The term residence refers to a residential
hotel. The idea behind the phrase is to incorporate the comforts provided by
both hotels and officetels, going one step further in ensuring total customer
satisfaction. They are gaining popularity among foreign visitors staying in
Korea for long periods because of their outstanding service and affordable room
rates. A residence can be used for living as well as business purposes since
it has a kitchen and three or four independent spaces. A fitness center,
restaurants, rest areas, and Internet facilities are also usually
available. Security systems are in operation 24 hours a day for the safety of
residents. | |

| Some residences are fully equipped with facilities for laundry or cooking or
offer optional laundry or restaurant services. Various other services are also
provided, including delivery of messages from visitors. At some residences,
recreational activities are arranged so that residents can build new
friendships and enjoy entertainment. |

Short-term lease is recommended for visitors
planning to stay in Korea less than one year. In Korea, a lease is usually in
the form of jeonse (a deposit only) or wolse (a deposit plus monthly rent).
However, both jeonse and wolse arrangements are usually for one or two years,
making a short-term lease more practical in many cases for visitors planning to
stay in Korea for several months but less than a year. |
A deposit totaling one or two months of rent is usually paid up-front, and
regular rent is paid each month. Various types of residences are available,
including apartments, villas, and officetels. If you do not want to buy home
appliances or furniture, a fully furnished officetel is ideal. Most officetels
have basic amenities, such as a washing machine, refrigerator, and assorted
furniture.
