OYO hostel Dongdaemun 1

Close location: five minutes from the metro, next to the exchange office and the market where you can eat traditional dishes; also nearby are many BBQ restaurants, 24-hour shops. Local attractions, Cheonggyecheon Stream and DDP can be reached on foot. Seoul Station is on the same metro line, easy to get to KTX. Friendly staff, you can communicate in English; a separate floor with all the amenities and a veranda on the roof is allocated for the kitchen. The room has towels, gel, shampoo and hand soap, Wi-Fi. Of the minuses: there is no elevator for luggage. But even despite this, the impression was the most pleasant.

Stayed here twice. The room is not big, but it is enough for one person. The hygiene is also OK. I didn't find any problems. The disadvantages: there is no elevator! ! ! ! ! ! It is really tiring to carry luggage! There is no kettle in the room. You need to go to the second floor to get water. When you check out, you will be given small snacks as a small gift, which is not bad. The small cookies are quite delicious. Anyway, it is good and suitable for short trips.

I stayed in a deluxe double room. It's a 5-minute walk to the Ganjang Market, a 10-minute walk to the wholesale market, and a 30-minute walk to the night shopping area (nyunyu, etc.). It's in a back alley red-light district, but it didn't feel particularly dangerous. However, the roads are muddy and wet from the drainage of restaurants, so it may be difficult for people who want to pull a cart. (The hotel is a 5-story building with only stairs, so people who want to pull a cart probably shouldn't make a reservation...) The hotel was cleaned, but the refrigerator was loud even though it was next to the bed, so it couldn't be used at night. The towels smelled too bad because they were dried indoors, so I recommend buying towels at Daiso. There are rain gutters along the wall, so you can hear the sound of a babbling brook all day after it rains or snows. Amenities include shampoo, body soap, and hand soap. They give you a small bag of sweets when you check in and out. There was no particular explanation, but is the heating in all rooms heated by floors? It seems that the temperature is set like this, and since I can't adjust it myself, it was a little hot even on a snowy day in December, so I slept with the bathroom and toilet door open, which has a window. There is no place to put luggage such as a folding rack, so you have to put your luggage on the floor, so be careful as your cosmetics and food will melt! The Wi-Fi was faster than any other hotel. I thought there would be a lot of people around the same age as there is a dormitory on another floor, but there were more families with babies and the people mentioned above. Maybe it's because of the location?

The breakfast is very simple, only bread, butter and various sauces, there are many kinds of drinks, the breakfast environment is very good, very literary! The room is small, the facilities are very ordinary, not very satisfactory, especially the room is very cold, the bathroom has no heating. The room heating is also available after 5 pm, but the service is very good. The photos taken cannot be uploaded, so this is the only way

The room was very clean and had a nice scent. The towels felt a little prickly after use. Was it because they were not handled properly or because of the disinfectant? I hope it can be improved. Checking out was early in the morning, and the staff had already prepared small gifts for the guests who were checking out. I felt warm every time I checked out. The front desk staff had good English, a good work attitude and were very responsible. Every stay was a good experience.

The staff working there was kind.
