A cheap place to sleep is at the local jimjilbang 찜질방. This is a kind of bathhouse that has a communal room for sleeping on the floor. It usually costs about 6000 won. Ask a taxi driver for the closest jimjilbang:

Sporex

A gym on the 4th floor of Yeoseodong's main nightlife strip with a tiny jjimjilbanmg attached. Has showers instead of a spa and limited lockers, but the sleeping room upstairs is quite pleasant. Being a smaller establishment, one can expect a bit better night's sleep and greater chances of successfully nabbing a sleeping mat and headrest cube.
