair dryers, slippers etc. All these small things mean a lot especially in a hostel. 4) Quiet and safe location. Even though it was located at the mouth of an alley and felt a bit sus at first, I still felt very safe, especially as a female solo traveller.

I am used to stay at hostels when I travel by myself on a budget and this hostel was THE BEST I stayed in !! I booked a bed in a 6 beds female dorm and I was on the 3rd floor which is reserved for WOMEN ONLY !!! It's a really good point for me !!! The room was really tiny though and I was not expecting that from the pictures I saw (No room for your luggages if you have a lot but you have storage under the beds). The bathroom is really clean (of course less clean at the end of the day) and you feel like you are at the SPA !! The atmosphere is really cosy, chill and peaceful. You can not walk with your shoes (which is a good point for me), you have sleepers at your disposition and you have to where them in the common space areas ! You have locker, a key card to access your room, you have a water disposal available to fill up your water bottle (it's important for me because I drink a LOT) The location was PERFECT !! Nearby the main beach, 5 min walk from the subway station where you have access to the most important locations. Everything is walkable. You have a nice scenic road along the sea you can run or walk !! It's really peaceful, nature and good to get some exercise.

Very clean and staff is very helpful and nice. The room is larger than expected. Enough to put my luggage. Very quiet at night. There seems to be free coffee and tea bags in the morning, but I didn’t use because my schedule is tight. Location is convenient, just a few min walk from the Main Street or the subway station. There is a restaurant selling delicious beef rice soup nearby.

Super friendly staff that gives out travel advice, clean bedrooms and shower rooms - the environment was really comfy and it almost felt like home when returning to the hostel after a long day. Ppl in the hostel were respectful and quiet at night, which sometimes made it hard to start conversations in the lobby, but I was still able to make some new friends there!

The staff is the best. The place looks amazing and clean. The bed is confortable, it has proper curtains for your own privacy and to prevent daylight to go through. You've got a towel and slippers as well as soap, shampoo, toothpaste, q-tips... You have a free water refill, a kitchen and a foot/calves passage machine.
