Hello all!

My parents are coming to Korea this summer and I need to find a good hotel near Incheon airport that will be comfortable for them. They aren't yeogwan people and would feel most comfortable in a western-style hotel. They don't care if it is the fanciest hotel either, but it should look clean.

I know there is a Best Western, but I was hoping to find something a little cheaper that is still conveniently located to the airport. Any suggestions?

I stayed there in Feb. for 50,000. If the rates have gone up that much, they have lost me! It's a nice deal for 50,000, but not 77,000 standards!

This website gives you the hotel for 61,000 but you have to pay for breakfast.

This seems to be the cheapest.

Desultude - how did you book your hotel?

I arrived late at night from the States and the information desk at the airport made the arrangements. Then the hotel's shuttlebus picked me up. Quite easy and convenient.

But even closer than "Airport Town Square" is the Business Centre in which are the Hyatt and a Best Wetsern. Within a few minutes' walk of both is very acceptable Thai restaurant.

I just spoke with Sky Hotel about a reservation for the end of the month- for 1 person- 77,000. I was not that impressed with the place- really- there wasn't even shampoo in the bathroom, or any of the other little nicities you get even in a 40K yogwan.

Anyone know anything in the 50K range around either the airport or Seoul Station?

We ended up staying at the Hub Herb for 65,000 a night which was the cheapest we could get after calling and shopping around at websites.
