That is a 28% gap, and the biggest lever on what you pay: the same kind of room simply costs more when demand peaks. February comes close to the low point, a good fallback if January does not suit you. These figures come from 222 hotels in Seoul whose prices we check on Agoda on a rolling basis. Across the whole year the typical night averages €119. - **Cheapest month:** [January](https://stayversus.com/en/hotel-prices/january/) €100 - **Most expensive month:** [September](https://stayversus.com/en/hotel-prices/september/) €128 - **Typical night, year average:** €119 - **Saturday vs Tuesday:** +41% - **Hotels price-checked:** 222 ## Typical nightly price by month Nov Dec Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct - Cheapest month: January, about €100 a night on average - Most expensive month: September, about €128 a night on average The typical price is the median of the monthly averages of up to 222 hotels we price-check on Agoda (one night, 2 adults).
