Liked: Staff & service
I stayed in the 6 bed female dorm, and the room was shockingly quiet. The bed was comfortable and gave a level of privacy with a curtain that pulled close. They also had a minimal breakfast in the morning and the staff were nice and helpful. It was also in a good location. My main issue with this place was the cleanliness in the bathroom… it was most often NOT clean, which is very weird, because my other problem with this place was that the staff came into the room at least 3 times throughout the day to clean and mess with the ac and air units every day. That was not ideal when I was trying to sleep and recover from jet lag, but if they can go into the rooms that much, they can go into the bathroom more and clean it better. Also, like stated in other reviews, the bathroom does smell, and right when you walk into the property does too. Oh and I almost forgot my other biggest complaint - in the main sitting and kitchen area, it’s full of mosquitos!! You can’t actually sit out there without getting attacked by them. They were worse inside than anywhere I went outside, and sometimes they do make it into the room. With all that said, overall the place was fine enough, depending on what you’re looking for. Some good things, some not so good things. I would potentially stay there again, but only as a last resort.
Kim's house, level 3 was lovely.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay.
Very helpful staff.

Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was nex to reception, butbthe bathroom.was across the ither side of reception. And the storgae lockers were behind reception.meaninf every time you need to chbage or use the bathroom you have to traipsw through a bunch of people. Very inconvenient and defeats the whole.purpose of booking a female only.dorm.of bookinf a female.only.dorm
I had a great stay at Oyo, big plus was location with walking distance for shopping and dining and also to the Namsan Cable Park - Namsan Park is a must while in Seoul!
We’re very much satisfied with our stay at Oyo. The only problem we encounter was it doesn’t have an elevator. We came with a 79 y/o parent & was a bit disappointed when we found out that it doesn’t have an elevator. The lift is only for luggages. But other than that we’re ok. Good thing our senior was able to manage it. Overall, we’ll stay again at this hostel. Thank you!
Located centrally in a quiet area. Very close to transport options. Inclusive breakfast was adequate. Rooftop nice. Lots of nearby supermarket opsitons.
Only criticism was needing to walk through reception/lounge area to get to bathrooms from dorm rooms.
Overall was great.
Able to keep the luggages before check-in time.
About 3 mins from Myeongdong Station.
The room (the bunk bed) was very cozy and clean.
The toilet was relatively clean but the shower head and system had wear and tear. Would be great if can change them.
Neverthless, will still stay at this place when I'm in Seoul.
