Many people often ask about budget accomodations in Korea. Well, the best thing going is the "yeogwan" or motel. Motel is a recent term as until the late 80's not many people owned cars, but the yeogwan has been a regular in the budget accomodation arena for ages. They can be found everywhere, but mainly near train stations, tourist areas, and bar districts. The are designed to provide overnight lodging with just the bare necessities; bed, blanket, shower and bottle of water. However, some yeogwans these days rival a decent 3 star hotel. They will have color TV, VCR or DVD player, even a small fridge. They are not designed for extended stay but can be quite comfortable. Unfortunately, due to their place in the market, they do not (nor need to) advertise or have websites for reservations.
