Incheon, Korea: has anyone stayed at the new Air Garden Hotel?
 

We understand this is a new hotel located at the new international airport in Incheon. Has anyone stayed at this hotel? Your opinions?

Does anyone have a good suggestion on
an airport hotel in Incheon, South
Korea. We are arriving at 5:00 p.m.
and leaving for Manila the following
day at 9:00 a.m. Is there anything we
can see for such a short stopover.

Thank you.

Sorry, can't comment on hotels, but for what you could see, Linrab, for a Seoul stopover - Insadong - it's the cultural area of Seoul with lots of antique shops, galleries and restaurants. Take the no. 602-1 bus from the airport (ask for directions where to board the bus from the help desk before exiting the terminal and yes they speak English). It's about an hour bus ride from ICN. Cost is 7000 won or roughly $6 each. When boarding, tell the driver you're going to Insadong (AKA Anguk Station) and he'll make sure you'll get off at the right spot. There are a couple of palaces (Changdeukgong and Gyeongbukdong) around the area depending on how much time you have. On the way back to the airport, cross the street in order to board the airport-bound 602-1 bus. Make sure you're standing next to the airport bus sign (blue sign board that stands about 6 feet tall) or else the driver will not stop for you.

Yes the new hotel in the airport is nice and quiet. Room was small, but everything was clean and new.
It's was easier to stay there since we only had a 8 hr. layover.
Another time we had 24 hr. layover in Korea and stayed in the city.
Stick to the airport hotel.

http://www.airgardenhotel.com./ is the site for the hotel and it appears to be nice, for a "transit hotel" as is the airport as well is very nice.

HOTEL NEW AIRPORT {Incheon International Airport}- this is the best place to stay when u have late arrival or early morning flight to catch. They also provide free Shuttle {pick up and also ride back next day} without any charges.Plus rooms are very cozy and come with Computer, Whirpool, DVD, Sauna, etc.etc. Also golf course on top floor for some relaxation.Hotel is surrounded by many restaurants serving KOREAN, CHINESE, JAPANESE as well WESTERN food. Most importantly recommendation for this hotel is for the able service of Mr. Pai, Indian guy delivering extra ordinary services alongwith info on every topic.

Anyone can have a nice and pleasant stay at New airport.

Have a good stay...

I haven't stayed at the Air Garden Hotel (transit hotel) but I also have an overnight stop in Incheon and have been researching my options. The transit hotel costs US $73 for 12 hours and US $100 for 16 to 24 hours. Hotel New Airport costs US $73/night and gets great customer reviews on asiahotels.com. According to the reviews, their pick-up and drop-off at service at Incheon is very efficient and the rooms sound pretty nice. So, I've decided to go with Hotel New Airport.
