About
Guesthouse Dear Moon
Guesthouse Dear Moon is a two-star budget stay on the third floor of a building in Nampo-dong, within walking distance of Busan's famous Jagalchi fish market and the lively Gukje Market. The guesthouse keeps things simple but practical, with a shared kitchen, a common lounge, and a garden terrace that guests often mention as a highlight. There's no on-site parking, and check-in is strictly between 3 PM and 10 PM.
Both dormitory options — one female-only and one mixed — offer a single bed in an eight-bed room. Each bed comes with a reading light and a personal locker, and the room has air conditioning and heating. Guests consistently rate the value high, and the location scores well for exploring the Jung-gu district's markets, street food stalls, and nearby subway station.

Worth weighing
4 to weigh- No on-site parking — Parking isn't offered, so guests arriving by car need to find public parking nearby.
- Strict check-in window — Check-in is only between 3 PM and 10 PM, which may be inconvenient for late arrivals.
- Communal living, not a private hideaway — Both room types are 8-bed dorms, so there's no private room option.
- Third-floor walk-up — The guesthouse sits on the 3rd floor with no mention of a lift, which could be a challenge with heavy luggage.
