Mr. Egg Hostel Original, Haeundae, Busan, South Korea

Date of Stay: 1st-2nd March, 2014.

Busan was a very short stop. Very ironic as our point of entry was through Busan. We spent most of our trip in Seoul instead of Busan. And because of fatigue, we missed a lot of things in Busan (another excuse to visit Busan again! hahahaha).

As before,  we opted for a Twin Private Room. I've realized by then that PRIVATE usually means ENSUITE Bathroom. The twin room originally costed KRW55,000 but they had a promotion where u can get KRW5,000 if u LIKED their facebook page. So, they room only costed KRW50,000 per night for us. No deposit is required. However, do note that they only accept cash for payment.

We checked in around 4pm. This is earlier that our stated check in time when we booked. Apparently if u arrived earlier and the room wasn't ready, u had to wait. Lucky for us, our room was ready. From the web, the building is a 2-storey building but our room is located at the ground floor (phewww no stairs climbing here. u'd understand once ure in SoKor).

Had a quick rest and meal. then off to explore Haeundae.

Facilities:
  • Kitchen (with utensils)
  • Computers (with internet)
  • Fridge 
  • Washing machine (free detergent)
  • Free breakfast (9-10am)

Room (sorry, forgot to take photos but it's exactly as in the web)
  • TV, international adapter
  • Wifi in the room
  • Acond and heated floor
  • Ensuite bathroom with hot shower, shampoo, shower cream, toothpaste
  • Face towel provided.
Mr.Egg provide Postcard service. They also give 1 postcard for free for each room.
Had mine sent and safely arrived :)

Overall, it was a great stay. Facilities, room and the bathroom is squeaky clean and cozy. Room size is also spacious, mainly due to the double-decker type bed. U got a 2.5m x 2m space between the bed and TV to enjoy the heated floor hehehe.

Would definitely recommended to stay.

TIPS:
  • Again, bring a towel.
  • Check their webpage for discounts.
