I'm moving into a new room next week on the 25th, but I have to move out of my current place tomorrow, the 21st.

Any suggestions on where I can live for those 4 days in between? Would you go motel or perhaps hostel?

Motels are nice and only cost 30-40k a night. I don't understand why anyone stays in hostels in Korea.

If you don't have to lug all your belongings with you - that is, you've got everything in storage until you move into your new digs - then go sleep in a jimjilbang. You can bathe, scrub yourself down and sleep for less than 10,000 won a night.

Yes - this one always confused me. Why spend 20000 and possibly spend more time and money traveling to a little out of way place to save 20,000 won. Never mind you might have to share things like bathroom and kitchen area or even sleeping area. Unless money is really tight - ok. But love motels and yogwons are just better and you can find some real gems - big screen TVs, big beds, bathtubs, funky(cool) interiors, computers, etc.

As a note - no problems with minbaks and goshiwons those have there uses and places. But for 4 days of just in between waiting I think a yogwon/love motel is a no brainer. It would be nice if you had a couch to stay on.
