Visitors
to Korea can choose from a wide range of good-value accommodations
including hotels, inns, hostels, homestay and resort condominiums.
There is an extensive choice of hotels: super deluxe, deluxe,
first, second, and third class. Rates start at about 46,000
won per night, and in the case of super deluxe hotels, rates
range from 170,000 to 220,000 won.
An increasing number of hotels offer recreation facilities
such as swimming pools, saunas, indoor driving ranges, bowling
alleys and health clubs for their guests. There are also disco
and karaoke bars, casinos and recreation rooms, providing
nighttime as well as daytime entertainment. In addition, exciting
and fun-filled special seasonal events and packages are available
throughout the year.
Inns and hostels are inexpensive types of accommodations.
They offer simple, clean accommodations. Rates vary with the
services and facilities provided. Staying at hostels can cost
as little as 11,000 won per night and inns range from 20,000
won to 50,000 won.
Homestay offers not only relatively cheap or sometimes even
free lodging but a great opportunity to make friends with
a Korean family and personally experience the Korean lifestyle
as well.
Resort condominiums provide excellent self-service accommodations
and are mostly located in cities with major tourist attractions.
They are fully equipped with kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms
and so on, and available also to non-members on a short-term
basis.
