Noa Residence Incheon Airport

There are places to eat and a convenience store in the building. The taxi from the airport was a good $10, and the driver was helpful and a great guy. But Booking.com gave me the wrong shuttle instructions, so I spent nearly an hour trying to sort it out before taking a taxi. The reception guy was helpful and got a shuttle arranged for the return to the airport. I only had one night there, and with the trains stopping around midnight, I didn’t want to risk going into Seoul, so I missed the trip.

The free shuttle takes about 20 minutes from the airport and drops you right outside. It’s conveniently located a few kilometres away, and the rooms are spacious and clean. We wished we’d booked more than one night.

The place is old and looks a bit run down, though they’re trying to spruce it up. The bathroom was clean and new, and so were the bed and closet. The hallway felt like something from a horror movie. Still, it was good enough for a cheap night between flights.

The rooms are spacious and clean, and the location by the airport is great. It’s right across from the bus stop, so you can’t miss it. The check-in clerk leaves at 23:00, but if you’re arriving later and let them know beforehand, they’ll arrange a smooth check-in.
