2-Star Hotels in Incheon

Well for starters, they gave me room 301, which was easier for me to walk up only one flight of stairs. The Hosts were extremely kind, and one member, gave me a cell phone charger to use since my adapter wad not right for South Korea. I arrived about 12 am and even though check in was not until 3, they let me have a room. The room wad more than I had hped for. The live green plant especially moved me.. It showed me that they really cared about the little things. The only tip I will share has to do with the bathroom light... I was not able to find the switch until i askex the lady on the ladt day🤭She showed me, it is behind the bathroom door (see last photo) Everything was so clean and had a place to cook, although i ate out. My stay was very relaxing and peaceful, the beach was wonderful and the bus service to the airport#111 or 306 so convenient... Only a 30 minute ride for 1,700 W. Then you can ride rail/ metro into the heart of Seoul. Best trip ever thank you Eulwang Long Beach Hosts🙏🙏🙏👍

Here are some objective facts for future guests: 1. The host was an elderly Korean gentleman who didn't speak much English. If you have questions or want to communicate extensively, you might find it challenging. 2. This is a very basic guesthouse with no soundproofing, and the hallways are narrow. Guests across the hall from me were cooking instant noodles in the kitchen late at night and chatting and laughing loudly in their room until 3 AM. It was impossible to sleep. Since they were in their own room and not a common area, and the guesthouse simply has very poor sound insulation, there was no reason to stop them or complain. Therefore, if you're a light sleeper, I don't recommend this place. 3. The guests opposite me checked out very early in the morning, so the host started tidying up and cleaning around 7 AM, which created some noise. So, after being kept awake until the early hours by the noise across the hall, I was then woken up by the host cleaning the room opposite. The whole experience was terrible. So, there's a reason why it's cheap, I guess. It's a bit of a walk from the subway, but that's acceptable. There's a 7-Eleven, a CU convenience store, and places to eat nearby. The location is fine. However, both the subjective and objective aspects of the guesthouse itself warrant careful consideration.

The rooms and the guesthouse are quite small, but there are three shared bathrooms, which is convenient. The place isn't spotless, but it's clean enough and definitely not dirty. Guests can also use the laundry facilities for free, which is a nice bonus. They also provide free breakfast, and hair dryers are available for guests to use. The guesthouse is exclusively for women, so it feels safe and comfortable. The owner is kind and accommodating. The location is great—it's close to the subway and bus stop, and there are plenty of restaurants and convenience stores nearby. The neighborhood is quiet, but the guest staying in the room above mine was quite noisy. Every time they moved around, the bunk bed would shake, which was a bit uncomfortable. One of the best parts of my stay was meeting friendly solo travelers and fellow concert-goers. The guesthouse is a bit old and could definitely use some upgrades or renovation, but overall, I had a pleasant stay and would still recommend it for travelers looking for an affordable place in a convenient location.

For future guests: Look for the red circle in the photo – that's where the sign is, and you'll find letters for each guest posted on the door. These will tell you your room number and how to get in. While it's basic in terms of cleanliness, I think it's fantastic for the price. Amenities included a toothbrush, shampoo, body soap, and bar soap. There was one large tube of toothpaste (about half-full, a household size), but I didn't use it as I'm not keen on sharing toothpaste with strangers, though it is there. There's no water provided, so it's best to buy some beforehand. There's a convenience store very close by.

The hotel's exterior has a really cool design, and at night, with the lights on, the ambiance is just perfect ✨. I'd give full marks for both service and facilities; my friends and I had a very comfortable stay. The room was clean, tidy, and all the little details were well thought out. I'd definitely choose this place again next time I visit! 👍

Pros: Great location, spacious room, and I was able to check in early. There's information about a free shuttle bus. It's inexpensive. The hotel has a convenience store and dining options on the first floor, which is handy. Cons: There's no front desk, so location details and room passcodes are sent via email, which can be a bit confusing. The towels smelled. While there are coffee cups and a kettle, there are no coffee or tea sachets provided. Basically, any issues can be resolved by contacting Trip.com, so it's not a major problem. However, if you can't get into your room smoothly, you might end up waiting for a response in the heat, depending on the season. Given the low price, I suppose that's to be expected.

Due to my flight schedule, my checkout time was pushed past midnight, but the front desk staff kindly waited for me, which was a huge help. (However, since it seems to be a privately run establishment, I'd recommend contacting them in advance if you'll be late.) The room was spotless, every corner sparkling clean, and the high ceilings gave it a wonderful, spacious feel. I especially appreciated the generous supply of towels. There's a convenience store nearby, and the Korean sea view I saw early in the morning, right by the hotel, was absolutely breathtaking. Usually, I just sightsee in Seoul and head straight home, so experiencing the peaceful morning air in Korea, so different from Seoul, was truly refreshing. Depending on the owner's availability, they even provided a shuttle service to Incheon Airport right after checkout for 10,000 won (which, split between my friend and me, was cheaper than a taxi). This was incredibly convenient as it saved us the hassle and wait of calling a taxi. Next time I need a place to stay in this area, this will definitely be my first choice.

If you need a place to stay overnight near the airport, this is a great option. We landed around 10:40 PM, and by the time we cleared passport control and got our luggage, it was already about midnight. You can get to the hotel by a free shuttle that runs until 12:30 AM; we took the 12:12 AM shuttle, and it was right on schedule. It's just one stop, and then a walk of about 200-300 meters. Check-in is contactless. There's a small shop nearby that was still open around 1:00 AM. In the room, there were three single beds, even though I booked a room for two with two beds. There was a kettle and even facilities to cook something, and a washing machine. However, there was no crockery, just two cups. No tea, only two small bottles of water in the fridge. Everything was in good condition, the only issue was that the shower door didn't close properly. Overall, it's a pretty good hotel for an airport stay.

Super close to the subway, this is an older hotel with really spacious rooms. The front desk is automated, and there's a lovely lady with good English on duty from after 12 PM until late at night. If no one's at the front desk, you can just call, and there are cameras everywhere. I had two separate bookings for three consecutive nights and wanted to stay in the same room. I left a note when I went out early in the morning, and sure enough, they managed to extend my stay in the same room that night. Very reassuring service!

I had a nice time there. The room was clean and the couple running the motel were very friendly (even though they didn't speak English). The mattress on the bed was pretty hard (which I personally didn't mind but that might be a factor for some people). The sliding door to the private bathroom was very loud and creaky, but since I was travelling alone I just kept it open. And lastly, there was no proper window in my room but there was a window sized ”hole” that I could open or close if I wanted to, and it had layers of nets instead of glass.
