이코노미 해운대 게스트하우스 is located just a couple minutes’ walk from Exit 5 of Haeundae Subway Station (Busan Line 2) and 500 metres from the popular Haeundae Beach. This minimalist guesthouse is decorated in black and white offers cosy private rooms and free WiFi in all areas. Complimentary breakfast is available between 08:00 and 10:00.

I only stayed for one night but it was perfect, and I wished I stayed longer. Clean, comfortable, friendly helpful staff, good shower, shared kitchen, just down the road from the beach. They call themselves an Ekonomy hotel, but the only cheap thing about the place is the price. Everything else is as good as more expensive hotels, and I am kicking myself that I wasted money on those instead of staying here.

Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    It's a very classic hostel as you imagine it. Shared rooms or your own room with bunk beds, shared bathrooms and showers. The kitchen seemed very nice, and during daytime there was always someone active there so it's nice to meet people. The location is great, it's very convenient to reach pretty much all areas in Busan. Especially if you keep the price in mind, it's a great place

    Great location close to Busan station. The hostel was really clean in all areas. Delicious coffee for the barista machine in the common area. The balcony was nice and the upstairs lounge area was a cute vibe. My room had underfloor heating which I didn’t need but I can imagine in winter this would be amazing. The host was incredibly helpful and gave me a late checkout before my afternoon bullet train to Seoul.

    The gentleman who runs the hostel is very friendly and helpful. Location is great, but it is right next to a produce market so lots of foot traffic, but I felt quite safe. Great value for money given the location. I stayed in a private room and it was big and comfortable.

    Cheap stay, all there that you need (kitchen, toilet). Feels a bit like budget hotel, it actually is a budget hotel… but for that price a very good value. We didn’t try their breakfast, some options nearby (Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks). Free laundry room! Staff was friendly and helpful. Convenient location in the city

    This was the best hostel experience I’ve had so far. The staff are really friendly, it’s in a great location, the atmosphere is great, you get to meet people, the beds are pretty spacious, you get a big locker inside the bed area, another locked under the bed that fit my small suitcase, and another locker in the common area for your shoes. Overall, would recommend!

    One of the best hostels I stayed at in Korea! It has everything a backpacker needs: clean showers and toilets, a properly equipped kitchen and an amazing host (who speaks good English). You can even use some gaming consoles The dorm is clean and spacious with lockers provided The host was very helpful with every question I had and we even had dinner together. It is right outside of the train station with access to many busses and the metro. Several restaurants and convenient shops around the building.
