This hostel is perfect for solo travelers wanting a quiet space to relax! The hostel is well kept and the staff are super friendly and kind and will give you local recommendations. They have breakfast in the morning and the location is pretty central to everything. It takes about 30-45 mins by subway to get to places. This was my first time in Seoul and it’s a great hostel for female travelers. It’s not super social but you can connect with other travelers over apps, etc. Very affordable for budget travelers and good value for location/space. Highly recommended staying here if you’re visiting Seoul.

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.

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!

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!

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!
