Top South Korea Hotel Reviews

Golden Tulip Incheon Airport Hotel & Suites

Golden Tulip Incheon Airport Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent
"Be sure to book the Hotel Shuttle from the airport at least one day in advance. Otherwise go outside to the taxis and they will take you for about 12,000krw. Do not take the black taxis- they are way overpriced! There are convenience stores and an Olive Young right next to the hotel for any skin & hair care needs. Very convenient! Good price, good proximity to and from the airport!"
