Great hostel in a convenient location during my 1 week stay in a non-shared single room. - The staff were very friendly and approachable. - Check-in process was very smooth and easy. - Off-hour instructions were clear for entry. - The rooms were clean and comfortable. - They offer a simple breakfast every day between 8-11am! - Option to leave your luggage after check-out to do some last-minute exploring before your flight back home! Definitely recommend!

my stay at oyo was the best, coming from a traveler that usually stays in hostels this was the best hostel I have ever stayed at. I felt very at home and secure at this establishment. My group and I were super satisfied with our room and the space wasn’t as small as I expected.. expected it to be much smaller but it was just right for the three of us. we loved our stay so much we had to rebook this stay for our last couple of days left in seoul due to how close everything was near the bus stations, restaurants, the cu store and how welcoming the staff is . the front desk lady was such a sweet heart always greeting us when we entered and exited. Thank you so much for your welcoming hospitality! We would love to come back and rebook this stay.

The staff were very friendly and spoke very good English. They were also very informative and always ready to help. The breakfast was very good. Nothing fancy, but a broad array of toast, cereal, juices, milk, coffee, and other stuff.

Clean and cozy place. Helpful, warm, and welcoming staff (I really should've asked for her name she's very nice 😩). Quiet area, with convenience store and eateries around. <5 min walk to a bus stop and about 5 min to the metro station (Jongno 5-ga). If you're coming during winter, floor heating & water heater works well - my shower water is sizzling hot on max heat setting. Only thing is there's no elevator, only stairs. So if you have mobility challenges, may need to chat with them first to see how they could accommodate. Other than that, can't recommend this place enough 💗 Will stay here again if I come back to Seoul!

Very affordable. Very close to Jongno 5 ga subway station. Walking distance to Hyundai City outlet Store. With convi stores nearby. The only problem is that we stayed on the 5th floor and if you have heavy luggages they don’t have an elevator. They offer free coffee all day. Breakfast is free.

Upon arrival the staff welcomed us with a local snack. We arrived a couple hours early and they were accommodating and we were able to get to the room super fast. We had two rooms, one on the 2nd and one on the 5th. Despite the walk up, I really enjoyed our 5th floor room. We were only there for one night but it was more accommodating than other places we have been. They even held our luggage after checkout and give us a goodbye treat!

6/10 Good

Its in a convenient area due to its proximity to dongdaemun market, insadong, ikseongdong, and cheonggyecheon stream. However, the area around the hostel is quite creepy at night. While korea is generally safe, I felt more uneasy in this area. Otherwise the hostel itself was clean, breakfast was decent and the rooftop is super cute. I stayed in a private room, which had a nice large bathroom, big bed and the AC worked well. However, there wasnt a lot of floor space for my luggages or anywhere else to store my things to organize myself during my stay. Also, the lack of an elevator was quite exhausting being up on the 4th floor, dragging my heavy luggage. Staff were very kind and helpful in getting my luggage up the stairs though!

スタッフが皆さんとても感じよかったです！ 予約時にウェルカムギフト付きと書いてあったのですが、チェックインのときにお菓子が貰えました。 ホテルの近くには恵化まで行くバス停があり、大学路にミュージカルを観に行くには大変交通の便がよかったです。 お部屋は清潔で、スーツケースを広げられるだけの広さがありました。 バスルームについては、トイレとシャワーがいい感じで離れており、トイレが濡れることはありませんでした。 ただ1つ、シャワーの水圧が弱かった…！ でも居心地がよかったので次回の渡韓で空いてたらリピします。

清潔でコスパが良かった

立地や金額から清潔度が心配でしたが全く問題なかったです。部屋も水周りも掃除が行き届いていてとても綺麗でした。シャワーの水圧や温度も問題なかったです。 個人的には不満はないですが、改善点をあげるとすれば、テレビやエアコンの操作方法が韓国語しかなかったことくらいかなと思います。
