Since
we plan of staying for almost 2 weeks in our SK trip, then we should find a
good place to stay at. Somewhere it’s not that expensive and safe. Also since
we will be staying long, we wish to find a place where we can possibly cook,
wash our clothes and get free PC and internet access. The place must also be
around Seoul so that it wouldn’t be that hard to go around the place.
We
found 2 places that will surely fit our budget and provide us the necessary
facilities we are just looking for.
This
will feature 2 hostels where we plan of staying in our trip; that would be
HOSTEL KOREA and INSIDE BACKPACKERS.
HOSTEL KOREA
Hostel Korea is located in the heart
of Seoul, near Dongdaemun, which makes it very convenient for travelers
to move around the city.Travelers can get to the main tourist attraction within 5 to 10 minutes.

Enjoy a comfortable stay and real Korean lifestyle
when you stay at INSIDE Backpackers. Seoul accommodations are located in the heart of Daehangno,
a historical, cultural, and shopping center of Seoul. INSIDE
Backpackers is only a five
minute walk from the bus stop and the subway station.
Location:
By Bus from Incheon Airport
- After leaving Customs and
Immigration, find an Information desk and ask for directions to bus number
6011. It should be departing the airport from stop 5B or 12A.
- When the bus arrives, hand your
luggage to the driver and tell him you are going to SungKyunKwan. He will
give you a claim ticket for your luggage. The bus costs 9,000 won, which
you can pay with cash or a T-Money card.
- Aboard the bus, sit near the
front and look for the 'Stop' button above your head. The bus only stops
if someone pushes that button, so listen carefully for 'SungKyunKwan', and
press the button when you hear it. The stop will be a little more than an
hour away from the airport.
* If you get confused or think you have missed your stop, ask the drivers: 'SungKyunKwan' He will hopefully speak English or be able to motion that the stop is farther ahead. - When you get off the bus, hand
your claim ticket to the driver and collect your bags
- Cross the five lane street,
toward the Dunkin' Donuts.
- Walk down the two-lane street,
with the Dunkin' Donuts on your left and the T-World on your right, for
about 2 minutes (500 feet/150 meters).
* If you pass a University on your left, you've gone too far. - On your right, you will see a
bakery named 'BBang Goom Teo'. Turn right just before this bakery.
- Walk less than a minute (100
feet/30 meters), and you will see our building on your left. Look for our
yellow 'Inside' sign over the door.
- Come up to the second floor and
ring the doorbell. You have arrived!
* Take your shoes off when you come inside
By Subway
- Way to Hyehwa Subway Exit no.
4.

about 200 meters (on the way you should see: a movie theater CGV). Keep
going to the end of the road where you will see a 'Family Mart' and
'Watson’s beauty'. Look to your right across the street with a crosswalk,
and you will see a Dunkin' Donuts. Cross the street and go through Dunkin'
Donuts and T world!

convenience store 'Buy the way' and turn right in front of BBang goom teo
bakery.
