Reviews of Sam Won Jang

15 April 2012

Liked: The manager was really helpful, giving us instructions for public transport and helping us find bus timings, prices etc. Amenities provided were equivalent to that of a hotel.

Disliked: It's actually a motel, not a hostel. Poorly-lit and slightly creepy at night.

07 October 2011 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The manager is very helpful and friendly. I love the location, it's near the subway and a stop of the airport limousine, and just across BIFF where you can shop, shop, and shop :)

Disliked: The bathroom is a bit small and the stuff on the dresser, i.e., brushes, gels, powders, lotions were unnecessary.

Liked: great location right in the city center (follow the map and description - turn left right where the Paris Baguette bakery is, it is on that alley!), owner was very friendly, fun and helpful. Amazing en-suite room with all facilities you can think of, clean and great value. Free coffee/tea, books, magazines, wifi/computers etc!

Disliked: The place felt very safe, but it is a bit odd that the door is open 24/7 and key are not being watched all the time - in theory, anybody could come in and get into your room while you're gone. That said, South Korea is a very safe country where most people leave their front doors unlocked all the time, so this is mostly 'Western paranoia'.

Liked: We had an amazing room with ensuite, TV, hairdryer and phone. It was quite and the owner is a really lovely guy. Very good value for money.

Liked: Good place to stay - near famous fish markets. Clean and Comfortable sized room for 2. We reduced our booking from 4 nights to 2 nights without any problems on arrival.

Disliked: A little hard to find due to its location in a small alley but the locals will help you out if you get lost :) Owner doesn't speak much English - not too friendly but not horrible either.

03 August 2009 Peter would recommend this property

Liked: I think that the hostel was one of the cleanest I have ever been in in Asia. It is a bit hard to find for the unseasoned backpacker, but it's location is amazing, with direct access to shopping, public transportation and tourist attractions. I will surely stay their again next time I'm in Busan.

11 May 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: En-suite room - VERY comfortable, underfloor heating, fridge with free drinks, TV, big bathroom. Huge, comfortable bed with electric blanket - cosy!Location was good but quite hard to find with the directions given on the site. The police station referred to is very small and looks abandoned...not easy to spot. Hostel is only 2 mins from subway and across the street from a main shopping area.
