I'm flying out in a months time and getting things organized. My last day is on a Friday, but I'll be staying in Seoul until the next Wednesday morning, and then catching an airport shuttle to Incheon for a 2:00pm flight.

I want to stay in a good, cheap love motel near where I can catch an airport shuttle bus to Incheon. I've heard that you can catch a shuttle from Seoul Express Bus Terminal as well as Seoul Station. I've been around those parts in the past, and I haven't really seen any love motels in the immediate areas.

Anyone know of any motels (good and/or cheap) near Express Bus Terminal or Seoul Station? Or... anyone know of a good/cheap motel anywhere in Seoul near an airport shuttle bus pick-up spot? I'm heading into Seoul this weekend to poke around again, see if I can find a place, but if anyone has any places in mind, would love to hear. Thanks guys!

you don't need to stay near express bus or seoul station, you can catch the airport shuttle from pretty much anywhere. i don't know of any love motels near seoul station or express bus, and if it matters to you, there's really nothing to do in the immediate area anyway. you'd be better off in a love motel in itaewon or hongdae or wherever.

if you want to stay near the airport itself, i recommend the incheon airport guest house. it's about 40 k a night, and 5 minutes from the airport via free shuttle.

Just got back from Seoul and found a great area for cheap love motels. It's in the Insadong/Tapgol Park area, just across the street from Changdeokgung Palace. It looks to be the backpacker area of Seoul. Loads of places to choose from, all around 30,000/night. There's also an airport shuttle bus stop in front of Changdeokgung Palace.

Ask the attendant at the information desk on the arrivals floor of the Incheon Airport about the hostel near the airport. It's either one or two bus stops away on the free shuttle route. The price is about 40,000 won, IIRC. The rooms are apartments in an officetel.
