Grandbleu Hotel & Residence

The quiet area has plenty of restaurants and coffee shops, and my room was spotless and well kept. I arrived at 9 AM, and the staff were so kind that they let me check in early for half price. They also agreed to a late checkout without charging for the extra hours. It’s only a 15-20 minute drive from ICN Airport. I loved staying here and would book again for a long layover.

I stayed here for a concert at Inspire Arena, and the price was affordable. The neighborhood has plenty of places to shop and eat, though I didn’t try public transport and getting around may be inconvenient. I used KakaoTaxi instead. The staff were accommodating when I emailed to ask about mailing things over, and they let me check in at 12pm instead of 3pm after I asked by email. Fresh towels and water were provided each day. A very good stay, and I’d come back.

There are food spots, mini marts, bus stops, and even gyms close by, so getting what you need is easy. They let us check in early, and the room was clean. Towels were changed on time every morning. I’d definitely stay here again.

Loved the place and the neighborhood. The livelier downtown area is across the bridge, about a $20 cab ride away, just so you know.
