Couteous ad helpful staff. Clean rooms and washrooms. Walking distance to Myeongdong shopping district
Was a cold night and the walls were cold in the room, the space was not enough in the bed for two people and when you touched the wall you feel the cold, also the water in the toiled keep running all the time. Location and service was excellent

Room was really small for a quad. Location was really convenient though with just minutes walk to the main Myeongdong area and station.
In a nice area! Staff is friendly and helped us with the air conditioning as we couldn’t figure it out. Really close to the main shopping street and many food options nearby. Would definitely recommend :)
Besides being on a hill (for luggage hauling purposes) the property was great, small, perfect for a solo traveler, it was surrounded by coffee shops, shopping central- till your heart is content. They offer laundry service and fully dry your clothes! Thank you guys at the front desk!! Pic is of a scale they have at the desk!!
A nice and reasonable place to stay, if you don't mind making your own breakfast and washing up. Only negative is the walls between rooms are a bit thin.

The facility is old but with updated renovations. Location is perfect, convenient to subway and bus, with good restaurants. We had a situation with the toilet that couldn’t flush, but the staff are very nice giving us a new room.
We stayed at OYO5 as our hub and traveled to other spots always coming back to regroup, shower, rest and head back to the next place. This location is perfect being close to the train station, endless food and tucked just far enough in to have peace. My only complaint would be hearing other guests come and go with their suitcases at all hours of the night. Although it was one of the rules to be quite during certain hours, I would just ask that more emphasis around respecting quite time being honored. Travel already puts strain and stress on the body and even a few hours of safe sleep is huge. Otherwise this is a great spot to have a place to crash. Keep in mind this is a humid island like country and you will get that moldy sewer smell anywhere you stay if the place is locked up too long. We were always up too early to enjoy the complimentary breakfast but it was the perfect location and the staff were very friendly.

the television didn't work properly and the bed rocked.
This a hostel not a hotel. But overall Im extremely satisfied location wise excellent as it is very accessible to all tourists needs and near metro station and airport bus. Staff were so accommodating and polite.
There was a strong unpleasant smell in the bathroom and the soundproofing is nonexistent. Also, if you ask them for a taxi, the only option is a pricier larger taxi and the driver's card reader is "out of battery" - probably so that he could avoid paying taxes by taking cash payment. Also, the outdoor photos are taken in a flattering way. Not false, but flattering.
The laundry service worked well and the staff had good availability. The location is good if you want to stay in Myeongdong. The cable car to Namsan is right up the hill and recommended. The kbbq place nearby was ridiculously overpriced compared to restaurants elsewhere in Seoul. I would personally recommend staying in Bukchon (better vibes neaeby) or Seoul Station (for connectivity) instead.
Otherwise, everything is as expected for this type of accommodation.
