Where to stay near here
Rooms we already check for concert trips, in areas within about 2 km of here (Dongdaemun (DDP), Jongno / central Seoul (Line 5, no transfer)). Prices are typical nightly rates and the links open without dates, so put your own nights in.
K-Grand Hostel Dongdaemun
★ 8.38.3 from 783 reviews, which is the deepest review record of anything we would put you in around this venue, and the private double rooms are ordinary hotel rooms rather than bunks. It sits on the Wangsimni-ro corridor, so it is a straightforward ride back and you are next to Sindang for late food.
nook Inn
★ 7.6A shared-bathroom double runs about US$95 and a private one about US$103, and the all-night Dongdaemun markets mean there is real food whenever the show lets you out.
Beyond Residence Jongno
★ 8.6Better rated and in the middle of the city, and Line 5 runs to the venue without a transfer, which is what makes central Seoul workable for this dome rather than just nice to look at. Books out earlier than Konkuk does.
