more like staying over in a friend's apartment than a hostel, we loved this place. to find it on your own would be nearly impossible, but june was happy to come down and collect us from the subway exit, and even recommended a few choice eateries on the way back. incredibly clean, very comfortable. and the view of busan from the 29th floor is incredible!

Very clean, June is expecially good. It is quite a walk from the Subway, but was good to see a little of Pusan on the way. Well organized and June knows the area and Korea very well!

This was one of the best places I have stayed at! It felt like staying at a friend`s house....but so much nicer! Also, the host, June Park, was very friendly and helpful! You don`t really need a guidebook or anything because he can recommend all the great places and even tells you how to get there! When I go back to Pusan, I am definitely staying here!!!

Really liked staying here and only wish that I had been able to spend more time in Busan. It might be a bit tricky finding the place on your own but once you know how there's plenty of places to eat and hang out just on the way from the subway to the hostel.

I really enjoyed my stay at Zen Backpackers and highly recommend it! June is an extraordinary nice guy and his advice what to do in Busan was more than helpful. The rooms were very clean and breakfast, laundry as well as internet was provided for free - excellent service!!! Additionally, the view from the rooftop (35th level!) of the building is amazing especially by night!!!

A really nice apartment located in the 29th floor of a brand new block of apartments. Easy to find and located in the city center. June will give you a general review of Busan and help you in whatever you need. Worth it visiting a sauna.
