Guest Reviews

• Vladimir (7/5): -
• Nahianna (6/5): -
• Yeo (5/5): 还可以 - 地理位置不错，只是回去酒店时要一直上下坡，不建议有老人小孩不方便。 房间的床单是让我们最不舒服的，感觉上好像没换过那样，床单看上去很多灰尘和头发、白水印让我们觉得很卫生，其它都还可以
• Lingling (10/5): -
• Mary (9/5): -
• Jana (8/5): -
• fethi mahmut (6/5): Konum olarak kalınabilir 4 kişilik grup için zor - Tesisin konumu güzeldi merkeze metroya otobüs duraklarına yakındı Asansörün olmaması ama bavullar için küçük asansör vardı yeterliydi.Odalar gerçekten küçük banyoda duş almak zordu odamız 4 kişi için zorlansakta yeterliydi ama çok temiz değildi odalar
• Marmotte67 (6/5): - Très bien situé pour faire les visites , le métro est proche Très mal insonorisé Propreté limite
• Sebastian (10/5): -
• Margarita (7/5): -
• Thaïs (10/5): Super séjour - L’emplacement de l’hostel est super. Proche de convenient store, et du marché de myeongdong. Hostel calme et très propre. La chambre individuelle avec salle de bain est suffisante Petit bémol, la douche dans les toilettes très très petite. Mais ça va pour peux de temps
• Vladimir Stojković (7/5): -
• Gregory (7/5): Nice, affordable, bare necessities. - Affordable, great location. Unmanned property, be sure to read your emails carefully before check in.
• Ruel (8/5): - It's very near to the train station and other tourist locations like namsan tower, myeongdong and namdaemun markets. The room space is somewhat small for 3 pax. The bathroom is too small and the door won't close. Need to fix it.
• RomelTeodoro (1/5): An ithcy feeling... - Nothing to like inside the hostel. Nobody there to greet after 730pm on a Monday. Whereas at OYO6 Myeongdong just down the hill, they had people on reception until 10pm. That's why I couldn't really rate people. 1. Nobody to greet you after 7pm. 2. The bed sheets were not pressed and crisped. Felt like someone just slept in it. 3. The pillow cases were the same as the bed sheets and they smelled like someone's hair. 4. The towels were awfully old and worn out. 5. Room was even smaller than the one we had at OYO 6, but it was really bright and clean and was cleaned everyday for free. However, this one felt like a sleazy old motel room and you have to fork out extra to get it cleaned and sheets changed. 6. The Shower/Toilet was really tiny. The photo actually exaggerated the size of it by making it look big. 7. In my opinion, bed did not have white sheets on to mask the cleanliness of it. 8. We just felt itchy in general after sitting on the bed and so, we decided to cope the payment we made and transfer to another place. This hostel was our 4th place to rent in our 3-week visit to Korea (Seoul-Gyeongju-Busan-Incheon). All the other places were superb, clean, and smells really nice with really great, helpful people to greet you when you arrived.

• Chengpin (7/5): 住家庭四人房，地點不錯，房間不大，不是高檔飯店就沒什麼好要求的，但浴室太小洗澡完整間浴室幾乎全濕 - 地點離明洞站近 浴室太小
• Thi Mai Phuong (8/5): -
• banu ikbal (3/5): - Aşırı küçüktü ve küçük bi tuvalet vardı 1 tane duş başlığı koymuşlardı aşırı küçüktü merkeze yakın olduğu için mecburiyetten kaldık

• OLEG (3/5): - The location Very small shabby room, the leak from the faucet.Seems that had never been done the cleaning beneath the bed,it's extremely dirty over there.
• Patrick Angelo (9/5): -
• A KIELY (6/5): -
• Fatima (10/5): -
• Natasha (5/5): Good location. Uncomfortable rooms - It is a good location - around a 5 minute walk from Myeongdong night market and tube station. Nice kitchen facilities with free tea and coffee. The beds (mattress and pillow) were very uncomfortable and if I’m honest did not feel clean. I don’t trust they were washed before our stay. Only one pillow and it was extremely flat, so felt as flat as if we’d lay flat on the mattress which added to the discomfort. Walls are very thin too so can hear noise from neighbouring rooms.

