The coronavirus epidemic has prompted growing numbers of people to move into hotels because rooms are now so cheap that they make long stays easily affordable.
The sharp drop in foreign visitors has forced hotels in the downtown shopping district of Myeong-dong, trendy Hongik University area and affluent Gangnam to advertise long-stay packages. And a growing number of people in their 20s and 30s who are bored at home in lockdown have snapped them up, both for the service and a change of scene.
One 31-year-old office worker moved into a three-star hotel in central Seoul last week just a 10-minute walk from his office. The monthly cost is W660,000 or just W20,000 a night (US$1=W1,125). He said he wants to save time from his usual two-hour round-trip commute from Seongnam south of Seoul and use the hotel s gym for free.
