GOLDEN TULIP Incheon Airport Hotel & Suites

The hotel is about 6 kilometers from the airport, and a taxi costs around 14,000 KRW. Make sure to book the airport pickup service at least one day in advance; the pickup point is right on the arrivals floor. For the drop-off service, you also need to reserve it before 10:00 AM the day before, otherwise, it gets fully booked easily. We failed to secure a spot this time and had to take a taxi instead. There is definitely huge room for improvement in terms of cleanliness. First, the reusable slippers provided by the hotel had a foul odor, which was quite disgusting. Second, at least in the room we stayed in, the shower had neither a curtain nor a door, causing the bathroom floor to be completely flooded after a shower, and we had to mop it up ourselves to prevent slipping. The only advantages are that there are plenty of dining options and convenience stores nearby. I won't be choosing this hotel again.

The hotel's location is extremely convenient, right next to Incheon's Unseo Subway Station and in the heart of the downtown area. There are plenty of dining options nearby, as well as a Lotte Mart and an Olive Young. It's a fantastic choice for anyone catching a flight the next day.

First, a quick note on the shuttle bus: for T2, it's at Gate 8A, and for T1, it's right at the front of the terminal. It's very punctual and reliable. The journey itself takes about 15 minutes, but the detour to T1 adds another 15 minutes. The room was clean, and the bedding was fine. The hotel's location is excellent, with convenient transport and shopping downstairs.

The hotel is right outside Yunxi Station, making transportation incredibly convenient. Downstairs, there's an Olive Young, a convenience store, and many dining options. I highly recommend the octopus BBQ restaurant nearby. For pharmacies, '365' is a great choice – it's large and has a comprehensive selection. The hotel rooms are spacious, clean, and tidy, and the soundproofing is pretty good. The only minor inconvenience is that the bathroom shower stall doesn't have a door. The hotel offers an airport shuttle bus. You need to scan a QR code to book it a day in advance. Once confirmed, pick up your ticket at the front desk, which the driver will collect when you board.

The room is great, I'd recommend this hotel for first-time visitors to Seoul. Don't stay downtown, the value for money there is too low. I suggest staying here for one night and then heading to the city center the next day. This hotel offers value for money that's quite similar to what you'd find in China, and it's surrounded by plenty of shops and restaurants, which is really nice.
