Kimchee Haeundae Guesthouse

Near the haeundae beach

The location is unbeatable. Walking distance from the beach and other attractions, and right near subway & bus stops.

- Bathroom was moldy and the showerhead wasn’t attached properly and sprayed everywhere. Also sharing one bathroom with 4 people was very inconvenient. - Three people moved in around 1am while I was there despite check-in being supposed to end at 9pm, including a man even though I booked a women’s only dorm (he did leave after we told him it was women only but I have no idea why he came; he had the code so either he got it from someone else or the staff assigned him to the room and didn’t check properly) - Staff left the rooms wide open during cleaning times, so anyone could have wandered in off the street. Clearly don’t care about security which makes sense given they’re volunteers - Wifi barely worked. Connecting to a different room’s wifi was actually more reliable than my room’s - No privacy curtains in the beds, plus the room was very small (clearly used to be an individual hotel room and would already be small for that) so I actually ended up leaving early because it felt so cramped and uncomfortable even though I’m used to staying in hostel dorms

The room was very different from the photos online. The pictures showed a bright and fresh space, but in reality the walls had stains, water marks, and looked quite dirty, giving the room an old and depressing vibe. On top of that, the bathroom basin pipe was leaking, which really fed me up at the start. I had to complain twice before they finally fixed it, and at first they weren’t even ready to help.

It’s well located and the staff was nice!

The heater wasn’t working properly, which made the room super cold (in the middle of december)
