If you are okay staying a 90 minute bus ride away from the airport, there is an excellent jjimjilbang behind Seoul Station, complete with large rooms dedicated to sleeping (100s of beds for each sex). It's called Shiloam. From the front of Seoul Station, you have to get around to the back. During business hours, you can go into the Lotte dep't store that's to the right as you face the station, walk past the lockers, around the corner and down the stairs. If it's closed, go around to the right (past the old station), turn left to go down a corridor of homeless people, and down some stairs in the back. Once behind that whole complex, go right to the crosswalk under the overpass. Cross the street, and veer left for 10 or 20 meters. You'll see a very steep driveway with a raisable bar gate in front of it. Go up there, the entrance is on the side. It's a 5 story building that says sauna on it. Sorry I can't give better directions, but it is an excellent jjimjilbang and a great place to sleep for 12k won.

You can catch a deluxe bus to the airport on the front end of the corridor of homelessness.


...by myself, around midnight, with everything I own?

There is no crime in Korea. (sarcasm, please come through)

You could take a taxi from the front of Seoul Station.

So is the jimjimbang both men and women. Meaning women can also sleep there? if so, where can you leave your luggage?
