I'm heading to the U.S. for a visit. My 2 year old son and I will be leaving Wednesday the 16th. I'd like to go up Tuesday and get a hotel near Yongsan Station (so we can catch the limo bus from the station to the airport).

Can you recommend a clean, reasonably priced and safe hotel close to Yongsan station? Since I'll have a small child with me cleanliness and safety are my main concerns.

Thanks!

Kaya Hotel for 50,000 won is within walking distant of Yongsan and has been great both times we stayed there.

Also, I would prefer to NOT be in Itaewon... it's not exactly kid-friendly, you know?

I prefer the Rainbow hotel around the corner from Kaya. Its a similar price but it is a little more modern. The Kaya is looking a bit faded thesedays IMO.

OP, in the alley right in front of Yongsan station is a pretty big Redlight district. I'm talking clear glass storefronts with scantily clad women waiting to get customers.

Not sure if that is something you want your son to see.

Yeah... I thought about that after I posted.

Ended up getting a hotel in Myeong-dong, farther than I wanted to be... but at least it's in a reasonably clean area.

Ergh. I hate going to Seoul.

Thanks for the reminder!