• Mireille (7/5): -
• Subbiah Murugesan (5/5): -
• Taylor (4/5): Disappointed - Location was good. I believe the family that runs it lives there. They would watch tv in the kitchen area which made it feel uncomfortable not the hostel vibes I expected. The rooms were dirty. The walls were so gross and the bed felt like sleeping on a brick. Wouldn't recommend unless if you have too last min like I did.
• Caren (8/5): -
• Romane (7/5): -
• Joseph (8/5): -
• Marco (7/5): Ok für ein paar Tage - Nahe im Zentrum War eher ein kleines Zimmer, mit einem kleinen Bad. Das Personal hat man kaum gesehen.
• Błazej (8/5): -
• Amélie (7/5): - Nice location although very busy.
• Victor (8/5): - Easy access to Seoul tower, parks and many food spots No elevator but it was fine did lots of exercise. Water was hard to set right temperature either to hot or cold
• Bibiana (8/5): -
• Andrew (9/5): - fantastic location, thought staying in a hostel would be noisy, but had perfect sleep, staff were helpful the shower was a little awkward, but other than that, pretty good
• Nathalie Ngoc-Lieu (9/5): C’est très bien pour la geocalisation et son prix est correct - Serviettes / parapluie/ chauffage portable/ papier toilette et eaux filtrées à disposition permanente. Très proche des boutiques et restaurants à gogo Monter la petite pente pour arriver à l’hôtel Chambre petite pas bien isolé Le lit à côté de la fenêtre avec un léger courant d’air froid😜
• Akbar (10/5): Would surely recommend anyone visiting Seoul and wants to stay at the center of Myeongdong in Seoul - Location and facilities were perfect Though room was small but it has all the amenities
• Sushil (1/5): -
• Jessica (7/5): - L'emplacement est vraiment idéal, le café à disposition est un plus et le self service des services est agréable. La chambre était vraiment minimaliste au sous sol et pas de lumière du jour. Il n'y a pas de vraie douche, on se douche sur les toilettes. Pour 1 ou 2 nuits ca peut le faire, mais pas beaucoup de confort
• Ante (6/5): -
• Amy (7/5): - Location was amazing! Couldn't fault it that side. The staff were lovely when they were around. It was clean too The room was small, which we knew already but the bathroom was exceptionally small. The bed was also quite hard and the place could do with a refresh on the interior (wallpaper peeling etc)
• Mejia (9/5): -
• Mathilde (6/5): - L'emplacement était super et la terrasse rooftop avec vue sur la N Soul Tower très belle. La chambre très humide, aucun rangement. La douche sur les toilettes avec aucune place, la douche qui passe du chaud au froid et des prises électriques non protégées dans la douche.
• Duc (8/5): Tuyệt vời - Rất gần các điểm du lịch và mua sắm chính của Seoul Hơi bí và có mùi hôi từ cống bốc lên
• Tara (10/5): -
• Rago (7/5): -
• Zhayrah (10/5): Great stay, very comfortable. - Its near the tourist spots The towels are too small
• Janjira (9/5): -
• Natasja (2/5): - Locatie was super, vlakbij Myeongdong metro en drukke gebieden. Genoeg te zien in omgeving. Locatie en de vriendelijkheid bij ontvangst waren helaas de enige positieve aspecten. De kamer was veel kleiner dan de geadverteerde 15 m2, je kunt je tassen er niet kwijt. Hiernaar gevraagd maar volgens gastheer was het standaard deze grootte bij alle kamers. Veel schimmel in de kamer (op de muren, bij de airco, plafond douche, douche gordijn etc). Gordijnen niet verduisterend. Vreemde muffe lucht in de kamer. Toiletruimte wordt volledig nat bij douchen, na douchen kun je toilet etc niet meer gebruiken. Veel te hoge prijs (160 euro voor 3 nachten) voor wat je krijgt. (3 nachten voor 100 euro zou ik nog overwegen/is veel passender). Minimumeis van verblijf 3 nachten helaas. We hadden graag eerder weggegaan als het had gekund.
• Don Keith (7/5): Great stay! - Location is few minutes walk to Myeongdong night market, there are convenience stores like 7/11, GS25 etc… around, great view of Seoul Tower at the rooftop. Reasonable price also. If you want to save and be at the center of everything Olive Hostel is a good choice. Location is slightly uphill but manageable. Probably the comforter and bedsheets. Small is quite small but again for it’s price, it is highly acceptable.
• Ulises Mata (7/5): - The location is perfect, 5 min from metro station and myeongdong night market Some towels were torn
• Paula (8/5): - Cerca del metro, tranquilo el lugar Son un poco pequeñas las habitaciones, algunas con olor a antiguo, me he quedado antes no todas son iguales.
• Laura (8/5): Conveniently-located hostel - Nice rooftop terrace and very convenient location. Room was basic but if you don't plan on spending much time in it then it is perfect. Bathroom was a wet-room setup with not much space, but it did the job!
• Zahra (10/5): This location gave me the opportunity to keep going to the shop and come back and drop off my shopping as well as go to - The hostel is located in the middle of Myeongdong, which is seven minute walk from the station exit 3, close to all the shopping and food as well as attraction, staff was also very helpful. Provided all the information you need. Everything was on point and stuff was helpful if things was not working people were there to help. However, there’s no lift so for those who have not got used to taking stairs. Please be prepared for that, but they do have a lift for the luggage that can go up to your floor.

• Amanda (8/5): Very good - Near subway and Mingtone, its easy for shopping The bathroom to small
• José (6/5): We did an Asian trip with my friend and stay 4 days in Seoul. The accomodation is not the most comfortable but was close - Close from Myeongdong Main Street Super small room
