location is ok: close to an area with a lot of restaurants, not so close from the subway station but that was ok (10 mn). the subway station is connected to line 1 and 2 which is very convenient. Room (private double bed ensuite) was clean and big enough to open our 2 luggages. breakfast is very good but starts at 8 am which was a little late for us. I would recommend the place anyway!

I always stay here in Busan - convenient location between the port and bus station. Staff are always friendly and breakfast is generous.

The hostel is a bit hard to find and only include the most basic things. It is a big hostel thou so you are likely to meet a lot of people.

Laundry isn't free, it was 3000 won - so this needs updating. Staff seemed confused as they moved me into a different room after my first night. Directions to the hostel are good, and it's an okay price by Busan standards.

Located near convenient central transfer stop which is great but that convenience limited by solid 10 min walk from subway. Overall facilities adequate for price; very clean and comprehensive, but little character. Beds slightly uncomfortable. I did not get the free breakfast promised; sign said 8:00-11:00 but at 8:30 there were no signs of life in kitchen. No one manning front desk most times; had to call to summon the (friendly!) manager for checkin and not around at checkout to sell KTX tix.

Sorry to give you uncovenience. Breakfast(toast,coffee,tea,jam,butter,juice,egg etc) is included and is self-service from 08:00-11:00am in the kitchen. A lot of guests get up after 09:00 and it can be quiet in early morning in winter. But it is already served in the kitchen and you can just go up to a kitchen and help yourself. Our staff works from 08:30am but the morning when you check out , we were a little bit late. Sorry for that. If you could tell us what you need when you called, it would be good. Anyway, we are very sorry for you. Thank you.

I got a room number 102, it's very cold at first time we entered the room and also the bathroom too, maybe it's located on first floor and the position directly to the open space in front of the hostel, well I don't know exactly but it's already winter though. In overall, I'm satisfied to stay at Blue Backpackers Hostel in Busan, South Korea. Hope can visit Busan again in near future.

Everyone working here is lovely and helpful. We loved the free breakfasts and help with getting tickets to Seoul. Our room was nice and clean. They even let us borrow an outlet adapter since we forgot one. It was also a great location - close enough to everything and far enough away that it was nice and quiet. We would definitely recommend this place to friends going to Busan!
