The gusset house is a street away opposite a town center area, which makes it very easy for getting food to eat. There are 2 24-hour eatery in the town center area, and many other restaurants next to each other. The area has many other hotels, but this place is located in the quiet neighborhood, not the main town area. The owner is very nice, and he picks you up and takes you back to the airport. I highly recommend this place for transit short stay.

The manager there was extremely helpful and gave me extra advice on intl roaming and my phone which he didn't have to do. Answered all questions politely and spoke good English. The free shuttle between the airport and guesthouse was very efficient and fast with little wait time. Instructions on pick up very good. Room very comfortable and clean. The Cherry blossoms being in full bloom was an added bonus. Open gym in park next door too if interested..

We had a connecting flight to Korea so we decided to spend the night to explore. It was very convenient for us to be picked up and dropped off the airport. Inho was very helpful. Our flight was delayed and arrived to Korea late so we didn’t get to see much of the surrounding areas but we had good food and Soju. I love the cleanliness of the place and it was very comfortable to rest. Definitely recommending the place to our friends when they visit Korea too.

This is my 2nd time staying “ happy place”. I need one night stay in Seoul to catch flight the next day. The host is very nice and responds to inquiries fast. After I noticed him my arrival and location, he came to pick me up in less than 10 minutes. I like the location which is close to the airport and the free/fast transportation from/to the airport.

Charming, Traditional, Convenient
The room and property were exactly as described/pictured. The guesthouse was charming and provided all the bare necessities I needed. I go is a consummate host and very attentive. Very close walking distance to Unseo subway station, just two blocks safe walk to tons of eateries and shops. Very convenient public transport or taxi from Incheon airport (host is also happy to arrange pickup/dropoff). I enjoyed my short stay immensely and hope to stay again.

Inho is a very helpful gentleman. He runs a well organized and very clean guesthouse. You can expect everything you need for staying overnight comfortably. He picks up guests from the airport and sends them back to the airport which saves a lot of trouble for the transiting guests. It’s safe in the neighborhood and there are many good options of dining in the walking distance. Next time transiting in Seoul I would definitely choose his guesthouse again! Highly recommended!

Basic good hotel, clean with helpful management
Clean hotel, very basic but good value. Airport transfers have set times so if you plane is late or depart mid morning to 6pm you need to get a taxi because transfer from property to airport is from 5am to 8pm It is somehow misleading to advertise “free airport transfers”. A simple schedule timetable would be of great help

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We are providing shuttle service. The shuttle service is available to everyone who applies. The guest did not apply for a pick-up, so the pick-up service was not provided. Breakfast is not served as stated in Expedia. There are many restaurants and convenience stores right in front of you.

I chose this stay because I read positive feedback about it. However the experience was not as good as I expected. The owner picked up me from the airport but he won’t send me to airport since my flight is in the afternoon. It cost me $8 to taxi over. The checkout time is 10 am originally and he extended to 11 am which was best he could do for me. I had to wait at the airport for 6 hrs. If you are looking for cost efficient place , this is ok place. I personally, won’t choose this place anymore because I feel the service was not good, I think I need a real hotel with round way transportation. Good luck with your pick.

This customer asked for a service that was not provided. And there were so many complaints. I contacted her a day before my stay, but I couldn't contact her.She couldn't use her cell phone, so she called through the airport guide. Fortunately, I was able to pick her up from the airport. She complained a lot on the way from the airport and said she was different from the hotel. She wanted a free shuttle in the afternoon after check-out. Free shuttle not available after checkout. And we're just a two-story building. Her room was on the second floor. She complained that there was no elevator.I carried her luggage. I had to call a taxi for her.She offered to leave me a bad review.We have a hard time with customers like this.

Host was very helpful on check-in and offered to collect us from subway. Unfortunately our data wasn't cooperating. Instructions for directions were only in Korean and very difficult to follow. Room and property were clean and appeared fairly new. Unfortunately plumbing was quite noisy and we could hear other guests. No general common area. Breakfast was basic however sufficient. Free transfer to airport greatly appreciated however appeared to be only three morning times?? Shower was awesome and bed comfy!

Cute guest hotel for an overnight sleep
Nice, cute, & very clean Guest House. Host was very nice & picked us up from the airport. It’s a perfect place if you only need a place to sleep over night and nothing else. Breakfast is a minimal snack. Shuttle to the airport available only before 8:50am. Checkout is by 10 am and host has to go to church on Sunday so we absolutely had to leave the GH by 10am. Our flight wasn’t until 6:20 pm which was inconvenient for us. Great location with restaurant coffee, and shoping near by.

gem of a guesthouse!
We loved our brief stay at Happy Place. In-Ho, the host, provided a free airport shuttle to pick us up and deliver us back to Incheon International which was really helpful as we're not familiar with Korea or the area. The guesthouse itself was really clean, tidy, warm (in the middle of winter) and had everything we needed. Bathroom was beautifully clean with a great shower, and a little breakfast was provided too. Our host was polite, friendly, and kind. Thank you for everything!

10min to Incheon Airport by car, easy to find location, clean and cozy guest house! Person in-charge, Inho Yu is kind enough to assist us to shift the heavy luggage to first floor by staircase. The most important is they provide free shuttle service from guest home to Incheon Airport. Highly recommend to those who want to have a good rest before next day flight!

Excellent for an overnight stay near Seoul airport
Happy Place was the perfect place for my overnight stay near Incheon airport, Seoul. The airport pick up worked smoothly - Happy Place is perhaps 7kms from Incheon. The owner is Inho Yu, a young man who lives upstairs. My room was charming and cosy. Excellent bathroom and very comfortable bed. The "living room", where breakfast and unlimited tea/coffee are available was also comfortable. Breakfast is simple, but that was fine. It is an easy 6-minute walk from Happy Place to the metro station. From there it's just 2 stops to Incheon airport - 1500 won. I did not explore the area around the guesthouse as it was very cold - minus 5C. However, next time I am in Seoul for an overnight transit, I would happily stay in Happy Place again.
