I stayed in Metro hotel which is abt 1 min walk away from ibis. Ibis room is small & abit ex. I took the premium room at metro with 2 queen beds. If u taking the airport bus, it stops right in front of ibis hotel.

mummychia, just in case, is this the hotel you are talking about?

199-33 Euljiro 2-ga Jung-Gu, Seoul 100-845, South Korea
So it can reach by the airport bus right?

Yes it is. The airport bus will stop at ibis hotel, its just a 1 or 2 mins walk from there. U will board at the same bus stop to Incheon airport as well.

oh dear i have checked, there is only 1 delux room avaialble, but it is smoking room. but u r right, 1 double bed plus 1 single bed. guess will be big enough.


and come with breakfast. they quoted $207SGD. roughly the right price? i approached expedia, but they said it is full. i only got the above 1 room availablity when i approach the hotel directly.

wonder if it is worth taking a smoking room…

As I have not received my credit card bills so not sure what rate the bank charges but its roughly ard $225 for my premium room for 2 adults & 2 kids. I read reviews that even if its a smoking room, they really clean it very thoroughly, no smell at all.

They are usually full very fast due to good location at affordable price.

Hi, all

Now Korea is very cold. Particularly, it is snowing heavily.
Like this weather, it is very interesting to skiing or waterpark(with hot spring).
This winter will be colder than last years (I’m Korean and I’ve heard from my parents)
So if you have some plan to travel Korea, you must mittens, wolly hat, muffler and mask for you kids.

Yes, it is -5 deg right now in Seoul. Will be there in two weeks time and in the Sorak mountains which will be super cold. Just need to wear proper winter wear to protect yourself, not forgetting lip gloss and moisturiser to prevent rash from dry skin. Children would be more difficult as after putting all the wear plus beanie…they look puffy n like a ball of wool…but very cute!!
