Yoon&Jin Hostel in Myeongdong Reviews

Location was up a big hill and about a 10 minute walk from the nearest subway station, but other than that, I really enjoyed the place. The staff was very helpful in getting me baseball tickets and they even drove us to a market we were interested in going, although they didn't speak much English. Overall this place was great value for money and I would stay here again if I visit Seoul.

We had 4-bedroom dorm with the three of us. It was in the basement with the 8 bed dorm with only a screen that divided the rooms, so you can always hear the people in the room next door. Rooms were stuffy and very warm during the night. Was cleaned daily, but you could end up sharing one bathroom with 12 people. Staff was friendly, but only a few could speak/understand English. Hostel is indeed on a hill, like 15 min walk (so with heavy big luggage its hard).

Upon arrival, a lazy 15 second showing of the bathroom, towels, and bedroom began, with no welcome or introduction. After this point, I never saw the staff again, except one individual who entered the dorm room overnight. He never introduced himself either or even responded to a simple hello in English or Korean despite knowing both languages well, and only made my entire stay awkward. The facilities were adequate enough to get by, and the location could have been worse. Stay at your own risk.
