The hostel was in a very convenient location. The tube stations were nearby (3 minute walk). There is a CU and restaurants near the accomodation. It was near Gwangjang market, Dongdaemun and Cheonggyecheon stream as well. The staff were all very friendly, good english skills and were helpful and accomodating to our requests and questions. The room and other facilities were clean. The mini fridge in tge room was a lifesaver. The hostel was also near the airport limousine dropoff/pickup points, around 5 minute walk.
Be mindful of your luggages when booking, as the hostel did not have a lift. But this is common in South Korea, if the building has only 5 floors they don't have lifts (according to their law)

Cosy hostel situated centrally within Seoul, just a short walk away from numerous public transport stations and restaurants. The staff are the best I have ever seen in any hotel/hostel I have stayed in so far. From the moment we stepped foot inside, we were greeted with warm smiles, a very pleasant demeanour in all of our interactions, and super helpful advice in all of our queries. We also got a welcome treat, as well as goodbye treats. Genuinely I cannot emphasise enough how amazing of the stay the staff made it for us. If they are reading this then thank you so much for making our stay so much more pleasant than it would’ve been without you <3 For other things, the hostel offers compact rooms with working AC and a bathroom; breakfast between 08:00 - 11:00 where slices of bread and access to a toaster, cereal, coffee, tea, juice, and water are provided along with plates, bowls, spoons, forks, knives, and chopsticks; and a (usually) same day laundry service for 10,000won per basket. To clarify on the laundry, it is entirely optional, however, it was super handy for us to avail of considering that Korea gets very hot in the summer months, thus we end up very sweaty and need to change clothes daily. Both times we used it we got our baskets back on the same day with freshly cleaned clothes. Would highly recommend availing of the service if you'll be staying for long. On the note of breakfast, guests are expected to clean up after themselves and wash their dishes in the sink provided in the breakfast lounge area on the top floor. Everyone was very good for this, so you should be too! There is space and food availability all throughout the breakfast period so don't feel rushed to make it in for bang on 8 o'clock, however, I would recommend having breakfast at least before 10 o'clock as most dishes will have been used by then and you'll have to use one of the recently cleaned ones.
The hostel is situated in a not so appealing alleyway and doesn't have the nicest view from the balcony. Nevertheless, it is still central and safe. Naver Maps has the hostel listed as “에어호스텔 동대문” “Air Hostel Dongdaemun”, rather than as OYO. You will also see “Air Hostel” written inside the hostel. This may be a little confusing at first when using Naver, however, writing in the above name should yield the correct location. The hostel did not appear to have any lifts, so it may not suitable for anyone suffering from mobility impairments that prevent them from using stairs.

Room was as described, slightly small but good for value for the price! Location is very near Jongno 5-ga metro and walkable, also walkable to dongdaemun plaza around 10-15 minutes. Breakfast was provided which is simple with cereal and bread but feels very cozy. Staff were all very helpful and polite and it was a very pleasant stay, and provided welcome and goodbye snacks. Strongly recommended for budget travellers!
Nothing I didn't like! Just remember to bring conditioner (shampoo and body wash is provided) if your hair tends to get fuzzy.

The rooftop area is nice. Room is clean.
The "deluxe" room is really small, maybe 9qm. Unfortunately, there is no closet to store clothes, and no hangers. All our clothes need to lay on the ground or stay in bagpack. Breakfast was basically, but better than nothing. We don't eat cow milk, we would have been thankful for soymilk to eat the cereals. Breakfast startes at 8, due to the early sunrise we would have liked to have it earlier.

We were really satisfied with the stay in this hostel. Price was very reasonable considering the location and standard. Room was maybe small but very cozy. We visited Seoul in the winter time but heating was working perfectly. I really enjoyed the comfortable beds, clean bedding and fridge in the room. We didnt have any issues with noises or anything else. what is more, there is a direct bus from/to airport to the bus stop which is 3 min walk from hostel.
the only thing that may be better is wider choice on breakfast

Good value for money. The facilities are ok. You can get coffee until 10 PM. The laundry service is great! This hostel is more for groups of friends than solo travelers as people are not that keen to hang out in the common area!
The rooms did not have a functional window, we couldn't open it so it was humid inside. The neighborhood has a couple brothels so walking alone late at night might be uncomfortable. We didn't have any issues tho. A couple nights/mornings were a bit noisy. The breakfast is just toast and cereal.

The hostel was well located to the subway and had a great rooftop. I also loved the free breakfast too. Perfect for a short stay.
The twin bunk room was a little small but for a short stay it was comfortable. Note there is no elevator so if you had big suitcases the narrow staircase could be difficult.

Super convenient location - close to metro station & walking distance to Gwangjang Market & Naksan Fortress Wall trail. Great shower, super clean room & toiletries provided. Breakfast on the rooftop was decent. Free water to refill our bottles. The welcome and goodbye snack was a nice touch! The manager John was amazing and super helpful. He went out of his way to help us solve an issue with one of our flights. We noticed he kept the breakfast station filled at all times. You will be very looked after if you stay here! Thank you John! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
The mattress was very hard and we had guests next door who would talk loudly past midnight. But all the positives outweigh the negatives. We would definitely stay here again.

The reception was very accommodating. The stay was located near stops which makes it very easy to move around the city from and to the stay. The free breakfast is great to have when you want to start a slow morning. A bus stop for the airport limousine is also situated near the stay, so going to and from the airport is very convenient.
The location of the stay may seem intimidating for some people. Beds are on the firmer side, while pillows are on the softer side(had to use both pillows for my head).

I loved my stay in the hostel. I traveled with my friend and as two females we felt very safe in the hostel itself and in the neighborhood. We were never bothered on the streets despite a couple of bars close to the hostel. The hotel is located very close to the metro station and the night market that we loved. Many shops and restaurants in the area. The room was big enough for 2 women with suitcases. Bed and bedding surprisingly pleasant. You can change towels daily. Breakfast was limited but satisfying. you can have it on a nice rooftop terrace. But the highlight of our stay was staff, especially John. Everyone spoke good English and were helpful and kind. The direct bus from the airport to the hostel is a huge bonus.
Nothing, great value for money.
