Hoho House

Being about 10 minutes from a metro station was convenient, but the bathroom had no ventilation, and the room became very humid. I think that created a good environment for mites. I first thought my allergic reaction was from detergent, but I ended up in the hospital and the doctor said it was mites. I had to switch hotels right away and was prescribed very strong antibiotics. Half of my 13 days in Busan went to the ER, and I had to pay for two hotels.

We liked everything here. The room was clean and quiet, the shower was good, and there was free water. The location worked well for us, and contactless check-in was easy. Great room for the price.

There are good restaurants and a shopping mall nearby, and public transport to the airport takes about 45 minutes. The room is very small, though, with barely any storage for a stay of several nights. There’s a microwave and some room in the hallway fridge, but nowhere to sit and eat.

The room is compact but neat, and it seems the hostel was renovated recently. Everything felt fresh and very clean. I missed having a closet and a chair, but for two or three nights it was fine. Towels, toothbrushes, shampoo, everything smelled lovely. The street has antique shops and was quiet, with a supermarket and bus stop close by. I’d recommend it for a short stay.
