Better way to go hotel from Incheon airport is by Airport Railroad Express (AREX) then transfer to the green line #2 at Hongik univ. station then get off at Euljiro 1-ga station and exit between Gate #5 and Gate #6 (Stairs...

A very comfortable place to stay. Nice rooms, clean bathrooms. The staff helped us find food at 2 am since we checked in late. Extremely close to the metro, and easy to get to from the airport. We only stayed for one night as we passed through Seoul again, but it was very comfortable and a good central location for... More

I stayed here 7 nights in a Business room and it was a good stay without any issues. The hotel is close to a subway station and I used the train to get to and from Incheon airport without any difficulties. The location is in the centre of the original city (ringed by the 4 mountains) so a lot of... More

This hotel is located in a central area with a lot of restaurants. It's near the metro which gives you easy access to the rest of Seoul. The room was small, (that's Seoul) but clean. It was good isolated you could hear the noises and happenings from outside. It's a good value for your money!

Me and my friends stayed at their Deluxe Room for 4 nights. It was spacious enough for us and everything was clean and cozy. Breakfast had limited choices but everything was good.
