3. Showcasing Top-tier Reviews from Korean Guests
Being situated in South Korea, it’s no surprise that ‘Hotel Ora Incheon’ plays host to a significant number of Korean guests. In my quest for understanding guest experiences, I’ve come across a plethora of reviews penned by Koreans. Allow me to share some of these standout reviews with you.
3.1. Best Review: “Incheon Airport View at Hotel ORA, a Stay in Yeongjongdo”
Summary of the Blog Post
This is an introduction to Hotel ORA, which offers a view of Incheon Airport. Located right next to Incheon Airport, this hotel boasts a view of the runway. I stayed in a deluxe twin room for 105,000 KRW per night, and the view of the airport from the window was impressive.
However, I was disappointed that the window was full of dust. The room structure was unique, and I could work on my laptop here, but the lack of chairs was uncomfortable. Also, there were limited places to plug in electricity, and the USB port on the table did not work, which was inconvenient.
However, room service and the cafe inside the hotel offer a variety of menus, and the sandwich provided for breakfast was delicious. The room was spacious and clean, but the cleanliness of the window and a little chilly temperature were disappointing.

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 roomโbreakfast excluded (as it often significantly bumps up costs).
7.1. Price Comparison via ‘HotelsCombined’
After searching through ‘HotelsCombined’, the best deal I found was $62 when booking through ‘Hotels.com’, ‘Expedia‘, ‘Orbitz’, and ‘travelocity’.
7.2. Price Comparison via ‘Sky Scanner’
The lowest price on ‘Sky Scanner’ is $60 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Vio.com’.
7.3. Price Comparison via ‘Trivago’
The lowest price on ‘Trivago’ is $49 for a 1-night stay when booking through ‘Agoda’.
7.4. Official Website of ‘Hotel Ora Incheon‘
I also explored prices directly from the ‘Hotel Ora Incheon‘ official website. The lowest price on the official website was KRW 85,000. When applying the exchange rate at the time of inquiry, which is KRW 1,306 per dollar, it comes out to approximately $65.
Our analysis reveals that out of all four sites considered, ‘Trivago’ offers the best deal at USD 49 for a stay at the ‘Hotel Ora Incheon’ when booking through ‘Agoda’. You might want to keep this information handy while booking.
โ Do bear in mind, these rock-bottom prices are subject to change based on your stay dates and when you’re conducting your search.
โ Also crucial to remember – today’s best deal doesn’t necessarily promise future savings.
โ Consider this ‘Lowest Price Analysis’ as a guiding light rather than an absolute rule.
โ For savvy hotel booking, I’d recommend revisiting these comparison sites during your accommodation planning phase – you never know when you might stumble upon an even better deal!”
And with that, we wrap up our review of the ‘Hotel Ora Incheon‘, seen through a distinctly Korean lens.
