17 handpicked hostels in Busan, sorted by traveler rating.
South Korea's second-largest city spreads along a working port and four very different hostel neighborhoods. Haeundae Beach draws the beach crowd, with dorms a short walk from the sand and from Haeundae Station on Line 2. Seomyeon, where Line 1 and Line 2 cross, is the nightlife and shopping hub, dense with hostels within a ten-minute walk of the station. Gwangalli Beach sits quieter, facing the lit-up Gwangan Bridge at night. Near Busan Station, hostels cluster around Busan China Town and Gukje Market, useful for early trains or ferries. Gimhae International Airport is a bus ride from all four, so the neighborhood choice matters more than the airport distance.
