Backpackers In Yeosu - Hostel
📍 Yeosu · ★ 4.5 (124 reviews)
A hostel tucked into a back lane in downtown Yeosu, and reviews often react that it is far better equipped than the name led them to expect. It is run by the owner's family, so it is the kind of place where the people and the shared spaces stay with you more than the rooms.
Solo travelers and families with children stay side by side. If you like, you can chat with other travelers at the pub across the street, or simply sleep and head out quietly, and reviews give that sense of distance high marks.

Free breakfast
A simple free breakfast of sliced bread, eggs, milk, and juice is served, and you wash your own dishes afterward.
-

Noise between floors

Firm bed
A few reviews say the bed was hard or the bedding was so-so.
-
Compact rooms
One review says the double room was not that big and felt slightly cramped (adding that it was not uncomfortable enough to matter).

Explore the property
The layout varies quite a bit from room to room. There are rooms with bunk beds, ondol rooms where you sleep on a floor mattress, and rooms with a bathtub. Reviews from foreign guests also note the clever use of a small space, and the simple setup is repeatedly called easier to use for it.
Every room has its own bathroom. One review says the water pressure was strong and showering was comfortable, and another says shampoo and body wash were provided, so they could pack fewer toiletries. Reviews also say there were plenty of towels.
The shared kitchen is as roomy as a dining hall and well stocked with dishes, so people spread out food they have bought or cook for themselves. Breakfast is a modest spread of sliced bread, eggs, jam, and juice, and cleaning up afterward is on you.
There is a space with a game console and darts, a lounge with computers, and even a room for reading, so it is a good place to pass a rainy day indoors. There is a laundry room and luggage storage, and in the evening people sometimes gather to share food they have brought.
The owner's family is at the counter, and the signature cat, Ppippi, greets guests. One review even says the cat helped them settle into an unfamiliar place quickly.

침대가 두 개여서 4인 가족 잘 이용했고 욕조도 있어 좋았어요 객실 내 티슈가 없고 바닥 먼지가 들어가자마자 보여 살짝 아쉬웠지만 그 외 주방 세탁실 그리고 앞의 펍까지 다 편리하고 주차장도 있어서 또 이용할 용의 있어요
