고시텔 Goshitel

Just in case you were curious... This is one of the places I stayed at for a few months in Seoul, Korea. It's sort of like a dorm, except we had use of a common kitchen, and they gave us free rice, kimchi, ramen, and eggs. The room was tiny, smaller than some of my friend's walk-in closets in fact, and came with a TV, fridge (on a side note, the freezer was too small to actually store things in - I once bought a pint of ice cream from Baskin & Robbins only to realize I had to eat the entire thing), chair and desk, bed (slightly smaller than twin-size), closet, and shelf space. Dryers aren't common in Korea so we hung our clothes on the bar above the bed, which meant you didn't need to buy a humidifier in the winter. Living here was quite the experience, surprisingly rarely claustro even though my "window" only faced the hallway and not fresh air, and I'm glad I tried it. ^^
