There are plenty of low-budget options in Suncheon, including hostels, love motels, yeogwan, and minbak. The largest groups of inexpensive love motels (about W30,000 for a standard room) are near the train station, in Yeonhyang-do, and in the Geumdang area. Tourist-class hotels can be found in the old downtown area of Jangcheon-dong. And, of course, there are the really cheap 24-hour saunas, called jjimjilbahng, where you can get a bath and sleep in group quarters for W10,000.
City Tourist Hotel, 22-24 Namnae-dong (tel. 061/753-4000; fax 061/753-3049), with rack rates starting at W65,000, has a bar, cafe, bakery, and a couple of restaurants, and it offers free shuttle service to and from the airport. Conveniently located and more upscale is the Suncheon Royal Hotel, 35-8 Jangcheon-dong (tel. 061/741-7000; fax 061/741-7810), with rates starting at W90,000 for a standard room.
