7. Diving into Price Analysis
Finally, let’s delve into arguably one of the most critical categories in hotel reviews – pricing.
To pinpoint where you can get your money’s worth, I’ll be comparing rates from renowned hotel comparison platforms like ‘HotelsCombined,’ ‘SkyScanner,’ and ‘Trivago.’
Our criteria for this low-price hunt? A one-night stay from Wednesday to Thursday for two guests in a single room—breakfast excluded (as it often significantly bumps up costs).
7.1. Price Comparison via ‘HotelsCombined’
After searching through ‘HotelsCombined’, the best deal I found was $55 when booking through the official website of the ‘Best Westerns’.
7.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’
The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $69 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Hotels.com’, ‘Agoda’, ‘Booking.com’, etc.

The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $55 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Booking.com’.
7.4. Official Website of ‘Best Western Premier Incheon Airport‘
I also explored prices directly from the ‘Best Western Premier Incheon Airport‘ official website. The lowest price on the official website was KRW 80,100. Applying the exchange rate at the time of inquiry, which is KRW 1,296.5 per dollar, the calculated result comes out to be approximately $61.7
Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, ‘Hotels Combined’ and ‘Trivago’ offer the best deal at USD 55 for a stay at the ‘Best Western Premier Incheon Airport‘. You might want to keep this information handy while booking.
★ Do bear in mind, these rock-bottom prices are subject to change based on your stay dates and when you’re conducting your search.
