Close to subway (DDP station, exit 8), had a few halal restaurants behind the property. Close to fashion mall & uniqlo in dongdaemun. They don’t have elevator but they can help to send your bag upstairs using luggage lift

Nothing

Olive Hostel is located in the centre of Dongdaemun, a neighbourhood full of shops, places where to eat and things to see. The Underground is 3 mins walk and there are a lot of buses as well. Very easy also from and to the airport. Room was not big, but perfect for one person, it had all the necessities I needed, considering I only slept and showered. AC, mini fridge, and personal wifi. The best part of the stay was Anna, the host. Such a sweet person, she even left me a note with Korean sweets to make me feel warm and welcome. Absolutely nothing negative to say about the Olive Hostel.

I was aware that the accommodation I chose in Seoul would be small, but during my visit, everything was quite expensive—or perhaps Seoul itself is generally pricey. Communication with the property was smooth via Booking.com, and its location was excellent. It was close to several tourist attractions and markets, and it offered easy access to both airports by metro or bus. While I’m unsure if I’d choose to stay there again, its location was undeniably convenient, especially given that I was arriving at one airport and departing from another.

The room I booked was extremely compact, and even for one person, it was a bit challenging to manage. There wasn’t enough space to leave my 10kg carry-on suitcase open. The shower was situated right next to the toilet, which I understand is common in Seoul. That said, I had chosen the smallest, windowless room at a lower price point. I believe the accommodation offers larger rooms that could comfortably fit two people.

The hotel is 1 minutes close to subway. Whit nice walk you can reach many things around , as temple , food market and shops . The hosts is not there at the reception but every time I message them they answer really fast . They are really kind people . The room are minimal and super clean , for me was absolutely fine, I don’t need more than that when I travel . The hotel is absolutely recommended.

The location is clean, and amazingly quite ! The bed was comfortable, there is an efficient AC. There is a fridge, air dryer inside the room. Showers and toilet cabin are in the same room, never saw that before, but it's exactly as on the picture so no surprises. I didn't try to be honest, feel weird to shower with the toilet in the same place.

I had a good stay.

Very clean and tidy, location is very convenient, use exit 12 in Dun Dun with elevator is better than exit 8 which is the nearest exit to hostel but have to walk up and down the stairs.

The bed size is a king size double bed which is too large for a single room. Though it’s comfortable but the remaining space can’t allow me to open a 24” luggage fully.

the toilet and room is very clean even though the size quite small but still tolerable. location wise, just 10-minutes walking distance from DDP and very near to the nearest subway station. got nearby halal kebab restaurant and other convenience stores. the staff is very responsive when you messaged her and very helpful. they also got washing machine and dryer free to used.

Olive Hostel exceeded my expectations! My friends & I were in town for a quick weekend and were looking for something inexpensive and safe. We found it here!! The rooms were comfortable and the hotel itself was located right next to the train and bus stations. Will definitely stay here again.

It's really well situated and the host was very helpful!

You're in Korea, things are a little more cosy here. The room is a little small and so are the towels but its in an excellent location with some food spots around, good access to temples and it's good value for money.

Very near the train station (Dongdaemun History and Culture Park). The staff was very responsive and room was clean too.

As the room was icy cold when we checked in, maybe could have warmed up the room abit beforehand.
