Busan SUM guesthouse was a great place to stay and explore busan! It is conveniently located near subway and the shopping streets at nanpodong, busan gukje market and jagalchi market. The staff provided seamless services and we were especially impressed with the well-equipped powder room and nice breakfast!

SUM Hostel Nampo exceeds my expectations. The hostel owner is very friendly and helpful. He helped me to book my bus from Busan to Incheon when I couldn't navigate the Korean website. The bed and toilet are clean. It's like a mini-hotel except that you have to share toilets and room. Well worth the money paid.

As a woman traveling alone, one of the nicest things about SUM house was how very safe it felt. You need a key to get into the building after a certain hour and a key to get into rooms at all times. It was very quiet, you'd never imagine you were in the heart of the big shopping area of Busan. The staff were very helpful. I stay in an 8-person and a 4-person and the latter is better, the bathrooms were nicer. As for the bathrooms, the shampoo/conditioner dispensers fell off easily. Change that.

really nice place and decor! heater was working very well, lockers were large, beds were comfy and toilets had running hot water - everything needed for a cold winter. would have been even better with a heater in the toilet though! =)

This is the best hostel so far as compared to other hostels in most of the visited Asian countries that I have been. I wish to spell out every single good thing about the hostel, but it will take ages for me to do so. The room is superb, with its own bathroom. Breakfast was superb with exquisite lounge area. Most of the workers are so friendly. And of course, the best location ever, at Nampo dong. Plenty of good food to chew and shopping spree moment. I will definitely come back to this place.
