Just for future reference, how does one find cheapish places to stay in Korea?

Here is a link for the YMCA in Seoul:

It's the only hostel name I know of, but it isn't a hostel it's a hotel.


Here's a link for hostel booking online: http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/south-korea/seoul/

Lonely Planet lists 40 places to stay in Seoul including homestays. They also have a list for Busan. Checkout : http://hotels.lonelyplanet.com/ Burt from the names listed they could be a bit pricey.


Here's a list of hostels around the country : http://www.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/AC/AC_EN_4_1_1.jsp?recommCid=&areaCode=&category=B02010600&menuId=3383&byclass=&gotoPage=2&#selectBox

I stayed at this place in Seoul earlier this year:

It's cheap and good if you're going to be going out a lot and just want some place to sleep in. The people there are very nice and friendly. You have computer access and a basic breakfast every day so not a bad deal for the price.

Thanks folks. That's the kind of thing I was looking for.
