Hi,
Last year I stayed in BiBim guest house, it's in Hongdea area which is the center of Seoul and it's famous of night clubs and international restaurants . It was 17.000KW per night, I don't know if the prices got higher now. The owner of the place is super friendly and helpful, and he speaks good English.

hi,
i went to Seoul on June, i stayed at Rainbow hotel, beside namyeong station, near to yongsan war museum, me and 2 of my friends booked 1 room which could accommodate 3 persons cost 78,000 won (26,000 won per person). I'm not sure how much is your burget, but this probably could be one the option available. From there, we took a cab to Myeong-dong which only cost roughly 4,000 won. Below website maybe could assist you in price surveying and comparison.
