10.0 Cozy and welcoming! - Dan 05-06-2025

Positive points: We absolutely loved our stay at Olive Hostel! The location is perfect : close to public transport and amenities, yet tucked away in a quiet area.nnThe room was clean, well-equipped, and comfortable. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, and the rooftop was the perfect spot to unwind after a long day.nnWe stayed here twice during our trip and would recommend it to anyone visiting!

Positive points: 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.

7.6 Very good - Ericka 14-03-2025

Review: Everything is good except that the refrigerator smells so bad.

10.0 Super for sleep only - BRIAN 17-04-2025

Positive points: The location is clean, and amazingly quite !rnThe bed was comfortable, there is an efficient AC.rnThere is a fridge, air dryer inside the room. rnShowers 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.

Negative points: I had a good stay.

10.0 Great stay! - Fatimatul 29-12-2024

10.0 Best staff best location value for money - Michael 22-02-2025

Positive points: Best location, best bang for your buck, staff were very helpful and amazing

7.0 Okay for short stay - Woncheol 29-10-2024

Positive points: Great location, very close to the subway station which is connected to 3 subway lines. There are alsonloads of restaurants and convenience stores nearby.nThe fact that there are no windows in the room (making the room pitch black when lights are turned off) is actually nice to get a good night's sleep.

Negative points: No noise cancelling walls, so you can basically hear the people in the next room talking, coughing, opening a bag of chips and whatnot.

7.0 Nice cute hostel stay near prime location in Seoul. - Sumit 22-10-2024

Positive points: Great Location. Next to subway station, bus stops and located near the many shopping malls of Dongdaemun. The famous DDP is just few minutes away. Many restaurants nearby. The host Anna is very helpful and well behaved lady.

Negative points: There is no lift though I knew before booking it, so it’s not a complain just saying to let people know.
