Non-sketchy, budget hotels in Jongno Seoul

Country forums / North-East Asia / South Korea

Hi,

I'm taking a test at Duksung Women's University in November. The admission stub I have says it's in Unni-dong, Jongro-gu. I live near Suwon, and have to be at the test facilities by 8:30AM on a Saturday. So I have to stay in Seoul the night before. I'm looking for a hotel that won't cost me an arm and a leg (especially since I'll be a single traveler), but that I'll be able to get a good night's sleep at. I've stayed in some cheap places in Korea where I couldn't sleep because I was too sketched out to touch anything...I'm considering a double bed private ensuite for 40,000KRW at Beewon Guesthouse in Unni-dong; does anyone know anything about them? Does anyone have other recommendations?

Thanks so much!!!

Hi!

I stayed at this hotel: http://www.seoulbusinesshotel.com.
A great place, clean rooms and nearby subwaystation Anguk but Jongno -3 is also nearby.
Friendly greetings

"because I was too sketched out to touch anything"

What does that mean, exactly? In English please.... lots of cheap hotels in Silliom on the green line, exit 5 or 6 18,000 - 30,000 Won

Thanks for the tips, guys =) I'll look into them. "because I was too sketched out..." means these were love motels - but not the nice ones. The sleazy ones.
