Amazing
WWWJ.I was a bit unsure at first since there weren’t many photos and only a few reviews, but because the feedback was very positive, I decided to give it a try — and I’m so glad I did! The hotel turned out to be excellent.
The room is on the smaller side, which I think is perfect for one person (I’m 178 cm tall). I loved how well the space was designed and utilized — it never felt cramped and was very functional. Most importantly, everything was spotlessly clean. The bed, pillows, and blanket were incredibly comfortable, and the towels smelled fresh and were of great quality. I also appreciated that the hotel provided high-quality amenities — even the hairdryer, tissues, and bathroom products (including conditioner!) were a step above the usual.
The staff were absolutely wonderful. I arrived early in the morning and had to head straight to a concert, so I had many questions in advance. They answered all my emails quickly and in great detail, which I really appreciated. The self check-in and check-out system was also seamless and easy to use — very convenient and stress-free.
In the room, there was a clear guide on how to use the equipment, connect to Wi-Fi, and even recommendations for nearby restaurants, cafés, and pubs. The neighborhood itself is calm and outside the main tourist area, yet just a short walk to the subway station that connects easily to the major lines.
Shared facilities included complimentary coffee, ice, drinking water, and glasses for self-service, which was a nice touch.
I would highly recommend this hotel for solo travelers, but it’s also great for couples or friends. For me, it exceeded expectations in every way — truly impressive!

AAnastasiia_NabiPerfect for solo travelers!🔥 I was very happy to come back here after long hours of walking around the city!
The room and the hostel itself look even better than in photos, everything is very clean and cozy. The room is small but the zoning is just perfect, there's everything you need - a refrigerator, a wardrobe, shelves, air conditioning, also the hood works very well and there's no humidity after the shower. If you turn the sign on the door, they'll do a perfect cleaning and change the towels. There's also a laundry service.
It's comfortable to be in the common area - the staff is incredibly nice and friendly, they'll help if you have questions🥰 In the evening it's quiet and you can relax here~ The breakfast is simple - milk, cereal and toast, but for me it was enough.
The hostel is great if you want independence: check-in and check-out are easy to make it yourself, and it's convenient that you only need your key card to enter. It feels like you're renting a room in a nice building, not living in a hostel. I like it❤️
The location is just great! The fact that the metro is 1-2 minutes away is no joke! There're also many convenience stores nearby, a currency exchange office, various restaurants, Paris Baguette, Daiso and Olive Young, and of course a shopping street Myeongdong, literally across the road, where I spent my every evening🥹 The Namsan tower is also visible every time you return to the hostel✨
I had a great time here and would be happy to stay here again on my next trip to Korea, thank you OYO 6!🫶

DD14241****The location is fantastic! Right downstairs, there are all sorts of restaurants, and it's just off the street behind the Apple Store, very close to the subway entrance. You'll find women from all over the world staying here, and the resting environment is incredibly quiet. Everyone is very considerate about maintaining a good atmosphere. I'll definitely stay here again next time.

Ssabby liaThe hotel is quite nice and a have enough space for us to move around. The check in time is 7pm but the owner give us early check in. This makes us really ease as we need to put luggage and going out back. The owner is nice! Although we have communication barrier but he communicate with translator which we can understand each other. I ordered room for 2 but as a last min plan I bring another one person. The owner give a discount on the additional guest. Good service as we first step up in the hotel 👍🏼 During the check in time, the owner shows us how to turn on the heater but the tv seems like not working. But the next day the tv is working fine which the owner is putting his effort to make the tv working although I already said it’s okay (bcs we don’t have enough time to watch). Good service!
Toilet is clean like a new toilet. We stayed 4d3n and the owner ask us if we want to clean the room. The next day our hotel is cleaned up and replace with the new towels, mineral water. There is heater in the bed which really helpful for us since the weather is cold. There are fan and air conditioning. Water dispenser and microwave also have.
There is CU Mart infront of the hotel. This makes us ease for to topup & refund the t-money card.
The only cons is - distance from hotel to the nearest subway station (MIA STATION) is around 15mins walking which makes me very tired. Seems like close but it is far actually. So only one time we walking to the station and the rest of the days we take taxi. Not recommended for those that very rely on public transport. No nearest bus station also. Not suitable for tourists/traveller unless you okay to walk along the way until station or main road.

