Hello. I'm new to Korea and have been working in Incheon for the last 2 months. I'm planning to go on a group trip this weekend which will depart from the Hamilton Hotel at 8 am on Saturday. As there is no way for me to get out there in time on the day of the trip, I'd like to stay someplace overnight. I need to find a place that is open around 11pm on Friday and takes walk-ins.

All I require is a decent, clean place for a few hours sleep that is easy to get to and near the departure area. Any suggestions? Thanks!

If you don't mind staying at a love hotel there are quite a few walk in places. Most will ask to see you Alien Residents card.

If you really want to save money you can sleep in the sauna in the basement of the Hamilton.

Saxiif,
Hmm that sounds interesting. How would I go about sleeping there? Do you have to pay a certain amount to get in? Do they have a sleeping room?

This in incorrect. There are homosexuals in Korea, but it is mostly foreigners. However, if you decide to sleep in the Hamilton Hotel Sauna, don't be surprised if you are touched by several men while you are sleeping.

Yeah seriously... this is actually true.

You could find yourself another sauna though, maybe in the Yongsan area.

And it definitely should be possible to get to Itaewon by 8am from Incheon. Buses usually start running around 5.30-6am.

Probably too late now but there are a heap of cheap hotels near hooker hill and they're not too bad 20-30k per night.
