Hey, What's up everyone? I was just wondering if anyone had any information about cheap temporary housing for about a month. I know about goshiwons but I would prefer something a little more private since my girlfriend often stays with me. Ideally I would be somewhere on the West end of Seoul as close to Olympic Park as possible but I'm flexible on location. I'm trying to keep the price reasonable since I'll really only be here until June 20th or so but have to rent for the entire month. Any suggestions would be great. Catch you later.

Goshuwans vary quite a bit, so you might want to check out several different ones and find one that is right for you. Some have windows, some don't. Some are loaded with people, some are quiet and only have people occasionally.

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
