Olive Hostel Dongdaemun

"Loved this little hostel, its in dongdaemun which is not as touristic as myeongdong or hongdae, but still has many malls and cute little alleys and so many restaurants around! This hostel is just behind a shopping mall with starbucks next door. Subway is close too, easy to get around everywhere. The room is super small, but for me it was perfect, becaz I did not spend my time there, I left in the morning and came back in the evening to shower and sleep. In the room you have everything you need; comfy bed, shower, tv, aircon, fridge, slippers. Shampoo and hair conditioner felt amazing in my hair! Common areas included little kitchen and terrace."

"The walls are thin, so wear your ear plugs!"

"It's very easy to get to from Incheon airport, either by airport limousine or by train/subway. Very close to the DDP and just a few minutes from Dongdaemun history and culture park subway station exit 8. Anna was extremely helpful and answered very quickly to any inquiries. Although the room was very small, it had everything you need and the space was used nicely and conveniently. Easy check-in and just overall a nice place to stay for a few nights. Very nice that there's a kitchen and a water refill station, a lot of attention has been given to small but meaningful details."

"The only complaint I have is that the budget 1-person room was extremely small, it barely fit me and my luggage. It kind of felt like sleeping in a closet, and the walls are also very thin as you could hear people packing and talking in other rooms."

"Friendly staff offering useful information in seconds via KAKAO TALK or LINE, separate self-laundry area, and perfect location for transportation, shopping and food (one minute to BHC fried chicken restaurant)."

"Each room is equipped with individual air-conditioning, yet the heater doesn’t seem to provide enough warmth during cold winter days (the bed is warm enough with the electric blanket, though.)"

"I booked a double private room. I was expecting it to be small but it had everything I needed. There was one morning when I didn't have hot water and I messaged the host Anna and she sorted it out really quickly. They also changed the boiler that evening. The location was great! Very close to everything and not even a 1 minute walk to the metro station. Anna left a small gift and a card which was extremely thoughtful of her. Will definitely stay again :)"

"The only thing in winter is that it might take a while for the room to heat up but there is a heated mattress that you can turn on which really helps!"

"Thankful that they had a clothes washing and drying facility as well as basic amenities like an iron and an electric kettle."

"They could probably put more street signs showing the way to the place to make it easier to find."

"The wonderful hotel manager Anna! She is very responsive and always helped with any questions. Great location — easy to get to. There is a kitchen with everything you need and access to a rooftop terrace! I highly recommend this hotel."

"Check in was super easy. I could simply pick up an envelope with my name on it an the roomcard inside from the counter. Numerous restaurants and shops are close by and the Hostel is not hard to find either. The room was spotless and had everything necessary at a reasonable pricepoint."

"Aucun."

"Convenient location, comfortable rooms and good quality amenities"

"Not knowing that I could potentially have to walk up the stairs 5 flights before booking"

"Excellent value for money, convenient transportation, easy access to everything, convenient check-in, user-friendly management."

"There are several mosquitoes sucking blood in the room, and there is no mosquito repellent equipment (it is best to buy one yourself)"
