Incheon Airport Hotel

The Incheon Airport Hotel is conveniently located in relation to the airport, but not much else. There are a few restaurants and bars nearby, and if you book online the rate is pretty good (98,000 won), but unless you have an early morning flight, there is no need to book here. The last shuttle of the day for the airport leaves at 12:10PM. If you have a flight in the evening, like us, that means a long day at the airport. Luckily, Incheon Airport is one of the best airports in the world.

They do provide one complimentary breakfast per room. If you have two people, you'll have to pay 8,000 won for one of you. The breakfast is a strange mix of Korean and American fare. They have fruit, but not much of it, eggs, and what they call ham, sausage, and bacon. The bacon is actually bacon, but the ham and sausage are Oscar Meyer-type lunch meat and a hot dog respectively. The orange juice, coffee, tea, and toast are all self-service,which in Korea generally means unlimited within reason.

The room itself is a decent size, but the hotel screams love hotel. They must have converted it at some point, because they have regular cable instead of the standard cable that comes in most love hotels. Anyone who has lived in Korea knows what I'm talking about. The bathroom is a bit strange though. The toilet and shower/bath facilities have their own rooms and the sink is outside of the room with the toilet.

I really have no complaints about the place, other than the fact that the shuttle bus could run just a bit later. One thing to be aware of; if you walk-in the price is 150,000 won/night, and that is definitely too much to pay for this hotel.