GGuest UserThis isn't my first time staying at an overseas guesthouse. Considering the price and location, it offered excellent value for money, and frankly, there shouldn't have been any reason to complain. However, I would strongly advise solo female travelers, or groups of women, against staying here.
On my last night, probably after 11 PM, someone was chatting loudly in the corridor for quite a while, and then someone tried to open my room door. My room has a keypad lock, and because they kept entering the wrong code, the lock just kept beeping loudly. At that moment, I was absolutely terrified. I then shouted, 'What's the matter? What's going on?', but the person outside continued to punch in numbers on the keypad. It was only after I repeatedly questioned what was happening that they finally stopped and said, 'Sorry! I got the wrong room!' Was it a genuine mistake? There's no way for me to verify that now.
The next day, after checking out, I emailed the guesthouse simply to report the facts, without intending to make any complaint or seek compensation. (There were notices posted in the guesthouse and corridors reminding guests to keep quiet at night.) However, their reply stated that they monitor CCTV footage every night after 10 PM! They claimed those people only stayed for a short time (they used the word 'soon' when describing how they went into their own room, but I distinctly remember it being closer to half an hour, definitely *not* 'soon'). Furthermore, if that's the case, it means they were able to see people chatting in the corridor in real-time last night, completely disregarding the 'keep quiet' rule. This points to a clear management issue. What's even more concerning is that they claimed nobody 'touched your door or tried to open it'. I truly regret not having filmed any evidence!

GGuest UserIt's a love hotel.
Toothbrushes and razors are provided.
Because it's a love hotel, check-in starts at 11:00 PM.
If you want to leave your luggage and take a shower before going out at night,
that's not possible.
I wish check-in could start in the evening.

JJadeyCMy review for a 2 night stay as 2 friends in a Twin room with windows.
Plus points:
1) Value for money, no frills, simple breakfast included
2) Excellent location by DDM History & Culture Park Station, Bus Stops and short walk after you alight from Airport Bus 6001 alighting at Toyoko Inn
3) Near to DDP and DDM shopping area, food options, and convenient stores nearby
4) Able to store luggage
5) Water cooler on every floor for hot and cold water
6) Aircon is great during summer!
7) Elevators! (though a little slow at times)
8) They provided towels and shower toiletries
9) Faces main road not along alleyways, keycard access, main entrance and lifts have to be operated by keycards after 11pm, so pretty secured imo
10) There's a small fridge in the room, and I believe you can use the common kitchen to cook or reheat simple meals if you want to.
Points to note (not exactly negatives, dependent on tolerance levels):
1) Cleanliness, overall ok, but I don't think they clean the corners and under the beds
2) Old linen, sheets
3) Very old building, tiles cracking along the hallway, definitely in need of better maintenance
4) The shower is connected to the sink, which means no separation of toilet and shower. Everything will get wet if you are not careful
5) Small space, but manageable imo, we were able to fit and pack 2 x 24” luggages in the twin room.
6) Wash your own dishes after having your breakfast, not an issue for us, though
Overall, it's an old, budget, no frills guesthouse. Will recommend it for short stays, and I would return if I am travelling alone for the price point.
6.9/10
GGuest UserI stayed as a backpacker and for me it had everything it needed, however the Showers look worse than prison showers and by the feel of it you have to shower next to the open window otherwise the Fire alarm will go off. The toilets are clean and modern. The kitchen has everything you really need even if most of the Teflon pans are scratched up. The rooms have AC as well as a little Heater they give you. Sound isolation is good except for the door, you will hear a faint snoring at best. I didn’t use the Washing machine/ Dryer but they were available and were 2k/3k W. Only the outside of the Hotel is a downside since there’s nothing except a gs25 and a bus station.
All in all if you just wanna crash there and reorganize your things it’s perfect, I would book again
