Good hotel in a strategic location

When you reach Incheon International Airport, you can take bus service 5010 which takes around an hour to reach this Hotel. Bus fare is roughly US$15. The bus will stop directly in front of the hotel. The bus service starts as early as 5-6 am. There are also many Taxi waiting outside the hotel if you need one so there is no need to wait for one. Out of 10 Taxi drivers, 8 will not speak English. You need to have the names of the place you want to go in Korean writing to show to the Taxi driver.

Most of the staff in the hotel reception can speak a bit of basic English. Communication should not be a problem. The staff are polite and helpful. The rooms are clean. Bed is comfortable. Internet is free of charge. Each room even come with a free laptop for your use.

There is a restaurant in the same building of the hotel call Meissen which serve very good continental food. Price are not cheap but the food is worth the price. There is another restaurant accessible through the back exit door of the hotel just across the road. The restaurant belongs to the hotel and the restaurant serve very good Korean BBQ. You can have the food as much as you wish for the BBQ.

There is also a big shopping centre call COEX nearby. It is about 5-10 minutes by taxi from the hotel. There you can do your shopping and also there are a large variety of restaurants for you to choose from. Overall, it has been a good experience for me. I will use the hotel again when I travel.

Nothing exceptional but nothing negative

Most of the hotel guests come from Asia, and you can tell immediately by the many review written in oriental languages. This is confirmed at breakfast where food is mostly asian. No wonder that my colleague and I were the only westerners.

I used the hotel only to sleep and get my clothes changed, but had an overall good impression. My room was quite spacious, clean, and the free internet access was definitely a plus. Some problems with the toilet flush which were fixed immediately. The people at reception were not very friendly but were very efficient. I would definitely go back to the place, last but not least because it is a good value for money.

Good value and location but lacks few important basics for me

Let me start with the good stuff first. What I like about this hotel is the following
1. The Airport Limo bus 6010 stops directly in front of hotel. Price is 15000 WON one way
2. Room rates included breakfast at free in room internet access
3. Services is good and everything works.
4. Breakfast spread is decent but nothing special
What I did not like
1. Standard Room is a bit small but ok for one person
2. Standard Room amenities are very basic and bed and pillows are not comfortable
3. Hotel does not include a gym which is a big no no for me but may not be for others

Very hard bed & fairly basic living conditions

The positives: The surrounding area is pretty good: high end fashion shops, lots of coffee shops, a few decent restaurants. Internet in room is free (if a bit slow). TV has three or four international channels including BBC World, CNN and a very good channel showing the latest Western movies. The airport bus (6010) stops right outside (however the trip to the airport can last about 2 hours).

The negatives: The "double" bed was small and very very hard. I am told this is normal in Korea and I quite like a firm mattress but this one actually hurt to sleep on! The noise from the eight (yes EIGHT) lane highway outside is noticeable at night. The hotel is near a couple of clubs and we were disturbed by booming techno tunes well into the early hours. There was no pay per view movie channel. The rooms are small and the furnishings old and ordinary (however everything worked). I asked for a iron and ironing board. It was delivered promptly to my room but because I said I wasn't using it until the next day, they took it back! I then had to order it again the day after. You have to pay for the shampoo and conditioner available in the bathroom (I have never seen that before). Mini-bar was very basic - just a few tinned drinks and a couple of snacks. No room safe. Very small wardrobe for hanging clothes. If you are checking in (or enquire about any service) early in the day (i.e. before 7.00am) there will only be one busy receptionist on duty. There are lot of stairs in and out of the hotel with no means of entrance for anyone in a wheelchair or with difficulties walking.

If you are going to a wedding in the same hotel, are traveling in from the airport and specifically ask for a soft mattress, this hotel might be just about worth it.
