Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: 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.
Summary: Perfect stay.
