Any recommendations for a hotel/motel near Seoul Station or Ewha?

Preferably no higher than $50.

The area next to Ewha is Shinchon. It is full of motels. Sorry, I don't know any of the prices.

Go out exit 3 (when you go through the turnstiles from the platform to the station proper, turn left; I think that's the exit number). Take the elevator, escalators, or stairs down to the ground level and turn right. Walk just a couple of blocks in that direction until you are at a crosswalk underneath an overpass (flyover). Cross the street, turn left, then immediately turn right. There are a few cheap hotels in that district. I prefer the second one up the road on the left side. The usual cost is 30,000 won per night.

Argh! I forgot to mention which station! Those are directions from Seoul Station (not the subway station).

Similarly, about how long does it take to get from Seoul Station to Ewha?

The Shincheon Station area behind the Hyundai Department Store is riddled with small 'Love Hotels'. Take your pick, and they're a lot closer to Seoul Station. If you're not prude or picky, those are a good bet.

The upside is that you're close to HongDae, which is a pretty cool area. Seoul Station is boring.

Enjoy!

Short for the area around HongIk University (Dae=University). The subway stop is 'HongDae Station'. Go out exit 5 and hang a left up to the park and parking lot streets, or head up to the main gait and work your way out from there.
