I intend to stay at a goshiwon for the next two months but I've had no luck locating any that are available. I cannot speak Korean so when I ring they just hang up and I'm getting nowhere.

If anyone is in a goshiwon that has an available room (up to KW450,000)could you please give me directions. I dont mind the location in Seoul as long as its near enough to a subway station.

I'd really appreciate any help, thanks

choose an area, ring seoul helpline and ask where the goshiwons are. The rock up and check the rooms out. If you a staying for a month or longer then get a discount

There's a lot of them in Shinchon, some in the 250 000 - 300 000 price range even. Enjoy the free rice!

just look for the words 고시원....they're everywhere. Especially Sinchon as the last poster mentioned......don't even need to call them. Just have a wonder about......

They can be dangerous places because just about anyone can stay in them.

There's a really cool one near guro digital complex across the street from daerim seongmo byeongwon(daerim virgin mary hospital). I think it's called hue residence. The guy who owns it is really nice and speaks decent English. You can also eat as much free kimchi and rice as you want.

One called "My Goshitel" 마이 고시텔" near Hong Ik University station on line 2. Owner speaks English well enough, rooms from 4-450,000 won/month. Seemed pretty clean when I was there last month.
If the owner's not there when you call, call again.
