South Korea Budget Hotels

"Review: Golden Tulip Hotel Incheon (Incheon, Korea) I recently stayed at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Incheon and was impressed by two standout aspects: cleanliness and location. Cleanliness: Impeccable standards throughout the property Rooms were spotless upon arrival, with fresh linens and a tidy bathroom. Housekeeping maintained high hygiene levels daily, ensuring surfaces stayed dust-free and well-sanitized. Public areas, including the lobby, hallways, and dining spaces, were consistently clean and well-maintained. Common touchpoints (elevator buttons, door handles, and countertops) appeared regularly cleaned, contributing to a reassuring sense of safety and comfort. Location: A strategic hub for convenience The hotel sits in a convenient area for travelers with easy access. Proximity to the airport express and the subway in 5min walk makes day trips or quick commutes straightforward. Nearby dining and shopping options add to the practicality of the location, reducing the need for long trips after a day of meetings or sightseeing. For visitors planning to explore Seoul or Incheon’s coastal attractions, the hotel serves as a comfortable base with efficient transit connections. "

"We stayed at ENA when we were in Seoul. The location was great, about a 15-20 min walk to Myeongdong and 10 min walk to Namdaemun. Also a 5 min bus ride to Gyeongbokgung. It was close enough to Myeongdong but quieter than staying there. The only difficult part was that our taxi driver didn't know the hotel (maybe because it's relatively new?) but that was right at the beginning. There was a pharmacy, Paris Baguette, and several coffee shops very close to the hotel so it was convenient when we needed to pick up breakfast or needed meds. The hotel is very clean and the staff is very friendly. The rooms were also bigger than most hotels which was great, given that there were 3 of us in each room (3 single beds which was already great)! Also, the airport limousine bus was right across the street on the main road which was very convenient! We would definitely stay here again!"

"Excellent staff, service and central location. Very close to subway station that connects to all over Seoul. Airport bus stops on same side of street as hotel and within a 2min walk to hotel. Great breakfast buffet to start the day. 5min walk to Myeongdong shopping and night life, but far enough from the noise. Would highly recommend this hotel. "

"The Staff were great, the Hotel is beautiful, access to all of the shopping was nice and of course Lotteworld was a fun experience."

"Centrally located. Very helpful staff. Enjoyed our stay."

"Great value."

"I understand this place is very cheap and maybe I should not have high expectations. But, I was underwhelmed by the experience. First morning I was woken up very early (6:30 or so) by the cleaner banging doors outside my room. While in Korea I worked at night so I would sleep around 4:00 am or so. Sleep was important to me. The staff did caution her and she woke me up around 7:30 the next morning in a similar fashion. Then there was constant noise with megaphones coming from a park of some sort in front of the hotel. I stayed here 6 nights so as you can imagine, I did not sleep much. Another night, a baby cried his lungs out right by my room. The walls are very thin. Room service was a hit or miss. Coke sometimes came with a glass of ice and sometimes it did not. The last night I ordered spicy ramen and got food poisoning so bad I thought I was going to die the next day. The staff was kind and attentive generally, but this place is definitely for those who are out early every day and barely spend any time inside the room. "
