Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel overall. The rooms were clean and quiet as I requested, looked even nicer than in the pictures, with a comfy bed, good blinds, and very clean facilities. However, during peak vacation periods, rooms may become scarce.
I found the hotel to be conveniently placed within the airport concourse and on the 'airside', making onward security formalities minimized. While the room was a bit shabby, it was quiet and had everything I needed, including a well-equipped bathroom. The small but well-appointed room had a very comfortable bed and a lovely bathroom with a hot shower.
Staying at the hotel within the airport building was convenient for catching an early flight but had some drawbacks. The rooms had no windows and were filled with dust, making them rather warm, but the central location in the airport concourse minimized security formalities. Service was a mixed bag with a helpful gesture of lending a travel adaptor but encounters with rudeness and language barriers. The location, while superb for early connections, lacked proximity to the gate and came at a cost. Dining options were limited and pricey, with a need for more diverse international dishes.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms are small but adequate, with conveniently located electrical sockets on the dresser. However, the lack of windows made it feel like sleeping in an airport terminal. The service was a standout, with approachable staff despite occasional smiles missing. The location within Incheon airport complex was highly convenient, being just 10 minutes away from any flight at Terminal 1 and right across from our gate. The dining options were decent, although more international dishes like scrambled eggs and bread would have been appreciated.
My stay at the hotel was convenient and comfortable, with a few minor drawbacks. The rooms were small but cozy, quiet, and equipped with everything I needed for a pleasant stay. The service was satisfactory, with polite staff offering rooms with a view, although some communication issues were noted. The location was perfect for transit passengers, being right within the airport terminal and close to facilities like shower rooms. The dining options were decent but lacked certain items like coffee mate. Overall, a good stay with some room for improvement.
